I love checking out churches overseas - - they are so pretty!

Glad you like my photos - you are so encouraging! We leave tomorrow for the next tour, but who knows how long it is going to take me to get the journal done!

I have finally found some time to catch up with you on your tours. I loved all the photos of course, and I am always a bit envious of you bike touring from home. I am so sorry about your bike issue and hope that can get resolved. Pushing your e-bike up any kind of incline is not only terribly difficult but, I think, a bit dangerous for us of the older generation ;’-).

I look forward to your next post, and to learning what you will find about your e-bike issues.

Thanks again, Graham! I have my camera set on aperture priority, and the HDR look comes from shooting in bright sun and dark shadows situations. Then in LR I open up the shadows a lot. I probably overdo it sometimes. Very often the pictures before I process them are kind of rubbish. lol But the time of day we are out on our bikes is probably not the best light for taking pictures.

Great snaps again today!
Are you using a HDR mode on the camera, or working wonders on Lightroom?

Thanks, Graham!
I use a mirrorless Sony , it's fairly compact and light as opposed to most dslr's. And I also like to do some post processing, mostly in Lightroom.

Photos as ever are fantastic. Thanks, Suzanne.

So great to see you get out for an overnight again!

Wonderful journal!
I just wonder if you're using your phone to take photos, or a camera? I notice there's a nice brightness to the pics... such as this one. You also don't get any converging angles, so obviously carefully frame the shot.

Paired perfectly with his cell phone.

Looks OK. Just OK.

The bike shop hasn't been able to help. I have found a solution, though. I have been keeping a low profile on this since it was a rather extravagant solution which I am a bit embarrassed about. But the "solution" is super and I don't regret a single cent. You'll see it in the next post.

Probably derived from the name Wachar, a bishop (?) in the early Middle Ages, who made a donation ... that's all the information I could glean from the internet.

This looked like such a pleasant short trip. Day 2 looked postcard perfect. I was going to ask how your bike was performing for you, after the issues you had at the beginning. Unfortunately, your text has given me a bit of an answer! I hope a bike shop can help you out - pushing a loaded bike is never fun, a loaded e-bike would be even worse!! Good luck finding a good resolution for those issues. Looking forward to the next trip!

That’s a great name. Was ist “Waa”?
