The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries. The founder of the business was a Spanish nobleman, Don José Carreras Ferrer, who fought in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington (1808–1814). After serving and receiving the highest military honours, it is believed he was obliged to leave Spain on account of his political views.
In 1881, the first cigarette-making machine was patented in the United States by James Bonsack, and by 1883 one of the British manufacturers, W. D. & H. O. Wills, had pioneered the use of the Bonsack machine in England. Wills joined with twelve other companies to form the Imperial Tobacco Group, from which both Rothmans and Carreras chose to remain independent, and by 1901 the Bonsack machine, making 200 cigarettes a minute, was exclusively available only to members of this Group. Around this time another of the cigarette machine makers, Bernhard Baron, had returned to London from the United States in 1896 with a patent for a new machine which could make 450 cigarettes a minute. Baron's progress was watched with interest by Mr. Yapp who was by then running the Carreras business but who was keen to make cigarettes a paying venture.
Having been unable to sell his machines to the newly formed Imperial Tobacco Company, which had a monopoly on the Bonsack machines, Yapp was able to negotiate a business arrangement with Baron in 1903. On 6 June 1903, Carreras became a public company with Yapp and Baron as directors and, under the leadership of Bernhard Baron, heralded the beginnings of competition for the Imperial Tobacco Group and the new American maker, James Buchanan Duke, who was also capturing large slices of the British market with Ogden’s Guinea Gold, the first Virginia cigarette made in England. The original Carreras prospectus was heavily criticised in the City press, but within a short time, the shares were fully subscribed, particularly by members of the tobacco trade, who saw potential in the new venture. The Baron family had a reputation as good employers who treated their staff well.[citation needed] Bernhard Baron would walk amongst his employees daily, enquiring after their families, and his son, Louis, and his grandson, Maurice, also made regular visits to the factory floor. A tradition developed that on Bernhard's birthday, each December, all employees were given two weeks' wages and a cake to take home.
In 1904, an allied company was established. Called Carreras and Marcianus Ltd and operating from St James's Place, Aldgate EC3, the former Baron Machine Company works, the company’s purpose was to commence production of machine-made cigarettes. During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.
AirDrain Synthetic Grass Sports Field Drainage doubles as an unbeatable drainage layer and shock pad.
Installing the AirField System results in a more stable surface area and a more consistent GMAX across the project. AirDrain’s delivers a 14.7% reduction on cement and a 19% reduction on an aggregate base in GMAX. And that reduction and consistency will stay for the life of the field with AirDrain.
The result is a more stable surface area all but eliminating infill migration and inconsistent GMAX across the entire field, (which can drastically affect the safety of the players on project putting owners in an at risk liability scenario).
Unlike traditional shock pads / e-layer the AirDrain is 1″ high and has a 92% air void. This unmatched vertical and horizontal drainage all but eliminates standing water, even at a 1/2% slope.
No other product stacks and ships more compactly, reducing the number of trucks and the amount of fuel required to transport to a job site to 1 truck on a 95k sqft. project. Don’t forget shipping costs that goes to the bottom line ! AirDrain cant be beat!
There is a big difference between real world drainage on an installed project and some manufacturers claims of drainage per hour, where they run water through their product being held vertically in the air and claim drainage per hour. Remember you have to drain it vertically and them horizontally to the perimeter drains, that's drainage !
AirDrain drainage can’t be beat by anyone’s product period.
AirDrain’s strength and durability allow it to be used under multiple turf replacements on the project.
In a cost value and performance comparison there is only one choice, AirDrain!

Las tradiciones son sagradas porque cultivan consistencia y un sentido de pertenencia. Es el pan y la mantequilla para fomentar la conexión y la comunidad.
Estamos en un momento en que las tradiciones están siendo desafiadas y remezcladas. Nos preguntamos cómo llegaron a ser y el contexto de cómo (o si) encajan en el futuro.
“Así es como es” es una declaración de miedo, no de posibilidad. Socava la capacidad humana para adaptarse y crear cambios. Las tradiciones las hacemos nosotros, por lo tanto, se pueden reinventar con intención e imaginación.
Puede que no comience el próximo feriado nacional, pero puede aportar su generosidad, amabilidad, visión y corazón para crear un futuro más acogedor.
Nuestro capítulo de Barranquilla eligió la exploración de la tradición de este mes y Andrés Manjarres Felfle ilustró el tema.

