I've almost pulled this one, Mike, more than a few times, as it drew no comments, but I it was always one of my personal favorites, so couldn't quite do it. I'm tickled that you found it and delighted that you also enjoy it! This was the actual ceiling in the Painted Desert Inn (that is sunlight coming through) which had for the most part been restored by this time (end of 2006).

Thanks for swinging by and for your kind words! Best, alicia

you're most welcome! alicia i DECIDED AS YOUR GALLERY IS SUBSTANTIAL, ALMOST LIKE WAR& PEACE! I SHOULD JUMP A PAGE OR 6, GLAD i DID!

i HAVE SOMETHING SILIMAR ON ONE OF MY PAGES, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HIGLIGHT A LINK TO IT, SORRY, O-Oooooo! the capslock bit me again! sorry, any how, just look on my present page, I'm sure you will recognise the similarity, if you squint a bit!!

There's a message for you on MaryAlices page, all about my tangle with a CANON...it's a must read!

Fare thee well for the nonce, young maiden, for I must return to the drawing of American barns!

Cheers!....Mike b¬D

HOL= Howl Out Loud(as in after laughing out loud) FOFIS = Fall On Floor In Stitches!, when laughing so much one gets a stitch?

WAS that a threat or a promise? to come and visit me, either way, you are MOST WELCOME to my humble abode! How wonderful, how charming, how perfectly sweet of youto think it's delightful that I draw American Barns!-you are a honey!

I am getting used to a severe loss of sight following an operation on my remaining working eye in 2005, snce when I have been a little afraid 9I suppose) to draw & paint, as much as I used to. Since joining the Panoramio Community, and meeting with so many photographic artists, I have asked the Authors of the barn photos for permission to sketch them as a type of recreation I suppose, but I am surprising myself!

(I think I told you I can TALK, its a pity there/s not a place in the OLYMPICS for me, I'm sure to win Gold!!)

So, I have a date now, with a slice of lemon, an ice cube, tonic water and a LARGE GIN!, so I bid you good evening, Happy Sunday And take care Alicia, From Mike b¬)))

Happy Sunday August 9th, friend Mike. I am back in panoramio land with much catching up to do, but have started backwards, finding you in first place...;~. And yes, that was both a threat and a promise - I will be back to visit you. Your refreshment sounds very tempting, maybe I will indulge. Cheers again from across the globe. alicia
