We got back to my daughter's neighborhood around dinner time, so we grabbed her guy and went out to a nearby restaurant located in an old railroad roundhouse at the base of this hill. The roundhouse had been built in 1887 and remodeled into restaurants and shops in 2009, and its proximity to the smoke stack you see here behind the fancy new townhouses suggests the trains in the roundhouse hauled a lot of gold.
I mentioned that smokestack in the first picture I posted of this neighborhood. This stack is the last remaining piece of the Golden Cycle Mill, a processing mill that separated gold from the raw ore the prospectors mined up in places like Red Mountain and Silverton. The mill opened in 1905, and according to the internet, it processed about 40% of all the gold that ever came out of Colorado. That works out to about 240 US tons of pure gold extracted over the mill's 43 years of operation, which doesn't sound like much, but they had to run through about 20 million tons of raw ore to get it.
Now the stack anchors a quick-build housing development. They're going to build an amphitheater at is base.
Side Note: People tend to overestimate the amount of gold that exists in the world, anyway. All the gold ever mined in all the history of the world adds up to about 216,000 tons of gold. Melt all that gold into a single cube, and it would be 73 feet on a side. That's really not very much gold at all.
I developed this film using QWD ECN-2 chemistry. It's a long story about a gift of 4 Silbersalz rolls that should have included developing and scanning back in Stuttgart. Instead, the film took a round trip from New York to Frankfurt, getting stuck in German customs for months with indifferent support from Silbersalz. So upon their return to me, I developed and scanned them myself. QWD makes a great product for home development of Vision3.
I was moving around while my aunt was doing her part on the honorary guest part. Tih boy was wanting to be filmed very badly and was trying every means he could think of.
I think he was quite cute with this flower.
The Colonial Spanish Horse developed from animals of various breeds and types first brought from the Iberian peninsula to the Caribbean within the first 30 years of Conquest of the New World. The Spanish Mustang is a descendant of the Spanish horses brought from Cuba, Hispanola, and other islands during the conquest and establishment of the Spanish colony of New Spain in what today is Mexico. They are a direct remnant of the horses of a type that is mostly or wholly extinct now in Spain. As the conquest of Mexico progressed during the 16th century, horse herds spread north and crossed the Rio Grande. Over the next one hundred years, horses in the Americas were stolen and traded by the Apache, Comanche, and later the Utes and Shoshoni to various tribes across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. Lewis and Clark received horses, later claimed to be Spanish Mustangs, from the Shoshoni, and said they owed much of the success of their expedition to the horses.
Spanish Mustang developed as a distinct type during the 17th and 18th centuries, prior to the arrival of English-speaking American settlers on the Great Plains. By the late 19th century, the advance of farming onto the Great Plains threatened the existence of the Spanish Mustang, as this horse was deemed too small to be useful for the farm work. Both farmers and ranchers introduced taller and heavier horses into wild herds to create a different type of animal more suitable to the immediate needs of settlers. Thus various draft horse breeds, Morgans, Thoroughbreds, and other animals were crossed into the mustang herds.
On the brink of extinction in the early part of this century, the salvation of the original Spanish type can be attributed primarily, but not exclusively, to Ferdinand L. Brislawn and his brother Robert E. Brislawn of Oshoto, Wyoming, who founded the Spanish Mustang Registry, Inc. in 1957. Two full brothers, Buckshot and Ute, were his first foundation stallions, sired by a buckskin stallion named Monty and out of Ute Reservation blood on the dam's side. Monty, captured in 1927 in Utah, escaped back to the wild in 1944, taking his mares with him. He was never recaptured.
Developing tornado in Illinois in 2010. First thought it was a Roll Cloud, but it did slowly rotate and touched down shortly after I took this photo. It caused minor to moderate damage, F2 tornado.
Can you believe that a beautiful place like this is under threat from a proposed quarry !
Apparently, Nelson Aggregates has a quarry license application which falls within this area, one of the most sensitive parts of the Greenbelt.
How could anyone allow a quarry to be placed here?

On September 7, 2024, at the annual photo fair of Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure, France, I found this Meyer-Optik Görlitz lens Oreston 1:1.8 f=50mm in M42 mount that I wanted to associate to my Praktica IV SLR camera body.
The lens was in acceptable condition for 20€ in the range range of price of my Praktica IV. Both were manufactured in Dresden, Germany in the year 1960’s. Oreston lens was marketed starting from 1965 in order to equip, in particular, the Praktica Nova that was anticipated to be produced massively by Pentacon for exportation (zeissikonveb.de/start/objektive/normalobjektive/oreston.html).
Oreston was a modern normal lens 6-lens double Gauss type, capable to compete with other foreign productions of that time, with a large aperture, automatic diaphragm mechanism, and optical performances that could not rival to Zeiss Jena productions (as the Flexon and Pancolar) but still very near at medium apertures.
For testing the lens, I loaded a 36-exposure black-and-white Fomapan 100.In the Praktica IV equipped with the Oreston lens. The lens was equipped a generic Yellow 49mm screw-on filter and a cylindrical modern shade hood for the views taken. The expositions were determined for 64 ISO instead of the nominal 100 ISO to compensate the filter light absorption, using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas or with the integrative dome for measurement of the incident light.

