Good morning, #Asheville

Tuesday here starts at 35F which is almost unbelievable after all the early heat the region has had. No frost, probably because it's so incredibly dry.

Warmer soon, but with luck not to the 90's again for a bit. Please send rain...

Closing out my #FP4Party posts with a few more shots from the Graflex up in/near #Asheville. These are from Craggy Pinnacle. They're not perfect but well worth carrying my camera up that trail.

I shot a few rolls and sheets of #IlfordFP4 over the last few weeks, so I'm finally ready for a few entries for #FP4Party.

I'll start with a shot from my #Graflex in/near #Asheville. This particular shot was from an overlook on the #BlueRidgeParkway heading toward Craggy Gardens. Shot with a red filter. The 3000 px resolution doesn't do it justice…zooming in on the treeline on the full 4x5 scan is awesome. I've included a snippet of a screenshot as an example.

A great video from the #AVLWatchdog on one of the deaths at Mission Hospital since HCA purchased the system in 2019.

No one is blaming the nurses. This is all down to HCA and their abysmal cost-cutting, leaving untrained, and badly over-loaded staff caring for very sick patients.
