"Ground control to Major Tom
The time is near, there's not too long
Can you hear me Major Tom?…"
*David Bowie*
The Canadian Rockies mountain range spans the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. With jagged, ice-capped peaks, including towering Mt. Robson, it's a region of alpine lakes, diverse wildlife and outdoor recreation sites. Yoho National Park is home to the massive Takakkaw Falls. Other national parks are Jasper, with the famously accessible Athabasca Glacier, and Banff, site of glacier-fed Lake Louise. Pilot Mountain was named by George Dawson because it is a landmark to travellers in the Bow Valley. It may be seen up and down the Bow Valley for a considerable distance and because of its special location, may be viewed when looking west from east of Banff Townsite and when looking southeast from northwest of Lake Louise.

Una càmera alemana poc coneguda però força interessant i divertida de fer servir és la KW Pilot-6. És curiós com certs elements que després faran de la Hasselblad una de les millors (o potser la millor?) càmeres de la historia, ja s'apunten aquí. Es tracta d'una càmera reflex de format 6x6 cm (SLR), amb visor superior i objectius intercambiables.
En detriment del seu "llinatge" vers la "Hassy" val a dir que no pot canviar de rodet amb xassis intercambiables, ni avança automaticament la pel·licula, i que el obturador és un model de guillotina força cru i lent. Amb tot, es plega en fomat cub molt facil de manipular, té el selector de velocitats / carregador en la mateixa posició que la Hasselblad, i la velocitat màxima no és pas tant lenta, 1/200 (la Hasselblad 500C/M només arriba a 1/500).
Fou fabricada per KameraWerkstatten (Dresden), entre 1936 i la Segona Guerra Mundial, i la variant Pilot Super, entre 1939 i 1941. Aquesta incorporava un primitiu fotometre d'extinció.
Aquesta en concret és del model fabricat a partir de 1938, funciona perfectament, i la vaig comprar molt bé de preu al festival de fotografia analògica Revela'T, de Vilassar de Dalt.

=============================
A little known German camera but quite interesting and fun to use is the KW Pilot-6. It's relevant how certain elements that will later make the Hasselblad one of the best (or maybe the best?) cameras in history, are already here. It is a 6x6 cm single-lens reflex camera (SLR), with a top viewfinder and interchangeable lenses.
To the detriment of its "lineage" towards the "Hassy" it cannot change film with interchangeable backs, nor does it automatically advance the film, and the shutter is a rather crude and slow guillotine model. All in all, it folds into a very easy-to-manipulate cube format, has the speed selector / cocking lever in the same position as the Hasselblad, and the maximum speed is not that slow, 1/200 (the Hasselblad 500C/M only reaches 1/500).
It was manufactured by KameraWerkstätten (Dresden), between 1936 and World War 2, and the Pilot Super variant, between 1939 and 1941. This one incorporated a primitive extinction light meter.
This particular one is of the model manufactured from 1938 onwards, it works perfectly, and I bought it at a very good price at the analog photography festival Revela'T, in Vilassar de Dalt, Catalonia.

Custom built BrickArms/BrickWarriors/BrickForge/SDT/LEGO minifigure. Hazel armor cast.
The armor & helmet pieces are another one of those casts by Hazel. It`s the Colonial Marine though he kinda changed after I made the oxy mask & started to look more pilot-like. The whole mask assembly can be removed. I think pilot style figs look fantastic probably due to all the terrific headgear that is available.
Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

This photograph is a late addition to today's pictures of the Low Head Pilot Station. All historical information is provided under the previous shots.
Apart from the little van and the electric light poles, I wanted to try a sepia print to see what the pilot station may have looked like in the 1880s (all these buildings would have been completed by then). If we substitute the van with a horse and cart and the electric lights with gas lamps, then I think this thought experiment has merit.
By the time I got to the Low Head Pilot Station it was already getting quite dark and I had to shoot quickly. No time to set up a tripod! This was in fact the last photograph I took on site and so I've had to adjust the exposure levels to compensate.

After a night nearby, the morning brought sun and a lushness to the sage. I was driving out when I took this. Looking into my rearview, I saw this view. I stopped the car, set up a couple of shots.
I'm pretty surprised at how the Ektachrome handled the greens here. It was green with the light, but nothing like this.
