Chinese Take-Away
Where better to find a Chinese take-away restaurant than in the land where they invented this? Pictured is a restaurant in Beijing that also caters for pickup. The man on the right (at the counter window) just drove in with his electric tricycle to get some Chinese food. Location: Guijie Street (also known to locals as Ghost Street), DongCheng District.
American Girl
Amazing shop in New York City: at the American Girl store, REAL American Girls can choose their puppet for $100. For that amount you get a naked female doll with your exact looks (or any other style). When finished shopping at ground floor level, you take your naked doll to another floor to buy two sets of clothes: one for the doll and one for real. When the unisex shopping is finished, you end up at the top floor where real hairdressers take your doll and mimic your hair-do. The girl in the picture is carrying her doll from a previous visit. Same dress, same hair. (yes, MALE staff is talking mum into a new product 
)

A Year With the Leica M9
This website isn’t really a gear-tech website, but since I’ve been using my Leica M9 for over a year now, I think it’s a good time to share my personal experiences with this camera. Reviews of other users helped me make up my mind: now here’s my review… It might tip the balance for people that are thinking about buying one of these rangefinder cameras. Pictured: evening duststorm in Roswell, New Mexico; Leica M9 with Biogon 2.8/25 @ ISO 800

Alien encounter
Well, I now know how a duststorm looks and feels. A strange experience with hard blowing winds, lots of sands, 40 degrees celsius and sunlight turning purple (no it’s not Photoshop ) The storm didn’t keep me from my first close encounter. New Mexico is Alien!
UFO Crash Site (3)
A barren soaring hot place in the middle of ‘nowhere’ in New Mexico, USA… A view over the lands where in 1947 a flying saucer crashed. Somewhere in this view, 64 years ago an alleged alien craft and alien bodies were retrieved by the US Army. A pinned down *exact* location is kept secret by both the government and the UFO investigators (who still consider the area an active archeology site), but this is as close as it gets. Just open the image, look at it and take a moment to think about it. Out of this world

UFO Crash Site (2)
After locating the farmlands where the ’47 UFO-crash took place, the trick was to find an entrance to be able to photograph the area of the incident. That didn’t prove to be easy: there supposed to be a sign, but it was removed. Only after trying several of the junctions of the northern Highway 285 road, I found these two steel poles sticking out of the desert sands… The entrance road is called Bitterroot Road; the crash site must lie beyond this point… (to be continued)
