Came across these two cute fellas on a walk along the fjord. I'm told that originally they couldn't stand each other and had to be separated, but then both got depressed. So, they were put in the same pen again and now they are best friends.

Me too, very nice.
China much be heaven for photography. I'd love to go there some day.
canerino, I enjoy your family photographs too!
It's got its ups and downs. There's no way you won't be gawked at unless you're of Asian descent which makes blending in(a must for good street photography) almost impossible. That and the rapid destruction of all things old make it a bit depressing, but on the other hand, no one gives a damn if you take their photo which is awesome.

Thanks for the info phatnev! Yes, I have heard about the destruction of old habitats and how it escalated before the Olympics. What a shame.
We went on a weekend trip out to the coast and it was lovely. I didn't use RX1 much, but here's a view from the road home. It's the Trondheim fjord with the city just outside the frame in the background:

Helena, looks you got some nice sunny weather there!
Only on the way there and back, unfortunately. Out by the coast it was cloudy and even rained some, but we had a nice time anyway (it is a beautiful area) and was great for photography, so I didn't mind.
The drive back to town along the fjord was almost ridiculously idyllic, like a tourist ad or something. The fjord looked like a sea of diamonds, farmers were out on their tractors, cows and sheep grazing among buttercups and the pretty little farms were framed by lilacs.

Wow, sounds beautiful there.
Here in California we are in our third year of extreme drought with nothing but blue sky and sunshine which is boring for landscape photography. Our fields are so brown and dry now, creeks are dry, wild flowers long gone, and we are bracing for a long bad summer wildfire season which we can only hope doesn't destroy too much of our natural forest areas and national park areas.
Yosemite falls were nowhere near normal due to low snowpack, and will probably dry up very early this summer.
Oh well, I need to catch up on processing a large backload of images over the last couple of years and I think this is the time to do that and plan some out of state photo trips.

I agree, a lot of China is pretty depressing. The temples are almost always a total letdown compared to those of Korea and Japan. The pollution here is absolutely horrific. My wife and kids have spent 6-8 days housebound at a time (several times this year alone), unable to leave the house due to insane pollution levels. Just as often I have to cancel my weekend photo walks due to massive air pollution in Shanghai. The place is just filthy beyond words.
Some times gems rise out of this mess, but I find that happening far less frequently than they used to compared to 10 or more years ago.

Thank you for another nice image: the recipe is something to shoot, the photographer handling the situation and the RX1 with its unique Sonnar 35/2 wide open - and how well it all works together.

a four day short trip to cover Zion, Bryce and Vegas, I brought M9, NEX7, RX1, A7,(I was trying to figure out what is my need for trip like this) took maybe 800~1000 images, again RX1 took more than half of total images, which statistically match my last China trip. This is best camera for me. Haven't even load all the images to computer yet.
Here is one from Zion. I only spend 1.5 day there which is not enough IMO, I should allocate more time here than Bryce. but you only know things after you experience it. the same with camera/tool. I will try to be there again this year. This is definitely the best NP I ever visited even I missed Narrow this time.
BTW, I was stand on the Garbage can and reach my arm all the way to the top using AF to get this shot. Now you know why I love this camera. At Angel's landing, some shot I have to use my hand holding steel chain at cliff and reach my arm all the way out to get the shot. Good luck with Leica or D800 with 14-24mm Haha.
