Some recent
#Defaidodon encounters. I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to be in that field of crops.
Here's some in colour from the same day. I was a bit happier with how these came out.
I spent a day walking around Holyhead a month or so ago. Took these pics on
#KodakPortra160 but I really didn't like the way the colours came out on most of them, so I've edited them a little and converted to B&W.
There's some interesting stuff online about the Apapa. Turns out many of its crew were from Nigeria and other parts of the British Empire.

I live just over the road from Glanadda cemetery in Bangor. I read yesterday that there's a grave there belonging to John Thomas, a Nigerian sailor who died on the SS Apapa when it was torpedoed by a U-boat in 1917. The ship sank off Anglesey. It took me a couple of hours to find the grave. Here it is, next to Isaac Peppel's, a sailor from Sierra Leone who also died when the Apapa sunk. Thomas is a very Welsh name, of course, so there are several war graves marked Thomas in the cemetery.
I got a new camera a couple of weeks ago, after selling all my film gear. It's a compact but it has IBIS, and I've really enjoyed messing about with slower shutter speeds. I took these today at Swallow Falls and Pont-y-pair in Betws-y-coed, all taken at 1 second.
#photography #SnowdoniaHaving been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.
@russell I can almost see it from my window.
