More in my homage to art. Don't know if this fits with impressionism, but I like it. The boy was so keen to help me make it work. I think we did a good job.

ISLAND
Vilamendhoo island is on the south-east edge of the South Ari Atoll. This area has some of the best dive sites in the Maldives. The island is a uniform oval shape and as a result quite samey all the way round. It is not the prettiest island we have ever been to, but it does have everything you ever need on a Maldives holiday, and that counts for a lot.....hence this is our third visit here.
DIVING/SNORKELLING
Vilamendhoo has the best dive centre, the best diving and some of the best snorkelling in the Maldives.....no contest! That is the big selling point of this island, there is a huge amount of diving going on here! When we were there the dive centre was being run by Sonja, she is married to Illy a Maldivian divemaster, an amazing couple. Sonja doesn't dive too much now but Illy is a great guy to dive with. They have two or three dive boats going out every day and the dive sites are spectacular, there is even a manta point on the other side of the atoll. I only did ten dives this time but unfortunately managed to format the SD Card that had most of my dive photo's on so not many dive pic's to put in the album for this holiday!
MEALS
The Maldive islands have no agriculture or industry, they have to import everything so it constantly amazes us how they manage to provide us with such a huge variety of great meals. When we are in the Maldives breakfast is always the best meal of the day and on Vilamendhoo it is no exception. We like to get up around 5:00am for coffee then go out for a run around the island while the sun comes up.....a stunning time of the day! Generally we have the beach to ourselves so it's like having your own private island. After the run we will cool off with a bit of snorkelling in the lagoon or out to the drop off. Cooling off is a relative term considering the water here is around 30 degrees all year round! All that gives you a fantastic appetite, hence our love of breakfast. We stayed at the adults only end of the island this year and the views from both sides of their restaurant here are breathtaking. What a start to the day!
WEATHER
Expect it to be hot and sunny. This holiday, like most of our visits to the Maldives, was in late December. Although the wet season used to be over by the end of November the seasons are changing here, as they are in other places around the globe, so if you're unlucky it can still be a bit unsettled in December.
MALDIVES
The climate is perfect this time of year, you just have to put up with a few stray showers. For a totally relaxing beach holiday the temperatures are absolutely perfect in the Maldives, around 30 degrees, day and night. The evenings are slightly balmy.....perfect for the tee shirt, shorts and the 'No News No Shoes' uniform of the Maldives. The water temperature is always around 30 degrees and it is the same 30 metres down, maybe dipping to 28 degrees in their coolest season. This area of the world is just stunning, there is simply nowhere else like it. You have to be prepared to relax here, there is not much to do except snorkelling, diving, reading and sunbathing. But if you can get into that vibe, the Maldives slows you down like no other place on earth.....then you are in chillout heaven!

Here're some thoughts and impressions on D700 from a few weeks use.
1. big and heavy (compared to my Eos Xsi)
2. but sturdy and reliable, at least it feels
3. out-of-camera jpeg are HELL and almost useless (but doesn't really matter to me)
4. raw images are a lot better, but below my expectation (maybe I expected too much)
5. DR is far below my expectation. Wide DR was a big selling point to me. Dxo Mark claims it has 2 EV wider DR than Eos xsi, but my experience in the filed and some systematic testing (I'll post it later. I found very interesting differences between two cameras) are not quite convincing. Probably it has a better DR than Eos Xsi, but not that great extent. It'd be a good idea to slightly underexpose every time bright objects are in the frame because it makes managing highlight easier and noise levels in dark areas are impressively low in D700, so that you can compensate dark area in raw processing.
6. it is GREAT to have free wireless flash without additional equips.
7. It works great with Voigtlander MF lens thanks to brighter/bigger VF and accurate focusing indicator. MF is a lot easier in D700 than in Eos Xsi.
8. LCD screen is great, but tend to tint yellow. I'm not sure if it's a jpeg processing problem or LCD problem. Probably both.
9. above combined with poor jpeg quality, reviewing images on LCD truly SUCKS. It makes shooting less enjoyable. But images (I mean raw converted) are much much better on computer monitors.
10. ISO performance is very impressive. I think this is the biggest strength of this camera.
I'm not so impressed by this camera especially in DR. Moreover, more than 3 times higher price tag than Eos Xsi is not so well justified. The sensor in d700 is ranked 7th in Dxo mark among all sensors tested, including medium format digitals. I'll try to believe that and make myself convinced. Anyway it's still one of the best FF DSLR on the market with affordable prices (D3 series are beyond my scope. They are ridiculously expensive). DR of d700 was not that impressive in that highlight recovery in d700 does not quite confirm 2EV advantage over Eos Xsi claimed in many DSLR review sites. I'm sure I'd be sad when d700 successor comes out, considering massive DR of d7000 and pentax K-5 (they are supposedly using the same Sony sensors). Their DR are claimed around 14EV which is almost DR of negative film. At that point upgrading to d700's successor would be very tempting.
I'll update this post if I come up with more.

We saw an amazing show tonight. Directed by the man who created the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies, it takes place in an open theater on the edge of the Li River, with the karst mountains as a natural backdrop. The music, lighting, and costumes are amazing, although I have no idea what the story was about. Best of all, the show's 600 performers are all local farmers and their families. A brilliant conception.
