To this I would like to add my thanks for your excellent guiding of our Group of Eight. This helped me a lot in organizing my blog writing. <br /><br />As to your question: my father was a baker in a small village on the East-Austrian countryside and I was actually the first from that village that got a higher education (except the Lord of the Manor, of course).

Before I have just looked at your amazingly beautiful pictures, and I really liked your writing. It tells a lot of interesting parts from the long story of how the scenic geology in south west US has been formed, but in a story together with your own experience from your first visit there and your thoughts about it. <br />My first geology compendium when studying at Chalmers started with a chapter, or maybe two, written by Gunnar Beskow, professor in Geology and son to the great Swedish author Elsa Beskow. He also had the great ability to express the story about Swedish geology in a way that inspired us students to dig further in this subject. Have you ancestors being authors as well, Emil?<br />Ingemar JohanssonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580235396057730171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-33320869186591984972013-11-06T15:18:47.235+01:002013-11-06T15:18:47.235+01:00Dear Hans Christian,

Thanks for this wonderful trip through s...Dear Emil<br />Thanks for this wonderful trip through space and time.<br />Couldn’t help being somewhat surprised at your question how many people can still believe that the Earth was created only 5,000 years ago. My experience is that religious believers by definition believe in concepts completely irreconcilable with generally accepted scientific findings. That’s what makes their beliefs religious. <br />Incidentally, I just read a note about the Christian Scientists who say they have no need for Obamacare, as they believe that prayers provide a better form of health care. Thus, they don’t need doctors and hospitals, neither do they wish to rely on the virtues of medical science. While refuting science they call themselves scientists! You see, in the realm of religious beliefs, anything is possible.<br />Hans ChristianHChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081045957428735389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-66258024713574064452013-11-05T21:32:27.477+01:002013-11-05T21:32:27.477+01:00Wieder sehr beeindruckende Fotos und anschauliche ...Wieder sehr beeindruckende Fotos und anschauliche Erklärungen, Danke<br />ChristophAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-55384228692825672632013-11-05T21:13:19.753+01:002013-11-05T21:13:19.753+01:00Let's meet there, Jerry and have another go at...Let's meet there, Jerry and have another go at it, wouldn't that be fun? ;-)<br /><br />Awaiting your response,<br />EmilEmil Emshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815643585218883358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-73584691395687379492013-11-05T17:14:03.494+01:002013-11-05T17:14:03.494+01:00Hi.
