We have just returned from a weekend trip to the Gower Peninsula which is just a short drive away from the Welsh city of Swansea. Our first destination upon arrival was Caswell Bay. As it is still off-peak season for visitors, we found parking relatively easy. I am glad that we made the stop as the late-afternoon sun cast a dramatic scene before us. Exposure was tricky given the strong light (look at the small aperture, fast shutter speed and low ISO I used) — the Panasonic G3’s electronic view finder and “live histogram” certainly helped in giving me accurate previews of the shots I was to take.

I attended secondary school in Singapore at a school steeped in rugby tradition and remember being introduced to the game during physical education classes. The scrum formation has always been an interesting part about rugby. I was rather amused when I caught these sheep grazing on a rubgy field in Bakewell during our visit to the Peak District last year.

Paris has many nicknames, but its most famous is “La Ville-Lumière” (“The City of Light” or “The Illuminated City”), a name it owes first to its fame as a centre of education and ideas during the Age of Enlightenment, and later to its early adoption of street lighting. — Wikipedia

What would a visit to the City of Light be without a visit to the top of the Eiffel Tower at dusk? We were lucky to get clear views when we made our way up that evening as the summit was shrouded in fog earlier in the day.
