   Lille, France

   I was in Lille the last few days for a family gathering. To work off some of the food and alcohol (they know how to feast, the French), I took a walk around the town centre with the Pen-F with the 12-40

   Costa Rica top 30

   Finally finished sorting out the photos from a recent trip to Costa Rica. Here are a few of the best. Most with E-M10 mk II and Panasonic 50-200 f2.8/4 but also a few with other lenses. I would have used my E-M5 mk II if that hadn't failed but that is another story. Very pleased with the Panasonic lens

   A Journey Back In Railway History - Tasmanian West Coast Wilderness Railway (Image Heavy)

   On a recent trip to Tasmania I had the opportunity to take an excursion on the West Coast Wilderness Railway. This railway is a reconstruction of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company railway between Queenstown and Regatta Point, Strahan which began operations in 1897 as the only link between Queenstown and the port of Strahan. The railway is significant because of its Abt Rack System to conquer the mountainous terrain through rainforest, with original locomotives still operating on the railway today.
   The specially designed Abt locomotives were built by Dubs & Co. of Glasgow for the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Co. Ltd

   The Eye of the Eagle

   April and May are the best times to photograph Bald Eagles, at least in Peterson Bay where I live. Lots of daylight, reasonably good weather, and the eagles are gathering territory for the upcoming mating and nesting time.Here, a mature eagle has just launched off its' perch and is following a mate down the beach.
   
   Here's one that was in the nest last year. It still hangs around the parents when it is allowed, but that time is drawing short.

   Spring Bloom: Tokyo & Joshua Tree NP

   Some quick business travel this past week to Japan and Palm Springs gave rise to some photo opportunities on the side, first with the cherry tree blossoms in peak form around Tokyo, followed by the Super Bloom that has covered much of Southern California following a winter of copious amounts of rainfall.
   
   To my surprise, the cherry trees in Tokyo bloomed ahead of Osaka this year, so a quick detour north before my flight home allowed me to spend a day visiting some of the parks and gardens renowned for the different sakura species. For those familiar, I visited Chidorigafuchi Green Way, Rikugien Gardens, Shinjuku Gyoen, and the Imperial Palace. All photos were taken with the Lumix G9 and Olympus 12-100
