Greetings Barry,
It may come as a suprise to some to learn that around 2.4 billion people have no access to such a simple, pleasant and "relatively" risk-free :ROTFL: experience. About 70% of households in India are without. In clear terms that means, around 1.2 billion people defecate in the open.
Around 800 million people have no access to clear water at all.
21st century folks, 21st century.
....Hmmm then again, the USS Gerald R. Ford CVN78, a steal for the taxpayer at about 13 billion dollar. The first -Not the last folks, not the last, it's gonna be great! - of a new class after Nimitz, the Ford class super carrier. Able to launch air strikes every six minutes.
Guess who has an itchy trigger finger....
21st century? :wtf: :banghead:

A few more test shots with the A7RII rental. Today I spent some time trying out a few of my Leica R lenses on it.
First image with the Sony 55/1.8 lens, next with the Leica 60mm Macro-Elmarit-R. The last image was shot with the 250mm Telyt-R. That one was hand held at 1/125th second with IBIS/Steady Shot enabled. I'm not a very good judge of distance, but these containers were quite far away.
I printed all of these tonight on 13x19 inch paper. I am very happy with the quality of these images and prints and the performance of the Leica R glass on this camera. One more day of testing the camera, but I think it is very likely I will be buying a new A7RII on Monday.

Georg, sadly no surprise at all but thank you for the reminder that not everybody is as fortunate as some of us
:-(Perhaps the embroided towel should have read...
"The flush toilet...has 'civilised' some of us in a way that religion and law could never accomplish!"
A couple of well known George Orwell quotes from Animal Farm also spring to mind as a response to your comments...
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
“There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word-- Man”
Gary, glad you are enjoying the A7RII with your Leica R lenses...Always a good idea to rent and try before spending a lot of money on a camera that might not suit you or your existing lenses...Cheers BarryA few more test shots with the A7RII rental.

Very close to the Amstelstation.
This building next to it is probably more recognisable

This largish rock I photographed the other evening (North shady side) is better known as Tintagel (King Arthur's) Castle.
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/tintagel-castle/history-and-legend/history/
At the base of the rock just where the tide line meets you will see a dark cave that's locally known as Merlin's Cave.
As the tide rises the sea quickly rushes in from both ends at the same time, often catching out unsuspecting dawdling tourists.

Hi Karl, you have a very nice watertight and functional roof.Many thanks Barry. Marvelous! We should start a series on roof/roofing pictures!

I think your roof is somewhat newer than the 14th century Tintagel Post Office
The wavy slate roof was added in the 1500s and restored in 1992

Many thanks Barry for that marvelous picture of a roof that aged indeed very well.
It certainly got my imagination going. :watch: Thanks for that.
Here an image of our roof during replacement.

You set me thinking...We really don't have many modern structures worth speaking of here in Cornwall, not that I can recollect that is and certainly not with any interesting rooflines.
I can only think of the Eden Project (2001 - Not that modern really) with it's famous domes (Biomes)...Here are a few shots with the Voigtlander 12mm E mount taken from within looking outwardly or vice versa.
It's late here so I'm off to get some sleep...chat later... Cheers Barry
