A really nice image, one of those that in good conscience I couldn't stray too far from its good bones.

Thank you, it's one of the few I slowed down on with the tripod and bracketing. Another wonderful rendition. Now I think I need to go there again! S-

Solar Battery Charger?

wesm wrote:

Cool links. Thanks.

I backpack so I'm looking at the same. I think extra batteries are easier, but I'd like to power my phone too so solar seems the way to go.
- Google the pros and cons before you commit and especially look at the amount of power you'll need based on what you bring with you.

Let us know what you decide of course! S-

Passport for Canada?

jerryc41 wrote:

Of the 70,000 members here, someone must have crossed from the USA into Canada. Was a passport required? I read online that I would not need a passport, but when I asked about getting one at the post office, the woman said I would need a passport to enter Canada. I should have kept mine current. If I get a new one, it will cost me $150.

The US State Department says PASSPORT VALIDITY: Valid at time of entry (as in YES)
https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/canada.html

And Entry, Exit & Visa Requirements
Entry into Canada: Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry both proof of citizenship and proof of identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens.

I'm in awe of the ease you seem to have in creating the second especially with the shadows, but like the original for the power in its simplicity. S-
