OT travel advise for the kids
David, we did this route recently. We started of from Rome, Paris and London via the channel tunnel. Please ensure there is a parasol or a rain proof sheet for the baby's pram because of the perennial rains in London. Must see:- London - the millenium wheel (London Eye), Buckingham Palace changing of the guards, Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum, British Museum, Tower Bridge Trafalgar Square. Paris: the Louvre (Mona Lisa) , Arc de Triomphe, Place de La Concorde, Eiffel Tower, Cruise on the River Seine, Montmartre Hills, Grand Palais des Champs Élysées. Normandy - ?? Did not visit. We did the group tour through Thomas Cook and they had it organized all 4-star including the hotels, meals, all entry tickets, train bus and air tickets, pro Guides at all the places. Best of all were the friendly people and safety in a group. We were given plenty of time, never rushed or felt tired. We would leave at 8 AM after breakfast and return by 8 PM to the hotel. There were some late night shows after dinner for people who felt like going out for some extra fun, like the Eiffel Tower by night. The lighting was awesome. In Rome we saw quite some thuggery and Passport stealing, so one has to be careful in Europe. Look out for Starbucks, for the coffee in most European Restaurants are cold and insipid. Ha ha! Free use of toilets too. Be prepared to pay at least 2 Euros for using Rest Rooms. Ensure they have medical and accident coverage please. Good luck to your daughter, son in law and the baby. Regards.

Re: PESO: Cracks in the Firmament
Thanks to all who looked and commented! Jack, I'm afraid that it would be an odd aspect ratio crop, but I will give it a look. Thanks for the suggestion. Toine, not IN the car, no. I realized we had storms in the neighborhood late and was trying like the dickens to get to them before dark. It didn't help that I just had to stop a couple of times to take landscape/skyscape images in the fading light of sunset. I was on the last leg to reach the storms - a gravel road that stretched 25 miles between the highway and the town of Stockville, Nebraska when I saw on radar that the storm I had been targeting was falling apart. There was another more dominant storm behind it, but it was farther away and it would be well after dark before I could approach it. When I saw the golden wheat field and windmill I put on the brakes. The storm in the distance was putting on quite a light show and I thought I might get something interesting. I pulled the car as far off the road as I could, but left it running with headlights on and emergency flashers going while I went just a bit further down the road and set up on the opposite side. The road can be seen in the lower right, but some of the light on the ditch weeds is also from my car's headlights. The finger lightning is far more impressive than what you see in the cropped square photo. I wanted to eliminate (as much as possible) the blown-out area of the intense lightning. I'll see if I can share the full crop later today. On Mon, Jul 13, 2015 at 3:32 AM, Toine to...@repiuk.nl wrote: Great capture and photo! Shot from inside a car?

PESO: Double Rainbow in Last Rays of a Stormy Sunset

Re: PESO: Double Rainbow in Last Rays of a Stormy Sunset
I like that image a lot, Darren. It has a real feeling of wide open spaces, and the contrast between the rainbows and the darker areas of clouds is quite dramatic.

OT travel advise for the kids
Hello Dan, Steve Cotty Sir, we were in London end August for 3 nights and 4 days on a Thomas Cook group tour. Towards evening around 5 PM it would start drizzling or pouring every day. Our sad luck I suppose, but we beat the bad weather as we had very good quality Israeli light weight wind + rain cheaters. Actually rain is not a big deal for us, being familiar with the heavy monsoon rains here in Bangalore India. But for a little Baby 10 months old it could be a bother. We spent quite some time in the Middle East where we are used to mostly dry spells. But come November December with some rain, and you will see plenty of car accidents / pile ups. Expatriates like us chose tyres carefully - half sand half wet weather tread patterns, and we drove with caution of course with lights on. Regards.

The usual mist rising from open water into cold air was also being blown away from me.
