<p>Just back from two weeks in Belgium and Amsterdam. Lots of art and interesting buildings (also beer and fantastic fries). This is from Bruges at a monastery and former almshouses.</p><div></div>

<p>Years ago the city traffic planners in Zurich managed to place a highway bridge into the river "Sihl", a crime that was only topped with samples like this. People are still living in this house.</p><div></div>

<p>What's more cliche than the sun and sunflowers? I still like this photo taken in a field of sun flowers during the last sunny day this week showing rich colors without using a polarizer or adding saturation during postprocessing. Goodbye summer 2010.</p><div></div>

<p>A couple of scenes from Grand Lake, Colorado <a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-12-10/?action=view&current=GrandLake4Boardwalk.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-12-10/GrandLake4Boardwalk.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> <a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-12-10/?action=view&current=GrandLakeMainSt.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-12-10/GrandLakeMainSt.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> The Tiki Room in Estes Park. I swear that's not me in the sharks mouth. I don't smoke. <a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-12-10/?action=view&current=GreatWhiteSharktikiroom.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-12-10/GreatWhiteSharktikiroom.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>

<p>Then it was back to normal programming:</p><div></div>

[snik75]

<p>I went to a concert, the Idaho band Built To Spill, and thought I would explore my low-light capabilities. Here's the lead singer Doug Martch with the A 50/1.2 at 1.7, 1/90, ISO 6400 (K20).</p><div></div>

[snik75]

<p>These aren't technically perfect, but I like them. At f/2, 1/60:</p><div></div>

[snik75]

<p>And for something different, a visitor in our yard. The only one of about 20 shots that was in focus without motion blur, with the Rikenon XR 300mm f/4.5.</p><div></div>

<p>In my first post I wrote</p>

<blockquote>

</blockquote>

<p>What I <strong>meant </strong>to write was not Xavier but <strong><em>Javier</em></strong>, that saintly LA street photographer. Apologies for the confusion.</p>

<p>I loved the time I spent with this guy. I listened to him talk to me about photography for the better part of an hour. K20D with the 20-35 F/2.8 Tokina</p>
