I was offered a Fujica ST701 the other day. It had a Kodak Gold 200 inside, which I exposed. Here's the best shot from that serie. It looks like the lens is very good.

Detail, Mausoleum, Monmartre Cemetery, Paris.
This was the most amazing mausoleum I have ever seen!
Each side had panels. He must have perished in a ship accident.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Montmartre Cemetery (French: Cimetière de Montmartre) is a famous cemetery located at 37 Avenue Samson, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Cemeteries had been banned from Paris since the shutting down of the Cimetière des Innocents in 1786, as they presented health hazards. Several new cemeteries replaced all the Parisian ones, outside the precincts of the capital, in the early 19th century: Montmartre in the north, Père Lachaise Cemetery in the east, Passy Cemetery in the west and Montparnasse Cemetery in the south.
Located west of the Butte, near the beginning of Rue Caulaincourt in Place Clichy, the cemetery in the Montmartre quarter of Paris is built below street level in the hollow of an old quarry with its entrance on Avenue Rachel under Rue Caulaincourt. The cemetery epitomizes the artsy, quixotic, gentle, almost whimsical Paris that every romantic visitor secretly cherishes.
A popular tourist destination, it is the final resting place for many famous artists who lived and worked in the Montmartre area.

Nunhead Cemetery was the last of London’s big 7 I visited in my initial run (for those counting there’s one more, but at the time of writing covid restrictions mean I can’t plan a visit to the last one yet) and I saved one of the best to last. There’s a huge variety of spectacular monuments over a huge area on all the main paths, but the real pleasure was getting off the main paths to find numerous hidden gems on many of the lesser used woodland paths.
Being a little more out of the way than some of the other magnificent seven this is one that could be passed over, or overlooked, but that would be a mistake as it easily holds up with some of the best free to enter cemeteries I’ve done.
The Texas State Cemetery is locate just east of downtown Austin, Texas. It is about 22 acres and is the final resting place of some of Texas most notable citizens including Stephen F.

I like taking macro close ups of flowers, and also I like landscape photography. I don't believe in using photo editing software, although I am not against others using it, if they wish to, I have on rare occasions used it, but mostly what you see, is what I have taken as a photographer, and not spicing it up with software, or cropping the photo up, as I believe I should take the photo good enough in the first place, that I don't need photo editing software. This photo has had no editing software after it was taken, it's as I took it from the camera.

Père Lachaise Cemetery (French: Cimetière du Père-Lachaise; officially, cimetière de l'Est, "East Cemetery") is the largest cemetery in the city of Paris, France (48 ha, 118.6 acres),[1] though there are larger cemeteries in the city's suburbs.
Père Lachaise is in the 20th arrondissement, and is reputed to be the world's most-visited cemetery, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to the graves of those who have enhanced French life over the past 200 years. It is also the site of three World War I memorials.
The cemetery is on Boulevard de Ménilmontant. The Paris Métro station Philippe Auguste on line 2 is next to the main entrance, while the station called Père Lachaise, on line 3, is 500 metres away near a side entrance. Many tourists prefer the Gambetta station on line 3 as it allows them to enter near the tomb of Oscar Wilde and then walk downhill to visit the rest of the cemetery.
A general view of Congressional Cemetery, looking roughly west, from the shelter by the entrance. It had just started raining as we arrived, unfortunately. There are a couple of dogs visible in this photo.
West Hill Church was built in 1905. It held services until 1983. A new church was built and the old church closed it's doors. In 2005 the cemetery suffered some vandalism having some 100 headstones pushed over and some damaged beyond repair. My wife organized a gathering of residence and companies along with the police and firefighters and rebuilt the graveyard and headstones. She also repaired the interior of the 100 year old church. The old church reopened it's door on it's 100th anniversary and held 1 more Sunday service and a wedding. It has been closed ever since that day. Well unexpectedly I got inside today to look around and i just happened to have my camera
April 12, 2015 - For over 300 years this was the only burial ground permitted for Jews in Prague. The last burial occurred in 1787. It is thought that over 100,000 people were laid to rest here, due to lack of space bodies were buried one on top of the other and records indicate there are up to twelve layers.
I found this quote online about the hand gesture:
Hands with thumbs (and sometimes forefingers) joined. On Jewish tombstones you will sometimes see a symbol showing two hands arranged for the priestly blessing. This is a symbol of the kohen (Hebrew for "priest"). The plural form is kohanim. Kohanim are assumed to be direct male descendants of Aaron, who was the first kohen and the brother of Moses. Some Jewish surnames frequently associated with this symbol are Conn or Cohn (Kohn), Cahn (Kahn), and Cohen (Kohen), but you will find the symbol on the grave markers of people with other surnames. Today families can sometimes verify a priestly lineage from the tombstones of ancestors that have this symbol.
