Ratings and reviews

Besides praise for what is obviously a very fine work, painstakingly concocted, I would like to express my gratitude. Many of us would never visit most of these places, nor have the patience or skill to capture such beautiful images. With the current rate of degradation, perhaps these vignettes will be all we have left one day. Thank you, Sunil and Vani
