    Det finns en tydlig orsak varför jag alltid öppnar just denna blog först av alla. Den orsaken är bilderna i denna blog. Vackrare kan jag inte tänka mig. Den sista bilden här tar andan ur mej.

    Beautiful pics! I took some of a silver ball like yours on a building during a sunrise. They didn't turn out the best, but you have made me want to go back at different times of the day and take some more. (This was the first time I used my new camera, too.)

    If you get a chance, here's a link to pic with the ball in it that I posted on my other blog:

    I like all of them, and found quite interesting the sphere.
    Didn't you alreday use it (or a similar one) for other great photos?

    The panorama photo is just great too.

    Sorry for the late visit. The photo for SWF is so beautiful. I love the reflection on the shiny ball. It looked like it captured the whole scenery in it. Very lovely.
