Salzburg is about 2h drive or train ride from Innsbruck. We have plenty of Alps too. ;-)

The Lofotens may well become the destination of my next trip. We have been thinking about going there for a few years. These images may just have sealed that decision! Thanks.

Really spectacular photo! You can ignore my question on one of the other Lofoten images on where - I did not see the location when I first saw that photo. This whole series is incredible.

I like the photo and lens' rendering, do You remember about aperture what could be used here? PS. I agree that I had some problems with Ibbz's political sensitiveness but I like his photos too.

Couple of month may change your opinion radically. i wish you no buttheart at all =) This girl gets her initial weapons training at shooting range near Kyiv. She accompanied one of the recruits to Ukrainian antiterroristic military forces. 4 months ago Ukrainian president was occused in total corruption and ran to Russia.\n\n\n Let's not get into this political nonsense. I just asked about the girl. Is this supposed to represent a Zeiss photograph? or a political statement? If political statements are allowed here can I include some anti-EU stuff please? or can I post some Pro-Russian photographs?\n\n\n
