Kobe, Christmas 2007

Eheheheheee

That's a smile you hear spreading across my face. Great idea Jack.

Great innovative capture jack

What a clever work. Very well seen :-).... and red umbrella.

Funny. Nice one Jack!  

A lesson in both humor and selective color . . . It's a good thing for the guy in the foreground that he has the protection of the umbrella against large volumes of reindeer droppings.

It's good to see that Santa has the status of traffic priority ....after all you need a long runway when you've eaten that many mince pies!  Loved Michaels comment too : - )

Funny, and actually an interesting image too.

:--)

I think only you would catch this one!

Very creative and appropriate for this time of the year. Wonderful work!

the charming streets of Kobe... so lovely and gay!

Wow! You managed to capture Santa on his track... and that protection for falling presents. Sorta fairy tale pic. Lovely.

Whew, that's a host of people I've forgotten to thanks until now. This one is from my old files which I've been ruthlessly pruning with my samurai sword for the past couple of weeks. Every once in a while there's a picture that escapes the wrath of my blade. Thanks for taking the time to comment on this survivor. And finally:

"He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle

,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle

.

But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,

'Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!' "

I really wish I could rate this, Jack. What I am afaid of, though, is that you may get a visit from the Secret Service, who might want to confiscate this obvious proof of Santa's existence.
