La platja de S'Agaró, amb el famós Hostal de la Gavina al fons, a principis dels anys 60 del s. XX (diapositiva del meu avi).
La tardor del 2025, remenant per les golfes, vaig trobar unes bosses amb quelcom que havia perdut de vista feia anys i em feia molta il·lusió tornar a trobar: centenars de diapositives del meu avi matern. Unes 1500 aproximadament! Sabia que existien perque les recordava de quan varem buidar la casa de la meva avia quan va morir, el 2005. El meu avi ja havia mort a principis dels anys 80. Son diapositives en color, molt ben conservades (majoritariament Kodakchrome, crec).
Tot i que una part no tenen cap data, la majoria tenen el més i l'any del revelat estampats al marquet, element molt util per a classificar-les: van del 1965 al 1982. Crec que les sense data son lògicament anteriors, probablement de principis dels anys 60. També tinc força clar que foren fetes amb la cà mera Voigtlander Vito BL que tenia el meu avi, que encara conserva un familiar (i que encara funciona perfectament i he fet fotos amb ella i tot!). La Vito BL es fabricà entre 1956 i 1958, pel que el meu avi la deuria comprar a finals dels anys 50 o principis dels 60.
=================================
The beach of S'Agaró (in the Costa Brava), with the famous Hostal de la Gavina (a luxury hotel) in the background, in the early 1960s (slide taken by my grandfather).
In the fall of 2025, rummaging through my mother's attic, I found some bags with something I had lost sight of for years and was very excited to find again: hundreds of slides from my maternal grandfather. About 1500 or so! I knew they existed because I remembered them from when we emptied my grandmother's house when she died, in 2005. My grandfather had already died in the early 80s. They are color slides, very well preserved (mostly Kodakchrome, I think).
Although some of them have no date, most have the month and year of development stamped on the frame, a very useful element for classifying them: they range from 1965 to 1982. I think that the ones without a date are logically earlier, probably from the early 60s. I am also quite sure that they were taken with the Voigtlander Vito BL camera that my grandfather had, which a relative still has (and which still works perfectly and I have taken photos with it and everything!). The Vito BL was manufactured between 1956 and 1958, so my grandfather must have bought it in the late 50s or early 60s.
As it was the season for ‘The Holly and Ivy’ I decided to explore some of the Ivy in Tiddesley wood, a Worcestershire Wildlife Trust reserve. I really liked the trails of Ivy vines that surrounded this host tree.
Such an amazing night, and we raised almost 60k linden for Don't Be a Monster! Come see us and all our amazing designers today!

Autumn - Höst bliss at Kvarnbacken in Mårdsjön, Jämtland, Sweden.
I love seasons and the autumn is special with its colours, the crisp and clear air in the mornings.
What is your Autumn or season feelings?

Our AirBnB host had slipped a page into the guest book saying "My favorite place to stargaze in the desert is a plot of land out in the middle of Wonder Valley. I call it the Star Box. It's far from light pollution and you'll be all alone out there. Venmo $25 for access to the land. I do not take responsibility for nails or glass in tires. Arrive before sunset or you'll never find the place." The tire thing worried us, but we paid up, got the coords, and checked it out in daylight - soft sand road, but seemed fine. It was indeed magical - I hadn't seen a sky this big before - free of obstructions in every direction, ringed by distant mountains all the way around, a totally enveloping experience. I'd expected the temps to drop with nightfall, but a warm wind persisted. We ate pizza and watched the North Star appear, then watched as cosmos lit up. The downside of the location for astro photography is that there were no landmarks, so there's nothing to include (skies with stars and nothing else are boring). But we had fun doing some light painting in the desert while we waited for the full star show. Amazing evening.
I södra Sverige är merparten av grenarna fortfarande gröna men om man tittar efter lite nogrannare ser man att starten på hösten är här.
You can still see mostly green tree and vegetation in the southern parts of Sweden. But if you take a closer look, you will soon find evidence that autumn is coming.