“facellations” is a commentary on the way in which human beings have consistently and persistently covered almost every surface of the earth, a process that shares many similarities with the process of geometric tessellation. the artist was raised in a town of 650 people, has since lived in cities with progressively larger populations of 7500, 100000, 2 million, and currently resides in the the tokyo metropolitan area of 36 million. life in a metropolis of this size can really distort one’s sense of individuality within the greater population, and competition for personal space can feel aggressive.
「facellations」（フェイセレイションズ）は、人間が地表のほとんどを絶えず覆い尽くしてきた様子と、幾何学的な平面充填のプロセスに多くの共通点があることを表現しています。彼は、人口が650人の町で生まれ育ちました。以来、7500、1万、200万人と、人口がより多い都市へと移り住み、現在は3600万人の東京都心部に在住しています。これほど大規模な都市で生活していると、個性や自分らしさが失われてしまうこともあり、自分だけの空間を得ることは困難に感じられます。

Beachfront real estate holds a unique and enduring allure. With its spectacular views, direct water access, and emotional resonance, this niche property class consistently outperforms many other real estate sectors in long-term value retention. But close inspection reveals key mechanisms—tangibles and intangibles—that drive this phenomenon. This article explores all relevant factors: location desirability, scarcity, income generation, climate resilience, and buyer psychology.
1. Prime Location: The Foundation of Lasting Value
1.1 Access to Scenic Beauty & Lifestyle Amenities
Proximity to the ocean provides daily sensory benefits—sound of waves, sea breeze, panoramic views—and enhances lifestyle through water activities, coastal trails, and beachfront dining. These consistent lifestyle rewards underpin sustained demand.
1.2 Scarcity & Competitive Advantage
Beaches don’t expand, and fixed shoreline land means limited supply. Investors and second‑home buyers compete intensely for these finite plots. This scarcity, reinforced by zoning restrictions and environmental protections, naturally inflates and preserves value.
1.3 Urban Accessibility & Infrastructure Investment
Beachfront properties near well‑infrastructured areas—capable roads, airports, hospitals—command higher premiums. Areas with solid connectivity combine beach lifestyle with year‑round convenience, adding resilience to value appreciation.
2. Income Potential: Boosting Valuation Through Yield
2.1 Vacation Rentals & Seasonal Income
Beachfront homes attract high nightly rates—especially in peak season—fueling substantial cash flow. This yields not only short-term returns but elevates long-term valuation, as buyers often pay premiums for high-income potential.
2.2 Appreciation from Hospitality Investors
Institutional investors eye beachfront assets for short- and mid-term hospitality ventures: boutique hotels, serviced apartments. Their capital inflows raise prices across the market, reinforcing long-term stability.
2.3 Event Hosting & Ancillary Revenue
Many beachfront estates double as event venues—weddings, retreats, photo shoots—offering supplemental income streams that cumulatively elevate the asset’s marketability and appraisal.
3. Resilience & Adaptation: Weathering the Environmental Challenge
3.1 Climate Change and Mitigation
Rising sea levels and intensified storms pose real threats to coastal assets. Those retaining long-term value implement resilient design: raised foundations, seawalls, flood-resistant materials, and green infrastructure—all future-proofing the property.
3.2 Regulatory Compliance & Insurance Stability
Stricter coastal development policies force construction upgrades that, while initially costly, offer longevity benefits. Moreover, maintaining good standing with insurers—through adherence—preserves marketability and reduces financing friction.
3.3 Maintenance & Lifespan Management
Regular upkeep—painting, erosion control, storm prep—ensures integrity of structural systems. Buyers frequently assess maintenance logs before purchase; well-documented care supports long-term value retention.
4. Aesthetic and Architectural Appeal
4.1 Architectural Uniqueness & Local Heritage
Coastal homes featuring vernacular styles—like Bahamian shutters, Mediterranean arches—integrated with modern comfort, draw cultural value and emotional attachment, favorably impacting appreciation.
4.2 Sustainable and Resilient Design
Eco-friendly features (solar panels, rainwater harvesting, passive design) appeal both to modern buyers and align with environmental regulations—boosting desirability and potential for premium resale.
4.3 Interior Comfort & Health Focus
Seaside climates call for high-quality windows, mold-resistant materials, and superior ventilation systems—investments that consistently improve quality of life and resale appeal.
5. Buyer Psychology: The Emotional Edge
5.1 Emotional Connection & Lifestyle Buying
Beachfront properties are often purchased for reasons beyond financial return: escapism, family tradition, sense of freedom. These deep emotional drivers stabilize demand and minimize value volatility.
