Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
We could not have found a better photographer for our wedding. Brian was beyond superb, we're extraordinarily happy with our wedding photos, not just because they are photos of our wedding but because they're awesome! He captured everything from start to finish, no limit on time or photos, and managed to capture both the big-scene moments and the tiniest details of our wedding decor, down to the small mementos and elements our close family made for us. Even the dance photos capture such great poses and highlight everyone's best sides. His style is awesome, moving lighting sources around and grabbing the great color of the room.
Brian is extremely professional but even more so great to work with - it felt like we knew each other a long time and he was an old friend shooting our photos, even though we had only met once before for our (included) engagement photo session. Even when things were getting chaotic with trying to take group photos of 50+ people, Brian made it a lot of fun!
Seriously, just book him and cross off one of the most important items off your list!
I have zero complaints about Brian and no shortage of compliments to offer about him. He was great throughout the entire process, from engagement photos, through wedding planning, on the big day and after too. He was extremely personable and was easy to work with. In comparing him to photographers that good friends of mine picked for their weddings, he was far and a way a better selection.
Brian Wolfe is absolutely amazing! Everyone gets to see the details of your wedding except the Bride & Groom. You don't really get to take in everything on your special day. But to have a photographer like Brian who captures every moment is so important. When we got our wedding photos back I couldn't stop looking at them (still haven't). I was able to see our wedding day, how everyone else saw it. I will have these pictures forever. I think that the photography is one of the most important things to get right on your wedding day. If you want to get it right, go with Brian Wolfe (y) photography! You will not regret it!
Brian was so wonderful to work with! We hired him to shoot our engagement photos and wedding and we could not be happier with the results! Not only did he provide us with AMAZING photos, but he made the entire process fun! He took special care to ensure that we felt comfortable and there was no doubt that we had his full attention the whole time. I highly recommend Brian Wolfe(y) photography!!! He is truly exceptional and we could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day!
Brian was such a professional photographer. He was very friendly and fun to be around the whole day. He really makes you feel comfortable and at ease while he's shooting. I trusted him with every aspect of the photography and the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined.
Brian did a phenomenal job at our wedding. He was there for us when we needed him, but he wasn't pushy. He was extremely professional and thorough. Our family photos after the ceremony were painless because he was organized. Brian's services were worth every penny, and more. He did a perfect job.
He was fantastic to work with, accommodating and fun!
Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with! From beginning to end, he has been the most helpful, professional, and friendly person we could have ever hoped for. Our pictures are absolutely amazing. Brian portrayed us like royalty! To steal his description- I felt like a Disney princess- dream come true, right girls!? He played a huge part in making sure that our fairy tale wedding was all that we could have wanted it to be. Brian captured literally every part of our special day. He was a blast to have around and made everyone feel comfortable (even my husband who is a total "man's man" and his crazy friends). We received our beautiful pictures back in an extremely timely manner, and I feel like I literally need every single picture posted around my house in every size :) He has great imagination and creativity, and even captured everything that I had specifically asked for. One of the details that I like most about his work, is that every picture from our photography spot is different. Everything from the photos of my husband and I, to groomsmen and bridesmaids, to the entire wedding party had it's own setting and feel to it, but they all flowed perfectly together and will look amazing once I finally do decide on where I want to put them up at! To top it all off, we feel like we made a great friend in Brian! We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone :)
Maria Nowak (married in Dearborn, MI)
Excellent photographer! I could not recommend him more. Not only did my wife and I get high quality and unique photos, but he made the whole process enjoyable. He was truly part of the group and made what could have been a hectic time a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a photographer.
