The Sun: a female word...

[Ingemar Nordgren]

Hi again, Ernesto,

I have tried to add some photos but on this list nothing seems to work
- not with photos and specially not files. Those pics - peacocks and
trees of life, sun, moon- however are now on the photosection of
Germanic list in the album 'Visigodos'. Have a look.

Best
Ingemar
