Le Refuge Du Moure - Le Cheylard l’Evèque - Chemin de Stevenson-2018-D5-01 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Our accommodation for the night in Le Cheylard l’Evèque was Le Refuge Du Moure. Probably a little more luxurious Robert Lois Stevenson, which was the local inn, which still exists in the village today.

Day 5 of 12 - Le Cheylard l’Evèque to La Bastide-Puylaurent: Walking the Chemin de Stevenson (GR 70 Robert Louis Stevenson Trail) in the south of France.

what do you guys think between 14-150 II and Panasonic 14-140 3.5? Will be using on Olympus bodies (EM1m2 and PenF)

Have had both but not at the same time and the Pany is bigger and heavier and the Oly is still here since the lighter weight works better for me...ymmv

Abort Abort Abort by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

The Australian flagged, 477 gt tug, the WAMBIRI [IMO 8515518] the biggest tug available at Fremantle Port aborting the second attempt to bring the YASA UNITY into port in very strong winds [gusting above 70 km/h]. The WAMBIRI and the SIVTZER EAGLE had gone out through the heads a first time but then returned to the relative shelter of the Port whilst waiting for the YASA UNITY to come around for her second attempt at entry. The WAMBIRI had just cleared the heads when the pilot called an abort [you can see the YASA UNITY in the background]. Following this abort the WAMBIRI raced back to the safety of her berth and the pilot was picked up in the lee of Rottnest Island and the arrival of the YASA UNITY was rescheduled for the next morning.

Apologies for the quality of the photo: shot through my windscreen. The weather on South Mole was not conducive to photography in the elements.

The WAMBIRI was built in 1986 and is one of five tugs forming the local Svitzer Australia fleet. She is managed by Svitzer Australia Pty Ltd.

Rainbow – The Series #01 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Rainbow is a sculpture by Perth artist Marcus Canning which today dominates the northern entrance to Fremantle.

Rainbow which was commissioned by the City of Fremantle is nine-metre-high, 19 metres long and weighs in at a mere 66 tonnes.

Whenever I go past, which is most days, people are always there interacting with it. A truly masterful piece of art in the City.

This is a great lens for when you don't know what you will need, I used the full zoom range.

Another couple from the other day, I'm told it's a Sculpture Garden and not a statue park, my bad.

There are great choices for wide ranging zooms in u43, I think this one gets overlooked for the newer options. It hits the sweet spot for me, in range, size and weight. Funny, looking at my images many were taken in the 50-100 mm range, which surprised me. While I was there I had the impression I was always at 150mm to crop out distracting surroundings.

I find this lens to be pretty incredible for the price. $99 for images like this? Wild.

You are thinking of the 40-150, the 14-150 is more expensive

Ha, seems I was a bit lost.

Another trip to the sculpture garden, used the whole FL range again, from all the way wide to capture the form, to full telephoto to capture texture and detail.
