Well.... my absolute distrust of airlines was confirmed... again...! Margarit and the girls were supposed to arrive home last night. Their flight was on schedule, and they were more than half way back... somewhere over Manitoba, when there was a problem. One runway at Edmonton International is under construction, and there was a damaged plane stuck on the second runway. So their flight got diverted back to its starting point in Montreal. Now they are stuck there for a couple of extra days before they can finally return home. This is why I don't fly...!
This car is probably the most photographed car in Saskatchewan. It sits at the edge of a small ghost town in southwestern Saskatchewan. It is a British import.. an Austin. I believe the model is an Astro, but I'm not certain of that. There were a large number of these brought into Canada back in the 1950's and 1960's but they proved unreliable in our harsh climate and on our rough roads. They more or less disappeared shortly afterwards, except for a few abandoned ones left lying around.
This is a scan of one of the sheets of Fuji Neopan Acros 100 that I recently processed in Rodinal Developer, 1:100, for 11:00 minutes at 24C. The film was rated at 80 iso. I shot this with my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a Nikkor 210mm lens. A #11 Yellow Green filter lightened the value of the grasses. I took this shot on September 19th of 2024, at about 4:30 in the afternoon. The exposure was for 1/15 second at F20.0. This town is in the Rural Municipality of Coulee No. 136.
