Take My hand, and let Me lead You over the river.

Let Me guide You over the narrow bridge..

Let Me show You the beauty wich rests on the other side.

That beauty, my sweet dad , is Your True Self

"If tears could build a stair, and memories a bridge,

then I climd up high, to bring you back to me..."

Sounds of Silence....Silence......... like a cancer grows

These are a wonderful tribute to your dad. So calm and soothing. You have literally "sculpted with light". Beautifully done.

Don Marlow 22-Mar-2009 17:50
The lighting in your images is exceptional. Im guessing the area you are in and the time of day simplifies the situation but you still have to compose and expose for each image. The images really go well with your opening poem and the gallery in general is wonderful, to many images to click on as they are all well done.. great work

I think it's fair to say you've captured the imagination of everybody that's viewed this gallery. a magnificent tribute to your father. I'm sure he was a wonderful man and this is a fitting tribute.not only have you done your father proud, yourself to.I could've left comments on every photo. in some cases photo is the wrong word "work of art" "if motor racing was easy" quoted Allen prost the same can be attributed to photography.you have a great talent. and I salut you.

Pleasant it was, when woods were green
And winds were soft and low,
To lie amid some sylvan scene,
Where, the long drooping boughs between,
Shadows dark and sunlight sheen
Alternate come and go;
Your pictures are a absolute power of tribute to your Dad. I could paste my entire house in your photos and loose myself for ever.

Guest 24-Apr-2006 08:31
I am not writing as a photographer but as a father of two daughters and the son a wonderful father who passed away. I wish and hope that my daughters will remember me thus when my path will be at its end. There is no greater accomplishment that a father can achieve and no greater wish that a father can have than to be remembered and more important understood.

Thank you for showing a father that this can be achieved.

Warm regards.

Guest 19-Apr-2006 02:54

Can e'er hereafter hide from me
Thy radiant identity!
Thou canst not move across the grass
But my quick eyes will see Thee pass,
Nor speak, however silently,
But my hushed voice will answer Thee.
I know the path that tells Thy way
Through the cool eve of every day;
God, I can push the grass apart
And lay my finger on Thy heart!

The words above are from Edna St. Vincent Millay. The sentiments are mine. Thank you for the marvelous pictures.

You have been lucky to have Dad, to whom you can write like that and give that kind of photos!

The Nature and the forest have allways been something special to me, like therapy. When I have had sorrow, difficulties, I have gone to forest and by and by I have begun to see around me. Light and shade and the combination of those... I have seen that beauty, but I never could take/made photos like you! Thank you for that beayty :)

Guest 09-Dec-2005 07:33
Wonderful tribute! Your images seem to reflect the wonderful bond that must exist between your father and yourself. A wonderful and peaceful bond that is not broken by time or place.

Craig from Utah 07-Dec-2005 00:41
Monique, I found your work inspiring when I first found it over a year ago. I come back today after losing my wife of 26 years and find new, sacred meaning in them. Thank you again.

Dear Monique,

Your photos have brought tears to my eyes; seldom if ever have images moved me the way your fantastic work has. You are not only an incredibly talented photographer but, most importantly, a precious human being. Your husband and daughter are lucky to have you --as is the world, for more like you is what this world sorely needs.

God bless you,

Marcos Rodriguez / www.aukeramen.com

Monique, enkele dagen geleden bij het zien van dit album en An Angel in Wonderland kwamen al mijn emoties naar boven. De tranen kon ik moeilijk bedwingen. Dit album heeft me diep geraakt, de muziek, het verlies van je vader, je mooie dochter. Het heeft me ook tot denken gezet, ik heb gisteren een diep gesprek gehad met mijn vader, bedankt Monique

Gadisa 10-Sep-2005 13:18
Na het luisteren en bekijken van deze gallery wilde ik stilletjes verdwijnen ... ik ben zeer onder de indruk en durfde eigenlijk niet zo goed een berichtje achter te laten ... gewoon omdat dit zo'n persoonlijke gallery is ... tot ik naar beneden scrollde en zag dat er al vele voor mij waren geweest ... en dus schrijf ik mijn tekstje hier neer.

Het is echt prachtig ... een mooie ode aan een belangrijk man in je leven ...

Ray :) 06-Sep-2005 21:54
I once drove past Lommel and didn't pay a second glance. There is some hidden treasure there when the sun comes out to dance. Your dad had a Very talented daughter.

My name, our fathers, the beauty of these photos. I feel I was brought to this site as a beginning to the healing process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Guest 25-Nov-2004 15:41
Monique I have to second what the other person said. I have looked at allot of photos admired allot of photographers and have to say that yourself, Matthew Reilley & Shelia Smart are by far the most talented photographers I have seen. You all possess an insight and a talent that few people have and I have been doing photography for 30 + years. I love your tribut to your Dad, it was special and have to ask how do you find time to photograph all you do. How do you get the sharpness you do from your equiptment. I have to go back to the drawing board.

Die hield veel van de natuur en maakte in zijn vrije tijd veel natuurfoto's.
Voor zijn werk was hij reclamefotograaf.

Kon onze vader dit maar zien. Zij zouden trots zijn.

