"Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,
But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’"

Lens is the chunky Minolta MC Rokkor QE 100mm f3.5 Macro. In fairness I should be comparing this lens to my Pentax-M 100mm f4 macro, rather than the Rikenon. Both the Rokkor and the Pentax will focus down to half life-size.
The Pentax 'M' design philosophy was to produce lenses that were elegant, light, and compact. Almost all had a 49mm filter thread. The focus ring on the Pentax is buttery smooth and superbly dampened.
In contrast the Rokkor is like a brick (592g vs just 378g) and utilitarian in design. Yes, the lens is a smidgin faster (f3.5 vs f4), though not enough to justify the weight difference. Filter thread is 55mm. The focus ring moves in a way that suggests the lens has seen plenty of use.
While the two lenses handle quite differently, I do like the solid feel of the early Rokkor lenses.
The results so far look very nice.
As a comparison, I had photographed this same clump of daises just over a year ago - with the Rikenon.

Remember, you can never have too many macro lenses.
De la visite rare dans le coin, 2 Hiboux moyen-duc qui n'avaient pas choisi le coin le plus tranquille du parc. En effet, ils étaient bien installés chacun dans leur conifère très près du sentier. L'an dernier dans les mêmes dates un individu avait été vu à cet endroit, la nature est surprenante.

J'ai tant caché mes différences
Sous des airs ou des faux semblants
J'ai cru que d'autres pas de danses
Me cacheraient aux yeux des gens
Je n'ai jamais suivi vos routes
J'ai voulu tracer mon chemin
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Ou l'on oublie ses souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir
J'ai perdu tant de fois la trace
Des rêves pour lesquels je vivais
Je n'ai pas su te dire je t'aime
Seulement te garder
Il faut aussi dire ses doutes
Et les poser dans d'autres mains
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir.
As I hid my differences
Air or under false pretenses
I thought that others do not dance
Me hiding in the eyes of people
I have never followed your route
I wanted to trace my way
To go higher, go higher
Or we forget memories
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future
I lost both times the trace
Dreams where I lived
I have not been able to tell you I love you
Only you keep
It must also be doubts
And ask them in other hands
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future.

Mike High plus a few floors to be exact. Real Estate values have tripled here in the last twenty years. A building boom no doubt.
I had a couple of free nights to roam D-town and ended-up with this classic perspective looking east.

As another sun sets on another year, I want to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a very happy and healthy 2017. May the new year bring you and yours great joy and peace, and an abundance of blessings and love.
Happy New Year! ❤️

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design.

My parents were down visiting last week. You can see my father, Border Mac, below. The first shot is him in action and the other is him, the day before in Brighton, reviewing the pictures he'd just taken. I think he got some good ones - hopefully he'll post them soon!

La colline d'Ensérune domine d'une centaine de mètres les plaines alentour et offre ainsi une excellente vue panoramique sur une partie des régions de Béziers et de Narbonne, jusqu'aux Pyrénées. Entre autres, ce point de vue permet d'appréhender en un seul regard l'étang de Montady, situé au nord, juste au pied d'Ensérune.
Site archéologique et musée d’Ensérune, Centre Des Monuments Nationaux.
Un village gaulois parmi les plus importants du Midi méditerranéen.
Ce site archéologique est un remarquable témoignage de village protohistorique.
Bâti sur un promontoire rocheux, il offre un panorama à 360° sur la plaine viticole dont l'étang asséché de Montady.
En contrebas, passait la Via Domitia qui reliait Rome à l'Espagne.
_631 pour le Antilles
Le Latécoère 631 est un hydravion transatlantique civil. Fleuron de l'industrie Latécoère, il fut le plus grand hydravion jamais construit à son époque. Le prototype fut saisi par les Allemands pendant l'Occupation, et bombardé par les alliés. Les derniers Latécoère 631 ont été retirés du service en 1955 après la perte des appareils no 7 (compagnie Latécoère, perdu en mer), 6 (compagnie Air France, perdu dans l'Atlantique), 3 (SEMAF, au large du Cap Ferret) et 8 (France-Hydro, au Cameroun). Le 631 faisait principalement la liaison biscarrosse- Fort de France.
The Latécoère 631 is a civilian transatlantic seaplane. The flagship of the Latécoère industry, it was the largest hydroplane ever built in its time. The prototype was seized by the Germans during the Occupation, and bombed by the allies. The last Latécoère 631 were removed from service in 1955 after the loss of No. 7 aircraft (Latécoère company, lost at sea), 6 (Air France company, lost in the Atlantic), 3 (SEMAF, off Cap Ferret) and 8 (France-Hydro, Cameroon). The 631 was mainly the biscarrosse-Fort de France route.

Dans un village Masaï, danse traditionnelle des hommes de l'ethnie, caractérisée par les sauts impressionnants des guerriers.
Les Masaï ou Maasaï, les plus connus car les plus accessibles des tribus du Kenya et vivant à proximité des parcs animaliers fréquentés par les touristes, constituent une population d’éleveurs et de guerriers semi-nomades d'Afrique de l'Est, répartie principalement dans le centre et le sud-ouest du Kenya et au nord de la Tanzanie.
Ils ont résisté aux incitations des gouvernements kényan et tanzanien visant à leur faire adopter un mode de vie plus sédentaire et à adopter l’agriculture.
La vie traditionnelle des Maasaï s’organise autour du bétail, qui constitue leur principale source de nourriture mais, même si la viande et le sang sont des constituants traditionnels du régime maasaï, ce ne sont pas des aliments de base. Les Maasaïs consomment d'importantes quantités de plantes dont ils connaissent les vertus médicinales.
De langue nilotique, ils sont apparentés à l'ethnie Turkana qui vit plus au nord, près du lac du même nom et dont je parlerai prochainement.
