Not the normal thing for here but maybe some will like these..
Had an absolutely amazing time last night, got a call at 6pm that my Sami reindeer herding friends had rushed to the mountains where their reindeer are for the summer, the calves are old enough to mark them with their owners marks before they leave their mothers and it's impossible to know who they belong too. I grabbed the camera, drove 3 hours in to the middle of nowhere, walked 4km up a mountain at midnight and at 1am they started the work, around 6 families old and young, grandparents and kids all working together, using a traditional type of lasso which was amazing to see. Finished at 5am and walked back down the mountain and drove home, completely knackered!
Truly amazing experience and fantastic to be invited, the marking is done traditionally with a knife, each family has its own mark which is cut in to the ear.
Anyway, a couple of random shots, truly challenging light, doesn't get dark really but at 2am the sun streamed past the mountain and bathed everything in extremely deep yellow/orange light.
All of these shot with the 110f2 on the GFX, apart from it being annoyingly noisy at times, it may be my most favourite lens I've owned! The more time I spend with these fantastic people, the more I believe their lifestyle should be recorded, respected and allowed to flourish, shame not everyone thinks like that!

Thanks BillWelcome Mark - great introductory shots!
In the past many years ago, I visited Gatineau National Park quite a few times during early summer months and often wondered how lovely it must look in the fall. I cycled up to the higher elevations as well as some light hiking and it was a welcome respite from the city below. My wish is to visit various parts of Quebec during the early fall season not only because of the natural spender of colors but the wonderful culture and people I encountered.Golden Autumn Leaves, Gatineau National Park, Quebec, Canada. This image was taken last in the autumn season. The leaves fell off the trees in a wind storm the day after I took this image. When I was growing up in Ottawa we would go hiking and mountain biking in the Gatineau Park. A great place to escape the city especially in Autumn.