Ga zo door met foto's maken Monique.... ik geniet er enorm van!!

i hear george winston's piano.
excellent gallery

Marilu Bishop 08-Oct-2004 05:35
Wondering how you are, Monique. I know this gallery is a comfort to your Dad, who worries about you daily, and hopes that you are beginning to slowly heal. He knows it's going to take a very long time. But he also knows you are a strong woman with the comfort and love of your husband and daughter. He must be so proud of your abilities, and of your beautiful tribute, and I know that this comforts him, knowing you spend so much time creating beautiful examples of your love for him. I still think about you. Take good care.

Guest 30-Sep-2004 18:30
magificent... the pictures look so dreamy that i was so absorbed into it.

"Show me, O Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it. But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." Psalm 39:4-7

Beautiful tribute to your father, Monique -- you honor him!
God Bless,
Greg

Is this what they call beauty,is this what they call divine? Its become my place of refuge from now on! Reminds me of my childhood and the woods and leaves around our government bunglow, so thick and content with the early morning showers!!Masterpiece!

Guest 17-Aug-2004 03:40
I do believe these are some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen.
Beligum is just the right place to find such beauty. Wonderful tribute
to your father.

Guest 13-Aug-2004 21:32
What a lovely memorial you've created-- one of beauty and tranquillity, and a sense of being one with the earth instead of being merely on it. You have my sympathies on the loss of your father-- I've been down that road myself, and can promise you that it WILL get better. In time, what you'll remember is the love, and not the loss.

Best wishes,

Monique.

I feel my words are insufficient to describe your amazing work, you have beautifully captured the emotion, a nice tribute to your father. My father passed away few months ago and I'm touched and very much inspired to see your pictures and planning to do something similar.

Good job! Keep it up.

Guest 05-Aug-2004 03:23
I am moved by these... I am usually obsessed with portrait work but this has opened my eyes to other possibilites. Such beauty here, so beautiful.

Excellent, excellent...

tglass 05-Aug-2004 02:24
A beautiful tribute to your father. Many of your images show a path, and are beautiful from a photographic standpoint, but they also have an etherial quality to them that makes me reflect on "the path" that my father has also taken. I can only hope that, like in your images, there is a Divine light that guides the way.

Guest 31-Jul-2004 20:36
Congratulations.
These woods look full of mystery and yet cozy and amusing to the eyes.
You make me feel like getting lost in them. I especially liked the one with the small bridge.
Your dad must be proud of you.

Terry 31-Jul-2004 02:18
Awe inspiring, absolutely beautiful! Some of the most amazing photos I've seen in a long time. A stunning tribute to your father.

My dad never wanted me...so this is very moving. I can't fathom having such love for ones father. Aside from that...these are some of the most breathtaking images I've seen.

Deepak 28-Jul-2004 11:56

Hello, I find all of your galleries, but particularly this one, simply breathtaking, like a shock to one's system. I simply did not know scenes like these existed in nature. I would like to place a order, possibly on real canvas, of one of your photograph. Please let me know if I can place an order, thank you in advance.
Best Regards, and thank you for sharing. Richard

Scott, thank you so much!
The location, Belgium, name of the city is Lommel.
All pictures are digital (Canon 10D and Canon D30)
From wich picture do you want the exif? I will mail this to you, please let me know by mail.
Thnks, Monique

Naturephoto Monique 18-Dec-2003 16:20
Hi Linda, you have mail, thanks for the nice comments!
Monique

Scott DiVincenzo 18-Dec-2003 07:03
AMAZING - where is this location? Film or digital? What settings?

Linda 17-Dec-2003 21:52
These are the most breathtaking photographs I have ever seen. After a stressful day, I "visit" your hometown often at this website for peace and serenity. Are you a professional photographer? Do you sell your photographs?
I would be most interested in putting some of your photographs in my home so I'd always have a little "piece of peace" and a slice of heaven on Earth. So, contact me if your work is ever for sell. If not, I will simply continue visiting this blessed, peaceful place. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hometown with us. Thank you, Monique.

AE 17-Dec-2003 03:07

Naturephoto Monique 15-Dec-2003 18:41
Hi Alf,

I will not let you die stupid ;)
These images are taken in my hometown, Lommel Belgium.
About the permission given by me... i am a member from SOFAM, this means, when one from my images will be published without my written permission,i'm protected by them...i am the copyrightholder. As long as my images will be used as personal wallpaper its ok, but when someone will be getting proffit out one of my pictures this is another story :)
I wish you a very very long life !
Best Regards,
Monique

Alf from Schwetzingen 15-Dec-2003 18:04
All of your pictures are very good, some are really excellent (in my humble opinion). But, please, don't let me die stupid and answer me two questions:
- Where is this beautiful scenery (or is it "landscape"?), where you took them photos?
- What do you mean by "...and are not to be downloaded unless permission is given by the owner."? In the very moment one sees them on his/her monitor, they *ARE* downloaded!

With the best wishes for your future work

Alf

Een ding is zeker doe verder en je bereikt de top.
Heb er altijd zelf een passie voor gehad,maar jammer genoeg ,no time.

Monique,

Looks like we are off for better shooting once we're alone. Very familiar place to me this must be, only I don't think I am such an early riser to try this myself. I love what you did with the contrast; it's a very powerful silence and the music was more than appropriate :)
