The dramatist, librarian and leading representative of the German enlightenment movement Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) was one of Moses Mendelssohn's best friends.

Last roll and development combo resulted in the dreaded black spots. Changed developer to Rodinal semi to assess potential etiology. Film continued to be Ultra100. And early AM continued to be time of day, with some dusk as well. One of my favorite lenses, the 16-35mm Nikkor; perspective just seems natural to me. Thanks again to all my fellow flickeranians for keeping me uplifted during challenging times.

This photograph conjures up all sorts of images: the road less traveled, the open road, lost highways, on the road, songs by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and others. One is also reminded of that famous book of non fiction by M. Scott Peck "THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED", but it is important to include one of America's favorite poets, Robert Frost who wrote "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN." Songs and poetry seem to reflect on the image of a lonely road winding to some unknown place in the distance. Eluding to questions about what one might find there or not want to find there when the journey ends.

All Saints, Elm, Cambridgeshire
I came less than a mile from the big Norfolk church of Emneth to a church in a different county and in a quite different architectural and regional language. Elm is a grand Early English church, and architectural historians salivate over it. The nave is very like West Walton indeed, and in many ways is superior to West Walton - the clerestories, for example, are complete and still contain glass. The tower is very much a Cambridgeshire tower with echoes of the west tower at Ely Cathedral. It is joined on, unlike that at West Walton, and is very similar to the tower at Leverington on the other side of Wisbech, and a spire may have been intended here like that at Leverington. However, within ten years of its construction it had leaned dramatically to the south, the tower arch buckling. It then stopped moving, and hasn't moved in the 800 years since, presenting a dramatic sight looking west inside. It is highly likely that it was this incident which persuaded the parishioners at both Wisbech and West Walton to build their towers separate to the church.
The interior is a little disappointing, a bit gloomy and and all of its 19th Century restoration, despite the mathematically brilliant double-hammerbeam roof. If the interior had been like West Walton's this would be a fabulous church.
Incidentally, like all the other churches in this benefice, of which Elm is the only one in Cambridgeshire, the church is kept locked with a keyholder notice. The key is at the village shop, as with several of the other churches. However, the shop is not opposite as at Upwell and Outwell, and is not easily found without a map and asking someone. Or, at least, I had to. It took me twice as long to find the key and bring it back to the church as it had to cycle to the church in the first place from Emneth in Norfolk.

South First Street, this was Downtown San Jose's Woolworth's originally, it sat empty for many years, plans were for House of Blues to open in it, that never happened and in 2005 a Furniture Store opened in it, that closed too and now Ross has moved in. Ross originally considered opening in it back when Woolworth's had first closed.
SPC #10 - Hats
We all wear many hats, often more than one at a time. Some we wear for life, some we only think we will.
I struggled with myself as to whether or not I was even going to post this. But given the number of times the members of this group have put themselves out there and shown their vulnerabilities, I figured I could do the same, so I thank you all for that.
View large to see all my "hats" Here's a list of my "hats":
Skater, Tenant, Mentor, Photographer, Friend, Daddy, Confidant, Brother, Lover, Colleague, Husband, Handyman, Ex-Smoker, Son, Snowboarder, Role Model, Customer, Coach, Bug Squisher, Student, DJ.
I should mention, it's been three years now, and I've been back to good for about half that. Although I've always wanted to do something photographic to represent it, I almost did it for the Sins challenge but couldn't come up with anything that I really liked...I'm pretty happy with this one though.

Pay Less Drug Stores of California opened their 33rd drugstore in Diamond Bar on May 28, 1971. Located at 300 S Diamond Bar Blvd, this Pay Less featured 52,000 square feet. CVS has done a nice job of maintaining almost all of the building's original integrity.
Heavy rains last night and this morning meant no walk for the Boyz at the fields with the Grrls. On the other hand, it meant that during the short break between raindrops this morning we were off to the bowl park to play in the puddles.
Bowl park? Designed to catch the overflow from the surrounding residential neighborhood, these circular and sunken grass areas make for some grand splashing fun. I don't just mean the Boyz do all the splashing, nope. Me too!
All Saints church, Jesus Lane, Cambridge
St James the Less, by Edward Burne-Jones, 1866
All Saints church was built for the Church of England in 1864 to the designs of the great George Bodley, perhaps the most consistently brilliant of all 19th century English church architects. It is a high Tractarian temple designed in the Decorated style, and is generally considered to be Bodley's masterpiece. Interior decoration includes the work of William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown, Charles Kempe and Frederick Leach.
For many years Cambridge's highest Anglo-catholic church, the congregation gradually dwindled as fashions changed and the population of the parish moved out to the big new housing estates. In 1973, All Saints was declared redundant.
Attempts were made to find a new use, but after three years none had been found. So, in keeping with the redundant churches legislation of the time, All Saints was scheduled for demolition.
There was a national outcry, and at the eleventh hour the church was saved, and vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust in 1981. Considerable restoration was needed, and the building was mothballed until the early years of the 21st century, when a massive programme of repairs was carried out.
Since Easter 2007, the church has been open to the public seven days a week.
This is a less than exciting photo of a nice combo* on QRNational intermodal freighter 7MB7, departing Tottenham in Melbourne. Train consisted of LDP007, LDP001 and 42202.
While it WAS cloudy at the time, the lighting wasn't that bad, infact it had lightened considerably since the last train had passed through (which had done so in light rain with very little light).
Normally none of these things pose a problem to myself, reasonably competent in camera operation and the correct settings to use. It should be noted the following:
1. We were not expecting this train to arrive, there was supposed to be a (far less interesting) train ahead of this one. Thus, we were "caught off guard" in this case.
2. We were planning a completely different location for this train, to better facilitate the chase. Upon changing location, the checking and changing of camera settings to calibrate for the new location would be mandatory.
3. I still had the camera settings set on "nice dark rain weather", rather than "sun trying to poke through the clouds" weather.
Result: A nice long stream of photos, all overexposed to buggery.
Thank god for RAW. Didn't make the shot a winner, but I have a record shot at least.
