Gratitude

Dear friends,

It is with great gratitude that I look back on these past weeks. First there has been a steady improvement in my condition. I even could go out on my bike again to get some beautiful autumnal shots, before all the splendour is taken away by the November storms. Of course I still have to be careful, limiting my trips in range and exertion. But the delightful fact remains that things are going well up to now. And hopefully they will improve further in the time to come.

Even if I did not thank all of you personally who reacted so kindly to my former reports, I am certainly most grateful for all your kind remarks and suggestions. It is a wonderful feeling that there are so many of you all around the world who care about what happens to me here in Hilversum in the Netherlands. I find this very stimulating. Also whenever I suffer from my depressive periods – and they certainly shall come back again, even when the heart condition will no longer be the primary worry -, I always feel strengthened by the idea that out there in the world someone will enjoy my pictures or my comments. Many, many thanks once again.

Another good thing that has happened in these weeks is the satisfactory settling of the art-theft matter by my German lawyer in Berlin. If ever someone of you needs a good lawyer in this area, I can certainly recommend him.

And now back to enjoying nature’s beauty again. To turn our minds to it and to remind us how much of this beauty can still be found in the forests even in these late autumn weeks, here are some older shots of mine taken in late November or in December of past years. They did not reach the top score of faves of this gallery, but certainly were valued highly by quite a few of you. This too is a permanent reason for gratitude. May it give you pleasure to see them again.

Your gallery is simply breathtaking! After seeing your gallery today, I felt like I truly had to comment. Having spent my childhood surrounded by forests, these photos all bring me immense joy! Thank you so much for sharing them!

Thank you ever so much for your wonderful response. It is this sort of supportive reaction which keeps me going out also on many on those days when I just feel tired or lazy.

Ja, het gaat goed. Ik ben er erg blij mee. Dotteren is toch een heel stuk minder erg dan een bypass-operatie.

Gelukkig maar! Doorgaan zo!! :D