5.2 Status Symbol & Social Prestige
Ownership of beachfront real estate signifies success and sophistication. This aspirational appeal can motivate buyers to pay premiums, supporting valuation resilience.
5.3 Intergenerational Legacy & Wealth Transfer
Beachfront estates are commonly passed down, emphasizing long-term stewardship. These legacy intentions deter distress selling and maintain market relevance across generations.
6. Strategic Market Dynamics
6.1 Tourism Trends & Destination Strength
Regions with evolving tourism appeal sustain property demand. Crystal-clear waters, culinary culture, and art scenes perpetually draw global interest, reinforcing local real estate values.
6.2 Infrastructure Projects & Urban Investment
Coastal localities with new marinas, boardwalk renovations, or transit lines see correlated uplifts in beachfront pricing. Government or private infrastructure spend often precedes capital appreciation.
6.3 Currency & International Buyer Patterns
Weak domestic currency relative to international reserves can attract foreign buyers to coastal markets, injecting external capital—an economic buffer that stabilizes local real estate.
7. Living on the Côte d’Azur
The Côte d’Azur represents a textbook example of beachfront value retention. Iconic for its shimmering Mediterranean waters and glamorous lifestyle, it continues to be among the world’s most sought-after real estate corridors. Prospective buyers constantly search for the best beaches on the Côte d’Azur, drawn to locale-specific assets such as private beach clubs, cliff-side villas, and yacht-accessible harbors. This precise affinity—high-quality amenities along renowned shores—elevates property appeal and pushes long-term valuation upward. Explore a curated list of the best beaches on the côte d’azur and observe how quality beachfront experiences directly feed into sustained market strength.
8. Micro and Macro Risk Management
8.1 Local Governance & Zoning Law Protection
Coastal towns often enforce tight controls on development to preserve natural beauty. While this may restrict new builds, it sustains scarcity and long-term price appreciation.
8.2 Environmental Safeguards & Buffer Zones
Regulations requiring setbacks, dune protection, and wetland conservation reduce erosion risks, sometimes limiting yield but reinforcing property stability over decades.
8.3 Capitalization of Resilient Design
Buyers increasingly seek beachfront homes designed for future conditions—elevated living spaces, flood-proof materials, seawall integration. These investments reflect proactive value defense.
9. Financing, Insurance, and Ownership Structuring
9.1 Financing Complexity & Cost of Borrowing
Banks price in coastal risk—loan-to-value ratios may be lower and interest higher. Yet, a well-insured, well-maintained beachfront home often qualifies for specialized mortgage products, supporting resilient demand.
9.2 Insurance as a Strategic Asset Guard
Comprehensive coastal insurance isn’t just risk mitigation—it’s a value enabler. Properties with renewals uninterrupted by claims are more attractive and financeable.
9.3 Ownership Models that Elevate Value
Fractional ownership, trusts, and resort associations allow multiple stakeholders to share high-end beachfront properties while preserving exclusivity, lowering access barriers, and locking in valuation.
10. Value Through Diversification
10.1 Mixed-Use Coastal Developments
Integrated resorts—combining villas, retail, spa, leisure—create self-reinforcing demand ecosystems. Individual properties benefit from overall destination strength.
10.2 Amenities-Enriched Communities
Access to tennis courts, golf courses, cultural facilities, and wellness centers adds utility, attracting diverse buyer segments and bolstering long-term property positioning.
10.3 Technology-Driven Enhancements
Smart-home infrastructure, energy management systems, and digital concierge amenities optimize occupant experience and help properties command higher valuations.
11. Comparative Analysis: Beachfront vs. Inland Assets
11.1 Relative Market Volatility
Though more exposed to environmental variables, high-quality beachfront homes in regulated, affluent markets often experience lower price drawdowns compared to inland counterparts over the long term.
11.2 Rental Yield Gaps
Premium rental rates—especially in summer—outpace inland alternatives, making total return on investment markedly better, reinforcing price trends upwards.
11.3 Cultural & Historical Appeal
Beachfront homes with historical significance or those featured in film, literature, or celebrity portfolios carry intangible premiums that elevate value versus ordinary properties.
12. Buying and Owning beachfront: Best Practices
12.1 Due Diligence & Resilience Audits
Buyers should review flood maps, maintenance records, material specifications, and insurance history to gauge future-proofing quality.
