European mobility week 2010


Wet, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Today I wasn't eco-friendly at all. Instead, I used the car a lot. And now I feel a bit guilty.

This is especially relevant as the upcoming European Mobility Week is "an awareness raising campaign aiming at sensibilising citizens to the use of public transport, cycling, walking and at encouraging European cities to promote these modes of transport and to invest in the new necessary infrastructures. [...] From 16 to 22 September 2010 the Mobility Week is the opportunity for European cities and towns to participate to the most widespread event on sustainable mobility."

Returning to photography - or rather, cameras - I finally found a link to the "advanced" user guide of the Panasonic LX5, titled "Operating Instructions for advanced features". It is available at the UK Panasonic web site. Note that you need to select the 16 MB file, not the 3 MB file which is the basic guide. This guide confirms that the LX5 is indeed quite similar to the LX3 in operation and features (as far my requirements go).

Juha, this is a fine image along with your post. The way the rain water on the glass transforms reality and creates new shapes is really special.

@Markus: I'm sure you appreciate hearing this - the photograph was taken in the drive-in lane of Hesburger, a Finnish version of McDonald's.
