It used to be a pub. The Sun Inn offered everything the traveller needed including accommodation and a beer garden behind the building. These days, pubs are being converted into residential homes and developers make sure that the yard behind is turned into accommodation too, rental or other.

On the left, Ockre developer (rochelle salt/tungstate mixture) untoned.
On the right, short gold toning with the aim of achieving a cool highlight colour while retaining reddish shadows. The desired highlight colour is achieved after just one and a half minutes in the MT10 gold toner; the shadows are not yet completely toned, but are already significantly cooler.

Lead acetate toner 1,75% 2:45 minutes.
Although the development time was longer here, the image appears flawless (no snowballs, no marble structures). Snowballs tend to occur in homogeneous areas. With negatives that have a structured background, such as here, the above-mentioned faults do not occur, or only after a much longer development time.

Typical Appalachian cove forest with Rhododendron maximum in bloom, Chinquapin Mountain Trail, Nantahala National Forest.
Name suggested by a comment from Cadeyrn Drust: these cove forests can be heavenly, until you have to bushwhack through the Rhododendron understory (whence the name "Rhododendron hell" to describe an Appalachian heath bald).

The Gruffy, Sanderstead is a small park with a pond and a few benches. It sits at the top of Sanderstead Hill, between the main Limpsfield road and All Saints church.
From www.croydon.gov.uk/libraries-leisure-and-culture/parks-an...:
The area around the pond and church once constituted Sanderstead Village, until in 1799 the squire added the village green to his park, a process of enclosure that went on in Sanderstead during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1958‐60 Sanderstead Archaeological Group excavated in the vicinity of the pond and found traces of a 17th century lodge‐house and further digging revealed the presence of man as far back as the Mesolithic Period, nearly 12000 years ago. Pottery fragments dated between 100 AD ‐ 1300 AD, a bronze belt‐end of saxon era was also found.

I don't know if it's the film or the developer or the combination, but I love how the little purple flowers (maybe rockcress?) pop and how all of the colors have an almost hand-painted look to them.
The open spaces had been taken over by the yellow flowers (I'm not sure - maybe yellowcress? If so, they're early and kind of out of place.) I don't remember seeing these flowers here before. But maybe I'm just forgetting.
I took this on my second of three hikes over the weekend. This was a short morning hike I did - just two miles - atop a plateau. Regular viewers might recall "Pillbox rock." This is the formation just to the north of it. It's relatively long. This is looking north at its south end.
This was the last photo I took on that particular hike. I nearly didn't take this because of the clear sky and how much it resembles a larger Pillbox Rock. But why not show off the color a bit?

The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.
One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.
For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.
