And he’s a gnome." perhaps should edited to read "And he’s made of metal. And he’s a gnome."? Your images revel thay have polished shiny surfaces and verdigris oxide layers that point to thembeing made of metal (bronze/brass?).<br />Hopefully I'll get to meet them and shake their little hands one day!<br /><br />Cheers - Paul Paul Dielemanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433401725627812599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703729428040928332.post-58551088118016987982020-02-28T11:22:38.319+11:002020-02-28T11:22:38.319+11:00Nice!

I'm curious (and will explore your blog more, maybe you've already answered it) how much pre-research you do for these trips (how many article concepts you have before you set foot on the ground) versus the ones you stumbled upon while you were there/came to you later--sometimes years later. As a travel writer myself, I'm still working on getting as much mileage as possible out of each trip.Colleen Stinchcombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654202026505827663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703729428040928332.post-58145464936432722002020-01-17T20:15:46.905+11:002020-01-17T20:15:46.905+11:00Hi Tim