We LOVE Brian as a photographer. We met him when he was doing a friend's engagement party and wedding and were so impressed with his work for their wedding that when my husband I got engaged, picking him as our photographer was hands down the easiest decision we made. He was so flexible with our requests, he came to Chicago to do our photo shoot and stayed very late at our reception to make sure he got all the pictures we requested. Whenever Brian is taking pictures it feels more like hanging out with a friend than someone awkwardly taking your picture for four hours.
Of course, the best part was when we got our pictures back. They were AMAZING!!!! Going through the pictures was just like reliving the wedding. Even our bridal party, families, and guests commented on how much they enjoyed our photographer. My husband and I can't say enough great things about him and would recommend him to anyone that asks.
When I was looking for a wedding photographer, Brian was recommended to me by a mutual friend - and I am sure glad that she did! Brian is an absolutely wonderful photographer, and a super fun person as well. We met Brian first at our engagement session about 2 months prior to our wedding. He is extremely personable, and took all of the awkwardness/stiffness out of the photo session. He captured us as we are, which is what I loved the most. He took the time to get to know us, our style, and made sure that our personalities shined through. He was accompanied by an assistant at our wedding, who was absolutely lovely and wonderful to work with. And because I didn't realize this was really important to me until I read it in one of the other reviews of his work, I'll mention it here -- during the ceremony and reception when all the events were happening, they were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Everything got captured, but I didn't see them anywhere! That was really special, because I truly felt that I could be experiencing everything without feeling...watched, for lack of a better word. Highly recommend Brian for your photo needs!
Brian is an absolute pleasure to work with! He has an amazing eye for photography and a lively attitude that is contagious! We were very lucky to have had him shoot our wedding. Everyone was extremely impressed with his professionalism, we can't wait to use him again! Our wedding photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and he had them finished very quickly! We cannot thank him enough and rave about how talented he is to all our friends and family! Couldn't have been better than it was with Brian!
When we first started planning our wedding, there was absolutely no question that Brian would be our photographer. It was the first "planning" call we made. Every step of the way Brian and his wife, Heidi, provided a positive experience. For our engagement shoot Brian was extremely flexible. He scouted the location with us and saw elements that turned out wonderfully. The entire shoot felt completely natural and relaxed. Brian has an amazing eye and countless ideas for creative shots. He also showed genuine interest in our ideas and truly captured our personalities. Our wedding was no different. Brian communicated with us regularly leading up to the big day and provided a detailed outline of his plans. He arrived early, was professional, flexible, organized, and interacted well with everyone involved- even learning names of the people in the wedding party! Everything flowed smoothly- photography was never a point of stress. Looking back through our pictures we were amazed at the shots he was able to capture. We never saw him during the ceremony or reception and yet he documented everything beautifully. We were also impressed at how quickly we received the finished product. We couldn't be happier with our experience.
Brian and his assistant took absolutely wonderful photographs at both my engagement photo session and my wedding! The engagement photos were included in our wedding package and gave Brian a chance to get to know my husband and I prior to the wedding, which made things go very smoothly on the big day.
Check out his website to see examples of his wonderful work. We received an incredible amount of compliments on how beautiful our wedding photos turned out and it was all due to Brian's hard work and eye for beautiful settings. I would recommend him for any bride-to-be.
Brian is an amazing photographer! He does an awesome job capturing the special candid moments, as well as the traditional photos for weddings. His editing and creativity have turned our wedding pictures into memories that will last forever! He is very fun to work with too!
Brian did a fantastic job with our engagement/wedding photos! He did an excellent job of using lighting and the environment to provide breathtaking photos. Not only is Brian a skilled photographer, he is great at making you feel comfortable while getting your photo taken (over and over on your wedding day). He is great at organizing people and working with all ages while adding comedic one-liners.
I would recommend Brian to all my friends! Great work!

