The waterfall that named a town! Taking a quick break from the Lake 22 Trail to bring you this sunbaked image of Granite Falls located in (you guessed it) Granite Falls, Washington. This is likely the most unique waterflow I have achieved due greatly to the open sky sun above. It rendered these powerful waters all shades of color. This is truly not the time to usually be taking waterfall images but I stacked my circular polarizer & nd filter together, crossed my fingers that I wouldn't get crazy vignetting, and did everything I could to maintain a crisp image with my settings. I really enjoy this image more so for the difficulty it provided in capturing it. I had heard so many so so things about Granite Falls, I disagree, I believe it is a cool little waterfall. Thanks for checking this out. Enjoy!

Bento Gonçalves: potencial turístico do Brasil!
Bento Gonçalves é um município brasileiro do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Localizado no Nordeste Rio-grandense, mais precisamente na Serra Gaúcha, possui uma população de 107.341 habitantes (IBGE/2010), sendo considerada uma cidade média. É conhecida por ser ao mesmo tempo um pólo vitivinícola, moveleiro e turístico, tendo atuação de destaque nacional e internacional nesses setores, constituindo uma das maiores economias do Rio Grande do Sul.
A cidade abrange grande parte da área do Vale dos Vinhedos, região que abriga algumas das melhores vinícolas do país. Além disso, é sede de eventos importantes no cenário nacional como Fenavinho, ExpoBento, Fiema Brasil e Movelsul, todas realizadas no Parque de Eventos de Bento Gonçalves, o segundo maior do tipo em todo o Brasil.
Os colonos encontraram nesta região um clima favorável, semelhante ao europeu, para estabelecer a cultura da videira, que ainda é a predominante na região, no chamado Vale dos Vinhedos.
A cidade recebe milhares de visitantes todos os anos em virtude da quantidade de opções para o turismo, mas também por causa do seu potencial econômico, decorrente da qualidade de seus vinhos e do grande número de indústrias moveleiras sediadas na cidade, que correspondem a 40% da produção estadual do setor e a 8% da produção nacional. A qualidade de vida do município é uma das mais elevadas do país, mesmo com a crescente taxa de urbanização notável nos últimos anos, que contribui para a ocorrência de problemas como o deflorestamento e a instabilidade social.
No início do século XX a rede ferroviária chegou à região, facilitando o escoamento da produção de vinho, proporcionando uma base econômica sólida para o município.
Entre os anos de 1919 a 1927 ocorreram a instalação de luz elétrica, da estação transformadora e da rede de distribuição.

Thanks to impending legislation and a surplus of non-compliant buses within their fleet, I heard today that Routemaster Buses of Nantwich my consider re-selling their Leopard (now registered) BAH 809X. Space / parking constraints mean than not all of them can be retained particularly as replacement buses have been sourced.
The Leopard (before coming to Cheshire) last worked for Stagecoach 'Western' in Scotland and had spent its final time with them on the Isle of Arran, but had been new to Leicester City Bus.

“Here be dragons” means dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons, sea monsters and other mythological creatures on uncharted areas of maps where potential dangers were thought to exist.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_be_dragons
It may be that Medieval Map Makers wrote, “Here be dragons,” to indicate untold dangers and to warn away some exploration, or at least ask any such explorers to bring back a few line illustrations to update maps, charts and guides. When I say Dirleton Castle Here Be Dragons, I mean Dirleton Castle Here Be Dragons. The Dragon was posing for pictures and stating that Photoshop was allowed to bring out his armoured scale magnificence and to sparkle the light of gentle soft slightly flaming snores illuminating sleepily tinkling pillowed to perfection golden hoards of the past, the present and those yet to come within his eyes.
I saw the Dragon Eggs hatch and fly away for Winter and it is possible that the Dragon, as pictured here, may have flown away til Spring 2023. Please do ask if you are looking to see either The Dragon, as pictured here, or The Nest, either with, or without The Eggs. The Dragon, The Nest, The Eggs and The Man at Arms Presentations are all worth a visit for and along with them there is a Castle and Grounds that are superb.
For updates on The Dragon, The Nest, The Eggs and The Man at Arms Presentations and for artistic recreations of Castles and Historic Scenes I follow their creator on Twitter.

Another potentially useful chart I've put together from various sources, with a bit of a guess (optimistic?) for new Ektachrome (which I haven't shot yet!)
Obviously, for times over a minute or so these times are a guide, given the increasing gaps in time between 1/3 stops.
Two rolls ready for developing. The anticipation is the best (and worst) part!
