Thanks for your comment on my blog concerning the $1 and $2 coins here in Canada.
Did you know that on the corner of our Canadian bills we have braille so that the blind can tell the denomination of each bill.
Wonderful idea!
Bear((( )))

Whoops, sorry Gerald. I thought it was a bridge. I should have read your copy a little more closely. It's hard to read every word when there are so many wonderful photographs to comment on around the world. I love your photo andnow I know it's a walled footpath. Learned something - didn't know such a thing existed.
I'm not sure this was the one I voted for but it's still a good choice...and a lovely bridge.
Happy New Year.
I really like this photo because it seems to go on forever. I love photos like these. A good choice.
Have a Happy New Year!
It had to be this one. So glad most agreed. Happy New Year

Great wintery colours. Happy New Year!

I remember voting for this one, Gerald. I'm glad you saw my logic! Have a Happy New Year!
I remember this and loved it then....Happy New Year Gerald.....to you and your loved ones....
Excellent choice. (I looked it in color & like that very much too - with the green moss? on the rocks of the bridge.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy 2009! Perhaps you'll make it back So Cal way this year.
This is one of those photos that makes you want to write a short story about it. great atmosphere.
I love a photo that makes me want to skip right into it. Thanks for all you contribute to the CDPB community. Blessings for a healthy and fulfilling new year.
Congratulations on the 1000 posts mark.
Any particular reason why they wall the path?
I'm not surprised at all that it won Gerald. It just was THE best and I voted for it too.
Fantastic photo - congratulations. The path makes you wonder where it leads to ....
Beautiful and evocative -- I should like it, because I voted for it!
I want to second Jill in thanking you for all you do for city daily photo blogging, Gerald. It is very much appreciated by this newcomer. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Happy belated new years!
A worthy winner!
(Maybe because I voted for it, or is my memory failing, again?)
