My dear friends, Panoramio has been the place for my photos since 05.July 2007. I am sad it's getting closed, but also grateful for the time we all spent together. As everything has an end, this also happens to our beloved Panoramio. We met here, enjoying Panoramio together by the mutual passion for photos. Roaming about with the camera, we discovered many delightful subjects and we were happy to upload those photos into our growing galleries. The most beautiful thing about Panoramio, however, was to meet people, get friends and see sceneries from so many parts of our planet.

Many countries, areas of which little or nothing was known, became familiar to us, many of us added valuable descriptions to the photos out of personal experiences, which can not be found in Wikipedia. Thank you very much, my Pano friends, for all the personal words to my photos and my special thanks for your beautiful and informative photos, which I have been adding into my favorites. I hope Google will let us visit Panoramio for more than a year.

I loved the way we met, without boundaries of origin, gender, age, nationality or religion. If we didn't know before, we recognized here how close we are as human beings, how beautiful our nature is if we don't spoil it, how people live in other countries. No matter where we live, we must be concerned about preserving these values ​​and we should try to keep our world in balance, so that future Generations can experience these beauties as well.

I wish you all the best and I am sure we will be enjoying the colours and using the light for many more photos in the future! :-)

Yours May Margrit
