I bought this film case about 20 years ago from Spiratone, a camera accessory store in Flushing, NY that went out of business many years ago. It can hold 4 rolls of 35mm film. It's waterproof and supposed to be x-ray proof too but I cannot confirm that. Since then I haven't seen it other stores. I had seen other film cases but not this one.
the pillow cases i made last week.
i think three of them together is a bit too much, as they sport all the same fabrics. so one has to got to Matt's office, one to the home office and one is allowed to stay on the couch.
Italien / Südtirol - Dreiburgenwanderung bei Eppan
Hocheppan Castle
This very pleasant hiking tour leads you to three popular castles: Castel d’Appiano, Castel Boymont and Castel Corba
Our starting point is the small village of Missiano in the municipality of Appiano. Having reached the car parking space underneath Castel Corba, we start our hiking tour on an asphalted street. Very soon we can see two of the castles on our tour: first Castel Corba and than Castel Boymont, which lies a little further above in the woods.
Later on, the trail leads us along vineyards and fruit orchards, presenting wonderful views to the valley and the city of Bolzano. Soon afterwards we reach a farm, which we simply cross, staying on the asphalted street. At the beginning of the wood we follow trail no. 12 until the so-called „castle trail“ (in German „Burgenweg“). Having gained height on a small steep track the trail goes on on a series of serpentines until we finally reach the tower „Kreideturm“.
We pass the „Kreideturm“, keep to the left and continue until we reach an asphalted forest street which will finally lead us to Castel d’Appiano. Before the trail gets steeper we decide to stop and drink some water we brought with us in our rucksacks. Continuing our hiking, we soon arrive at our first destination, the Castel d’Appiano. A breathtaking view to the valley and the city of Bolzano is welcoming us here! Having taken some fotos, we decide to explore the inside of the castle. Passing a small bridge we reach the castle’s gate and enter the courtyard. In the castle’s tavern we treat ourselves with some refreshing drinks.
After a short visitation we continue our hiking tour towards Castel Boymont, passing some horses and pigs who are looking at us half asleep. We follow the track steeply downwards to a gorge where we take some steps and cross a little bridge before we walk upwards again to reach the other side where we can once again enjoy the great view to the castle and its chapel. We continue our hike through the wood (trail no. 14), finally arriving at our next destination, Castel Boymont. After a short visitation, we enjoy the warming autumn sunlight.
Starting our way back we take the same trail on which we came to Castel Boymont. After a few metres we turn into the trail that leads us back to Castel Corba.
Please note: This hiking tour is particularly recommendable in spring and autumn and very suitable for families since castles and their courtyards are great playgrounds for children who like adventures.

Hocheppan Castle (German: Burg Hocheppan) lies on the territory of the frazione of Missian in the municipality of Eppan near Bozen in South Tyrol (Italy). Hocheppan is one of the most important fortifications in South Tyrol.
The medieval hill castle stands on precipitous crags above Missian.
Most South Tyrolean castle scholars believe the castle hill was already settled and fortified in the Rhaetian period. The most recent archaeological finds confirm this.
According to one theory, Hocheppan Castle was built around 1125 by Count Ulrich II of Eppan as a stronghold (Trutzburg). Other researchers believe a later construction date is more probable.
The former seat of the counts of Eppan near the village of St. Pauls had become unsafe due to conflicts with the counts of Tyrol. Where it was, exactly, is not known, but in any case the Altenburg ("Old Castle") in Eppan is not the predecessor of Hocheppan.
In 1158, after the Eppans had ambushed a Papal delegation, the castle was destroyed in a punitive expedition under Henry the Lion, but was then rebuilt. In 1315, it was transferred to the princes of Tyrol, who subsequently enfeoffed it to various families. In 1834, Emperor Francis I enfeoffed the castle to Martin Teimer von Wildau. Since 1911 the counts of Enzenberg have owned Hocheppan.
Meanwhile, the structure of the castle has been consolidated and, in places, restored. The site is home to a snack bar today.
