It was our wedding anniversary. I suggested Paris. She wanted Prague...
Who was I to say ' no'.
Thank you Ayesha for sticking with me.
...Matt: "Rachel" is another notch on the 200-400 handle (or is it barrel?). Cool framing!
Holy Man!! Looks like a lot to review. Hopefully later today. In the mean time, although I took these with my Droid, it was quite a sight to behold.
President Obama is coming back to Chicago, so the Secret Service, CFD, CPD and other federal security agencies were doing a practice run landing in a parking lot in downtown Chicago. The rotors were about 15' from the lightposts. Amazing stuff!!
I am used to this:

All, thanks for your kind comments. Great photos posted here!! :thumbs:Along the Cabot Trial...Nova Scotia:
[/CENTER] Thanks for looking.
Corlan: Great crossroads. +1 for Jorgen and Lloyd's comments. What's the significance of the small monument? Napoleon turn left!
Woody: +1, nice photo. The OOf profile is pretty subtle. Cheers, MattWoody, Nice Selective Focus & Always Sharp IQ With The 50 1.4!
Corlan: Thanks. Still experimenting. I didn't want to mention the Germans. That crossroads has probably seen French, Spanish, Dutch, English, German, and American troops marching though, all more then once. That's an unlucky "Musketier". No big battles around then, and the war only has 10 more months to go. Nice photo. Cheers, Matt.Matt, just saw your flowers posted above while i was writing this. They're terrific.
Particularly like the second and third one, for color, light, and the smooth transitions.

n fact, it was more the german army making the left turn heading northwest torwards Paris. A couple of times...
Lot of war cemeteries in the area, mostly German. Some previous work in my GetDPI gallery here, with the D700/ZF21 : http://forum.getdpi.com/gallery/browseimages.php?c=164&userid= ("WWI German Cemetery" sub-folder) ... Here's a more recent one with the D3X (sorry again for the large size... well i'd rather destroy only one thread page's layout at the time ):
(it's my personal favorite from the new series (light was promising but had to wait a couple of jours to get exactly this exact angle)... i'll post some more at regular jpeg size in the gallery later on, for those interested)
Steve: Thanks.I Can Smell The Ocean From Here My Friend! So Beautifully Shot!
Corian: Thank you. It was very dull most of our trip. Not cold but depressingWhat a nice thing to say (and to read, too). Thanks Jorgen. And thanks Lloyd, Steve, Rayyan.
Rayyan, your Cabot Trail looks like a -timeless- postcard from the second part of the 20th century. Nice!
Matt: Appreciated. Still in the planning stage. Should we drive? what camera/s to carry? Lots of planning.All, thanks for your kind comments. Great photos posted here!! :thumbs:
Jason: Shouldn't that be on the "Droid" board?
Rayyan: Awesome portrait and zodiac look-a-like. The desert's beautiful! Have fun in Jordan and happy aniversary (whenever it was).
Corlan: Great crossroads. +1 for Jorgen and Lloyd's comments. What's the significance of the small monument? Napoleon turn left!
Cheers, Matt

Yes indeed. Gorgeous.Excellent IQ On The Siggy Macro! Beautiful Grabs!
Love Ayesha's adventurous spirit. (Which apparently matches your own!)Due to the weather, we tried this:
Ayesha also tried this from 14000 feet..
We were waiting for clearer weather for this:
Looked clearer in the morning..
We were in Switzerland.
Beautiful b/w image, and yet sobering at the same time.(the "small monument" is simply an old roadside crucifix, the upper -significant- part having obviously been replaced more recently than its older, solid stone basis counterpart)

Very interesting info, Osman. And beautiful shots. I've had similar experiences in places I've been. I finally stopped trying to find an explanation. By the way, which 50/1.4 is this? Is it the new one?A few shots from Asklepion, the world's first psychiatric hospital built in honor of Asklepios, the god of healing. Patients included Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Caracalla. This site competes with the Acropolis in terms of historical importance in Pergamon. I distinctly remember feeling very good when I was there; the non-nonsense guy in me strived to find a scientific reason for this in vain.
D700 and Nikkor 50/1.4
Best,
Osman