Not bad. The Fry-Leela stuff was rather sweet, especially the ending.

I'm not bothered by this. Some words are bound to be mangled after a 1000 years.
It's nowhere near that old. The term was coined in 1864 after a variant spelling of
, the German name for the Neander Valley where their remains were first identified. And the "-thal" spelling was an archaic variant even at the time. It's always been pronounced "-tal" for as long as it's been used as a name for that subspecies.
I was more bothered by the outdated assumptions about Neanderthals here. It's now believed that they were a lot smarter and more sophisticated than we used to think, perhaps on a par with us or even more so in certain ways. And genetic studies have proven that they did interbreed with us -- indeed, it's possible they never really died out, just blended so thoroughly with
H. sapiens
that they merged into a single population.
Also it seemed odd that these Neanderthals who'd been cut off from human civilization for 30,000 years spoke English.

On Ebay someone recently purchased a Canonet QL19 for about $75.00 when you include shipping. These can be had at garage sales etc. for just a few dollars. Considering the limited abilities of this camera $75.00 is a heck of a lot of money. A QL17 can fetch even more, as much as $175.00 !!!! (check completed auctions on Ebay)
I think one should refrain from drinking alcohol when searching auction sites.

Here is an image of how it looks on a Leica M6 (rangefinder camera).
The framelines are always lighter than the rest and is used to compose the image (everything within will be part of the image, everything outside will not). The grey area in the middle is used for focusing. In this area you will see two overlapping images, one is part of the whole viewfinder image, and one is projected on top of it. The image on top moves from left to right when you focus. When the two images overlap the focus is correct.
and here is an image showing how the camera looks outside: http://www.adorama.com/images/Product/LCM772BK.JPG
The window to the right is the viewfinder image.
The middle window (grey) is used to make the frames lighter.
The left window is the small focusing area.
The distance between the left and the right window determines the accuracy of the rangefinder. Larger distance = better accuracy.
Here is an image showing how it works:
The blue line is the whole image.
The yellow light is illuminates the frames so they will always be lighter than the image.
The red line is the small focusing image that is projected in the middle.
When you focus a small mirror is turned slightly so that the projected image moves within the finder.

Valentino Rossi Records
If Valentino Rossi wins the MotoGP title this season, it will be his ninth world championship, which will equal the number of world titles achieved by Mike Hailwood and Carlo Ubbiali. The only riders with more world titles are Giacomo Agostini with 15 and Angel Nieto with 13. This will be yet one more achievement to be added to his long list of records, the most notable of which are listed below:
>> Rossi has never missed a GP since making his debut in the 125cc class at Shah Alam in Malaysia in March 1996.
More Podiums than Giacomo Agostini
With his MotoGP victory at Brno, Valentino Rossi becomes the rider with most Grand Prix podium finishes in the 61 years of the motorcycling world championships. His Czech Grand Prix win was the 160th occasion that he has stood on the podium across all classes, one more than the previous holder of the record Giacomo Agostini, whose last podium finish was in the 500cc race at the Czech GP in 1977, held on the old road circuit.
2013 – Dani Pedrosa's ninth place finish at Donington took his career points total to 2013 making him the Spanish rider who has taken most points in his GP career, just a single point more than Alex Criville.
159 – Valentino Rossi and Giacomo Agostini are the two riders with most podium finishes across all classes of Grand Prix racing each having stood on the podium on 159 occasions.
British Grand Prix – Sunday 26 July
• This is Valentino Rossi's fourth pole at Donington on a MotoGP machine. His three previous MotoGP poles at Donington have all ended in victory.
• If Valentino Rossi finishes in the top three he will set a new outright record of 160 podium finishes in Grand Prix racing. Giacomo Agostini's existing record of 159 podium finishes has stood since 1977.
• If Dani Pedrosa finishes ninth or higher he will have scored more points during his Grand Prix career than any other Spanish rider in history.
Valentino Rossi's victory at the Catalan GP was the 99th time he has stood on the top step of the podium in Grand Prix racing. As shown in the following list, one more victory and he will become only the second rider in the 61 years history of the motorcycling world championship to have reached the milestone of 100 Grand Prix victories:
Riders with most Grand Prix victories (all solo classes)
Rider Total Combined Wins (MotoGP/500cc 350cc 250cc 125cc 80cc/50cc)
1. Giacomo Agostini 122
2. Valentino Rossi 99
3. Angel Nieto 90
Dainese renew TT involvement as Official Safety Partner for 2009.
Dainese has today announced that the company has been appointed the 'Official Safety Partner' to the Isle of Man TT Races for 2009. As part of the significant deal, the first of the TT's Superbike races will be known as The Isle of Man Dainese Superbike Race.
Cascina Costa Beauties
It was Count Domenico Agusta's obsessive policy to keep the secrets of his racing machines well hidden; many bikes suffered the ignominy of destruction, while others were interred beneath his airstrip's runway.
The year 1975 was a difficult one for Meccanica Verghera (MV) Agusta, the aristocratic Italian motorcycle makers. In its 30-year existence, an astounding 37 world racing championships had been won by legends such as Mike Hailwood, Phil Read and Giacomo Agostini. That year, MV Racing had no titles to show.
Meccanica Verghera Agusta
Refinement becomes a legend. Anyone who has experienced Michelangelo's Pieta immediately recognizes the will of extraordinary talent to refine its potential and achieve the ultimate result. In the presence of legends, one needs do little except marvel, and learn with delight and humility. When the legends are motorcycling's greatest racers and their warhorses, one understands how they transcend time.
Two of the very finest, highly pedigreed superbikes bred carefully by two very different Italian manufacturers take the term "exotica" to another level. These two machines are very much alike—though clearly very different. Varied interpretations on a theme, these storied Italian factories steeped in racing heritage arrive at almost exactly the same point, yet via very different routes. The lucky rider who gets to experience both machines will be absolutely spoiled for choice.

