Few from today with the 90mm f2 Summicron R. All were taken around the Seton Hill area, around the St. Mary's Spiritual Center and St. Mary's park in Baltimore.
Leaves sprouting out everywhere with the winter finally gone.
Enjoyable trip to a quieter area of the Fforest Fawr Geopark in T shirt weather, as the sun shone, wind was negligible and visibility OK, I wouldn't have minded some cloud though, but hey. This area of the geopark, has cuestas of Lower Carboniferous limestones and overlying gritstone, which also record the successive erosional landforms of glaciation, periglacial weathering and chemical weathering.
35-70/4 for the detail of the glaciated quartz conglomerate pavement and 21-35 for the two perspectives of limestone pavement karst, with a Millstone grit cuesta as a backdrop and periglacial block fields. The 1st image has the better karst landform, the 2nd I think has better lighting and sheep action The last two images also show the stark demarcation between calcifuge and calciphile flora, denoting the underlying geology.

It looks nice. It's just that Star Wars has been on my mind since someone asked me whether a light saber would be an effective tool for light painting.
