January 4 – 10, 2009
I realized this week that Charlie, our Bernese Mountain Dog, has been pretty neglected Weekly Winners-wise, so this week, he’s the star of the show. I also recently bought three photography books. I haven’t read them all the way though, but I skimmed the parts on framing pictures. Rainer says he liked my photos better before I started putting the theory to practice, but I’m not ready to give up yet.

Finally, I know many of my Weekly Winners visitors aren’t daily visitors, so I thought I’d let you in on some of my big news. This blog is a finalist in the 2008 Weblog Awards for Best European Blog (non UK). Voting is taking place this week and ends on Tuesday (10pm GMT, 5pm EST, 2pm PST). If you enjoy my pictures, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few seconds to head over and cast a vote for me — or one of my competitors if you wish 
Right now I’m in third, and don’t expect to get any higher than that. But I think it would be a great honor to finish third (hey, third best blog in Europe is pretty awesome!) and in order to do that, you guys gotta keep voting!

I voted, because you deserve it!!Your pictures are great again this week, that cabin and the logs, but my favourites are the ones of the dog and the boy, and I am madly in love with the next to last one.
The boy a little bit more on the background and focus on the dog.. Great job!

Beautiful set! The second last one is my fave…I love the way it’s composed, so focusing on your framing works for me…lol. Looking at how cold it is for you is surreal for me…we are running around in bright January summer sun here.

@Swenglishexpat: Because he’s a Berner Sennenhund, not a Bernhardiner
Love the photographs. They have a very nostalgic feel to them along with a seasonal outdoors feeling
