Got some expired film from the car boot sale, in Edinburgh, a few weeks ago, tried out the Kodak Ultra 400 ISO today.
Zenit B with Helios 44-2 58mm f2.
Was going to go for a walk to take photos, but ended up shooting two rolls just in the garden. There was a butterfly "trapped" in the shed - it could easily have gone out the gap in the doorway but, but of course, it fluttered by the window for ages instead. Eventually managed to usher it out the door, but unfortunately it was already way too late for its buddy :(

I decided to insulate my vermiculite-ridden attic myself. So on went the party clothes and respirator.
The men came crawling out of the woodwork.
I'm so hot.

Example of layered asbestos insulation on a large, elevated water tank, approx. 20ft-length x 6ft-diameter. The tank has been abandoned and out-of-service for many years resulting in improper maintenance and subsequent deterioration of the friable asbestos insulation materials.
The inset image shows a visible area of the corroded tank surface and components of the outer asbestos insulation which is comprised of two layers of thick-gauge corrugated paper sheets with a layer of troweled-on asbestos "mud" and a canvas covering.

(I would hate to see their heating bill.)
Another version of H.W. Johns' antique illustration of asbestos insulation being applied onto boiler and pipe. This version shows additional illustration toward the right portion of the frame (rolled aircell, etc.), but less detail on the left side (missing ladder worker, etc.). This illustration is from a different H.W. Johns asbestos catalog and is undated, but the cover indicates references to awards won by H.W. Johns from 1876 and 1884.
Early advertisements for asbestos insulations usually described the benefits of using asbestos materials in terms of protecting operators and workers from very hot surfaces around boilers and associated mechanical piping. Later, it was discovered that less fuel consumption was being realized where the insulated machinery was in service, subsequently asbestos was found to be a very economical and efficient insulation at that time.
Close-up of Mono-Kote spray-applied fireproofing material coated on structural steel I-beam from a vintage W.R. Grace Zonolite advertisement. Reportedly, such fireproofing material like this was applied inside portions of the the former World Trade Center towers in New York City. Monokote and many of its subsequent formulations have been found to contain varying amounts of asbestos and "Zonolite" (contaminated with Libby-amphiboles).
It seems this well insulated wall has a life of it's own. Day to day it changes, moves and shifts...
Example of significantly damaged asbestos insulation on two large, abandoned elevated tanks with debris. This insulation material is magnesia block which contains amphibole asbestos.
Zonolite vermiculite insulation shown installed in a residential attic space.
From the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (US-EPA) website:
"If you have vermiculite insulation in your home, you should assume this material may be contaminated with asbestos and be aware of steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from exposure to asbestos. This Web page provides important information on how to protect yourself and your family if you suspect that you might have vermiculite insulation from Libby, Montana.
Evidence of vandalism is apparent from this damaged section of asbestos pipe insulation. Consequently, costly abatement of the asbestos materials will take place.