Access to the castle, which was extended over the centuries, is from the north through a complex system of outworks, guarded by battery towers, from the late Middle Ages, much of which dates to the 16th century. Outside the actual enceinte, an open roundel, which could be defended with firearms, guards the site. Dominating the castle is the high pentagonal bergfried, a shape which is rare in the Tyrol, whose condition is endangered by a deep fissure in the masonry.
The frescoes in the castle chapel are some of the best preserved in Tyrol. On the inner and outer walls scenes from the life of Jesus and the apostles are depicted as well as other Biblical scenes, such as the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins.
About ten minutes walk from Hocheppan is the Chalk Tower (Kreidenturm), a separates outwork of the castle. It consists of a very high, white, limed tower that is probably still at its original height. It is surrounded by a small chemise.

Eine gemütliche Wanderung, die Sie zu drei bekannten Schlössern führt: Burgruine Boymont, Schloss Hocheppan und Schloss Korb.
Ausgangspunkt unserer Wanderung ist die kleine Ortschaft Missian, eine Fraktion der Gemeinde Eppan. Mit dem Auto erreichen wir den Parkplatz etwas unterhalb von Schloss Korb und machen uns von hier aus auf den Weg und folgen anfangs immer der asfaltierten Straße. Hier können wir bereits zwei der Schlösser der Wanderung entdecken: Schloss Korb und etwas weiter oben im Wald können wir schon Schloss Boymont erspähen.
Der Weg führt uns an Weinbergen und Obstwiesen entlang und wir genießen die herrliche Aussicht auf das Tal und die Stadt Bozen. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit erreichen wir einen Bauernhof, den wir, der asphaltierten Straße folgend, einfach durchqueren. Nun erreichen wir einen Wald und folgen immer dem Weg Nr. 12, bis wir den Burgenweg erreichen. Über einen kleinen Steig gewinnen wir an Höhe und schlängeln uns über Serpentinen hoch. Bald schon haben wir den Kreideturm erreicht.
Wir spazieren am Kreideturm vorbei, halten uns links und erreichen eine asphaltierte Waldstraße, der wir nun Richtung Schloss Hocheppan folgen. Der Weg wird deutlich steiler, doch bald haben wir bereits unser erstes Ziel erreicht: Schloss Hocheppan, mit einem herrlichen Panorama auf das Tal. Über eine Brücke erreichen wir das Tor des Schlosses und treten in den Innenhof ein. In der Burgschenke erwartet uns die Gelegenheit für eine erfrischende Pause.
Nach einer kurzen Besichtigung wandern wir Richtung Schloss Boymont weiter. Wir kommen an Pferden und Schweinen vorbei, die uns etwas schläfrig betrachten. Der Weg führt nun steil abwärts in eine Schlucht. Von dort aus müssen wir über Stiegen und eine kleine Brücke auf der anderen Seite wieder hoch. Hier angekommen genießen wir noch einmal die schöne Aussicht auf das Schloss und seine Kapelle.
Durch den Wald setzen wir unsere Wanderung fort (Nr. 14) und nähern uns somit unserem nächsten Ziel, Boymont. An der Burg angekommen, besichtigen wir auch diese und genießen die wärmenden Sonnenstrahlen des Herbstes. Dann machen wir uns auf den Rückweg. Über den selben Weg, den wir zum Aufstieg zur Burg bewältigt haben, wandern wir ein kurzes Stück zurück bis zur Wegkreuzung, die uns direkt zu Schloss Korb zurückbringt.
Hinweis: Diese Wanderung ist besonders im Frühjahr und Herbst zu empfehlen. Besonders für Kinder sind die mittelalterlichen Burgen und Schlösser immer wieder ein großer Abenteuer- und Spielplatz.

Die Burg Hocheppan zählt zu den wichtigsten Wehrbauten in Südtirol (Italien). Sie liegt auf dem Gebiet der Fraktion Missian in der Großgemeinde Eppan bei Bozen.
Die Burganlage liegt oberhalb von steilen Felswänden über Missian. Sie gehört zum Typus der Höhenburgen.
Nach Ansicht der meisten Südtiroler Burgenforscher war der Burghügel bereits in rätischer Zeit besiedelt bzw. befestigt. Neueste archäologische Funde bestätigten dies.
