In my opinion this is a hard subject to make interesting. Flat ocean, absolutely no clouds. Yet you’ve made it an interesting story. Well done!
Thanks so much! It was a classic process of picking a spot, sitting and down and wait for the story to unfold in front of me.
My daughter had surgery today and handled it like a champ. She's back home and doing great. I don't shoot much B&W, but have been liking it a lot more lately. I even bought a M10 Monochrom here on the boards to try out for a while.

As many of you know, SoCal suffered from some of the most disastrous fires in their history. My brother lives in Malibu and by his equipping his house with a sprinkler system, owning a military surplus fire truck (I am not joking) and dumb luck his house survived but many many others in his neighbourhood are gone.
A couple of days ago was the first time I was able to get over there and visit with him, while surveying what was left. A drive that normally takes an hour tops from my home took three hours as I had to go the back way through the San Fernando valley and through numerous canyon roads to get across to his home. All of which had work crews with one lane only flow in many places.
These pics were taken with a Leica MD-a, Wtulens 17mm f16 (but I think it is more like f22) and Kentmere 400.
The Wtulens is made from recycled Fuji Quicksnap disposable camera lenses - two are used. I like it for specific purposes as it is sharp in the middle, then smears out and vignettes. This trip IMO fit its purpose.
I also took a couple of other cameras with normal 'perfect' lenses, those pics are in the process of getting developed.
FYI this is a pic of his military surplus fire truck that he used to save his house.
(shot with a Pentax Auto 110 but I think is ok to post here as completes the story)
