> We spent last week in British Columbia, Canada. First stop was Vancouver,
> where we saw Tom and Tuulikki Abrahamsson, Howard and Esther Cummer, and
> Alex Shishin and his wife Sawako-san, who were visiting from Japan. We
> also explored the streets and the SkyTrain, and saw a exhibit of
> fin-du-siecle French art at the Vancouver Art Gallery, where we met up
> with some of the Leica gang again. The Vancouver pictures are here:

> Then it was on the Whistler area. We stayed a bit north, in Pemberton,
> rather than in the hyperkinetic commercial concession that is Whistler
> Village itself. We went up the mountain lifts to the summits of Whistler
> and Blackcombe mountains, hiked the trails up there, and explored a couple
> of area waterfalls and lakes.

> 
> Then it was over the mountains and into the interior of BC, through
> Lilloet and on to Logan Lake, wherein reside David Young and Rose Manzer.
> There was smoke from the many BC forest fires in the air, sometimes just a
> hint, sometimes enough to obscure the view to the next hillside. No
> matter, we still saw a huge copper mine, herds of wild horses, some local
> waterfowl, and a coyote. The bears sent their regrets and did not show
> themselves.

> 
> Then we returned home via Vancouver and a meetup with Henning and Tanya
> Wulff. We hung out on Chuckanut Drive near Bellingham, WA on the way back.
>  Now I am back at work, but I don't have to believe it if I don't want to.

> I have a very painful "frozen shoulder," and didn't want to hassle with a
> lot of lens changes. So this was the first trip in years that I did not
> photograph with a Leica M.  Instead, I brought the Panasonic G1 with kit
> zoom, the 20/1.7 and one lens for Leica--a VC 90/3.5 Lanthar, which makes
> a fabulous 180mm equivalent on micro 4/3. Focusing the 90 was easy on
> static subjects, not so easy on a galloping herd of wild horses.

> Enjoy,