Burg Hocheppan wurde nach einer Theorie um 1125 von Graf Ulrich II. aus dem Haus Eppan als Trutzburg erbaut. Andere Forscher halten ein späteres Entstehungsdatum für wahrscheinlich.
Der vorherige Sitz der Grafen von Eppan in Dorfnähe von St. Pauls war wegen der Auseinandersetzungen mit den Grafen von Tirol zu unsicher geworden. Wo er genau lag ist unbekannt, jedenfalls ist die Altenburg nicht als Vorgängerburg von Hocheppan anzusehen.
Nachdem die Eppaner 1158 eine päpstliche Gesandtschaft überfallen hatten, wurde die Burg durch eine Strafexpedition unter Heinrich dem Löwen zerstört, danach aber wieder aufgebaut. 1315 wurde sie an die Landesfürsten von Tirol übergeben, die in der Folge verschiedene Familien damit belehnten. 1834 gab Kaiser Franz I. die Burg an Martin Teimer von Wildau als Lehen. 1911 ging Hocheppan in den Besitz der Grafen Enzenberg über, die den Baubestand konsolidierten und teilweise auch restaurierten. 2016 erwarb die Gemeinde Eppan die Burg zu einem Kaufpreis von rund 3,5 Millionen Euro.
Der Zugang der über Jahrhunderte erweiterten Burg wird im Norden durch ein komplexes System von Vorwerken mit Geschütztürmen aus dem späten Mittelalter geschützt, das zu großen Teilen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert stammt. Außerhalb des eigentlichen Mauerberings schützt ein offenes Rondell, das mit Feuerwaffen verteidigt werden konnte, die Anlage. Dominant ist der hohe und in Tirol seltene fünfeckige Bergfried, dessen Bestand durch einen tiefen Riss im Mauerwerk gefährdet ist.
Die Fresken der Burgkapelle gehören zu den besterhaltenen Fresken Tirols. Auf Innen- und Außenwänden sind Szenen aus dem Leben Jesu und der Apostel sowie weitere biblische Szenen, wie die klugen und die törichten Jungfrauen, abgebildet.
Etwa zehn Fußminuten vor Hocheppan befindet sich der Kreidenturm, ein separates Vorwerk von Hocheppan. Es besteht aus einem sehr hohen, weiß gekalkten Turm, der wohl in ursprünglicher Höhe erhalten ist und von einer kleinen Ringmauer umgeben wird.

Queste case sono disabitate. Lo spopolamento della montagna è un fenomeno non solo italiano o delle Alpi ma mondiale ed è causato da molti fattori; quello principale è certamente economico, ma concorre anche la ricerca di prospettive più allettanti, di stili di vita diversi e di miglioramento della posizione sociale.
Prototype blythe protective case. Not a bag, but simply a case to protect the doll from scratches while being stored in my backpack. Blythes are durable, but the plastic is not.
The outer fabric is fancy fabric, then quilt batting in between and then inner fabric is the protective fabric so it should be white so it won't stain anything and it should be soft aswell. The top and bottom flaps closes with soft doll velcro so it can be adjusted depending on if the doll is wearing platform shoes, thick clothes or is nude. Soft doll velcro do not nag in the hair. Then some kind of straps to close it.
I thoughted on sharing the pattern to you, but unfortunately it is BIG, far too big to be scanned...
As this was the prototype I picked a cheap fabric so that's why I chose the cheesy rainbow striped fabric. ;) And the only colorful bias tape long enough was green. Luckily enough it matched colorwise and size was good, so I carried on decorating with beads and all!
Just a documentation photo here to show the contents of my Everest hard case. I picked up two of these and this is the case that holds my landscape/prime gear.
After a few close calls at the ocean in the past, I will no longer fear the wrath of Poseidon. I can conceivably jam my gear between a couple of rocks on the beach and shoot through high tide...later, when the seas have retreated, I will dig my case out of the sand, change lenses, and shoot some night images.
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fibre that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae.
The fibre is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds.
Within 80–100 days after planting, the plant develops white blossoms, which change to a reddish colour.
