It took me a while to get through this roll between work, weather and other stuff.  Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 530 with Kodak T-Max 100 developed in HC-110 dilution b. 

This first one reminds me of a time my brother and I went on a hike years ago.  We bushwhacked our way up a steep hill with cliffs and dense forest only to find a parking lot on top.  Talk about disappointment.  This time it was just Quincy and me in the Columbia River Gorge in Washington state.  My wife and I spent a weekend at the gorge.  Quincy and I decided to hike down to the river, a steep climb down a series of cliffs.  When we were coming down the last cliff I could see a bright pink car down by the river.  I started having flashbacks to that hike I did with my brother.  When I got to the car I saw that it was quite old, shot full of holes and spray painted pink.  There's no way that car drove down there from above, it would look a lot worse than it does.  Then I remembered that the Columbia river at this point is actually a reservoir lake behind Wanapum dam.  The dam was completed in 1959 and started producing power in 1963.  There must have been a road from below to this location prior the the reservoir being filled.  I also found some other stuff in the same area the indicated there must have been a home there.  There was some wood and appliances from the same era.  Getting down there was the easy part, Quincy and I took a long nap after we got back from hiking up those cliffs.

Horse barn a few blocks from my house.  I've shared pictures of this before but I liked how the light was hitting it.

My wife at Bexhill-on-Sea.
I always find it rather funny when I see Neo-classical structures like the Colonnade in Britain.
For my Canadian mind, it is a bit surreal to see Roman/Greek architecture in the UK. That's probably why I have a bit of a fascination with Portmeirion.