Health Reform
Implementing the ACA's Medicaid-Related Health Reform Provisions After the Supreme Court's Decision
On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). A majority of the Court also found the ACA's Medicaid expansion unconstitutionally coercive of states, while a different majority of the Court held that this issue was fully remedied by limiting the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary's enforcement authority. The practical effect of the Court's decision makes the Medicaid expansion optional for states.
This brief addresses questions that may arise for states in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, including what parts of the ACA are affected by the decision, whether states can opt in and out of the Medicaid expansion over time, whether federal payments to hospitals for uncompensated care will still be reduced if a state does not expand its Medicaid program, and whether the Court decision affects the ACA's maintenance of effort provisions.

Telecom major
Vodafone Group plc
) announced that its U.K. arm has reached 500,000 4G customers
within six months of the super-fast wireless technology launch.
The news bears testimony to the popularity of 4G and the quick
acceptance it is enjoying.
The U.K. based mobile operator has noticed that 4G customers
are using twice as much data as its 3G users owing to more usage
of this faster version of mobile network for video
streaming, video calling and m-commerce purpose. Vodafone's 4G
customers used 300 TB of data during December.
On Aug 29, 2013, Vodafone launched its 4G service in U.K.
along with O2, which is owned by Spanish wireless operator
). Although Vodafone launched its 4G service in the U.K. 10
months later than Everything Everywhere, the telecom behemoth has
outpaced its larger rival in hitting the half million 4G customer
Newbury based Vodafone's success can be attributable to its
efforts to diversify 4G offering by providing sizeable data
allowances along with a two year free subscription for either
Spotify Premium or Sky Sports Mobile TV.
Vodafone's 4G network currently covers 36% of the U.K. The
company will invest £900 million this year to ramp up its 4G
network and aims to cover 98% of Britain by 2015. That is quite
an ambitious target given the fact that 4G customers constitute
only a fraction of its total subscriber base, which stands at
419.4 million at the end of 2013.
4G is rapidly gaining momentum globally owing to demand for
high-speed wireless data services and mobile video. Unprecedented
progress of smartphones has only fuelled the demand. We believe
the rapid growth of 4G will boost the company's financial
performance given the higher ARPU generating capacity of the
wireless technology.
Recently, Vodafone reached an agreement with
Verizon Communications Inc.
) to sell its 45% interest in Verizon Wireless for $130 billion.
This enormous fund will be sufficient for Vodafone to expand its
4G network.
However, Vodafone still needs to go a long way before catching
up with Everything Everywhere, which is way ahead with 2 million
customers covering 70% of U.K.
Vodafone currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A
better-ranked stock within this sector includes
BT Group plc
), with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

"A Moment of Peace" is a collection of photographs taken in Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, India, and the UK.
Each captures a moment of light, of thought, movement or existence. Each is a meditation on travel.
But most of off all they capture simplicity, and in doing so capture beautiful moments that, once recognised, bring with them small moments of peace.

