  4. Adore the nautical shots Cloudia and the sunsets from you nest in the sky are marvelous.
    p.s. the city at night shot your Uncle took is fabulous I love it, so much going on there..with the Marlon Brando 'On the Waterfront' poster I guess it must have been taken in the middle 50's, clothes everything brilliant..was this taken in Philly?

  9. Thank you Cloudia, your words are extra sweet today, and they leave me wanting for a slow sail across the bluest of waters, before the cold winds move in. Safe sails away-Karen

  10. YOUR words just bring SO much joy into my life.

    Extraordinary - yet daily; a Zen koan
    Thanks everybody!

    Perth Pal mentions my uncle (by marriage)Louis Clyde Stoumen (1917–1991) who was a film director, and also a photog. His shots of NY City at night, Times Square, and other places like Puerto Rico are wonderful. Check him out if you get a chance.
