Dear Peter & Jackie,
Thank you so much for sharing your photos. I was in the middle of writing an academic essay on crystal healing when I remembered the profound experience at the top of Roraima in the crystal pools with the little frogs. I would like to use your photos in a blog which shall appear in the appendix of the academic essay which attempts to bring a connection with quantum physics and energies within nature.
Love and Light, Neena

Nice pictures. I came back from Roraima less than a week ago and by odd coincidence even stayed at the same "hotel" at the top (Hotel "India", it's called - it's quite fresh in my mind and the details in these pictures match exactly).

Your pictures are better than mine though, we got rained on a lot. Still a great trip though!

Hello Peter and Jackie,
I am very impressed with your Pictures and your, Use of the Pictures, Policy. I am going to include 4 - 6 of your Pictures on my new, Sammy Bond - Windows Live to add to my own Grand Sabana Pictures. I Have Copyrighted my own Pictures, but Your Policy has convinced me that beautifull Pictures should not have Copy Rights and I am going to start removing Copy Rights.
Thanks, Thanks,Tanks,
Sammy Bond

Thank you for wonderful pictures. I became curious after watching a TV program here in Sweden a few days ago.

HI
I watched the real lost world.. I wish I could have been there. It was magnificent.
I live in Denmark and I have never seen anything like , what you have seen.
It is really excellent to watch the pictures. Are you planning to make another TRIP ??
Hope you find something new /old "stuff".

I did Roraima last month. It was amazing. River crossings were great. Who was your guide?

Still a bit whoozy from the "sheer drop and Peter's boots"...
Being a lover of plants, rocks and all things weird, this place has just been added to my list of dreams. Surreal!
