What a contrast to last year with the weather. Clear skies and moderate temperatures made it a very enjoyable day. Very busy with lots of people. Went on the train so could also partake of a few liquid conversation starters. Probably one of my better ends to a year.

They may be Bananarama fans?

It's well documented on Pentax rumours. It does look as if it may be delayed till summer this year though.

Every time I land with KLM, they play a soothing song as passengers disembark the aircraft.

Never took the time to ask the cabin crew what it was. After a little digging, I found that it's Alina Baraz & Galimatias - Fantasy.

My favourite teacher at junior school: Miss Hepsibah Esmarelda Hutchinson. She was quite old way back then and I've no idea when she passed.

Watched the DVD yesterday. Read the book today.

Raymond Briggs. When the wind blows.

Massive impact and clarification of pointless......

The weather looks more than acceptable for Tuesday. I'm considering using a K-1 with a 43mm Ltd and CF tripod.

It's been an odd old year. Lost quite a number of friends and acquaintances and have spent some time putting fallible reasoning in place to what is a pointless attempt to make a logical conclusion of it all.

I will watch the last sunset of this year from a coastline. I'll even take a few shots of the submersion while remembering the people already gone.

It's only my point of view and no amount of reasoning will change anything already passed. So I'm preparing for 2020. My heads in a very different place and I'm looking to make my photography very different in the way I approach what I shoot and how I shoot.

Pointless is an opinion, a very valid opinion, as it will always make sense to some one.

A wonderful set, can't be much else really with such a star subject.

Why is it that a roll or two of fresh films brings on a such emotion? I can vouch that it really does as Peter clearly shows in his post. Every time I've bough new memory cards, I've never had such feelings.

There's something about loading and shooting a roll of film. It evokes feelings of care, caution and expectation.

Looking forward to seeing the results Peter.

Already? Yes Gary, it's that time of year again.

Wishing all who frequent this site a very Merry Christmas.

Be healthy, be happy.

Just back from Whitby with two large sides of smoked salmon. What else to do on a Saturday morning but head into the fog across the North York's Moors.

Just waiting to see if the grandson in Germany is clear of pneumonia before he travels here on Xmas Eve. It's hit him hard and only four years old. His mum & dad are also suffering with chest issues. Moral: stay clear of Berlin at the moment as a lot of people are ill.
