My M42 to Nex adaptor arrived today, allowing me to use the Rikenon 50 1.7 lens from the Ricoh Singlex TLS on digital. Unfortunately with winter closing in, and work being busy, I had lost the light for the day. Opening the fridge, a bottle of water had frozen and shattered, so became todays subject.

Today has brought the rain and wind, so one more from last nights walk. Calm before the storm evidently!

Sony Nex and Jupiter 8 lens in hand, we headed out for a walk after a long day at work, to catch the last of the days light. In stark contrast to the heavy rain and wind yesterday, today was clear blue and still. I was amazed how still it was on the water, mirror clear and still. Looking down the cliff from where we walked, I captured the fallen tree, sitting so softly in the water, it almost looked like the sky.
Under The Bridge
Sometimes I feel like I don’t have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets cause she’s my companion
I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses the windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day
But take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day
But take me to the place I love, take me all the way
It’s hard to believe that there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to believe that I’m all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
Where I stay
Anthony Kiedis
Another busy day cleaning up the garden of our new place, so another from the archives. Like yesterday, todays shot is from a gorge – Karangahake Gorge to be precise. I passed through it a few years ago heading to Gisborne. A beautiful stop, it also has a number of walks one can go on to explore. Once a large mining area with a number of signs left behind, it still has a limited amount of prospecting occurring in the area.
