Here is a list of them:

It’s been awhile since we had a visit to our local night market on Monday evenings, so this time I took my Nikon along with me.

Even from this far away you can see the bright lights in the distance.

Before I forget, my Nikon D-80 just came back from the shop on Thursday, and all seems very good. I used it to take the shots for the Ghost Month piece over the weekend.
In our last installment, I left you with this photo:

I never expected to get so many comments about Cabela’s but we sure did. The fact is, Hui-chen and I didn’t get enough of the place so we went back there on our way out of town!

Hui-chen and I rented a red Dodge Charger in North Carolina and headed to the panhandle area of West Virginia. We had a meeting with a customer and then headed to my favorite destination: Cabela’s!
