Don't know how this will work.it's really a photo of the mosaic at the city end of Funchal pier. But if I don't get it up now, I won't get a chance to wish you a Happy New 2005 because it will soon be 2006! (What's that, my photos are dated?, Of course!!)

May I wish you all - believers and non-believers alike - a very joyous and blessed Christmas!

The composition is not really mine, it was the Christmas scene in the centre of Funchal - all I did was to have the patience for the sun to move round to the right place, and thus illuminate the Son. Then I merely pressed the shutter!