12.2 Lifecycle Maintenance Planning
Creating multi-decade maintenance plans—proactively budgeting for storm damage, exterior repainting, foundation checks—is critical to preserve value.
12.3 Sustainable & Adaptive Improvements
Green upgrades—like coastal landscaping, solar shading, and wildlife-friendly development—appeal to future buyers and may qualify for incentives.
12.4 Exit Strategy Design
Owners should craft exit plans tied to tourism cycles, infrastructure milestones, or property enhancements to optimize timing of resale and value capture.
13. Global Outlook & Emerging Trends
13.1 Climate Migration & Coastal Wish
As urban dwellers seek climate-balanced lifestyles, coastal demand increases. Location-specific attributes—air quality, crowding, cultural richness—will differentiate value.
13.2 Tiered Coastal Segmentation
Ultra‑luxury markets (like Malibu, the Hamptons, Côte d’Azur) may outperform mid-tier coastal locales but overall coastal real estate remains a strong asset class due to scarcity and lifestyle factors.
13.3 Regulatory Innovation & Blue Economy
New coastal regulations prioritizing sustainable marine economies may raise costs but also drive quality upgrades—supporting prices long-term.
14. Conclusion
Beachfront properties maintain long-term value through a synergistic blend of location, scarcity, income potential, design quality, psychological appeal, risk adaptation, and strategic ownership. From the classic glamour of the best beaches on the Côte d’Azur to resilient, green-designed communities worldwide, this asset class continues to attract buyers and investors looking for both lifestyle and legacy.
Key Takeaways:
Location is unique and supply is fixed—securing base value.
Income and lifestyle yield support pricing.
Adaptation to climate and regulation future‑proofs investments.
Emotional and legacy factors enhance desirability.
High-end amenities and infrastructure layer compounding value, especially when observed in world-class markets like the Côte d’Azur.
By understanding and leveraging these multi-dimensional dynamics, buyers, investors, and policymakers can better ensure beachfront properties not only retain but strengthen value over time.
The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries. The founder of the business was a Spanish nobleman, Don José Carreras Ferrer, who fought in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington (1808–1814). After serving and receiving the highest military honours, it is believed he was obliged to leave Spain on account of his political views.
In 1881, the first cigarette-making machine was patented in the United States by James Bonsack, and by 1883 one of the British manufacturers, W. D. & H. O. Wills, had pioneered the use of the Bonsack machine in England. Wills joined with twelve other companies to form the Imperial Tobacco Group, from which both Rothmans and Carreras chose to remain independent, and by 1901 the Bonsack machine, making 200 cigarettes a minute, was exclusively available only to members of this Group. Around this time another of the cigarette machine makers, Bernhard Baron, had returned to London from the United States in 1896 with a patent for a new machine which could make 450 cigarettes a minute. Baron's progress was watched with interest by Mr. Yapp who was by then running the Carreras business but who was keen to make cigarettes a paying venture.
Having been unable to sell his machines to the newly formed Imperial Tobacco Company, which had a monopoly on the Bonsack machines, Yapp was able to negotiate a business arrangement with Baron in 1903. On 6 June 1903, Carreras became a public company with Yapp and Baron as directors and, under the leadership of Bernhard Baron, heralded the beginnings of competition for the Imperial Tobacco Group and the new American maker, James Buchanan Duke, who was also capturing large slices of the British market with Ogden’s Guinea Gold, the first Virginia cigarette made in England. The original Carreras prospectus was heavily criticised in the City press, but within a short time, the shares were fully subscribed, particularly by members of the tobacco trade, who saw potential in the new venture. The Baron family had a reputation as good employers who treated their staff well.[citation needed] Bernhard Baron would walk amongst his employees daily, enquiring after their families, and his son, Louis, and his grandson, Maurice, also made regular visits to the factory floor. A tradition developed that on Bernhard's birthday, each December, all employees were given two weeks' wages and a cake to take home.
In 1904, an allied company was established. Called Carreras and Marcianus Ltd and operating from St James's Place, Aldgate EC3, the former Baron Machine Company works, the company’s purpose was to commence production of machine-made cigarettes. During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.

