Over the last few weeks, I have spent sometime with the Beavers and Locals on the River Otter. Having watched and listened I have learnt so much about these incredible animals. My best views have been when it's been quiet and the beavers are relaxed. Over the last 48hours there have been a few subtle behavioural changes and the warning signs have gone up. I use a long lens and keep a respectable distance but it appears that not everyone does likewise. I just hope that a few do not ruin the viewing for the majority.

Por no contar con los respectivos permisos para su funcionamiento, la Comisaría Municipal procedió a la clausura de los juegos mecánicos, el pasado sábado, tras haberse producido un incidente en una de las estructuras.
Los aparatos eran instalados y otros estaban en funcionamiento sin permisos, los cuales deberán ser otorgados por el Municipio y el Cuerpo de Bomberos, previo a una revisión técnica de la estructura metálica a fin de conocer el estado de la misma, además hay otro documento que es emitido por la Subintendencia de Policía.
Cabe mencionar que los juegos mecánicos se encuentran ubicados en los terrenos de propiedad del IESS en San Camilo, frente a la Unidad Nicolás Infante Díaz, con motivo de la proximidad de las fiestas patronales en honor a San Cristóbal, a celebrarse los primeros días de agosto, en dicha parroquia urbana.
El concejal Luis Alvario, de la Comisión de la Vía Pública, expresó que los propietarios fueron advertidos de la sanción y no podrán operar hasta que legalicen su situación. “No vamos a permitir que instalen negocios sin pagar impuesto”, sostuvo el edil Alvario, durante una inspección donde también estuvo presente el Vicealcalde Jimmy Aguirre y la concejala Kerly García; y Wilson Pérez, de la Unidad de Gestión de Riesgos Municipal.
“No es justo que hayan empezado a trabajar sin permiso, los propietarios de los juegos mecánicos no poseen ningún informe, ni otro documento que le permita operar, por lo tanto, no podrán seguir funcionando”, recalcó la comisaria municipal Olga Baque.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and three metres at 11.48am on Wednesday 7th June 2023 off the Capilano Pacific Trail, beneath the Capilano Suspension bridge in West Vancouver, British Columbia.
Kia’palano (Beautiful river) was named by the Squamish first nations people, and gives Capilano park it's name. The suspension bridge was originally a cedar wood and rope bridge designed by George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and park commissioner for Vancouver, in 1889. The park was sold and purchased and the bridge completely rebuilt in 1956 and later sold again in 1983 to the present owner, Nancy Stibbard. A treetops adventure was built in 2004 and a cliffwalk added in 2011. The bridge is 140 metres in length and seventy metres from the river bed and receives more than 1.2 million visitors annually.
In June 2023 an adult day ticket was not cheap at $67.00 dollars Canadian, but the park makes for a great days enjoyment with food and drinks available.

On 1 December, HAF and the associations Argania and Bayti visited Essaouira's Christian, Jewish, and Muslim cemeteries with 30 local youngsters and 5 staff. The kids were very interested in learning about the history of Essaouira and its cemeteries and about the people who build the city.

Among my camera collection, FOCA's are probably the ones that mean the most to me. Called sometime with respect the « French LEICA’s », the FOCA’s are very far from any simple Leica copies. They were independently designed and prototyped in the clandestine by clever French engineers of the O.P.L. (« Optique & Precision de Levallois ») company in Paris, France, during the WWII. They were then manufactured in series as soon as possible after the war end in 1945 to 1962 in various versions. Overall about 150.000 units were produced (for the focal curtain shutter bodies). FOCA’s are amazing of precision, optical quality, and a real joy to use.
I selected this mid-range PF2B FOCA circa 1955 and its normal lens OPLAR 1:2.8 f=5cm for a relaxing photowalk enjoying a sunny mild afternoon in Lyon, France. For all the views the lens was equipped with 42mm push-on filter, AUV for the two first frames then, for the rest of the film, a FOCA Yellow x2.5 filter. A Genaco metal shade hood was aditionnaly used for all the views. For the fun, I added an external collimated viewer FOCANOX f=5cm.
The film used was a 36-exposure Ilford Pan 100. Expositions were determined for 100 ISO (or 50 ISO to compensate the absorption of the Yellow filter) using an Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective metering privileging the shadow areas.

