Pontiac

Christmas 2016 has come and gone... so I return to the routine.  Old guys like me really don't get all that excited about the holiday.  It is always great to get together with family for that big dinner.  This year, like most, we had two of them...  Christmas Eve at my Mom's place with my brothers and their families, and then again on Christmas Day, at our place with Margarit's family.  It is always fun to watch the girls dive into all their presents and be witness to all the excitement.  I didn't get too caught up in all the commercialism this year and the gift giving was fairly modest.  I hoped for no gifts but the girls got me a few small things.  Margarit and I no longer buy for each other as we don't need anything that we don't already have.

I've signed up my hockey team to play in a holiday tournament which gets underway tomorrow.  It will be an opportunity to get out for a skate at least four times and work off some of the pounds that have accumulated in recent weeks.
Today it is Boxing Day, and the cleanup is underway, and some chores are being dealt with.  I've taken a short break to post something new to my blog...

This old Pontiac was found in a junk yard down in central Alberta.  This was back in October, when I was out on a day trip with Chris and Connie.  I shot this one with my new, used Ebony SV45TU and a Funinon 180mm lens.  This was Kodak T-Max 400, exposed at 640 iso and processed in X-Tol 1:1, for 9:30 minutes at 24C.
