CLAd Dial set Compur of my Zeh Zeca glass plate camera from 1920es. It has Uncoated Xenar 135mm f:4.5 and distance scale on bed. Shot few 9x12 sheets Fomapan 100 with it today to test it. Added a (not connected) rangefinder on top of it to shoot handheld of which this is an example. Development could be more even and I can live with little less dust also, but the camera works fine, which is nice!
“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.” ~ William Sharp
Okay, feeling a bit of nostalgia today...two weeks from today, we will be headed to our "home away from home" to ring in the New Year....can't think of a better way to spend the holiday than being with my soulmate in one of the most magical places we've ever visited. And as I was going through some of my archives from previous winters' trips, I came across one of my favorites....it was a dark, gloomy, snowy, & bitterly cold January day, but that always pales in comparison to being surrounded by such incredible natural beauty.
Have a fabulous Thursday...and thanks as always for stopping by to visit :-)

The Big Fish also called the Bigfish is a printed ceramic mosaic sculpture by artist John Kindness. 10 metres long and constructed in 1999 it is located at Donegall Quay in Belfast, near the Lagan Lookout and Custom House. The outer skin of the fish is a cladding of ceramic tiles decorated with texts and images relating to the history of Belfast. Material from Tudor times to present day newspaper headlines are included along with contributions from Belfast school children. The Big Fish also contains a time capsule storing information/images/poetry relating to the City.
Clad in shimmering scales and diadems, the elegant charioteers in Ladies of the Chariots were called amazones, so named for the strength needed to hold the reins from a standing position. These women raced horses at top speed around the interior track of the Hippodrome de l’Alma, an enormous iron and glass structure built in Paris in 1877.
French artist and illustrator Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902), Anglicized as James Tissot, places the viewer at an unusual vantage point, not in the stands with the rest of the audience but on the track, perilously close to the performers, heightening the risk involved in their act. He also takes great care to highlight the architectural and technological features of the Hippodrome, including the partly retractable ceiling and the electric lights, which enabled evening performances.
This painting was seen and photographed on exhibit (James Tissot: Fashion & Faith) at San Francisco's Legion of Honor Fine Arts Museum.

I found an interesting description of the London Dock, given in 1851 by Henry Mayhew. 'As you pass along this quay the air is pungent with tobacco, at that it overpowers you with the fumes of rum. Then you are nearly sickened with the stench of hides and huge bins of horns, and shortly afterwards the atmosphere is fragrant with coffee and spice.'
Looking downstream towards Limehouse.
Clad in the colorful dresses, the row of devotees is moving towards the Anil Kun -the spring about 6 kilmoteres above in the mountains, between the hilly terrain. A large number of other yatris are following them. HANGLAJ YATRA is the most sacred visit that the Hindu community living in Pakistan and around the globe perform every year and which activity takes place in Baluchistan, some 280 kilometers away from Karachi.
