Bronica S2, Fuji Acros film
I've always liked the tonality of the rocks in this image. Acros does such a wonderful job in that regard. You can also clearly see each row of waves as they approach the shore in all of their frothy inevitability. I can almost hear them.

Winter #Solstice today for those of us on the north end. I don’t have any “solsticey” photos but thinking celestial I have this one of the #MilkyWay that I took while in N. #California last August. Our solar system orbits around the galactic center once every ~225 million years so if there was an equivalent galactic “winter solstice” point there have only been about 20 of them since our sun was but a wee protostar and all of us were just a glint in its eye.
In the redwoods.

Another scan from the film I just developed in my bathroom: the view from Tunnel View in Yosemite Valley

"Gone for good? California's beetle-killed, carbon-storing pine forests may not come back
Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won't recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon."
