Werner and Ole - I missed your posts when adding mine, I love them both.
Ole - our one partial day in the Lofoten Islands in 2010 was simply insufficient, however perfectly sufficient in generating a wish to return some day if possible. Your images are greatly magnifying that wish to return!
We went Italy for family vacation and come back last week. What a beautiful Country.

Nah, My wife carry it for me.
Kidding
I only take it out during night when they were sleep so I can have my own time. I sleep maybe 4 hour for a few days in Venice and Cinque Terre. I wouldn't complain that though
For this trip, I brought RX1, 21SEM, 50lux and 90 Elar(1960ish) and A small Mephoto tripod. It seems I made a right choice for my lens selection.
Beautiful work Zhangyue! I wish I had the patience to carry a tripod, or that my wife would accept to carry it for me In fact she would, but that would cost me a Chanel handbag
Ole: Thx's as well.
I am a title maniac... had lot's of discussions with other photographers about that and opinions about giving titles are divided but i can't stop it....

Allen - that first one is interesting!
One from a few years back....
Edit - did a second crop. Which one do you prefer? PS - sharpening looks a bit aggressive - will fix.
I like the first one, Gary. It's more varied with more characters.
Gary, the first one hands down. It is great photo on its own with the different combination of people and how they interact (or doesn't) mirrored by the statue.
In the second you loose the dynamics of the first and also the composition is a little to static.
'Moon Rise Over Salisbury'....
Took this shot the other night from the Salisbury, MA side of the Merrimack River opposite Newburyport, MA. I was focusing on the sunset over Newburyport but the light behind me (this scene) was really nice so....here it is!

'Pink Moonset Over Pentucket Pond'....
taken today April 11, 2017 at 6am. Forecast to approach 80 deg and the water's still and fish are jumping. Great start to a new day here in eastern Massachusetts!

More Lofoten, this time from the hike between Haukland and Utakleiv beach. The mountain behind is Storsandnestinden, which lies just behind Storsandnes beach, which is highly worth a visit.
