A few shots from this morning after the small snow storm.
Great shots, Douglas!

I wanted to thank Douglas for selling me a nice Metabones manual adapter, Canon FD mount to Sony E mount. It is a really well made adapter -- I'd say about the best of my MF adapters for Alt lenses. And the price and shipping were great!
I just thought it was funny -- I went out today for a maiden voyage, to take a few "snow" shots, ironically, posting here in the slot immediately after Douglas' shots of much thicker snow cover! Small world, right?

#5, 6 and 8 are taken with CV 35mm/1.7 and the rest with CV 75mm f/1.5.
(Posted a few of them in color before.)
Glad to still have my old CV 35 now when I'm in this 75mm phase. CV 40/1.2 is a better lens overall, but the 35mm is surprisingly good and clearly smaller and lighter. Also noticeably wider so it's a better match to the 75mm.
Looking at what I believe are Longleaf Pine needles and trees.
Tripod mounted A7r Kolari Vision Thin sensor V3 camera and Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens.
ISO 100, f8, 1/30 second.
Exposure Corrected +0.20 Stops.

The Sil Canyon is a gorge in Galicia, Spain along the Sil. It covers the last 50 km before the Sil enters the Minho. The scenery is considered to be the most spectacular in Galicia.
The walls rise almost vertically up to 500 m from water level. Due to the extraordinary terrain, the local climate differs from surrounding areas and allows the growth of Mediterranean vegetation, such as olive trees. The river cliffs have been terraced to allow production of grape vines. Wine production started in this area already in Roman times. The area is called the Ribeira Sacra wine region, and it is the only place in Galicia that produces more red than white wine.
The gorge is classified in Natura 2000 as a site of community importance. It is a home to several rare bird species, and some mammals such as otters and bats
Mutabal (middle eastern dip made with grilled eggplant, tahini paste, yogurt, garlic and lemon and drizzled with olive oil). Cooked, styled, photographed and edited by me.
