Abbey Lake 2. A bit of the keep of Kenilworth Castle can be seen mid right; nothing much but might give an idea of proximity.

Pollarded oak, last autumn. Not easy to see, but there is a crack in the main trunk, 2" wide at the top. I think that's why they pollarded it. Regrowth has been very poor.

Hidden house. I often drive past this house, hidden behind its white wall, and it's always seemed fascinating and mysterious. It's very tricky to get a satisfying photo though. This seems about the closest so far.

For #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday a photo from the dim, distant past: the dome of the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria, taken in March 1970 using my #Werra 1 camera and #ORWO NP20 film.[EDIT: I'd forgotten how starkly black and white this place was!] I was working in Sofia and we were on our way to Thessaloniki for an Easter break. This and many other early negatives were severely neglected for the ensuing 30 years or so!

This is part of the first of two rolls of #StreetCandyATM400 I ended up with as part of a large film purchase. No idea what to expect, except not much! Think I got a bit more than that. Generally lots of grain, poor definition. I used EI 250, and just for weirds added a red filter.

@ruben You are absolutely right on 2nd count! I have regretted almost every camera I've sold. (This is probably not true if I sat down and worked it out, but the only cameras that I can remember selling straight up, are cameras I regret selling!)
I think the environmental damage from film photography is probably pretty small. My 1 litre bottle of HC-110 lasted 6 years. In 10 years I've maybe bought 2 litres of Rapid Fixer. In those 10 years I've driven around 100,000 miles...
