Head there for your kiteboarding fix. I'll remain in a hangaround mode for now.

Brunotti's Pro Princess board, with gold and lace trimmings in strategic places. Slightly unimaginative solutions, but stylishly executed and gathered points from the ladies present. Well designed, then.

Icebreak 2010

Annual canoe cross race at the old town rapids. Would have needed a longer lens here. I should be getting the 14-45 (28-90 equivalent) sometime soon, though.

That's just plain confusing.

Bring Out the Gear

It's spring; Birds are coming back and long lenses are coming out. A walk through the Viikki nature reserve today was full of people in various degree of camouflage clothing wielding very expensive cameras with tele lenses, plus binoculars and telescopes. I don't think many migrating feathery friends will get through unseen here. Having my GF1 with the tiny 20mm pancake lens around my neck I was very obviously someone not knowing anything about birdwatching, which is of course quite true.

A well kept old 911. By far the coolest one of the three I spotted on my evening walk.

Romans

Had an afternoon to look around Lyon as well. The museum about the Roman roots of the city was great. Lot's of old stones and everyday items giving a pretty good picture of what life was like in Lugdunum. Not that different from now, after all.

Pretty impressive place, the whole house essentially being one big machine.

We got back from France yesterday, but shooting in Raw now means going through the pictures takes a little longer than before. Great trip all in all, biggest reason being our wonderful hosts Valérie and David. Big thanks to you guys!

Our luggage loss rate at CDG airport dropped from 50% to 25% as well.
