Nearly two months later (at least one month and a half) I finally made some time to update this journal. While I did a lot this summer, frankly, I had no time off but more about this later.

- Business is stable, better than it used to be in the first half of this year. If everything goes as planned, it should only go up by the end of the year. There are a few factors that might change everything, time being one of them, but I hope I will be able to keep everything stable.

- Went to a Nikon event in late August. Truly something worth attending. I did not have my camera since I did not want to carry it all the way to Bucharest, therefore no shots.

- Been riding in August. Went to Lucina, an old mountain resort which right now is rather deserted. However, there are about 400 horses there and horse-riding lessons were available. I could not help myself but ride my own for about half an hour or so. Beautiful sights there, nevertheless, I advise against going there in winter. It's hard to reach in the middle of summer, not to mention winter.

- Been on Rarau peak a few weeks ago (1400m or so), caught some interesting sights from up there too. Unfortunately, the light was rather annoying from where I was standing therefore most of the shots were contre-jour and you can barely distinguish a few trees here and there. However, I managed to get a few shots down the road (dreams of September 1 and 2).

- Getting a new camera somewhere in late November. I won't say what since I want to keep it a surprise, but I am quite excited by it I will probably sell my old D50 by then and will buy a new lens. I think a fisheye would suit my needs best, but it remains to be seen, since fisheyes can be rather pricey.

- Planning a short trip in mid-November (I hope after my camera arrives, but nevertheless). I hope it will be in Austria or The Czech Republic, but again, it remains to be seen. I have been so busy this summer that I had no time to relax and my brain is flying around like airplanes. Hopefully, then I will manage to put my thoughts in order (and hopefully by then my head is not going to explode).

Finally, I will be moving these following two weeks, therefore I will probably not submit any new deviations. I hate this whole moving process, I hate having to move my books, my stuff from one place to another, especially since I have no idea where I'm going to move. Nonetheless, once I am done, I hope to take a short breath of fresh air.