Consistent snow started just past Summerland and was with us well into the next day. Thankfully we encountered no visibility issues on this section of trail. Got going mid-day, allowing snow to become more slushy. There was a well beaten boot path up and over the Gap. Used microspikes, trekking poles and slow-careful footing. No major issues other than a fast racing heart, which was also the case (for me) on a few other snow fields on the opposite side of the Gap. Saw several mountain goats (from afar) in this area.
Most of the descent into Indian Bar was under snow. Snow, snow, snow - did I mention it was snowy? 4.5 miles in the snow took most of the day. Long, slow miles when it comes to snow-hiking.
It felt so good to arrive at Indian Bar. Mostly because I was still alive (I joke, but I was a bit concerned about traversing the steeper snowy slopes).
The campsites at Indian Bar had begun to melt out but none provided enough space to allow for two tents. We decided to stay in the shelter, which has eight bunks (and no mice!). Met fellow Wonderland Trail hikers: a couple from Germany and a group of three from Seattle. We would share the trail and a few upcoming campsites with these groups.
I went to sleep feeling strong and capable. And, still very much excited.

During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.
This a second film with my Nikon F4 to test further of its numerous functions. In particular, I would like to test the DX ISO coding, the spot metering, and the motorized film rewind. During the first test film I used mostly my external lightmeter Minolta Autometer III to check that the metering of the camera was consistent with. Here, I decided I leave the Autometer at home and to use only the Nikon F4 metering.
The Nikon F4 was loaded with a Rollei RPX100 which is the former Agfa APX100 well-known for the particular large tone range. From view 1 to 24, the AF Nikkor lens 1:1.4 f=50mm was fitted with a Yellow screw-on 52mm filter and from view 25 to the end with a Hoya HMC anti-UV protection filter. A generic cylindric metal shade hood was used all the time.
The film sensitivity was set by the camera automatically from the DX code of the Rollei RPX100 35mm cartridge. The first test film was a Fomapan 200 which is not DX coded. The Nikon F4 allows a manual ISO setting. In the DX mode, if no cartridge is present or if a not DX-coded cartridge is inserted, a red LED is blinking and not action of the shutter is possible.
The spot metering in the Nikon F4 if located behind the mirror in the reflex chamber and combined with the CCD focus sensor. The the matrix and center averaged mode is operated by different photo-diodes in the removable DP-20 photometric viewer. I mostly used the spot metering mode in my usual way, privileging the shadows. I saw that the matrix mode gave very closed results. The measure were usually manually reported to the camera in the "M" mode except for one view (Nr. 3) where I left the Nikon choosing the shutter speed (approx. 1/3000s) according to the aperture (full aperture in this case f/1.4).
As for my medium-format session, I took a bit of time to note on a session ticket the main parameter (shutter speed, aperture, focusing distance). The weather was still very mild and sunny during all the session in the afternoon.

After completion, the film was rewound using the rewinding motor (lever R1 then lever R2). During the film rewind (manual or auto) the view counter decrements and I switched-off the R2 lever just arrived at zero. I terminated the process manual to keep the film leader outside the cartridge.
I then processed the film developed using 300 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 9min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta Auto Bellows with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic version 14 and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
The results show that the Nikon F4 spot metering is perfectly calibrated and consistent with my traditional way to determine the exposition. The DX coding. is operating correctly but no confirming indication of the ISO value is displayed on the camera (excepted the blinking red LED if the DX code is not correctly detected). As for all SLR's of this generation, a small window on the left-side of the camera back allows the reading of the film characteristics. All the light-tight foams are in perfect order for a camera of this age (35-year old).
Overall this second session with the Nikon F4 confirms that the camera is very pleasant to use despite its 1.7kg (fitted with its standard 1.4/50mm). The minimalistic Nikon neck strap remains comfortable and well proportionated to the camera. It's areal joy to use.

About the camera :
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grab underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.

