Well it's the weekend before the xmas (for those who celebrate it) and I dug up some colour to start off the thread and brighten this dreary weather.

I say, you're still doing the Lindy Hop in the UK? 
I have to agree about the weather, the last couple of days we've had strong winds and rain. But a few weeks ago, at the end of November I shot these along the coast here. So I won't complain too much, November was a very good time for shooting colour.

I sent a roll of color film to the lab two weeks ago and haven’t even received confirmation that they got it.  Usually I have scan back the same week.  Must be holiday mail being slow.  Here’s some more black and white from Maui.  Leica IIIc with a Leitz Summaron 3.5cm f/3.5 lens using Ilford FP4+ developed in Beer.

There’s some great work this week. Kai, I particularly like your first shot, lovely colours. It looks like an amazing place to live, although I bet it’s on the windy side at this time of year!

Oh yes, that's the North Sea in the background, next stop is Britain. The day before yesterday we had a strong wind with gusts up to 36 m/s which is hurricane force. But luckily we don't have many days like that during a year.
