Hi Luggers,
Last night high winds (+80 kmp) swept Pender Island with lashing rain and 
blew over enough trees to cause the power to fail.
There was nothing to do - no internet, no TV, no radio. So I went to bed to 
read by flashlight. Taken with the redoubtable D800E
and the 50mm Nikkor f1.4. Some say the 50 Nikkor is not up to the D800E 36Mp 
but my old version seems to work fine.

Please look large, as always, and C&C always
welcome

Howard (on Pender where the power came on again at 2:30 am - I know because 
I left the lights on when the power went off!)
