0930_23's Journal

Gentle Persuasion Uploaded: 10/25/10 7:44 PM GMT

I was returning from my Grandson's flag football game yesterday when I saw a scene I thought looked interesting. There was a grove of trees with their fall coloring, a field of green winter wheat and a clouded sky with sun rays fighting their way through. I stopped and got set to take the photo when this buggy with the two Amish boys popped up from over the rise. I was so surprised, I almost forgot to take a photo. I only got one. We traded greetings and they were gone. Enjoy.

Thanks for the comments on Honey Maker. The main advantage in using a telephoto for a macro is the greater working distance to the subject, handy for bees and skittish insects like dragon flies. The downside is it is a heavier setup to pack around.

Hello Ron, thanks for your support on Sculpture... I am not certain why so many ancient sculptures have been damaged... heads, arms, legs, etc. Some may be from where they were located and withstood damage from their location, or again, sadly, when Greece was invaded in the past, there was damage from the invaders. Sad, but again, there is so much we have been able to view and appreciate.

Hi Tick,

Macedonia and Albania have parts of the Lake Ohrid, but the Macedonian part is much bigger. We enter in Albania via Saint Naum and to the first village, Tushemisht are only 8 kilometers. The other way is via Struga, the other side, which is 22 kilometers to the first village Lin. My first photo was in Saint Naum, and this one is in Albania before Lin. I hope you understood me. Have a great weekend.
