There is an amusing story behind this photograph, which I took the same time as the previous one. We were staying at a campground on the outskirts of Seville and I was wandering around, as usual, with my camera. I'd taken the previous photo and when I returned to our campsite (we had a VW Kombi van converted into a pop-up camper) there was some lovely guitar music drifting over from where we were parked. It was our next-door neighbour who was playing guitar - and the guitar was all she was wearing! She, her husband and two children had left their home in West Germany hurriedly to escape the westward-drift of the fallout from Chernobyl, which had just happened, and Seville was pretty much as far south as you could go to get away from it. Anyway we became great friends and kept in contact for many years, and I photographed the children, Hannah and Peter, and later sent them a print. Unfortunately I did not photograph the guitarist 😖.

Phil, I have no idea how good your photo would have been. But I surely know the feeling of not having taken a picture and wondering forever afterwards why, and how it would have looked like. The picture of the kids is lovely in any case.

Last swim of the season, Oct 23rd. Chilly water, but crystal clear. Probably the clearest water I've seen in a long time. I'm not the photographer here. I set up the M3 and asked my wife to focus on the lines of goggles. I believe this is 1/100 F2 or F2.8. 

The new lockdown does not allow us to pass the town's limits, so no driving around and no walks at the beach for now. I'm pretty sure the Gov will lock us inside again. Our regional governor dedicated the whole summer to his campaign and did not care about improving covid hospitals. Only words. It's a shitty situation everywhere in the world, but so for what I've got is this: if the situation improves, the Gov is to thank because they took the right decisions; if the situation gets worse, the people are to blame because they did not behave correctly. And that's regardless the political colors, left, center, right.

Antonio, I like the picture, an interesting film indeed. What was the temperature of the water? I fully understand your frustration wrt lockdown. Some thoughts: 

Some governments are better than others.

Some people are truly to blame, for their blatant disregard of the safety of others (independent of government rules)

I believe that many governors and even more people value their freedom (noisily so) but have no notion that freedom cannot exist without responsibility.

Antonio, no kidding, this such a great photo. Buy a M3 for your wife too! This photo reminds me of the movie "le grand bleu" from 1988. You look like Enzo (Jean Reno). Really a wonderful portrait!! And I have never heard about this film, looks very contrasty!

Pretty much the same everywhere, Antonio.

Mrs F did a great job!

I think the temp was around 20 C. I don't think it changes a lot.

Ah Ah Ah! Maybe a chubbier version of Enzo! Fuji 4791 is pretty cool to play with. I get it hand rolled from California through my in-laws in Seattle! It sounds complicated ... Very contrasty and basically grainless.
