Very nice photo!
I enjoyed looking at the photos on your blog. I love the old buildings and the way you took the pics of them.
If you get a chance, could you tell me how you got your pics this big in your blog? Mine don't come out that size.

A beautiful day to be outside & grab a magazine from the Kiosk. Or a postcard?
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with those near & dear to you.
Looks like summer in the southern hemisphere. It's freezing up here...
Here from Australia, where the weather is similar to your pics!
Have enjoyed my visit.
Happy 2009!
