I used a craft knife to scrape the cabbage tree leaves so I was left with stringy fibres. When I grouped all the fibres together I found it had quite a springy quality to it.
Natural arch developed in chalk & impure chalk in the Cretaceous of Kansas, USA.
This western Kansas landscape consists of chalk badlands and chalk pillars and a natural arch. The rocks are chalks and impure chalks (e.g., argillaceous chalk and chalky shale) that range in color from whitish to light gray to yellowish. Chalk is a biogenic, calcitic, marine sedimentary rock composed of numerous coccolith microfossils (see: www.soes.soton.ac.uk/staff/tt/eh/pics/lith2.gif). Coccoliths are individual calcareous plates that covered a single-celled photosynthetic marine organism called a coccolithophorid (a.k.a. coccolithophore) (see: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Emiliania_hux...). These beds were deposited in the ancient Western Interior Seaway, a section of ocean that existed during parts of the Mesozoic Era in what is now the American and Canadian Great Plains.

Rock arches are rare erosional features - those developed in chalk beds are even rarer. If a stream goes under an arch, it is known as a natural bridge. If no stream is present, the feature is a natural arch. Along lakeshores, they are called lake arches. Along oceanic coastlines, they are called sea arches. The highest concentration of natural arches on Earth is Arches National Park in eastern Utah.

On December 24, 2024, I picked up my venerable Leica M3 year 1956 (see below for details) for a photowalk in Lyon city, France. I went to Fourvière, enjoying a not too cold (6°C) and clear sunny weather.
My Leica was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film. I equipped the Summicron 2/5cm lens with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for all indoor scenes, and outdoor I mounted a push-on 42mm FOCA (France) Yellow x2.5 filter and a generic cylindrical stainless steel hood that, unfortunately, induced some vignette if not perfectly aligned, that should be corrected during the processing). I should find a 39mm screw-on filter more safe to use with my Summicron 2/5cm,
Expositions were determined for the indicated 400 ISO (28 DIN) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas and erected for the filter absorption if any.
The outside temperature was about 6°C with a bright sunny weather in the afternoon. Typically exposures outdoor were made at 1/250s with apertures ranging from f/8 to 11 and 1/50s or 1/25s at full aperture f/2 or f/2.8 indoor.

*** THE CRYPT
A majestic low church that welcomes Virgins from all over the world.
The crypt of Fourvière, dedicated to Saint Joseph, is identified as the low church. With the same surface area as the basilica, it was initially designed by Pierre Bossan as the main entrance to the sanctuary. The pilgrim had to “go to Mary through Joseph”, thus passing from the darkness of the crypt to the light of the basilica.
-----
After exposure, the film was processed in Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 6 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This Leica M3 circa 1956 (Ref. Leitz ISUMO), double stroke, was sold to me with a Leitz Wetzlar Summicron collapsible normal lens 1:2 f=5cm of the same period equipped with a 39mm screw-on protective filter, a 42mm push-on Leica lens cap and an original Leitz shade hood (Ref. Leitz IROOA).
The camera was serviced in Paris, France, in 2018 by Gérard Métrot at Photo-Suffren, (a Leica boutique) who worked on the maintenance of camera's of famous French photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. The camera was inspected by Odéon-Photo, Paris, another historic Leica place in Paris, in April 2024.
I sourced at the same time in Germany a stunning Leitz Leica leather bag (Ref; Leitz IDCOO) of the same model that appeared on the back cover page go the Leica brochure year 1954. This bag can accommodate the camera and a mounted Leica-Meter type M. The interior in covered with a carmin velvet in perfect condition.
The Leica M3 is one of the most iconic range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's and the 60's. It was produced in Wetzlar, Germany, in different versions at 226178 exemplars, between 1954 (n° 700000) and 1966 (n° 1164865, www.summilux.net/materiel/Leica-M3) . The Leica M3 was the result of the study of a "super-Leica" that was started before WWII and only achieved in the 50'S.
The greater improvement of the M3 compared the classical Leica's was in a magnificent and very complex range-finder combined to the view finder permitting the framing with the two eyes open, integrating the frame in the real and normal vision. The shutter integrates too the normal and the slow speeds in the same barillet. The film advance of this version of Leica M3 is also the typical "double-stroke" advance that was exclusive to the Leica M3 first versions.
The camera was transported to me from Paris to Lyon, France on April 26, 2024 and the bag arrived the day after.

