Great so far Gary. particularly like the museum exhibits. A nice warm up for the main event. Look forward to the rest

Returning to the room at our hotel gave us further opportunity to ignore the elephant in the room which we eventually decided to photograph so that we could ignore it some more at our leisure.

Priceless, and absolutely true, dam things kept following us.

It gets much much better folks.. Many thanks to Wayland who's great photography and story telling far outshines mine.

Thanks Twodogs that was the pinnacle of my photographic prowess contained in that single imagine (Wayland did in fact set the camera up (his), and all i did was in-fact point and click) , which I'm sure Wayland has performed his brand of imaginer magick on to save me embarrassment. I might add that under Wayland's excellent tuition my photo's improved 100%, still poor, but now only by a bit , you would think someone spend as much time out of doors as me should be able to take a half decent piccie, but alas this form of techo-magick still eludes me

awesome i am well looking forward to the next installment

 

[oldtimer]

Like many on this site, to judge from the above comments, I really look forward to your trip reports and am never disappointed. Many thanks.

I found the museum part particularly interesting as everday artifacts used by ordinary people and their EDC seem to me to be of greater interest than the high value items of "kings and princes" more commonly displayed.

Great reading looking forward to the next instalment.

 

[Wayland]

Part Two completed.

 

[Mesquite]

Part Two completed.

An excellent read Gary... thank you for going to all the effort of doing such a great write up

 

[Wayland]

With any luck I should get the next page up on Wednesday.

 

[Stringmaker]

Thanks for taking the time to share this; reading it was almost like being there.

Have you considered travel writing?

 

[Wayland]

Travel writing is a crowded market I reckon and I don't think I'm that good.

Glad you like it though. I should get the next one up tomorrow.

[crowman]

[Wayland]

Part Three is now posted.

Sorry for the delay.

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Nice stuff.

RE - Leather Mitts

At colder temps with little moisture, I presume Leather gloves don't soak up moisture and are breathable compared to synthetics ?

 

[Elen Sentier]

It looks wonderfull. The accutance at the tree edges is stunning . What a beauitful place the Boreal forest is ... oince upon a time we were part of it

 

[Wayland]

The mitten liners I am using for this project are the Hestra primaloft ones which are very warm but need a durable shell really.

I'm unlikely to be using then for any heavy work I have heavier mitts for that so they're most likely to be used sitting around the fire in the evening or when I'm waiting for the world to change with my camera.

Thin leather should be great for that job.

It gets better and better with each episode Gary
