The "Stroilski Dol" waterfall or "Samodivskoto Praskalo" (so named by the locals) is among the most beautiful and highest waterfall in the Rhodope Mountains and Bulgaria as a whole. The height of the water drop is about 70 meters, the water falls almost directly sliding on the edges of the rocky hill.
It is situated near the town of Devin, aside from the fabulous eco trail "Lakata" and its waters flow into the Devin River.
The waterfall and the eco-trail provide a great opportunity to hike and walk around the town of Devin. To get there ask the locals to direct you to the "Lakata" and the mineral pools. An eco-trail begins from there, which follows the river and at places passes over scenic bridges.
The waterfall is located on the right of the trail and can be reached by a small path. Note: The trail to the waterfall begins behind a small concrete house and green bridges, on the right of the main trail. Follow the path right of the stream, because there is another on the left, which leads to a site with remains of an old fortress.
This 5.5-meter cryogenic propellant tank is currently is being manufactured at the Boeing Developmental Center in Tukwila, Wash. It will be one of the largest composite propellant tanks ever made and is scheduled to be pressure-tested in 2014 at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

My new English Ivy indoor plant.
Built in 1914 at no. 911 Wellington Street East.
"This is a Prairie-style single-story residence, noticeably located at the south-west corner of Wellington and Woodward in the city’s east-central area. It encompasses part of Lot 15, Plan 568 and Lot 29, Plan 930. GIS coordinates: 705,711.336 5,154,111.585 Meters
This handsome, distinctive, well maintained home is the best example of a Prairie-style residence to be found in Sault Ste. Marie. It is an elegant Craftsman style bungalow with a variety of gently pitched roof slopes and a small hipped dormer. The eaves are deep and bracketed. The columns are plain with square abacuses and no base. The inclusion of classical modillions in a residence is rare in Sault Ste. Marie and to Prairie-style homes. A variety of rustic building materials have been utilized: stucco, wood, brick and stone. The window groupings consist of both casement and sash with inner muntin bars. Those windows on the front have been replaced with modern aluminum windows but the windows around the sunroom on the east side and those on the partial second floor are original. Many of the original storm windows are stored in the garage. Craftsmanship in the building is excellent yet simple and functional. Even the interior fireplace sports hand-carved brackets of similar design to those supporting the overhanging exterior eaves. With the exception of the kitchen and bathroom, the main floor rooms are still finished with the original oak trim and floors. An old photo of the house indicates that cedar shingles once adorned the roof.
This residence was constructed, in its present form, in 1914 for Richard H. Carney who was District manager for Canada Life Assurance Co. It was the Carney family who was responsible for construction of the Carney Block on Queen St. It thus reflects the affluence of an upper middle class business family which was profiting from the Clergue industrial expansion of the day. A 1914 date and initials of the stone mason builder may be found in the basement wall mortar between the sandstone pieces. It is likely this sandstone was quarried from the locks as was typical for the day. This house was purchased in 1939 by the MacIntosh family who owned it until 2004.
The key exterior features that embody the heritage value of 911 Wellington St. E. include:
- Variety of gently pitched roof slopes provide horizontal emphasis reflecting the Prairiestyle bungalow
- Clerestory lighting that provides light to a half story loft
- A hipped dormer and deep bracketed eaves
- Columns with abacuses and no base but adorned with modillions
- Rustic building materials including stucco, wood, brick and stone
- Original casement windows with sash and inner muntin bars on the sunroom (east side)
and on the half story loft
- Home and property have been well maintained in traditional style with little change to
the exterior
- An interior with oak trim, baseboards and flooring unchanged save for the kitchen and
bathroom
- A beautiful fireplace with brackets supporting the mantle matching those under the
eaves on the exterior
- The best example of a classical Prairie-style residence in Sault Ste. Marie distinctively
located in a prominent east-central location
- A residence which reflects the affluence of a prominent Sault business family built
during the heyday of the Clergue industrial empire" - info from the Sault Ste. Marie Municipal Heritage Committee.
"Sault Ste. Marie (/ˈsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ SOO-seint-ma-REE) is a city on the St. Marys River in Ontario, Canada, close to the Canada–US border. It is the seat of the Algoma District and the third largest city in Northern Ontario, after Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
The Ojibwe, the indigenous Anishinaabe inhabitants of the area, call this area Baawitigong, meaning "place of the rapids." They used this as a regional meeting place during whitefish season in the St. Mary's Rapids. (The anglicized form of this name, Bawating, is used in institutional and geographic names in the area.)
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the Michigan city of the same name. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River. In the 21st century, the two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side, and Huron Street (and former Ontario Secondary Highway 550B) on the Ontario side. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the Saint Mary's Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage that passes through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
French colonists referred to the rapids on the river as Les Saults de Ste. Marie and the village name was derived from that. The rapids and cascades of the St. Mary's River descend more than 6 m (20 ft) from the level of Lake Superior to the level of the lower lakes. Hundreds of years ago, this slowed shipping traffic, requiring an overland portage of boats and cargo from one lake to the other. The entire name translates to "Saint Mary's Rapids" or "Saint Mary's Falls". The word sault is pronounced [so] in French, and /suː/ in the English pronunciation of the city name. Residents of the city are called Saultites.
Sault Ste. Marie is bordered to the east by the Rankin and Garden River First Nation reserves, and to the west by Prince Township. To the north, the city is bordered by an unincorporated portion of Algoma District, which includes the local services boards of Aweres, Batchawana Bay, Goulais and District, Peace Tree and Searchmont. The city's census agglomeration, including the townships of Laird, Prince and Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional and the First Nations reserves of Garden River and Rankin, had a total population of 79,800 in 2011.
Native American settlements, mostly of Ojibwe-speaking peoples, existed here for more than 500 years. In the late 17th century, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission at the First Nations village. This was followed by development of a fur trading post and larger settlement, as traders, trappers and Native Americans were attracted to the community. It was considered one community and part of Canada until after the War of 1812 and settlement of the border between Canada and the US at the Ste. Mary's River. At that time, the US prohibited British traders from any longer operating in its territory, and the areas separated by the river began to develop as two communities, both named Sault Ste. Marie." - info from Wikipedia.

