Hopefully! If it is in good condition you'll surely enjoy photographing with it. Beats endlessly banging away on a keyboard!

Yes, Andy sure opened up a can of worms with this thread and those worms are now crawling all over the place. Andy does nice work with the equipment he's got and will do just as nice with the 500CM.

I'm waiting for more YouTube videos! Having more than 2 exposures per expedition may take some getting used to
Re: warm places. Native Iowans just bleach white and desiccate, my wife who's from NYC flies to Mexico.
When I was a kid it was the summer 3 week trips west and north to enjoy the mountains and cool air. Spent enough time in Canada to truly love the country.

It's funny, well really not, but my wife and I said we were really going to travel when the kids were gone and she retired. We travel less now than when we had kids home. I got to really push her to go anywhere unless it's to see the kids, grandkids or great grandkids. That sucks!

Andy,
Are you saying there are palm trees in Victoria?

I think I remember seeing them there.
We have them here in South Delta, on the other end of the ferry to the Victoria area.
They are actually a bit of an affectation - they will grow here, so people plant them in order to be able to show them off to people from Toronto or Winnipeg or Regina!
The city has them planted in the median down the centre of our main road!
