Camera: Ansco Panda 620 toy camera, circa 1946. www.flickr.com/photos/194048042@N06/55029033506/in/datepo... Definitely a "cute" camera! 60mm fixed-focus meniscus lens, plenty soft around the edges. I used a trimmed-down 120 roll and it was murder advancing the film; it even wrinkled the film itself slightly. In future, I'll respool the 120 onto an old 620 spool!
Film: Ilford FP4+ 120 film, ISO 125.
Developing: HC-110, Dilution B, 8 minutes.
Ghosts are Real - Leucistic/dilute plumage Bald Eagle (not sure about the exact technical term). A couple friends found and documented this bird around the bay from 2016-2019. Eventually this bird, "Lucky" as we called him, settled down with a normal plumage female in south Santa Clara County and successfully raised offspring. The bird hasn't been seen since 2019, and presumably moved on or passed. Nevertheless, it's most impressive that he beat the odds and survived to adulthood and passed on his genes. Nature is truly inspiring and I'm not sure I'll ever get a chance to see a bird like this up close!

I seldom can capture planes in flight with much detail when they are very high up and traveling fast. This little propeller plane was low enough for me to get a mediocre image out of it, so I started playing with some textures for effect. I liked the moon, but it still wasn't quite what I wanted. That's when I thought of putting the uncropped image over the cropped one, and got this pair of planes, with one looking somewhat like a ghost plane! It was rather fun, even if not the best image out there, so I might try similar effects in the future with crisper images and see how they turn out.
The reason I wanted the moon in it was because years ago my brother and I went for a night flight in a plane that was a lot like this one, with a friend who was going for his pilot's license. When we left the runway, it was daytime, but we continued flying north until the sun set and the moon came up. It was really quite a sight to see! It was a lot like flying in a VW Bug! There were windows in the one we were in, and a backseat, which was where I was. the full moon that night was spectacular from up in the sky like that, and we flew right over the ocean.
The pilot, Bill, turned south to head home, and began flying over A-1-A, the beachside highway that runs pretty much the length of the state, with breaks here and there. When he did so, he cut the engine! Let me tell you, I know it's part of their training, but there's nothing quite as scary as being up in the sky in a little tin can, and suddenly the engine cuts out! that little thing that sounded like a lawn mower is a comforting sound, lol! He told us not to worry, since he had lined up the highway below just in case the engine wouldn't come back on, and would just glide down and land if necessary! I was quite relieved when the noisy little motor started back up!
I will never forget our night flight in the little plane under a full moon! (No ghosts, though!)

Reflections....
I rather enjoy the feeling of having seen something before but not entirely sure where, how or why. I enjoy the feeling as it teases my mind trying to recall the exact place, but instead it dredges up all kinds of interesting, dusty memories with it. Images like this one here, are kind of like that for me. They happen, I see it and I am immediately drawn into a feeling of having seen it before...somewhere...in my life and conjures up dusty ghosts of the past. There is something appealing yet at the same time a bit disturbing...haunting. And when the dust settles again, it will be forgotten. Kind of anyway. Luckily I have my camera with me more often than not these days so when the ghost appears I can easily catch it. Kind of.

Inside a kitchen of an old late 1800's home in Bodie, California. The entire town is a protected ghost town now that folks can visit for the sake of historicity. Photos are abundant.
The ghost town of Loverna, Sask, is one of my favorite ghost towns. I drove 40 miles out of my way to get there last weekend on a drive home that was already 6 hours long. I couldn't be that close and not take advantage of those delicious clouds!

Not only is Rialto Beach covered with giant driftwood, but the trees in the surrounding forest nearest the ocean have also died. It creates quite the creepy feeling.
Taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Leaves"
I saw the shape of a flying ghost in this fallen leaf, with the very low sun emphasising the form of the leaf.
no not ghost gums, have no idea what they were but they looked kinda spooky, had to give em' the fractals treatment.

Ghost Day is a great chance to go out and take some cool pictures...next year my pictures will be scary-good with the D90...good high ISO performance is vitally important on Ghost Day.

I’m fascinated with the ghost pipes that I found growing in my garden. If you look closely you’ll see that they’re actually white flowers on white stalks. Very unusual. I also love their name😌