First time checking out the shadow of a Mountain Lion chasing its prey on the Superstition Mountains. The powered paraglider was flying the sky from a distance, then abruptly changed course for some sweet framing beside the moon and scene. I scrambled off the tripod for the shot and my metering and mind went mad. Thankfully RAW had a little bit of breathing room for recovery in post. Good times after a long week.
Broken Meter, found in White Plains, New York, USA; the flashing "dEAd" notification on the LCD screen was eye catching. The message, sad, funny, ironic and fitting. To laughter and life!
These Soligor Spot Meters are accurate and easy to use, with a big electronic readout in the sighting viewfinder that gives an EV number (the digital readout gives 1/10 EV increments). You simply set the EV number and ISO on the rotating calculator around the lens and read off your shutter speed/aperture pairings directly. The meter takes a big rectangular 9V battery (the kind used in smoke-detectors), but it's not a terribly heavy or bulky meter (13 oz. including the battery). Mine came with a leatherette case. The view through the sighting viewfinder shows a reasonably wide field of view with a precise scribed circle showing the area being metered. The EV calculator scales read from ISO 6 to 12800, the shutter speed scale goes from 1/4000 to 30 minutes (with a Cine scale also), Aperture scale covers f/1 to f/128, and the EV range of the meter is 0 to 20. I like how simple this is to use, and there is very little to break or go wrong.
I was inspired by a historic building across the street and needed to find a place to set my cup, after finishing my sandwich at Subway.

A spontaneous moonlit shoot grabbing the only film I had left in my bag... Rollei Superpan 200. Pushed right to the very end of its sensitivity. Not the ideal film for the job. Wild! haha
Film: Rollei Superpan 200
120 Format
Camera: Rolleiflex Automat Model 2 1938
Tripod
Shutter Release Cable
Metering: Weston Master V
f22 and 10 seconds
I didn't have time to consult the datasheet to compensate for the reciprocity of the film.
Infinity focus. Couldn't see a thing through the focusing screen of course. 😂.
No filter, Post Edit in Photoshop to bring back a bit more of the highlights.
Development:
Ilford HC 1+31 8 minutes at 20c
Ilford Fixer 4 Minutes 20c
Ilford Wetting Agent 1 minute
I'm chuffed with the results to be honest because I know what a mad rush I had after deciding to shoot in the low light conditions. Changing the roll in cold frosty temperatures, in almost darkness. And setting up the tripod. I expected to maybe have no results at all. But i'm crazy like that so 'rolled with it'.
I also wasn't sure on my development of this film in Ilford HC developer (my only current developer) as I couldn't see a clear mix suggestion for it anywhere online. I assumed it wasn't ideal for the fine grain of superpan 200 haha but, I knew this film shot at low light would have some heavy grain anyway. I wasn't needing fine development results. So I totally winged it using the recipe mix for supposed predecessor to Superpan 200 -Agfa Aviphot Pan 200!! when it is developed in Kodak's similar HC-110 developer. Formula of 8 Minutes at 20c. Dilution B 1+31. I think it worked out ok.
Pictures of the "Cascata Grande" In Bignasco, Switzerland. We saw this very nice waterfall from the road as we were driving in the Valle Maggia. It was definitely worth taking a break from driving.

Former meter-gauge Guimarães line from Porto-Trindade to Fafe. This section was shut down in 2002. Bougado was located between Muro and Trofa, which was the first interface with the broad-gauge Minho line. The Metro do Porto line replaced the section between Porto-Trindade and Castelo da Maia,
but did not reach Muro and Bougado.

The Зенит is back! Finally got around to shoot with a "new" body that has a working shutter release.
And it's a relief to see that the inner lighting meter in my brain still seems to work (since the one in the camera doesn't). I basically go with my gut without checking the numbers on the lens ring, and most of the time it works out fine. I was afraid I would have to re-learn this since I had gotten used to the numbers indicating the aperture which are displayed in the viewfinder of the Canon AE-1 Program... So either I was lucky or it's like riding a bike - you can't unlearn it?!
