Sandie clowns for the camera711 viewsHere I must lament that the lens hood for my workhorse 24-70mm Canon zoom lens protrudes annoyingly into the picture when the lens is set at 24mm.

Balcony685 viewsThe north wing of Sarah and Mike's house. I really like the balcony, which provides a second-floor exit as well as a sun deck, and overhangs the first floor so as to provide cover for a person exiting on the first floor.
