Gelatin-silver photograph on Agfa Classic MCC 111 VC FB photographic paper, image area 21.5cm X 16.2cm, from a Tmax 100 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF 4x5 field view camera fitted with a 210mm f4.5 Voigtlander Heliar lens.

Interesting image, Maris. I'm puzzled by the plant matter; aquatic grass or needle leaves blown onto the water surface?

Thanks Barry. It's a still water pond in the Gara River near Armidale with a few dots of Duckweed and some wind-blown Casuarina needles; a sort of natural calligraphy that I tend to gawk at.

I am concerned that if I contemplate this charming salute to tranquility for too long there is every chance that the wicked fertility of my imagination might find expressions in the calligraphy that would make a maiden blush.

Very lovely sense of still.
