Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-- Dylan Thomas
The Escombreras Valley, an old mining valley, is located southeast of Cartagena, in Murcia, Spain, and seems to belong to another planet; Salted fish factories already existed in these places in Roman times. In the middle of the 20th century, the first oil refinery on the Iberian Peninsula was inaugurated here. From that moment on, numerous petrochemical, gas, fertilizer and strontium chemistry companies began to establish themselves. This led to an increase in pollution that made residential life impossible for its neighbors and resulted in the disappearance of the old town. Large-tonnage ships from all over the world dock at its port. Oil and gas pipelines leave for the rest of the country. In this industrial framework, old, gigantic and abandoned spherical and cylindrical tanks coexist with other more modern ones whose whiteness stands out in the landscape. On the Escombreras' island, very close to the industrial complex, remains of a Greek sanctuary dedicated to Hercules and a Roman necropolis have been found.

When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, we gave our today . . . . .
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
For you pa X

As I was putting my camera away before catching the tram, I looked up and saw this lady watching me out of a tram window.
I lifted my camera, pressed the shutter… and her tram moved on….

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Especially When You Consider the Alternative : )
It’s that awful time of year. If I remember correctly, I'm supposed to celebrate… Cheers !!
I do not hwy but I do not use sonnar fifties as much as they deserve. Yes, they are not sharp all over the place and corners sometimes are unpleasantly blurred. So it is not a landscape lens (maybe). But colours and bokeh, it is second to none.
One will hardly say that this is a prewar (IIWW) lens
