Thanks Paco,  the D800E  and 58G seem to enhance each other...

Thank you John and Colin. Yes, close witnesses of so many stories! Bearing some scars and mementos too.

   John, that 58g keep delivering and working its magic on your hands.

   Fons, like the use you are giving to the 20mm. It changes my identity as a viewer. I'm a different person with your proposed point of view

Thanks Paco!

I set out to photograph a pineapple lily but didn't like my first attempt. This weathered shrine that belonged to my friend's mother caught my eye. I tried to turn day into night to get rid of an unpleasant background.

I think this might be St. Francis of Assisi but not being Catholic I'm not sure.

Yes, he is often pictured with birds.

New e-bike, the low frame tubes enable me to more comfortably enter and exit the riding position compared to the previous bike with a higher gents frame. Camera ready for action in the left rear luggage bag.
And no, the dog doesn't sit on the bike

A comfortable ride Luc.

A comfortable ride Luc.

Yes, it's comfortable although I delibelately chose a bike without front and seatpost suspension (imo unnecessary weight and complexity). Wide tires 47x622 (28x1.75) and a Brooks Cambium saddle offer enough comfort for me. I'm not a fast rider anymore. I usually ride in lowest Eco mode, so I have to add human power which keeps me fit.

Nice bike, Luc !

From the photo the saddle's surface seems not to be parallel to the ground. It could only be perspective, but you should check it anyway...

Ciao from Massimo

Very observant, Massimo. The posted image was shot during a test ride. Meanwhile the original Selle Royal gel saddle has been replaced by a properly adjusted Brooks saddle. Thanks for noticing, a few mm's can make a great difference indeed.