After completion, the film was rewound and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 9min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.2) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the camera :
This FOCA camera is in an exceptional state of conservation and looks exited from a sort of time capsule since 70 years!
I was not so very optimistic about the real state of this camera because of the scars description of the seller, but I finally won the bid for tiny price on September 26, 2023 and the camera arrived to me a few days later.
According to the serial number this PF2B should be a model-4 from year 1955 (model-4 spans the years1954-1957). The shutter is a type-3 that equipped the version 16 to 17 in 1956. Curiously, the camera has also the type-6 rewind large button only appeared in 1957 on the model-5 of PF2B's. Maybe a latter upgrade required by the customer or prosed by the after-market service?
The camera was kept clearly in original box with the serial number hand written on the right side. The OPLAR normal lens 1:2.8 f=5cm is a model-3 version-4 from 1955 with the "ECD/9" diaphragm graduation 2.8...3.5...9....18.
In the box Botton was the user manual, a Kodachrome brochure in French and several cashier ticket from the seller "PHOTO BANGARD", 29, Quai du Fossé, Mulhouse, France, also identified in the inner side of the camera back with a sticker.The cashier ticket are probably to related to the camera since the amounts in French Francs does not correspond to any price list of that time.
In addition the camera has a leather ever-ready bag in excellent condition. When I first detailed the camera, I soon appeared that it almost pristine with very little sign of use. All functions works flawlessly and the shutter curtains are as new. The view finder and range finder are very clear and contrasted as the day 1. The lens is also very nice with the coating in quite good condition.
The camera was so nice and easy to clean that I could test it with a film the day after the receipt.
About the FOCA PF2B camera's and the normal lens OPLAR:
The Foca type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") was constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. It was manufactured in the Chateaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.
The camera is equipped with the collapsible 36mm screw-mount OPLAR lens (a modified Tessar formula with an additional fifth rear element) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed basically for the FOCA PF3 type.

Medalla de oro y plata fueron para Brasil y Argentina respectivamente.
Ya comienza a finalizar la fiesta deportiva de los X Juegos Suramericanos ODESUR Santiago 2014 en Chile y Viña del Mar, y en la jornada de este sábado 15 de marzo, el balonmano femenino premió a sus ganadoras en el Gimnasio Polideportivo Regional de la Ciudad Jardín. Es así como, la selección brasilera se hizo acreedora de la medalla de oro, mientras que la plata y el bronce, quedaron para Argentina y Chile, respectivamente.
Pero antes, desde las 17:00 hrs., se disputaron los últimos enfrentamientos por handball femenino en el recinto deportivo de la ciudad, y que partieron con la aplastante victoria de Brasil por 39-13 ante Uruguay. Este partido, fue la ante sala de lo que vendría luego, ya que a las 19:00 hrs., la selección nacional, necesitaba sumar una victoria o la mayor cantidad de goles ante su símil de Argentina, para quedarse con la medalla de bronce.
Por esta razón, es que el duelo entre Chile y Argentina se transformó en un verdadero show deportivo, en donde la Roja de balonmano, comandada por Pamela Flores, no aflojó en ninguno de los 60 minutos de partido, igualando gol a gol a sus rivales de la albiceleste, logrando incluso, finalizar el primer tiempo un punto más arriba que las trasandinas. Esta ventaja se mantuvo hasta los últimos 10 minutos del encuentro, cuando Argentina logró empatar y pasar arriba para sellar el partido con un 21-17 a su favor.
“Pudimos hacer un show que no se lo esperan para el balonmano. Muchas Gracias a Viña, nos acogieron muy bien, la gente es muy buena onda, gracias por llenar el estadio”, agradeció Pamela Flores, capitana de la selección chilena, minutos antes de recibir junto a su equipo la medalla de bronce en los Juegos ODESUR.
En la jornada de hoy domingo 16 de marzo, desde las 17:00 hrs. se realizará la jornada final y premiación de balonmano masculino, en donde Chile, comandado por Marco Oneto, disputará la medalla de bronce contra Uruguay, para continuar a las 19:00 hrs. con la definición del oro a cargo de los actuales campeones de Brasil v/s Argentina.

In 1827 Samuel Smith acquired land from the Carsley family and erected a store at this crossroads location. In 1855 Mr. Gwaltney bought the property from the estate of Samuel Smith and operated the store until 1878. J.W. (Watt) Rogers who ran the store for about 16 years before buying the property in 1894 and building what became Rogers’ Store. What was known as Gwaltney’s store was turned into a storage space. The store closed in 1952 and the property was later converted into a local museum. The Surry Historical Society acquired the property in 1999. Rogers’ Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 30, 2002 with ID number 02000595. The store is in rural Surry County, Virginia. The nomination form is included in the sources listed below.
During the many years of operation, it was “an early post office, a pharmacy, a radio assembly and repair shop, a publishing company, a lumber company, a chemical company and the Surry-Sussex Telephone Company.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers%27_Store] It also served as a saw mill.
Gwaltney’s Store is located behind the 1894 building. The 2-story building had 2 rooms and was built of mill-sawn lumber. It has a front gable with metal roof.
The 2-story Rogers· Store has a front gable facade with returns and a metal roof.
It also has a full-length front porch with a metal shed roof and four slender turned posts typical of the Queen Anne style. Both stories were used for retail sales; apparently the shelving inside still exists.
