Hadrian Wall

 

On my first trip to the Hadrian Wall, after 3 years being 'stationed' in the North East. The weather was horrendous, gusts of wind and horizontal rain. It was impossible to stay more than a few minutes out... I thought about those poor Roman soldiers in ancient times. As it turned out, though, reading the captions in the small museum nearby, they were mostly German troopers, probably the only ones who could withstand the weather for long periods.

 

The landscape is great though, but I guess I will have to wait for milder weather.

 

This roll of film took some light when I opened the camera thinking that I had already rewinded the whole film. Then there was some more messing up from the photolab, who scanned some half frames together (look the unintentional dyptich below) probably due to my early mistake.