The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries. The founder of the business was a Spanish nobleman, Don José Carreras Ferrer, who fought in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington (1808–1814). After serving and receiving the highest military honours, it is believed he was obliged to leave Spain on account of his political views.
In 1881, the first cigarette-making machine was patented in the United States by James Bonsack, and by 1883 one of the British manufacturers, W. D. & H. O. Wills, had pioneered the use of the Bonsack machine in England. Wills joined with twelve other companies to form the Imperial Tobacco Group, from which both Rothmans and Carreras chose to remain independent, and by 1901 the Bonsack machine, making 200 cigarettes a minute, was exclusively available only to members of this Group. Around this time another of the cigarette machine makers, Bernhard Baron, had returned to London from the United States in 1896 with a patent for a new machine which could make 450 cigarettes a minute. Baron's progress was watched with interest by Mr. Yapp who was by then running the Carreras business but who was keen to make cigarettes a paying venture.
Having been unable to sell his machines to the newly formed Imperial Tobacco Company, which had a monopoly on the Bonsack machines, Yapp was able to negotiate a business arrangement with Baron in 1903. On 6 June 1903, Carreras became a public company with Yapp and Baron as directors and, under the leadership of Bernhard Baron, heralded the beginnings of competition for the Imperial Tobacco Group and the new American maker, James Buchanan Duke, who was also capturing large slices of the British market with Ogden’s Guinea Gold, the first Virginia cigarette made in England. The original Carreras prospectus was heavily criticised in the City press, but within a short time, the shares were fully subscribed, particularly by members of the tobacco trade, who saw potential in the new venture. The Baron family had a reputation as good employers who treated their staff well.[citation needed] Bernhard Baron would walk amongst his employees daily, enquiring after their families, and his son, Louis, and his grandson, Maurice, also made regular visits to the factory floor. A tradition developed that on Bernhard's birthday, each December, all employees were given two weeks' wages and a cake to take home.
In 1904, an allied company was established. Called Carreras and Marcianus Ltd and operating from St James's Place, Aldgate EC3, the former Baron Machine Company works, the company’s purpose was to commence production of machine-made cigarettes. During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.

As esculturas representadas na imagem caracterizadas pelas suas formas de pé, vestes e estilo medieval distinto, são altamente consistentes com as descrições das figuras originais do Portal Ocidental do Mosteiro da Batalha.
As suas características artísticas, nomeadamente os panejamentos pesados e fluidos, as expressões solenes e a estética gótica geral, alinham-se precisamente com as obras do século XV atribuídas a Huguet e à sua oficina. É evidente que estas não são obras contemporâneas, nem se alinham com o foco temático do CIBA.
Estas temático do CIBA.
Estas figuras originais que outrora adornaram o exterior da fachada principal do Mosteiro. A própria imagem, que mostra as esculturas num ambiente controlado, semelhante a um museu, com um fundo escuro e minimalista e o que parece ser iluminação especializada, fornece fortes evidências visuais do seu atual ambiente de exposição.
É crucial compreender que as esculturas originais do Portal Ocidental já não se encontram in situ na fachada. Após extensos esforços de restauro no século XIX, durante os quais muitos elementos originais degradados foram substituídos por cópias para garantir a integridade estrutural e estética do monumento, estas valiosas peças originais foram cuidadosamente removidas.
Atualmente, estão "guardadas na coleção do Mosteiro". Esta exibição interna assegura a sua conservação a longo prazo, protegendo-as da degradação ambiental. As esculturas na imagem são exemplos primordiais destes originais preservados internamente, oferecendo aos visitantes uma oportunidade única de apreciar a arte original de perto, um detalhe muitas vezes perdido ao observar as cópias no exterior.
Exemplos de tais originais preservados incluem alguns dos apóstolos e um anjo músico. A observação destas esculturas num ambiente controlado, em contraste com a sua localização original ao ar livre, ilustra uma evolução significativa nas práticas de conservação.
Esta abordagem reflete uma mudança de foco na mera restauração da aparência externa do monumento para o reconhecimento e priorização do valor intrínseco histórico e artístico dos fragmentos originais, levando à sua remoção e exibição cuidadosa em ambientes internos. Este reavaliação do valor é um aspeto fundamental da gestão do património moderno.

Hamburgers are consistently in our menu...at least once a week. Although it seems my husband would eat them seven nights a week if I'd let him. 😉

I am making this photostream a little serious and boring i believe. But I have to put this up just for the message that i inferred from this. The shop is a selling place for rag pickers. While I stood in front of the shop with a camera in my hand taking a snap, i was blocked by the owner who unfortunately was a lady (if i can call her that !!) with a big mouth. I had to speak in the sweetest of voices just to assure that i am doing her no harm and that i am incapable of scheming. This is how well you defend if you have little, i think.
I dont mean to say that the balance here symbolizes the present state of affairs as far a wealth is concerned in the country. But the situation is not so bright in the reality outside. We are far from finding a tool to making the balance look more balanced.