After complete exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+50 at 20°C for 9 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg plus some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the Praktica IV camera :
I got the camera body Praktica IV and a set of related KDH Leipzig accessories from an eBay seller near Paris, France.. The whole arrived to me on January, 31, 2024, in Lyon, France.
The Praktica IV was designed by the prestigious KW (Kamera Werk Niedersedlitz) German company in Dresden on the basis of their previous Praktica FX SLR camera's. The camera was produced first under the KW name starting from June 1959 then within the Kombinat VEB Pentacon after the merge of the company in 1960.
166.800 Praktica IV and V (6 models) were produced until January 1966. Praktica IV essentially incorporates a condenser focusing screen plus a pentaprism. Due to the Praktica FX architecture the Pentaprism looks protruding from the camera body with an unusual style. It fits lenses with M42x1 mount and the mirror has no automatic return. The shutter is made of two horizontal curtains of rubberized fabric giving 1/500s to 1/2s plus B in two registers of slow speeds (1/2s to 1/10s) and high speeds (1/25s to 1/500s). The film is advanced coupled to the shutter cocking using either the right upper button or the rapid lever underneath the body.
The Praktica IV handles the "Auto" M42 lenses with the lever for automatic iris closing upon the release. Sequentially, when pressing the shutter release button, the diaphragm closes to the indicated value, the mirror is lift-off and finally the shutter is erased at the given value. If a non-auto (manual closing) M42 is used the pushing lever could be cancelled (declutched) moving a small red button to the right in the mirror chamber.
The camera camera came without lens but with a body cap and the original ever-ready leather bag with et "Ernermann tower" Pentacon logo. This model is likely the second Praktica IV essentially the same as the initial KW one with a different front plate. The camera was likely art of a collection and is completely preserved without use marks.
The KDH Leipzig (Kurt-Dieter Huffziger Foto- und Kinozubehör) accessories set included:
-A panoramic tripod head
-A set of three extension tubes M42x1)
- A big aluminum shade hood (screw-on 49mm) for wide-angle lens.
- A M42x1 metal body cap in its original box.
- An accessory shoe fitting the the Praktica IV eye piece.

5x7" safelight filters, numbers 901 (yellow, for slow contact papers) 906 (red, for orthochromatic materials) and 908 (very dark green for panchromatic materials). Number 902 (brown, for ordinary papers and MG papers) is on order.
These are actually labelled "Darkroom Safelights". There is no word "filter". In other words this was what you were supposed to buy and the rest would be home-made. The paper instructions give the barest of hints of how to make the rest, and it was understood that if you were clever enough to operate a darkroom you would be able to put together an electric light easily enough. That's how I've done mine.

Developed in Rodinal 1:100 for 20 minutes
Buffalo, NY
I went on a bike ride last weekend to Delaware Park. I figured I hadn't taken the Mamiya out in a while, so I dragged it along to make sure it was still working as well as it had the last time I used it.
While sitting at a picnic table, a small bit of light came through the trees and dropped a spotlight onto this single leaf, and the tiny fly sitting on the leaf. I couldn't resist.
developed in the 50s as Britains main air defence, bet the contents of that truck could fit in a suitcase nowadays!

Capstone, along with its partner Quadrangle Development, is currently developing a mixed use project on a site located at 9th Street NW and L Street NW. The $230 million project includes a 310-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel, a 190-room Residence Inn by Marriott hotel, and 230 residential units. The project is located in the Shaw Historic district and includes the redevelopment of a number of historic buildings located along 9th Street NW. Capstone recently completed the PUD process and is currently overseeing the design and financing of the project, which is projected to break ground in 2015.
Let’s say, in a few years, you’re searching for a hotel room adjacent to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and the swanky Marriott Marquis is full.
No problem. Maybe there’s a vacancy at the Courtyard Marriott next door. Or, perhaps, the Residence Inn by Marriott, next door.
Quadrangle Development Corp., as QC 369 LLC, has submitted a planned-unit development application to construct a 570,000-square-foot, 12-story building at Ninth and L streets NW, adjacent to the new Marriott Marquis. The $230 million project, called Columbia Place, will contain a hotel (really, two hotels, both Marriotts) and multifamily residential.
The site owner is (wait for it) Marriott International Inc. The project architects are Cooper Carry and TVS Design. The developer, Quadrangle, also worked with Marriott on the 1,175-room Marquis, which opened last month.
“Overall, the proposed development will significantly improve the existing area by virtue of the exceptional architectural design of the building, which carefully considers the nearby uses and aesthetics,” per the PUD application. “The proposed PUD will provide new housing and hotel opportunities to District residents, will put additional ‘eyes and ears’ on the street, and will create an improved pedestrian experience along 9th and L Streets, N.W.”
One part of the $230 million structure will contain a 124-room, extended stay Residence Inn by Marriott and a 377-room Courtyard Marriott, though the two will have separate entrances, both fronting L Street. The Residence Inn will include a restaurant and bar, 11 meeting rooms, a fitness center, internal courtyard with fire pit and “optional yoga deck,” and a retail space accessed from Ninth Street NW.
The 200-unit residential building, comprising studios, one- and two-bedroom units, will be located on the western side of the site, rising to a height of 110 feet. The Lurgan Building at 919 L will be retained and converted into 15 units. The new structure will have a rooftop recreation space and pool deck with a grill area, fire pit, lounge seating and “chess board turf.”
Quadrangle plans to demolish two historically contributing buildings, 911 and 913 L St. NW, while incorporating portions of nine other historic but dilapidated buildings into the development.
The project will be built in two phases, the hotel first followed by the residential.
The local advisory neighborhood commission unanimously backed the conceptual design and massing plan as it went through the Historic Preservation Review Board process earlier this year.
