I was in London for a few days on a work-related trip just last week. Not wanting to lug along my full DSLR-kit, the Lumix G7 came in handy. With the camera and 3 lenses covering a 35mm-equivalent range of 28-400mm all fitting nicely into a small bag, I went for a leisurely stroll on the Golden Jubilee Bridge, intending to take some shots of the London Eye. Little did I realise that the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon was to take place then. Soon, the streets were filled with colourful and brightly-dressed runners. Using a high vantage point from the bridge, I was able to take some interesting pictures in the surprisingly pleasant (for October) weather.

Travelling from Solo City, we hired a couple of sampans to take us out onto Lake Rawa Pening right at the break of dawn. The name Rawa Pening literally means “clear swamp”. Its clear waters provided beautiful reflections of the surrounding area including views of the neighbouring Mount Merapi, an active volcano that erupted as recently as in 2006. The boatman we hired posed gamely for us by casting his fishing net into the clear waters. Rapid clicking of camera shutters followed his beautifully balanced poise and action.
