It\'s been a while, but I didn\'t go far, just over to the gear threads, though popping back in here for a quick jealous look now and again ! I\'ve also been busy with planning and making bird-watching trips, caring for my wife (who slipped 3 discs - she\'s good now !) and work, together with trying to get used to a new camera and lenses (Sony A7) though not for my birding of course
Anyway thought I\'d post some shots from my recent trip to Inner Mongolia where the daily temperatures varied from -30C down to -50C one late afternoon when we were caught out on the Steppes in a rising blizzard - I really enjoyed the thrill of it all and am no longer a warm weather junkie !
This might be a photo heavy thread so please give me time to post them all (I guess about 20-25) !
The first 10 or so (sorry, I haven\'t it seems always uploaded the hi-res versions to Smugmug !) :
