In the thumbnail, it almost looked like a jigsaw puzzle or a painting, and the theme is "FANTASY". ^_^ Nice One ! could've been better if the christmas tree hadn't been blocked by the houses on the left. Merry Christmas to U!

Linn Currie   {K:24426} 12/26/2004
Hi Jan
This is the kind of image that film producers would spend a lot of $$ to create. Fairy-tale image, I can just imagine how children and those that are young-at-heart would enjoy being in such a magical place.
Excellent work - to my favourites.
Linn

Thx for your comment on the Orchid. Good Farsi :) How do know? ;-)


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 1/6/2005
Hi Jan, this sure is the embodiment of the classical Christmas scene. The warm lighting over the cool tones of the snow of a city slowly being engulfed by the night.... Only 11 months to go...

Cheers,

Hugo

Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:177228} 1/27/2005
Hi Jan..
A magic atmosphere of this Christmas village. I see him alone now! Sin. I lost a big moment. where the light of the evening enters the houses and the light of the candles goes out from the houses!
Where the light of the night wraps the houses, and where the light of the candles lights up the night.
And you find the magic to the huge of the two lights, the magic of the Christmas..
A magic moment that I hope you will have or gone by good.
My new best wishes and thanks.
roby
