FM4"I am vicariously enjoying your hikes. Lets me sit here with my cup of tea while you toil up and down the hills and take beautiful photos. Thanks!"
"I'm enjoying your writing. You have such a personal voice, strong and warm with a good edge."
"Dein Blog ist zu einem festen Bestandteil meiner online- Lesekultur geworden- du bereicherst jeweils meinen Tag."
"You seem to get around on topics -- as I recall, pretty much everything from local resistance to Nazis to now green roofs. That's what I like about your blog -- if you find it interesting, important, or amusing, you blog about it and your personality, as far as I can tell, really comes through. Great job. — And the pictures are just awesome. "
"Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I enjoy your blog. ... Keep up the good work and hopefully one day when I am back in Innsbruck i can hear you sing."
"Great blog, I really like the way you write about Land und Leute."
