"For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands."
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

This is a photo of my wonderful sister Wendy. She has been my rock through the difficult periods of my life, and is my sister and my best friend.
The photo was taken on a train between Ostend and Bruges. The sun was shining through the window giving a dazzling light. I have cropped and re-sized it, and applied the painting effect in PhotoSuite to soften the image.

Please, Mr Arnold, Tell your sister than she's lucky to have such a brother. You've been offering me your gentle comments for several days now, so I finally decided to take time to visit your collection. What can I say? I'm really impressed... Your eyes and your mind (for the post-work) make a really great combination. I will try to spend more time to appreciate correctly any of your pictures. (that's why you're now within my favorites.) Thank you and congratulations. pp