FORT WORTH, Texas For a time in Cold War America, Van Cliburn had all the trappings of a rock star: sold-out concerts, adoring, out-of-control fans and a name recognized worldwide. He even got a ticker-tape parade in New York City.
And he did it all with a piano and Tchaikovsky concertos.
The celebrated pianist played for every American president since Harry Truman, plus royalty and heads of state around the world. But he is best remembered for winning a 1958 piano competition in Moscow that helped thaw the icy rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Cliburn, who died Wednesday at 78 after fighting bone cancer, was "a great humanitarian and a brilliant musician whose light will continue to shine through his extraordinary legacy," said his publicist and longtime friend Mary Lou Falcone. "He'll be missed by all who knew and admired him, and (those) he never met."
The young man from the small east Texas town of Kilgore was a baby-faced 23-year-old when he won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow six months after the Soviets' launch of Sputnik embarrassed the United States and inaugurated the space race.
Cliburn returned to a hero's welcome and the ticker-tape parade — the first for a classical musician. A Time magazine cover proclaimed him "The Texan Who Conquered Russia."
The win also showed the power of the arts, creating unity despite the tension between the superpowers. Music-loving Soviets clamored to see him perform. Premier Nikita Khrushchev reportedly gave the go-ahead for the judges to honor a foreigner: "Is Cliburn the best? Then give him first prize."
In the years that followed, Cliburn's popularity soared. He sold out concerts and caused riots when he was spotted in public. His fame even prompted an Elvis Presley fan club to change its name to his. He also used his skill and fame to help other young musicians through the Van Cliburn International Music Competition, held every four years. President George W. Bush presented Cliburn with the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation's highest civilian honor — in 2003.

Decreasing Postoperative Complications by Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy During Esophageal Resection

- How to Read a Study Record
Surgery for cancer of the esophagus is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications. It has been shown that the risk of postoperative complications can be decreased by optimising the amount and type of infusion fluids given during surgery, steered by measurement of cardiac stroke volume, mostly done with a device called esophageal Doppler. This device can however not be used during this type of surgery. This study wants to test the hypothesis that postoperative complications in patients operated for esophageal cancer can be partially prevented by using a goal directed strategy for the administration of fluids and drugs influencing the heart and vessels, based on measurement of stroke volume by pulse wave analysis (FloTrac).

Carrie Bakken, member of a teacher professional partnership (TPP) that runs Avalon High School in Saint Paul, Minnesota, met with Duncan to describe how the TPP arrangement improves school conditions for teachers and students. She argued that when teachers are put in charge, very different types of schools emerge, and today's issues around tenure, compensation, and teacher evaluation are resolved.
Twenty years ago, when the late Albert Shanker, then president of the American Federation of Teachers, endorsed the notion of innovative schools operating outside conventional district bureaucracies, his aim was to put teachers at the helm. "If you want to hold teachers accountable," he posited, "then teachers have to be able to run the school." In the Spring 2009 Education Next, Beth Hawkins explores how some teachers are realizing his vision with the teacher professional partnership model championed by Education|Evolving.
There's growing interest in improving the "management of human capital" in K-12: teacher recruitment, retention, compensation, accountability, etc. Usually this suggests 'better administration.' Yet, these decisions might be better made by teachers running a professional partnership. This interview with teacher Carrie Bakken addresses how a partnership handles running a public school.
Richard Ingersoll argues: to upgrade teacher quality, schools need to go beyond just holding teachers more accountable. They need to give teachers more control.
Teachers could and should have the option to work—as many other professionals do—with colleagues in a professional group which they collectively own, with administrators working for them. This is the original report on the topic. An inventory of schools with teacher autonomy is available here.
Notes from an evening with a group of teachers, and the partners in a law firm and a medical clinic. The discussion about the relationship of professionals and administrators, in law and medicine, compared to the relationship of teachers and principal in a typical school, is fascinating especially with regards to authority and pay.
Ron Wolk, founder of Education Week, draws on his three decades in school reform to make the case for a "new schools" strategy, focused on individualized instruction instead of an assembly line approach to learning.

In the story, a human asks one of the Grays if their world (Orvan) has a moon. The Gray responds, by saying

If this
is an integral part of your story, then maybe we should look at it from a different perspective.
What if this planet has a sub-planetary body trapped in it's
L2 Lagrangian point
? This body could be in permanent eclipse and only noticeable as a spot in the night sky where you can't see any stars. Every so often, when the companion star is close enough in orbit, the body is illuminated in phases that look like our lunar phases. But for the majority of the time you just wouldn't see it unless you were really hunting for it in the sky.
Would something like that work?
Alternately, imagine a world where a sub-planetary body is trapped in the L1 Lagrangian point. If it were large enough it would provide a partial solar eclipse all the time. and in some places a near full eclipse (or at least make the Sun look like a big bright ring at high noon).
There are lots of interesting possibilities if you spend a little time studying orbital mechanics. The key thing is to try to imagine how such different dynamics might look when looking up at them in the sky.

