Re: More Southwest USA

Thanks - the southern end of House Rock Road has the Californian Condor release site on it I think. It is just possible to see the training electricity cables and poles.

Did you go on Highway 89T - it was specially built to bypass the landslip on Rte 89 just north of the turnoff to Vermilion Cliffs.

I don't think we ever got as far as the southern end of House Rock Road, and certainly didn't see a condor ... shame. As far as 89T, I have no idea! I was too busy most of the time on the dirt roads hanging on and trying to stop my teeth rattling! When we got back to highways I was too relieved to care which one it was!

You certainly milked that trip for all it was worth! I'm only jealous!

Well, it was specifically a photo trip, and when I got back from that 'holiday', I needed another just to recover! Getting too old for all the pre-dawn, hike-three-miles-to-get-to-location, several days in a row....!

But in retrospect, with selective memory, it was wonderful!

Excellent images!
Which were taken with the 40-150? Presumably this is the m43rds kit lens?

Yes, unless Margaret is doing secret field tests of the f2.8 version for Olympus! Or using the old FT version with an adapter, I suppose, but that scenario isn't nearly so intriguing!

What you don't see in the sandfall image, is the person who's dodged offscreen to the left, having thrown a pile of sand into the depression, so that it flowed out again...! Cheating? Moi?!

Wonderful shots thanks for letting me see a part of the world I will never visit.
