A unique weather day at the marsh yesterday with afternoon fog and a light drizzle every now and then.
Hope everyone is doing well wherever you are. :)

Kind regards,

28th January Santa Monica, California
Mamiya RZ67/Phase One P65+ APO Sekor Z 500mm + 1.4 Teleconverter.


When I was a teenager I worked in the restaurant at the end of the pier.
They only served breakfast and lunch back then, and now everything is different.

Thanks for a great memory and picture!

Oh yes! I went cello shopping once. It seems that each new thing that an instrument can do well doubles its price. $5,000, it sounds nice. $10,000, it can sound nice in different ways. I played one note on an $80,000 cello and I felt like I had awakened Smaug. But these things get up into the price range of old Bugatti's. When a great instrument becomes available, almost no performer can afford it. So a bunch of the old farts decide which up-and-coming young virtuoso deserves a surprise Stradivarius. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that happens. :clap:
Matt, this was an unusual place to find so many violins, Not a commercial building, but rather a typical house in the suburbs with no signs until you had already entered the premises, i.e., you needed to be aware of its existence. A long and interesting history of the family operating the shop. Not sure if they had a Stradivarius, but there were some violins in a vault. They did have Jack Benny's violin in a glass case. Jack Benny had purchased his instrument from them and upon his death, the violin was reacquired by this family. My wife was there for a simple repair, but it was fascinating to deal with such knowledgeable people.

Wow. Sounds like a really interesting place!

Mark C's photo above reminds me of one I took nearly 60 years ago from inside a railway tunnel in South Devon. Shot with a Rollei TLR, copied with Phase 120 macro.


That's a 'Warship' running on the Western Region... Could that be Dainton Tunnel?

Not a shot anyone would dare attempt these days!

Been home sick with the flu today, so I went thru images to take my mind off of how I felt. I love going back thru images from past trips, it sort of takes me back there. This is definitely some place I want to go back to this fall.

Really nice Greg. Where is this? There is a tree in the publication linked below that looks very similar to yours, but without the egret. (third row down on my screen). Tom

Since I do not have a cat, I photographed a sunrise
I once read a comment by a photographer, who was preparing a series, that sunrise photos are the cat pictures of landscape photography. He was almost apologizing for including sunrise photos in his series. If anyone is a sunrise specialist, please do not be offended.

Since I do not have a cat, I photographed a sunrise. The story is in the link.

This thread seems to get better and better. It is certainly inspiring and motivating and I thank you all for contributing. I am in awe of a lot of your work. I'm soon off for a six week trip to Southern Africa where I'll be out of wifi range and I'm not taking a laptop, so I'll be awol from the site until April.

But I'll be back for a further dose of inspiration!

Warmest regards to all,
Bill
