Hi Anne-Lise, a seven and a fave for this excellent Haiku. Add the picture and the Haiku together and the words do sing even more. Such few words to paint such a massive i,age but you do it so well. Your Haiku always sing to me in some way. Hugs....Vlad. XX

All I can do is second Eileen's comment. I would dearly love to visit the Scandinavian countries and all of Europe...One thing that has always struck me is how ANCIENT everything is there compared to here in America...Well done my friend! - Tim
