This truly unique and most charming Grade II listed cottage stands in possibly the most idyllic and desirable location on the Northumberland coast. Set in a superb and secluded position on the cliff edge with a sandy cove below, it commands panoramic coastal views from every window. The majestic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle can be seen in the north, whilst to the south there are distant views of Coquet Island. The coastline in this region is characterised by a mixture of rocky inlets and lovely sandy beaches with attractive walks along the cliff tops. A 14 mile coastal footpath between Beadnell and Alnmouth passes nearby providing the opportunity of walking through some of the most outstanding coastal scenery in the country, this part of the Heritage Coast is designated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" as well as being a "Site of Special Scientific Interest". The Coast and Castles cycle route passes nearby. The Bathing House is approached by a 400 metre private track and is ideal for a family holiday or for those seeking a secluded, romantic coastal location. It was built in the early 19th century by the 2nd Earl Grey who was the Prime Minister responsible for the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832 and whose monument stands at the top of Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. He had 16 children and the house was built specifically for the family to go bathing.

I found this post card in a box of old photos and ephemera.
It seems there were more than 51 Tuckers made and 3 of them ended up in Elgin Park!
I'll keep you posted on this developing story.

Once again, my favorite tree. It was taken on a beautiful sunny day. The sky was blue, and the air was crisp. I thought I'd like to remember my tree on that moment. But my memory, with time, will probably look much like this.
Ainda me perguntam porque eu quis vir pra cá trabalhar, foto da sessão pra um trabalho.
"Quando o sol se põe
Vem o farol
Iluminar as águas da Bahia
No Farol da Barra, o encontro é pouco
A conversa é curta, tudo é tão rápido como
se furta
Como a luz bate nas águas
Como tudo que se passa
Com tanto cabeludo, com tanto pôr-do-sol
Bem cabia uma profecia: até o ano 2000,
O Farol além do pôr-do-sol
será o pôr-do-som
Onde verás uma realejo, onde verás um violão"

DOME CREEK, between Penny and Crescent Spur on the southwest side of the Fraser River in central British Columbia, provides a year-round destination for hiking, hunting, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. The scattered community of about 40 permanent residents clusters the railway line and the actual creek. The creek and town are similarly named after Dome Mountain. The recreational facility, which occupies the former school building, houses the community hall, a public library and a museum, with a small rustic post office nearby.
(from - Wrigley's 1918 British Columbia Directory) - DOME CREEK - a Post Office and lumbering settlement at Mile 1190 G.T.P. west at junction of Dome Creek and Fraser River, in Fort George Provincial Electoral District. Nearest station is Bend on the G.T. P. Railway, distant 2 miles, and nearest telegraph G.T. P. at McBride, 55 miles, with local telephones. The population in 1918 was 250. Local resources: Lumbering and homesteading. After the railway construction phase, the population dwindled to 150 by 1921 and to 100 by 1927, revised to 125 by 1929.
The DOME CREEK Post Office was established - 1 May 1916.

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words in papers, words in books
Words on tv, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but dont go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

Welcome to the picture postcard village of Adare, which is one of Limerick's special places. With thatched roof cottages and Tudor style houses, beautiful gardens and ivy clad medieval churches in beautiful surroundings on both sides of the street beside the river Maigue.
For those who want to linger and learn more visit the Heritage centre and step back in time.
Date was indicated as 1899 but that looks like an electric tranvia that didn’t start until 1905. What do you think?

Ok, this looks like the perfect postcard shot. Taken on travel day from Cavtat to Korcula, this is the city of Dubrovnik. We actually didn't go in the city, we will be doing next Wednesday.
You can see the wall/fortification surrounding the city. I'm really looking forward to shooting it up close. No extra saturation added. Just a polarizer.
As usual, much better for the soul in the light box

Photo made in Cupertino 2014
Post card made for a postcard sharing event - RangeFinder Forum, PostCard #12.
110 year old camera, 51 year old film, 16 month old home made developer.
Post Card format 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch negative. The picture is not important, this is a test of exposure and development of this old film from 1971. Kodak RAR 2490 rapid action film box speed about ISO 64. Shot at ISO 6 from Ansco 1912 #3A folding camera. Developed in 18 month old Kalogen developer about 1:90 dilution, stand developed for 60 minutes. Water stop, fixed with Ilford Rapid 1:4 for 4 minutes. All at about 70 degrees F.
Kalogen was originally a replacement for Rodinal in/during/after the first world war when Rodinal was not available in the US/UK. Instead of para-aminophenol as the primary developer, it is essentially synthesized from the metol in the formula. (I'm finding it to be more active than Rodinal in comparable dilutions)
Distilled water (50°C) .................. 750 ml
Metol ....................................... 13.5 g
Sodium sulfite (anhy) ................... 180 g
Hydroquinone ............................. 53.0 g
Sodium hydroxide ........................ 35.0 g
Potassium bromide ....................... 5.0 g
Benzotriazole, 1% ........................ 80.0 ml
Distilled water to make ................. 1.0 l
Obvious A LOT of chemistry but that is because it is a concentration. Rodinal is essentially para-aminophenol, Sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide. So this is only slightly more complex.
Weigh out the Metol and sulfite. Dissolve a pinch of the sulfite in the water before adding the Metol. Dissolve the other ingredients in the order given. A precipitate will form upon the addition of the hydroquinone which will dissolve upon the addition of the sodium hydroxide.
Transfer the solution to a 1 liter glass bottle, stopper and allow it to stand for 2 to 3 days. A small amount of impurities will precipitate out and the solution will become lighter in color. Filter the solution and transfer it to several small (2 to 4 ounce) glass bottles and label. When prepared correctly the solution will be a clear pinkish tan color. (My first batch is slightly yellow clear and there is a mild deposit on the bottom. I shake it before I use it.)
After 18 months mine is still a bright straw yellow color.
When stored in nearly full and tightly capped small bottles, the stock solution will keep for months at room temperature. Should any crystals form due to storage at low temperature, they may be redissolved by warming and shaking the bottle.
Another post card from our family archive. I don't remember why I did not scan the back of this one.
Both of my grandparents went to the U. of I. in Champaign. So my hunch is they took the Illinois Central quite a bit.
I usually rode coach buses back and forth from the Chicago area when I went there. But once I took Amtrak. I was surprised how efficient the run from Champaign to Chicago was: fast and no time spent on sidings. In other words: very un-Amtrak.
Yaaah!!! Another post.......cool! Another greeting to my lovely friends! :-)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kindness, my dears!
Have a wonderful morning, day, evening, night.......where ever you are! :-)
