I was there with a group of work colleagues since that is the only way to get to see the parliament building. So, I took some shots away from the group either before heading into a room or corridor or after. Funny enough, I only saw one politician there and then there were 3 attending a debate in the main parliament hall, where you are only allowed to take photos with a phone, so I missed that unfortunately.

Nice. I've always wondered if the size, shape, distribution, color, etc. of Zebra's stripes were unique to each animal. Haven't really taken a look but your image would indicate that may be the case.

Fuji on Fuji
Don’t know whether it’s just a perception but last week using Fuji’s f2.2 55mm lens from 1970s delivered fantastic colors with crazy smoothness and gentleness of the outcomes. Also Fuji’s 55mm f1.8 - colors are also super spectacular but it’s so much sharper at f1.8 than the magic f2.2. My f2.2 is broken - the aperture is always wide open and it is absolutely great that way :-)

Superb photos 👍

Somethings I expected to see flying on the Mondsee (Austria).
Windsurfers, yes:
Windsurfers do get airborne sometimes:
But this gorgeous warbird? Not expected. According to Wiki there is an airworthy F4U-4 in Austria, so I guess this is it.
Sorry about the stationary prop...I had a fast shutter set for the windsurfers. Big crop.
All taken with the XF55-200, which is the longest lens I have with me.

These were taken at Nickerson Beach in late March and have been sitting in my queue to post. The great horned owls kept me busy for a while and then I injured my arm and am recuperating from tendinitis in the left elbow. I have not been able to sit at the computer for more than a few minutes never mind use my camera and that's why I have not been posting. The good news is that I'm getting better though it will be a slow recovery.

Great pictures as always Morris! Sorry to hear about your injury. Hope you get well soon. Take care of yourself; I guess rest is a good remedy here.

Thank you Jacob,
Rest, anti inflammatory drugs, PT and time. I'm confident I'll recover and be shooting sometime during the summer.
