This one is dedicated to Michel (Catharina1).

I feel very sad, because my good Dutch comrade and Caedes-friend Michel has terminated all his activities on Caedes, which implies that he has deleted all his images from this site and won't comment and upload in the future anymore.

I've tried several times, without success however, that Michel would change his mind.

I accept and respect what Michel has done because I was well informed by him what has lead to this decision. It's not the proper place here to blame the ones who have treated him in reprehensible way, but I hope that this tactless behavior soon will end, else I fear that Caedes will be gone in the near future.

Michel, I like to say from this place "Thanks" for your sincere friendship and for all the beauty that you've presented us. I'll miss you, your friendship, your great photographic skills, and your 'top notch' photographs. In my honest opinon, your departure is a real loss for this site.

Wish you and yours all the best for the future, dear friend.

Dear Caedes friends, it's a dark, grey day for me in a figurative way. If you have to deal with such a day as well, I really hope that this F² image may bring you still some (artificial) sunshine.

Thanks in advance for your comment.

Cornelius - A beautiful scene and a sad narrative. I hope Mich will choose to return after some time away - his photos and supportive comments have been greatly appreciated. Thad

I am saddened to learn that Michelob has left the site Sea. He is at the top of the list of photographers on this site. He is a fine gentleman and he will be missed.
I have taken a break from Caedes but felt I must tell you how nice the photo and words are for our comrade.

Good health to you and yours.

I feel like I have lost a good friend, too, Mr. C. He was one of the best, and a top notch photographer, as well. I am going to miss him.

This foofy image is sure to brighten anyone's day, and DT. Beautifully done, Sir.

Your tribute and foofy image is wonderful Mr. C. My day has been so sad after learning what happened, and I too have tried to get him to come back, perhaps one of these days he will? I certainly hope so, he was a good friend, with lots of talent, and very well mannered. Tigs♥ =^..^=

You sure brightened my day even though it's now almost 8 p.m. What a lovely floral offering for Friday and a fine dedication to our lost friend. Had he been extended even a little courtesy, he might still be with us. I too shall miss him and his brilliant photography. Definitely a shameful situation.

While Michel wasn't on my list of Caedes friends, I loved his work and enjoyed his comments (at least the ones in English). I heard what happened. Over the years I've seen a number of my Caedes friends disappear and then reappear on other photo sharing sites. When they post the featured images, the shots on the right are from years gone by. I never recognize the names of those posters because they've left Caedes. He will be missed. If the mods disappeared, I don't think anyone would care or even notice. They serve a function but not very well.

Praying for better days for you Sir C. This shot is certainly one to lift the spirits. I am on my winter break from posting here but love to see others works. If a real nice shot presents itself to me I will post it. Take care of you and yours and let your heart be light my good friend.
