I am sorry that your Swedish fan turns out not to be Swedish, but you can't have everything. I would like to take credit for your hit rate increase, but I suspect I only deserve a cousin of a credit: wood_s lot (see the sidebar) picked up on my picking up, and he reaches an order of magnitude more eyeballs. Before the hubris gets too inflated, I should say I am reminded of the story of the history professor I once met who was proud to have found a way to double attendance at his lectures. The student was served a glass of sherry, and the following week brought a friend. Thanks for your comment on my work. Goethe is interesting for being wrong and right at the same time. He also writes quite well :-) I enjoy your photography, and your writing, and look forward to more of both. Hi Mike, and welcome.

I was even more taken aback when I googled up the two sites that seemed to account for the traffic, and found your generous words on my work. Suddenly it all made sense... The identity of my Swedish fan is revealed. Thank you -- it's much appreciated. I'm struck by your work, too (I particularly like the set "Gaels") and your interests (curiously, my friend the photographer David Gepp also has an interest in Goethe's colour theory) -- I think we probably have some very similar interior wiring. I look forward to visiting your blog and site regularly in future. Best wishes, Mike Hi Struan,

Suddenly it all made sense… The identity of my Swedish fan is revealed. Thank you — it’s much appreciated.
