Another windy day down on the beach.
I'm ignoring the lighthouse for a change and exploring these pools further down the beach.

'Flippie' is the big black and white cat from a few houses away from where I live now. I have a bond with it that is actually kind of telepathic. When I think of him and ask him if he would like to come and visit me some more, it takes a few days and there he is ! It started a few years ago. He came up to my kitchendoor and then when I opened it, and after a rather short greeting on his part, he walked straight in; found my livingroom and placed himself on my couch, slept for a few hours and than left again. This repeated itself. Sometimes with weeks or months of no visits. Yet he knows me and greets me when I see him walking through the neigborhood. One day I walked through our street and saw him sitting inside his real home, in the windowsill behind the glass. I greeted him and said some words that he might not even have heard. Then the same day or the next: there he was again. Standing on the flood defense of my kitchen window, looking through the glass wanting to be invited in..I hadn't received a visit from him in months !
Uno de mis viaductos más queridos de la fantasmal línea Baeza-Utiel, con 160 metros de curva, sus arcos a dos alturas con 9 ojos arriba y 3 abajo. 1932, el año de su construcción, orgullosamente esculpido en sus pilares junto al escudo de los ingenieros.
Entre 1992 y 1993, cuando después de seis décadas finalmente le arrancaron los raíles a la vía, además de toda esperanza tiraron también por la borda las traviesas bibloque de hormigón.
One of my most beloved viaducts of the Baeza-Utiel ghost line, with 160 meters long in curve and its arches at two heights, 9 eyes above and 3 below. 1932, the year of construction, proudly sculpted on its pillars. When the rails were pulled from the track in the 90's, the concrete sleepers were threw overboard, and with them several decades of agony of a train that would never pass through there.
I haven't been out shooting in a while, so I've been digging through my own archives to give some images a second look. I came across this image from my Prairie trip that I'd never processed. This is St. Ascension Ukrainian church, now sadly unused. If you'd like, you can take a look at more images from my Prairie adventure.

*Bluenose II is a perfect replica of the Bluenose which was a Canadian schooner from Nova Scotia, a celebrated racing ship and a symbol of the province. The name "bluenose" originated as a nick-name for Nova Scotians. Bluenose was launched at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia on March 26, 1921, as both a working cod-fishing schooner and a racing ship.

Playing with my new camera Sony A7R II. Not moving away from Canon 60D but adding Sony to my gears list :) Amazing camera with so many features I've been looking for.
For my likes of old lenses, it's just an another world to explore using those Minolta glasses and playing with adapters to use all kinds of lenses.
Key features that I looked for:
1. In-body stabilization (hand-held 1/15th sec looks sharp!)
2. 42 MP - helps post-composing the frame!
3. High ISO & Dynamic Range.
A lateral iew of the Anthaxia fulgurans beetle from previous post. And that's all the images of jewel beetles I've got... for now. :)
Info: Canon 5D Mark II, Canon MP-E 65 lens
49 natural light exposures at f5.0, ISO 100