Emanuel Chirico
Thanks, Robbie. We get started here. Safe Harbor, I'm sure as the lawyers have told me, I can tell you, you make sure you read this. It basically says about all our filings are online; they're available, financials, where we need. So just bring that to your attention as we go forward.
These are just talks about us from our performance post the Tommy transaction. How that has really changed us on a pro forma basis about $5.3 billion in revenues at the time of the acquisition. Today, the company consolidated guidance was to be about $5.8 billion to $5.9 billion in revenues.
When you look at how we are broken out as a company, this gives you a real sense of the business, 51% of our revenues are Tommy, 31% are Heritage, and about 20% is Calvin Klein. And when you look at the profitability, the point I'd really make here is that our Heritage business is over 80%, our Calvin and Tommy business represent over 80% of our profits. And by the time we get to the year-end this year, I'd expect it to be closer to 85%.
So the real story and the drivers of this business are really our Calvin and Tommy business. Our Heritage businesses are really one from a cash flow point of view. They delivered strong returns on invested capital, and at the same time they really have helped us make the acquisitions of both Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.
And when you think about us again, Calvin and Tommy being our growth brands. Our Heritage business is really being the part of the business that really just has helped us pay the bills. And we license a number of brands particularly with our dress shirt and neckwear business. I will get into this in more detail when I get into the presentation.
Calvin, this has been a real growth story. We bought this business back in 2003. At the time the brand was only about $2.5 billion in global retail sales. We will end this year in excess of $7 billion, close to $7.3 billion. That's a compounded top line growth rate of excess of 13%. This has been terrific acquisition for us as we've gone forward.
And at the same time, besides the top line growing at 13%, our bottom line in this business given the licensing business that we operate and some of the wholesale and retail businesses in North America, our bottom line is growing in excess of 20% during that period of time.
And this gives you a sense of the growth that we've seen from the $2.8 billion to the $6.7 billion, and we think there's clearly a significant growth going forward. We target from a financial point of view 8% to 10% top line growth for the business, which over the next three to four years would layer on about $2.5 billion of global retail sales.
We have been growing consistently in last three to four year closer to 13% to 14%. So the growth is being driven more internationally than domestic. We're growing probably almost twice as fast internationally as domestic. The business breaks out today on a sales base about 50% in the U.S. – in North America and 50% outside North America. And Asia representing just under 20%, South America representing just under 10%, and Europe representing just under 20% of the business.
So just to give you flavor for how the business breaks out from a branded point of view. It is a very profitable business, about $1 billion in sales made up of a two real key components. A business that we operate, wholesale sportswear business and a retail business throughout North America that does in excess of $600 million in volume, that's $650 million in volume and $350 million of licensing revenues and royalties, which is obviously a very profitable component. All together, our operating margins here are north of 25%, when you put it all together.
So we've really been able to see some significant top line growth. If we can grow the top line 8% to 10%, we're very comfortable growing the bottom line in this business closer to 15%, just the flow through based on the expense base that we had in the business.
Some of our biggest license categories and partners [Monaco], principally jeans and underwear worldwide, our largest licensing partner. About 38% of our overall royalties come from [Monaco]. I've really seen significant growth internationally. They've been a great partner for us as we've gone forward, they've really worked together with us marketing the brand, positioning it internationally and their own performance has been outstanding, and we've benefited for that growth collecting royalties as we have gone forward in positioning the brand internationally at a very high premium position. And it really served us well.

We were lucky enough to have a fine, sunny day when we recently travelled on the SS Earnslaw to Walter Peak Farm. My husband was fascinated by the steam engine on board the ship and I enjoyed the magnificent scenery along the way. Our Guide was most informative and entertaining when demonstrating both the sheep shearing and dog mustering techniques and our morning tea of scones and date loaf was made all the more enjoyable by the beautiful views from the old farm house verandah. I found Real Joirneys to be a most efficient Tour Company with all the tours we did with them during our stay in Queenstown. It is such a beautiful place to visit we are already planning our next trip.
