I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Yes, 2009 has had lots of sorrow and pain and unnecessary troubles for me too, last of them just in the last few days, so I can relate to your thoughts and feelings. Nevertheless I am wishing you lots of hopeful sunny rays of little pleasures and bright and joyful moments to come!

I agree with you and i wish 2010 would be better and more full of joy. Your photo is awesome, i like the very soft blue/metalic tones.

A bleak but also lovely image Carin. The past will always hold hurts as well as good times. At least in the future, though there will also be hurts, you don't expect them so you can just look forward to the good times. I wish you a happy new year Carin Big hugs :)

Dear Carin I hope you have a truly wonderful new year....hugs :-)

If auld acquaintance be forgot..... Your stellar postwork has achieved a gothic surreal effect in this fine composition, Carin. And, I don't know what your problems were over this rapidly diminishing year of 2009, but I wish you the best of health and circumstances during 2010.
