From spring to autumn 1891, Monet devoted himself to the treatment of a new subject, the only one he painted throughout this period: poplar trees. He produced a group of about 20 canvases depicting the trees planted on the edge of a marsh situated on the left bank of the Epte, two kilometres upstream from Giverny. The site had been put up for sale during the summer, and the plan was to cut down these trees. After the mayor had refused to grant a reprieve, Monet found himself forced to pay a sum of money to the timber merchant to stop the trees being felled before he had finished the series. Having set up in a boat, he made the most of the perspective effect offered by the line of poplars, which followed the winding course of the river upstream, forming a kind of large ‘S’. He was then able to form decorative compositions that were built around curved lines and counterbalanced by the verticals of the trunks. Monet painted several sub-series, reproducing the trees face-on and reflected in the river, but sometimes he reduced the motif to the simple vertical line of the trunks. With this new series, the painter repeated the approach he had undertaken the previous year with the Meules. The titles echo those he had chosen for that first series. The aim was identical in both cases: to depict the variations in light and seasons. The ‘instantaneity’ of these paintings is meant to convey the impression one feels when encountering the subject at a precise moment. The poplars series was the first to be exhibited without any other painting, as a complete entity in itself, when it was shown in the Durand-Ruel gallery in 1892.

On December 19, 2024, I paid a visit to the two museums hosted in Gadagne, an imposing Renaissance ensemble in Lyon St-Jean, France. The first museum in devoted to the Puppetry and the second is the Lyon's History Museum (www.gadagne-lyon.fr/en).
I loaded my Nikon F4 (year 1989, see the details about the camera bellow) with a Rollei RPX 400 which is the former formula of the Agfa APX 400. The film cartridge is DX-coded and I did not modified the nominal DX-coded 400 ISO sensitivity.
I choose the AF Nikkor lens 1:1.8 f=85mm with a protective Hoya HMC UV 62mm screw-on filter plus its dedicated Nikon HN-23 metal shade hood. I brought along too the Nikon SB-26 flashlight in my bag in case of necessity.

After at view 30, the last seven views were completed the day after with a series a views of my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera at home. The film was then rewound (manually) and processed the film developed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 12min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta Auto Bellows with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The 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 14.1.1) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

About the camera :
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grab underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
The camera was exported abroad thereafter attested by the presence of the golden oval little sticker("Passed" on the DP-20 viewfinder. In order to certify the quality production, two Japanese organizations, the Japan Camera Industry Institute (JCII) and the Japan Machinery Design Center (JMDC), joined forces to verify and mark the conformity of products for the foreign market. This is how, between the 1950s and 1980s, this famous little gold sticker was affixed, with the legendary "Passed", meaning that the device had been checked. Finally, when we say that the device had been checked, the production line had been checked because each device could not be checked individually.

About the flash :
I received from a German seller for 50€ this Nikon Speedlight electronic flash SB-26 that was, at the time of Nikon F4, the most powerful dedicated Nikon flash (Guide Number 36 at full power and 100 ISO).
The SB-26 communicates with the Nikon F4 body (and many other Nikon camera's) and can be operated in many different modes including TTL real-time metering with automatic equilibration of the ambient light using the 5-zone matrix metering done by the DP-20 photometric viewer as well in the center-weighted mode. Other possibilities include the normal TTL mode, an Auto mode using the own sensor of the flash and a manual mode with 7 power levels.
The flash head can cover the optical field from super-wide angle lenses 18-20mm, wide-angle lenses 28mm and 35mm, normal lenses 50mm, and long-focal lenses at 70mm and 85mm. The head can be rotated according two axis for indirect lightening. In addition, the SB-26 has a special focusing aid for the Nikon F4 autofocus system, projecting in the the darkness a red focusing image. SB-23 flash can be also used as master or slave flash in a coordinated flash system.
The flash requires 4 AA alkaline cells for approximately 100 lights at full power and much more with energy recycling at lower power levels.

On 26 February 2025, the auspicious day devoted to Lord Shiva, Maha-Shivaratri, was celebrated at the Shree Peetha Nilaya ashram with Paramahamsa Sri Vishwananda and over 1000+ participants.
A full day and night of activities began with the customary outside abhishekam to Hari Bhakta Poorna Shiva in the morning, and a lecture followed in the afternoon. In the evening, the main worship ceremonies consisted of four main abhishekams. Everyone offered water for each of the four abhishekams, spaced throughout the night into the morning of the next day, and an energetic seva team organised and gave prasad to everyone after each abhishekam.
The entire event was filled with vibrant kirtan to Shiva as well as to Krishna, the One on whom Lord Shiva meditates, and, despite staying up all night, the musicians, singers, and entire crowd kept the temple rocking. The final arati concluded the event after 6 am, after which vibhuti (holy ash) was distributed to everyone.

This album is devoted to Hana’s life in photos from 2004 when we re-homed her from the RSPCA until December 2015 when she sadly died.
Hana had a bad start in life, being one of 40 dogs being kept in very poor conditions in one house. Thankfully the RSPCA rescued all the dogs and found new homes for them.
Hana continued to have many health problems during her life including being afraid of many sounds, IBS which meant she was always on special diets, allergy problems, a heart murmur and in her final year she developed a canine version of Dementia.
Hana was a very affectionate dog and was totally devoted to our Sheltie, Bonsai. Sadly Bonsai died in 2009. Shortly after we were lucky enough to re-home another Sheltie called Mia who bonded immediately with Hana, as you will see from the photos.

Journaling - I may be 45 years old and so many would consider me as grown-up but I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. Over the years I’ve been jealous of people who just knew what they wanted to do. For a while I wanted to be a nurse but when I really sat down and thought about it wasn’t really want I wanted to do. So I went to University. I studied Geography not because I wanted to be a teacher, which people often would suggest of those of us studying Geography - that was one thing I knew I didn’t want. Out of college I got a job as computer programmer not because I thought I really wanted to do it but, because at the time there were plenty of jobs doing it. Since then I’ve been a Mom, sold scrapbook supplies and currently I help run associations. I’ve yet to find the one thing I really want to be but I’ve not grown-up yet so its OK to be undecided isn’t it?
THERE WERE NEVER SUCH DEVOTED SISTERS - Janice Lovell (left), JoAnn Blackwood and Joyce Stevens, all formerly Clark, were born Aug. 11, 1950, in Decatur and were the first recorded triplets born in Wise County. The sisters will celebrate their 60th birthdays Wednesday. The triplets are pictured with Stevens' dog, Maddie.

The Westmoreland Museum of American Art, Greensburg, PA, devoted to American art, with a particular concentration on the art of southwestern Pennsylvania. This is a great museum - I highly recommend it! I was especially lucky to visit during the “A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America” exhibit which was an unexpected treat! The renovation (appeared to be a new building until I watched the time lapse construction video) is great, the cantilevered wing exhibit hall is impressive, take notice of the staircase with glass treads and stainless steel side structure leading to the upper level and the cantilever gallery addition. 221 N Main St, Greensburg, PA 15601. Vacation 2016 Day 1
The pattern of the zinc paneling, which wraps the cantilever, reflects the internal geometry of the truss structure. Floor-to-ceiling glass offers panoramic views at the angled terminus of the cantilever, which houses both a new temporary and permanent exhibition galleries. www.architectmagazine.com/project-gallery/westmoreland-mu...
