Many thanks for your congratulatory message for the September POM award. It was certainly the finest sunset I have ever witnessed on the beach at Koh Samui, Thailand. The shot was handheld and taken on my new camera. I now use a Nikon D90 with: Nikon AF-S DX 18-200/3.5-5.6 VR lens. I am currently in Queensland, Australia and hope to take more pictures. In late October early November I hope to drive around NE Thailand and venture into Laos and Cambodia – so again I hope for more photo opportunities.

Thanks for the comment on my Madrid report but sorry I should be quite unable to help with the translation.
The best I ever managed in Germany was to borrow a knife from a gasthof!

Packing is usually a last minute job for me, but I have started to sort out some of the stuff I want to take as I won't have much time this week to do it.
And yes, I am looking forward to get some autumn sun. Looking at the forecast, it looks like we might be lucky!
I am also looking forward to try out my brand new camera, a Panasonic DMZ-FZ38, which is much lighter than my old Fuji and has quite a lot of extra features and a great tele zoom. I was going to wait to buy a new one until our Africa trip next year, but thought this would be a good opportunity to familiarise myself with it.
