Another calm and soothing view as we zip home somewhere above southern Germany. The massive anticyclone parked over most of Europe these past few days has been a boon for star photography - even though the people on the ground, in the snow and fog, would likely disagree!
Net-curtained window view out to the street and a red geranium in the garden.

Seen from my salt hotel.
Sunset over the vast expanse of the Salar de Uyuni.
In the SW of Bolivia in the Andes, the largest salt pan in the world.
A prehistoric, dried-up lake of almost 11,000 km2. The brine beneath the surface 121 metres.
It resembles a frozen lake Larger than Lower Bavaria, for example.

Von meinem Salzhotel aus gesehen.
Sonnenuntergang über der riesigen Weite des Salar de Uyuni.
Im Südwesten Boliviens in den Anden gelegen, die größte Salzpfanne der Welt.
Ein prähistorischer, ausgetrockneter See von fast 11.000 km2. Die Sole unter der Oberfläche 121 Metern.
Er ähnelt einem zugefrorenen See. Größer als Niederbayern zum Beispiel.
Firewall: a system for stopping malicious computer intrusion and disrupting civilian air traffic... talk about multi-purpose! One of those days when it all falls into place: a static atmosphere, the low sun - and a wall of cumulus clouds enveloped in haze...
Found in the barn, the yellow bottle just seems to look right in the slightly worn and dusty glass & window frame.
ODC_ while you were sleeping -- the barn window waited - was the bottle there last night or did someone place it there while you were sleeping?

There couldn’t be a more appropriate place for this image than Flickr – because this latticed window bay, in Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, England, is where the world’s first photograph was taken.
Lacock Abbey was the grand home of William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-77), a wealthy polymath who studied mathematics, optics, botany, science and the arts. His experiments in the mid-1830s led him to discover the negative/positive photographic process – fixing images through the action of light and chemistry on paper. These 'negatives' could be used to make multiple prints and this process revolutionised image making.
In the nearby village of Lacock, a carpenter made a wooden camera to Fox Talbot's own design, and with it he took his – and the world's – first photograph right here. He later pioneered photographic engraving (printing photographs in ink) and his processes became the basis of virtually all subsequent photography.
‘I do not claim to have perfected an art’, he remarked, ‘but to have commenced one, the limits of which it is not possible at present exactly to ascertain.’ He would, I think, have been an avid contributor to Flickr!
♦ Lacock Abbey, and the village of Lacock, are now in the care of the National Trust.
Last winter I put away my Wet Plate Collodion chemistry, eschewing it for film for the coming months instead. I haven't missed the mess, the limitations, the error-prone nature of the materials. But today I decided to take a look at my months-old chemistry and see if any of it was usable, so I got out the B&J 5x7 and put the Voigtlander Petzval on it and made this tintype. I guessed at the exposure (90 seconds as dusk approached) and it was perfect! Surprisingly, the Old Workhorse collodion still has some life in it, in spite of being ten months old. I gotta admit, the vibe and tonality of a well exposed tintype can be really beautiful.
Of Hulls Maritime Museum,,This Photo was taken from inside The 'Caffe Nero' this building dates from 1901 and it was once the old Penny Bank.

The magic of a high-end camera sensor: ISO 32,000, handheld (above my head no less), no stabilization in a vibrating airplane... and it still manages to produce a usable photo. Bearing down on the Croatian towns of Petrinja (left) and Sisak (right), back in Yugoslav times one of the country's main industrial powerhouses. Indeed, even today, quite a bit of Croatia's automotive fuel is produced by the Sisak Oil Refinery, visible above the right hand PFD...
