We did this camping trip with another couple who were graduate residents in the same dorm as we were, Josep and Montse Valor, from Barcelona. We still see them every so often when they are back in the States.

Here are a few pics from Puygiron, in Drôme Provençale, right next to my new house.

Indeed! A very large body of water . At the right season, we've been able to spot whales while I'm at work. I can still recall the Estate Agent(a realtor) telling us in 2008 when we were looking for a house how we can see all the way to the Indian Ocean from here. Over the years, the trees have been not-so-stealthily eating away at the view. Oh well.
Siphiwe, thanks for the glimpse of the Indian Ocean. I like that scene you captured.

Jim, which slide film are these on? Making me think of Fuji Provia, but in those days it would have been some other stock.
Most of my slides back then were Ektachrome (ASA 400? that's what the Nikkormat was set to when I happened to look yesterday). But for some reason I've long forgotten some were Kodachrome, at least according to the cardboard slide frames. Of course the Z could have tweaked the colors a bit when I scanned them so don't take the color balance too seriously.
The star flower shot has that purple cast because it was underexposed. I tweaked it a little to bring out the flowers and de-emphasize the purple. Otherwise the rest are White Balance Auto 0. for them all.

A couple from the trail this morning. As I write this 3 gentlemen are still going more than 12 hours after we started. Series E 50mm.
Shorts weather. Looks like you may have been part of the event as well?

I'd love to own a 5.8/1.4 but it would make that ~50mm MF focal length decision even more difficult than it is at the moment.
So, I often look at auction sites but just can't pull the trigger on a 5.8. Maybe oneday I will find an absolute bargain.
In the meantime I am going to trade your Schmucker's EST date with something a little earlier....

Awesome. Places with long histories like that fascinate me. One December back in the late 1980's I had the pleasure of a week-long business trip to Camberley and my sweetie (wife of 10+ years) came along as "interpreter". (She's Canadian, you see.) Every day we'd make plans, walk to the train station which was on the way to the office, my sweetie would take the train to London and I'd walk on to work. In the evening I'd take the train to London and meet her at our planned rendezvous. Then we'd have dinner and walk around or see a play or concert. One evening one of our hosts took us to dinner at The Crown in Pishill, originally a 12th century watering hole. Certainly the oldest building I've ever been in. We had pheasant that had been properly hung out to cure, a memorable meal by a huge fireplace. One evening our host took us to a Christmas concert by the church choir in Maidenhead. One day a work colleague who had earned her PhD at Oxford (as had her husband) took us for a day's tour of Oxford U. It was a wonderful trip. But I have no pictures, alas, only great memories and a fondness for Oxford, reinforced by Morse of course.
Appreciate it and definitely got warm. I got 12 miles in but didn’t have free time for more. The winner for 54 miles in 16 hours, no hope for me of making it that far.

Was that a competition? After walking for 16 (or any number of) hours and deciding you can't go any further, how do you get home?
It reminds me of the joke about the guy whose doctor told him to jog 10 miles very day and after a week call him. So a week later when he called, his doctor asked how he doing. He said I don't know, I'm 70 miles out of town.
