I love these kind of clouds especially in early morning or late evening and add a still lake and I am mesmerized. I wish you a great weekend my friends!

I am using this combo quite a lot (Fuji X-Pro1 and Helios 44M-7). Both are second-hand items. The camera is approaching 'vintage' status and the lens has it already. Prices have recently gone up, but you can still get this or similar combos for comparatively little money. In this case, you would get a very solid piece of equipment - it would not offer the latest technology (and this combo does respond best to manual photography) but in terms of image quality and artistic versatility this combination is able to produce the goods. Shot done with the Fuji X-Pro3 plus Samyang 135/2 at F22.
Burg Gutenfels dominates the skyline of Kaub at 110m in height and provided back up for the Pfalzgrafenstein toll castle to choke off the flow of traffic and extract tolls to fill the coffers of the Holy Roman Empire with their cut of the river merchants purses.
Built in the 13th century by the lords of Falkenstein-Münzenbergit it collected tolls until the 16th century and eventually passed through many hands until it fell into the hands of the Prussian empire in the 19th century.
The castle became private in the early 20th century and is now a guest house hotel which gives you a chance to stay in an 800 year old fairy tale castle with some of the best views of the Mittle Rhine valley.
Excerpted from their website “With the closure of the heavy castle gates, the noise and hectic of the outside world disappear. A new world full of romantic magic surrounds you. Because of this, and because of its age and the many traditions surrounding it, Burg Gutenfels has been made into a stylish guest-house, where guests from all over the world are made more than welcome.”
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR, PS and DXO Nik
Kind of an experiment. Merged pano of two film frames using Hugin. Storm last week over KC. It's grainy/noisy but I like the grit.
A nice outing with a great photographer, Steven Nokes, around Kinder (hope you don't mind me posting!). The weather was a bit crap on top but there was plenty of water in the clough. Think there were one or two shots that were nice. Probably better when the heather is out or a bit later when the grasses have died back a bit. Will be nice if it freezes.
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll get married, maybe you won't.
Maybe you will have children or maybe not.
Maybe you'll get divorced at forty.
Maybe you'll dance with her on her 75th wedding anniversary.
Whatever happens, don't congratulate yourself too much, but don't beat yourself up either.
Your choices are gambles.
Like anyone else's.
Enjoy your body.
Use it in every way you can.
Without fear and without fearing what people think.
It's the greatest tool you'll ever have.
Dance.
Even if the only place you have to do it is your living room.
Read the instructions, even if you don't follow them.
Don't read beauty magazines.
They will only make you feel horrible.
Try to get to know your parents.
You never know when they'll be gone forever.
Treat your brothers well.
They are the best link to the past and the ones most likely to care for you in the future.
Realize that friends come and go.
But some, the most precious, will remain.
Work hard to bridge geographical and lifestyle gaps, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York for a while, but leave it before it hardens you.
Even live in California for a while, but leave it before it makes you soft.
Don't mess with your hair, otherwise when you're forty it will look like an eighty-five year old.
Be cautious about accepting advice, but be patient with those who give it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing them is a way of fishing out the past from oblivion, cleaning it up, painting the ugliest parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But take the advice… this time.
A nice sunrise on Kinder looking to the Great Ridge. Clear sky forecast so nice to get some low cloud.
I don't use this as often as I'd like, but when I do, I really enjoy it.
A relatively recent replacement for a turntable I had since high school. It didn't break the bank but easily could have; little did I know a new turntable can require a second mortgage. And that's just for the turntable! Then there's the cartridge, the preamp, and while you're at it . . .
Musical note: I much prefer Blue Train to Kind of Blue, but the latter made for a better title. Either way, jazz is sexier in vinyl.
Technical note: This was the first time I used live view to manually focus. It's the bomb!

Taken on the slopes of Kinder. Wherever you see a stand of Silver Birch trees Fly Agaric will usually be present.
And when you're crying out
When you fall and then can't pick
Your heavy on the ground
When the friends you thought you had
Haven't stuck around
That's when you feel my kind of love...
Never was the kind to do as I was told... series
(Ride like the wind, Christopher Cross, 1979)

I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching and I'm growing old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
(Heart of Gold, Neil Young, 1972)
