Good Morning Gloucester 
What a lovely slideshow.
I have always loved Van Gogh. Twenty five years ago Barbara and I spent several days in Arles and I photographed many of the sites memorialized in his paintings. A print of his “The Siesta” hangs above our bed. A Starry Night blows my mind and Don McLean’s recording moves me to tears. The more I read about his life of anguish (the latest being VAN GOGH THE LIFE by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith), the more I appreciate his work.
Thanks for reminding us of his greatness.
