A photo from the "always with you" camera in the car. Sometime in the evening I stopped and pulled the trigger. I don't remember when and where. Now it's particularly nice to experience the beauty around us quite unexpectedly on the computer.

In the north of Kenya we traveled on dust-roads and corrugated iron tracks. Since the Landy was anything but tight, we always got out of the car covered with dust in the evening. But it was great! Sometimes we pulled a mile-long plume of dust behind us.

Corn poppies from the garden. The photo is from the first film I took with the new Nikon F90. The photos were made without a tripod.

I've started to always carry my F90 in the car. Sometimes you see something special on the side of the road or a cloud formation, a mood - whatever. If I only have my phone with me, the picture goes to the photos on the computer and that's it - but if it's a film photo, I might show it on Flickr. That's exactly how this foggy picture came about.

The peacock butterfly remained sitting on the lilac for a long time. A nice, big butterfly - let's see if I catch a swallowtail ...

I had heard that Kodak had reintroduced the "Kodak Gold 200" and wanted to try it. The film is quite nice - but in backlight the colors change a lot. Violet dominates. This results in "artistic" effects - but is far away from reality. My favorite film will probably not be "Kodak Gold".

Usually these kind of photos make it straight into my bucket - but somehow I like this one. Maybe someone else likes it too.

Super cute and not easy to get in front of the lens.

The north of Kenya is desert-like. There are very few bushes and shrubs. Everything is in beautiful brown and ocher tones. We drove there at a leisurely pace, when we suddenly passed a flowering bush. I thought: where there is one, there is more - let's look for it! So we drove on and on and kept our eyes open - but not a single flowering bush left far and wide. So we turned and drove back to this miracle. Sometimes you only recognize miracles at second glance!

Fridolin is an old, friendly gander. When our goose is brooding, he sometimes sits on the eggs too - but so far there have been no chicks. Fridolin is probably too old for that.

This year the roses came very nicely in my garden - actually amazing with all the rain!

My "baby" Graflex. The smallest large format camera. It processes plan film in size 6x9 cm, but can also expose 120 film.

We drove from Namibia along the Okavango River towards Maun. We set up our camp at a pretty little lodge. We were able to spend the night directly by the Okavango. It was only a few steps from the cars to a barrier made of two wooden poles. Behind it the land broke off steeply and the river flowed about 5 meters below us. When it got dark we heard the hippos snorting in the river. I took the large MagLite torch to watch them and went to the barrier. I hadn't noticed that it was over the cliff at one end. When I wanted to reach them I plunged into the water - to the hippos and crocodiles. Fortunately, I didn't drop the lamp. Swimming, I tried to find a place on the rock face to get out of the water. But it was impossible. Corinna and the others heard me and came straight away. The Landy's strong tow rope was my salvation. I could climb on it in safety. Apart from a few scratches, nothing happened to me.
I had to park the Landy further away from the river. I couldn't stand his proximity that evening.

One of the funniest and craziest trees in Africa is the quiver tree. The branches of the tree contain a lot of water and can be easily hollowed out. The Bushmen use it to make quivers for their arrows or vessels for the household.

We were on the way to Etosha, a huge clay pan in northern Namibia. One morning we set up our Landy near a watering hole and watched animals. It had zebras and wildebeest, a couple of springboks, and more. Etosha is very touristy and little by little more and more tourists came in their cars. One thought that the best place would be as close as possible to the animals and put his cart on a small bridge in front of everyone else. What he hadn't seen was a big lion. It was in the shade next to the small bridge, about 50 cm below the car. We shook our heads and were about to move when the guy suddenly tried to get out. All the cars started honking wildly and people were screaming. Then he noticed that something was wrong and quickly drove off.

The colors of the sky that evening were amazing. I was out with the dogs and fortunately had the Nikon 35mm camera with me.

Towards Illeret (Part two)
We drove on towards Illeret. Around a bend we came across two police Land Rovers. Four young police officers stood in front of the vehicles; another man was on the bunk of one of the cars. We stopped to say hello. The men spoke a little English. We offered water, which was gladly accepted. I asked if the man in the back wanted water too. The police said it wasn't necessary. I said, I really had enough water with me, to which the police said it was okay if I really wanted to. The man in the back was handcuffed to the vehicle. When I gave him the bottle, I saw a wound in the abdomen, probably a gunshot wound. I told the policemen that I had bandages with me - whereupon they made me understand that it wasn't necessary. I didn't dare to insist and we set off again.
Later Illeret came into view. Two helicopters and military trucks could be seen from afar. We didn’t think anything good. When we got there, they made it clear to us that we couldn't think of going any further. A gang of around 100 robbers from Ethiopia had crossed the border two days ago to steal cattle. Several people were killed, including two police officers. Now we were suddenly able to classify the experiences of the last few days!
We weren't allowed to cross the border. There was nothing left but to drive back 500 km and reach Ethiopia via the main route (another 500 km). Our mood had sunk to rock bottom. Only the last bottle of whiskey from the couple from the second Rover helped us to get through the evening reasonably well.

From a colour positive (slide) shot using my Nikon F90 SLR. "Scanned" with my Nikon D850 and a Nikkor 105mm macro lens. I was on a roadtrip from Winnipeg MB to Calgary AB. This was somewhere between the Manitoba border and Regina SK. I think most likely around Mossomin SK. Map location is a guess :) .
There are many random, old abandoned buildings from the days of he first European settlers to the Canadian Prairies dotting the countryside in this part of Canada. Even old outhouses (w/c's) like this. :)
