Even though more than half a century ago, on separate trips I've been to Spain, Switzerland, England and Wales, I never got to France, but I thank you for the great images you've been posting of that country.

France is like one big photo opportunity.  The cities and towns, the countryside are all beautiul.

I took this one years ago, but was reminded of it yesterday when I had to get something from the office early. It was the same warm golden light. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take a new shot.

Sunrise or sunset.  I think I remember that photo from before.

Sunset over the Yellow River.

Interesting moon gate.  Where is that?

I also really like the fourth photo with the flowering plant in the pot and the spectacular mountains in the background.

The moon gate is in an ancient temple site just north of the Yellow River in Henan Province.  The fourth photo was taken from the north of Yangshuo in Guanxi province, which was the destination of the Li River cruise through the Karst mountains.  The highest mountain is called "Half Moon Hill" because of the opening near the top of it.

Thanks for my first laugh out loud of the day. 

I assume you were on the American side of Niagara Falls, since the drink is set on a "Bud LIght" coaster.  In case you ever return there, the view of the falls is much better from the Canadian side.

since I haven't tended a bar in 4 decades, when did meat become a drink garnish?

original When I’m bored I try to push AI to a breaking point, but it just keeps delivering.  The original photo was just a bunch of hungry fish.

Add a squirrel.

Hmmm … add a snake, and a vampire, put a martini in the vampire’s hand, add a bucket of KFC.

Ok … remove the water.

What kind of camera?

What kind of camera?  

I opted for a Nikon D300s DSLR (which is 15 year old technology).  My original camera was a Nikon D100 that I purchased in 2002.  

The newer camera is quite a bit heavier.  And it has more features that I am still working through.

Although I never used Nikons my favourite film camera of all time was a Canon F1,  I now use a Panasonic with a Leica lens that zooms to 600mm, but these days I'm not out and around so I'm not getting any new photos.  Frankly, I find my new camera too complicated.

Canon makes (made) solid cameras.  My film cameras were Yashica because I liked the Zeiss lenses.  I don't have experience with the Panasonic Lumix.  The camera consistently gets good reviews and sounds like a great camera.  

Digital film is inexpensive so just shoot what's available.  My photo of the stones came from the landscape border around my house.  And the other is a close up of the metal shell of the AC unit.

I thought they were an interesting choice of subject.
