Fw: [MC74 and Friends] Pointy but not so pointy

Dear MC, BT and friends,

Thank you sooo much for your creative inspiration throughout the many pics and collages!

Here are my simple contribution for the pointy theme, they are taken on my last trip to Angkor-Siêm Reap, Cambodia last December.

Spring is finally in the air (the snow is melting),   have to hit the slopes as long as the  white stuff is still around 

Have a nice wkend,

TD Caro

Dear BT, MC, TNS, CaroNHoa, PNEHs and friends,

Bravo MC and BT for your dedicated (and contagious) enthusiasm and creative collages... I just realized that I missed the Red & Gold theme when I see your beautiful collage so here are my contributions for the Statue.

Thank you all for  the lovely pics, M-Uyên's nostalgic poem on Giao-Thuà, CaroNHoa's wonderful travellogue from India, TNS serene Buddhas, PChi new year's wise resolution, Uyên's funny 5 chirurgiens ....

Trang, CTT: welcome back!  

CTT made the 1st pic as I missed the exhibit on Kannon in  Geneva.

Cordialement,

TD Caro
