Railway Crossing 1

@ajoeh: Thanks, Ajoeh! I just received your comment and it's now 10.30 AM here. It must be evening in Lombok, and in the USA too early to get up. Interesting to see when you get comments from parts of the world on what time of the day! Tripods are not very expensive, I just bought a table tripod (only three flexible "legs" each 20 cm. long, to be put on a table, a wall, or whatever)for 5 Euros (about 6 US dollars) and if you can afford a camera like you have it mustn't be too difficult to buy a tripod, I surely recommend one.

I'm aware that in Indonesia 6 US dollars is far more "value for money" than it is here. I hope we get the insight that we in Europe can do with much less and share the wealth of the world with more people, I think we are urged to in order to survive, this is also a lesson we learned from what took place just yesterday on your neighbor island! (These heavy words caused by such a simple thing like a tripod:)

@Wolfgang Prigge: Merci Wolfgang! J'avais mes doutes, le halo ressemble un peu trop un corps étranger au ciel, mais je ne sais pas comment l'éviter sans perdre la vue aux autres parts de l'image qui ont besoin d'un peu de la lumière, eux aussi. C'est comme l'économie du monde: il faut accepter, comme il semble, la prospérité exorbitante pour un petit part des hommes, pour laisser profiter la majorité...