The fertilised blossoms fall off after a few days and are replaced by small green triangular pods, called bolls, that mature after a period of 55–80 days.
During this period the seeds and their attached hairs develop within the boll, which increases considerably in size.
The seed hair, or cotton fibre, reaching a maximum length of about 6 cm (2.5 inches) in long-fibre varieties, is known as lint.
When ripe, the boll bursts into a white, fluffy ball...
Have a great day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

My daughter and I had a such a great day on 5 September 2017. She had a free day, so we decided to drive north-east of the city and visit the Pioneer Acres Museum. The day started off with seeing three perched Swainson's Hawks, which were a bonus. We had passed the colourful old truck and tractor displayed on tall posts, to indicate Pioneer Acres, on various occasions and this time, we actually went to the museum. What an amazing collection of old farming equipment, some standing outdoors and many others in large sheds. Have to say that I am always attracted to older, rusty things, and there was no shortage of these, either.
"Pioneer Acres is operated by a team of volunteer members who, in many cases, have extended their golden years of retirement, performing the duties necessary to meet the club's objectives. These include work to collect, restore, maintain and demonstrate the artifacts which were used by the pioneers of early Alberta.
The end result is that present and future generations have the opportunity to glimpse into our pioneering past through the artifacts on display and demonstrated. Younger members of the club also learn the care, maintenance and operation of these living artifacts." From link below.
www.pioneeracres.ab.ca/member.aspx
While we were walking round the grounds, visiting each massive shed in turn, my daughter spotted a Plains Garter Snake, and waved me over to see it. She also saw several birds running round behind one of the sheds, and when I went to check, I found there were four Gray Partridge running off in the distance. A distant Jackrabbit completed our wildlife sightings, first noticed when it was standing tall and upright on its back legs in 'freeze mode'. My mind wandered to Alice in Wonderland : )
Though we did not do a tour of the inside of the "Long" House, we found it an impressive building, complete with a few Sunflowers, Hollyhock and other flowers in the garden, and a metal windmill.
"The "Long" House was built in 1914 by John Thomas on a farm just northwest of Irricana, Alberta. It has been lived in by three generations of the Long Family since 1914. The house was donated to Pioneer Acres, moved to our location, and restored to 1929 status." From the Pioneer Acres website.
There is also an old schoolhouse on the Museum site. "The Crown School, built in 1905, was located west of Three Hills on Highway 583. It closed in 1953 and was bought by the district of Allingham for use as a community league. In 1996, the building was relocated to Pioneer Aces of Alberta Museum." From the Alberta Teachers' Association website.
After spending a long time walking round the grounds, we decided to drive through Irricana itself in order to get back to the highway. I had seen photos on the Internet of three murals there - sunflowers, crayons, and a view of the old grain elevators that had once stood nearby - and I wanted to go and see them. All near each other, as this town only has a few streets. I had never been to Irricana before and I was impressed with what a delightful place it is, full of brightly coloured murals, and well kept. One of the outer roads had many flower beds along the edge, watered with well water, looking most attractive.
I had asked my daughter if she was interested in calling in at the Silver Springs Botanical Gardens in NW Calgary, if there was time after our drive east. I had planned the drive ahead of time, partly because I had also seen a photo somewhere on the Internet of a rather nice old barn that I really wanted to see. We were not disappointed, though it was a shame to see that the cupola had fallen from the roof since that photo was taken. I had never driven through the town of Airdrie before, but did the "drive" on Google Earth the night before and it looked straightforward enough.
Returning to the city via Cochrane, my daughter told me how to get to Silver Springs. I had never driven there before, but I had been there with a friend last year, I think on 1 October, and thoroughly enjoyed these meticulously kept gardens. We were just too hot and tired to see every inch of the garden, but finished off with photographing sunflowers and enjoying the American Goldfinches that were feeding on them, before we continued on our way.
A great day, despite the heat and smoke from the B.C. and Alberta wildfires (distant low visibility, too). Thanks so much, Rachel - hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. We drove 256 km (used about half a tank of gas, or less). I was absolutely tired out from the heat and driving unfamiliar roads.