Weston Park Museum
Weston Park was developed from the grounds of Weston Hall, a grand house built in the early 1800s for Thomas Harrison, an important saw maker in the city. In 1873, after the death of his daughters Eliza and Anne, the Council purchased the hall and grounds and commissioned Robert Marnock, the famous landscape designer, to create one of Sheffield's first public parks. The hall itself was converted into Sheffield City Museum
The museum opened to the public in 1875. The adjacent Mappin Art Gallery, built to house the collection of artwork bequeathed to the city by the Rotherham businessman John Newton Mappin, was added in 1887.
The original museum building was demolished in the 1930s and a purpose-built structure, adjoining the Mappin Art Gallery, was completed in 1937.
The complex was then officially known as the Sheffield City Museum and Mappin Art Gallery.
In December 1940 the Mappin Art Gallery suffered a direct hit in the Sheffield Blitz. A significant part of the building was destroyed and what remained was badly damaged.
During the 1950s and 1960s the City Museum remained open to the public, whilst the Mappin Art Gallery remained closed and in a partially demolished state.
The entire complex was closed in March 2003 for a complete renovation. The renovation project cost £17.3 million.
The complex reopened in October 2006 as Weston Park Museum. This removed the separate identity of the Mappin Art Gallery.
The museum closed again during the Summer of 2016 for a further refurbishment.

Every now and then I get people asking me how I develop my film. Well here it is, three drinks in, in my kitchen, watching a show. It isn't hard to do.
Yes! Screwed up my first self-develop job! I forgot to preform the final 5 min. rinse, thus leaving my negatives coated in clearing chems. I will certainly lose the negatives in time, but at least they will not fade on Flickr.

On September 7, 2024, at the annual photo fair of Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure, France, I found this Meyer-Optik Görlitz lens Oreston 1:1.8 f=50mm in M42 mount that I wanted to associate to my Praktica IV SLR camera body.
The lens was in acceptable condition for 20€ in the range range of price of my Praktica IV. Both were manufactured in Dresden, Germany in the year 1960’s. Oreston lens was marketed starting from 1965 in order to equip, in particular, the Praktica Nova that was anticipated to be produced massively by Pentacon for exportation (zeissikonveb.de/start/objektive/normalobjektive/oreston.html).
Oreston was a modern normal lens 6-lens double Gauss type, capable to compete with other foreign productions of that time, with a large aperture, automatic diaphragm mechanism, and optical performances that could not rival to Zeiss Jena productions (as the Flexon and Pancolar) but still very near at medium apertures.
For testing the lens, I loaded a 36-exposure black-and-white Fomapan 100.In the Praktica IV equipped with the Oreston lens. The lens was equipped a generic Yellow 49mm screw-on filter and a cylindrical modern shade hood for the views taken. The expositions were determined for 64 ISO instead of the nominal 100 ISO to compensate the filter light absorption, using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas or with the integrative dome for measurement of the incident light.

After complete exposure, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+50 at 20°C for 9 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg plus some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the Praktica IV camera :
I got the camera body Praktica IV and a set of related KDH Leipzig accessories from an eBay seller near Paris, France.. The whole arrived to me on January, 31, 2024, in Lyon, France.
The Praktica IV was designed by the prestigious KW (Kamera Werk Niedersedlitz) German company in Dresden on the basis of their previous Praktica FX SLR camera's. The camera was produced first under the KW name starting from June 1959 then within the Kombinat VEB Pentacon after the merge of the company in 1960.
166.800 Praktica IV and V (6 models) were produced until January 1966. Praktica IV essentially incorporates a condenser focusing screen plus a pentaprism. Due to the Praktica FX architecture the Pentaprism looks protruding from the camera body with an unusual style. It fits lenses with M42x1 mount and the mirror has no automatic return. The shutter is made of two horizontal curtains of rubberized fabric giving 1/500s to 1/2s plus B in two registers of slow speeds (1/2s to 1/10s) and high speeds (1/25s to 1/500s). The film is advanced coupled to the shutter cocking using either the right upper button or the rapid lever underneath the body.
The Praktica IV handles the "Auto" M42 lenses with the lever for automatic iris closing upon the release. Sequentially, when pressing the shutter release button, the diaphragm closes to the indicated value, the mirror is lift-off and finally the shutter is erased at the given value. If a non-auto (manual closing) M42 is used the pushing lever could be cancelled (declutched) moving a small red button to the right in the mirror chamber.
The camera camera came without lens but with a body cap and the original ever-ready leather bag with et "Ernermann tower" Pentacon logo. This model is likely the second Praktica IV essentially the same as the initial KW one with a different front plate. The camera was likely art of a collection and is completely preserved without use marks.
The KDH Leipzig (Kurt-Dieter Huffziger Foto- und Kinozubehör) accessories set included:
-A panoramic tripod head
-A set of three extension tubes M42x1)
- A big aluminum shade hood (screw-on 49mm) for wide-angle lens.
- A M42x1 metal body cap in its original box.
- An accessory shoe fitting the the Praktica IV eye piece.

A photo tour in Lyon Saint-Jean (Vieux Lyon), France on with my SLR Minolta SRT 101 (year 1971-1973) and a Minolta wide-angle lens MC W.Rokkor-HG 1:2.8 f=35mm of the same period. The camera was loaded with a Fujifilm Neopan Across II black-and-white film.
The 36-exposure film was exposed for 100 ISO and developed using The UltraFin T-Plus developper at dilution 1+4, 20°C, for 6min15s. Expositions were determined either by the camera readings or a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder privileging the shadow zones. The SRT 101 camera had a SR43 (or type "386") silver-oxide battery in a MR-9 adapter.
