Fun w/Digital M Images

Ah, Switzerland is lovely, you remind me. I haven't been to Zermatt or the Matterhorn; I spent a couple of months in and around Zürich in the late 1990s. Took the tram up to the top of Uetliberg many times.

My camera of choice in those days as a Minox C and a Nikon FM. Somewhere in my archives I have bunches of photos ...

Fond memories.

Godrey, indeed a lovely lovely city is Zurich..

a non-Leica image..

And along the Bahnhofstrasse; if you have some change burning in your pocket..

Best.

Great pix Rayyan. And and an intriguing story too.

The three mountains are in the Bernese Oberland. The Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.

Best.

I've been there many times, but somehow the viewpoint is unfamiliar. Where was this taken from?

Take 2 cable car rides from Murren or Wengen; past Schilthorn ( of James Bond fame ) and just wander around.

Of course you could take the cable cars from village of Grindwald and/or around lauterbaurn.

There are quite a few places one can get such views.

Ah, that explains it! I've only been to Mürren once, and while I thought I recognised the view, somehow it wasn't quite right.

I've been to Grindelwald many times, up to First, as well as Kleine Scheidegg, and am much more familiar with the views from there.

Life goes on, and we try to live in the present.

Traveler's Tales...

I pushed the door open. There was a loud clamor of the bell over the door.

He looked at me. He looked at me, once more. Scrawny, bandy legs stood in front of him.

' Would you like a kilt, lad ', he asked sizing me up.

' Depends, I said '. ' First my family history please '. ' You do accept English Pounds ? ', I added..looking for Scottish currency.

How much for a f/3.5-5.6 lens on cropped sensor camera...

Take my pic grandpa with a Leica rangefinder and Portra.

Who are they fooling! I ain't that gullible.

p.s. Grandpa you forgot to thank the nice folks for the ' likes'

Nice shot! I hadn't seen this exact angle before and I was confused - I recognized the grain silos and the bay but this makes the area look a bit nicer than it is - it's all trees and grass and the nice new biotech company building etc, can't see the RR tracks and older stuff along the road.

The view was obtained by walking north along the stone wall away from the park. I did want to have the street lamp in the image as well.

View across Andrews Bay ~ Lake Washington at Seward Park towards Lake Washington Blvd. S in the Seward Park Neighborhood, Seattle, WA

..... a wonderful walk after work down at Seward Park, the air was thick, cool and moist with a soft rain along with the sweet scent of cedar.
