The second one, showing trees silhouetted against that beautiful sky, would make an excellent oil painting. <br /><br />More pictures of the Hermitage! And just as breathtaking as the others you posted. I'll bet they don't even begin to do justice to how it must be to see it in person, though.<br /><br />I couldn't walk on that "walkable art," either. <br /><br />Happy weekend!<br /><br />Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-29196319886345202352015-11-06T23:18:54.692+11:002015-11-06T23:18:54.692+11:00Hi EC - we do learn so much don't we about pla...Hi EC - we do learn so much don't we about places, problems, etc - interesting facts and see the other side of the world and look at life through our blogging eyes ...

I do hope he got to see Van Gogh's skeleton with a cigarette .. but seeing Starry Starry Night and The Scream by Munsch .. must be amazing.<br /><br />The Hermitage looks quite extraordinary ... I'd love to go one day. As Andrew says .. he certainly is having a wonderful time. It's good having you at home to let us see some of his photos and travels ... <br /><br />I love seeing the birds and flowers around your part of the world ... they cheer me up ... and sometimes remind me of South Africa ... stunning photos all round - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-59543216594335255162015-11-05T13:38:21.406+11:002015-11-05T13:38:21.406+11:00Sandra Cox: My guess (and that is all it is) is t...Sandra Cox: My guess (and that is all it is) is that it is very old.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-75539393403710084012015-11-05T13:37:43.965+11:002015-11-05T13:37:43.965+11:00Andrew R.
