Taken with the Df (and I dare Jakov to guess which lens) this picture expresses how I feel after the Cretan experience. I had very good company (the Vikings were great), lots of fun, tasty food (those who have tasted it can understand). I have, also, learned (I hope) how to chip my MF Nikkors.
I have to get up at 4:30 am to catch the 5:00 bus to the airport.  I will post more when I get home.

Elias, I haven't got a clue which lens you used, the 105/1.4?
I am sorry I wasn't there with you guys, but the proposed dates simply didn't suit me...

I should have known better looking at the colours and bokeh...

Last night in Chania, all of us went for an excellent 'farewell' dinner. On the way, I couldn't resist this ice-cream parlour and its fanciful variety of ice creams.

As out flight back home was very late we (Gunver and I) had the day to walk about in the old town.
We found Mythos the cat, has had relocated to another restaurant, curled up on a nice blue chair.
I was a very inspiring NG event, now I have to get my old AIS 55 f3.5 Micro Nikkor re-lubed as Bjørn complained about the stiffness in the helicoil :o

I have enjoyed seeing Mythos the Cat. Cool name!

This was a small but very interesting meet-up. I hope next time to be able to join in.

The bee on the lavender and the stone chair are interesting to me!

I also enjoy the harbor views.

You would not be mistaken, Fons. They were common on shores and along lowland roads.
