    • Dear Beth, I will progressively post some of the 360 new photos of the Pietas seen in many huge places World Heritage classified as located on the Caminos de Santiago de Compostella; As many have been pictured several times under different angles, that gives me a large possibility to offer You those You love particularly; You have only to ask for; I think I have collected about 200 really new distinct ones of good quality, a pity that some in a unique examplary have been taken in such furtive bad conditions (mostly in Spain because no photo, no tripod!) that they are not showable! With my best thoughts, Jacques

    • Dear Beth, Thank You to have posted this image of Saigon; I am completely absorbed by the pictures of our last trip(not to say quite upset, working more than 12 hours a day since coming back home on this mountain of pictures) and by albums preparation; I thank You for the kind messages on their subject; That absorbs me day and night and I think I must refrain posting, and more when I see that Webshots takes no care of these efforts, my scores on these albums being the same since posting despite many viewers writing to me! I have posted a new one to-day which perhaps will interest You; With my best thoughts, Jacques

    • Hi Beth, This is a very imaginative and beautiful collection. You have very generous friends. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your kind words about my Capitol Reef album. As to my own D70 - I've been using almost nothing but Nikon cameras and lenses for a great many years and the main reason why I stayed with Nikon when I went digital was because of my existing collection of Nikon lenses. In lenses, Canon may come close, but I still prefer Nikon.

    • Hello Beth! What a great art album this is! It is very interesting to see how each art period has influenced the others and how the sculptural styles have evolved over time. I am going to keep an eye for Pietas in my future travels, if you still want to add some... But so far my travels take me to National Parks! I thank you very much for your comments in my Eastern Sierra album, I have thousands of pictures yet to sort out from all the stunning scenery I saw in California: Death Valley, ghost towns, etc. Best regards, Ina

    • Dear Beth, you had a great idea of putting together this small and precious collection. Sure, the Merano Pieta is very impressive! I watched the album twice! I also put you on the list of my favourites as I found plenty of interesting albums on your page. I would like to say thank you for the congratulations on my birthday! It might have been rather unbecoming to congratulate somebody you have nothing to do with, but Jacques, the dear fellow, wanted to cheer me up (I have recently been very sick and hospitalized for quite some time)! I hope you'll excuse his zeal!Greetings from Japan, Gabriela

This is a superb album. I look forward to your adding more from your collection. In the mean time, no Pieta will escape my attention in the futurs whenever I step into a church!

I got it after our trip to Rome in 2000. Just like yours in this album, this Pieta reminds me of God's love and compassion to us all. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend! :)Bernie

    • Hello! Just stumbled onto this beautiful and soul stirring album. All the pics do reflect something. For me the expression on Mary's (Peace be upon her)face in Rome 2 Pieta reflects anguish, helplessness and a heart wrenching complaint! As if complaining to GOD how could you let this to pass!!!
