Great photos — and you really did capture the texture and the culture. That’s why I nominated you:

Thanks!
This is a nice feaure to have the “carrousel” for images in one post. I especially love the textiles, and of course the views from your graden.
That carrousel is a really nice new feature of this WordPress theme.
No words needed! AWESOME!!!
