GOOD MORNING! - Papa-pix to start your day

Sihaya's new contributions to the Cardinal photo archives include some large-format versions of pictures we have seen before.

But this one I have not seen before-

Cover picture for a book in Italian entitled "Ratzinger is a Protestant" (how's that for intrigue?)









And this one, from Paparaxvi, is probably close to what Papa would look like in civvies now -

to the video clip Beatrice has posted in the French section from the tailend KTO telecast of yesterday's festivities
at the Vatican, which shows Papa walking his inimitably elegant walk, one of his most engaging and characteristic traits...

Ratzigirl has three heart-stoppers for us today. The first one is from the mexicosiemprefiel site - so if someone can please post it on to ImageShack or photobucket to preserve the link and then re-post it! Maybe Simone, if she can get over the 'Regensburg effect' which the first photo wll most definitely have on her!



The next is from one of Paparaxvi's video-caps on June 29-


And lastly, another Spaziani specialty -


WHAT A GOOOOOOOD MORNING!

More Spaziani from Ratzigirl.
Those eyes...the warmth...the joy...the beauty...



And how's this for a chuckle?
Beautiful cardinal, monstrous glasses!

Paparatzifan found this picture from a Polish magazine site -


And Ratzigirl came up with another couple of Spazianis -

Mmmm, maybe I should skip breakfast from now on. :

Thanks for the welcomes Theresa & Nan!

Here are some scans from a magazine I own.

Girls - this thread really should carry a government health warning!!!! I've just logged in and....KERPOW!...those pics of our Papa as cardinal and now.....We are having unusually hot weather here in the UK. It's over 90 degrees F at Wimbledon and , well, I'd say it's now gone up to about 100 F in my computer room!!!!!!
Ellen - it worked!!!! Nice avatar!!!! hey hey hey!!!!
Love to all, Mary xxxx

Yep, Ellen, great avatar, and great fotos too - you are definitely going to be a treasure round here!!! Welcome!!

What great photos! I think I have about 7 or 8 favorites on this page alone. Just when I think there is no way Papa can look any more spectacular than he already does, somebody posts another WOW photo of him that nearly knocks me off my chair. What a miracle man!

Welcome, Ellen. Hope you enjoy our fanatical group.

I know what you mean benefan... I just got tired of falling off my chair and onto the floor so I now have extra soft pillows surrounding my chair and at times I've just sat on the floor with my lap top... it's just safer that way somedays!!! You are right... just when I think he's looked as good as he possibly can WHAM he surprises me with another devistatingly handsome photo!

The Spaziani-photos are really special - they seem to get out the most beautiful side of Joseph.

Again, thanks for all the welcomes!

How about some stamps for breakfast?

La voici en sécurité, et en grand format, en cliquant sur la vignette.

MERCI BIEN, BEA!

And thanks to you, Ellen, for those stamps! We really should keep track of these, as well as coins issued with our Papa's image!

A GOOD MORNING TREAT from Sylvie, who captured these wonderful 'stills'
from the 1998 interview video found in the contenidosemf site:
