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

I don't see Nashville or Tennessee on your list. :) But some great cities on your list I have been to them all, but the Canadian ones. Happy travels. Beautiful photo of Central Park, I will be traveling there in April with my daughters school.

The sepia tone makes any shot seem a historic capture. This is a beautifully composed shot, well done!

Ek is so opgewonde om te sien jy, ek kan skaars wag! Ons is gretig wag op die finale roete. (Roete? Is that right? I mean itinerary, and I'm not sure roete is the right word.) I love this in mono ... it's such a lovely mood! I've never been to New York, but it's on my list!

Geluk! A wonderful capture of a memory for you to look forward to seeing again! For me ... London... a real possibility for me to relive some memories there... Clive

Tara - maybe you and Bill should fly over to New York while I'm there! I can show you around... LOL... I know New York MUCH better than my own city - as strange as that may sound! Roete is correct! :):)

Glad to see you're up and about and have my city as a possibility to visit! Postcard perfect, with stellar POV, clarity and detail in this capture, Carin!

I fell in love first with the thumbnail. The full image took my breath. I have photos and postcard photos from my grandfather's box of memories that look just like this. The mono is exquisitely done. It has touched my heart...and I can't wait for Costa and I to meet you in San Francisco. I'll even brave the train to get there. :-)

PJ echoed my feelings about this. Your choice of subject and the sepia tone makes this image timeless. It could be a picture from my parent's photo album. Most of my family lives in New York so I don't need much of an excuse to visit. If you can't make it to the West Coast perhaps some of us could arrange a meet-and-greet in the Big Apple. I haven't had a New York pizza in such a long time.
