Beautiful photos, Thor. Looks like you had a terrific vacation. I bet the weather took a bit of adjusting for you, though?

No doubt, we had a great trip !

We went from -10 degress Celsius and snow - so the difference was rather big in weather. But, not so bad in southern and middle Madagascar were it was around 22-28C - Nosy Be was quite another story, with around 40C

For the Madagascar trip I only used the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro for reptiles (on a Nikon D700 body)

Beautiful as all of the others. I ate a lemur once and it was pretty darn good. Lol! I don't think i'd eat them again, too cute.
