Bryan Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) One positive relating to my recent computer crash, I found myself looking through some old images that I hadn't processed, and this one I quite like. Had to clone out a power cable, but, during lockdown, time on my hands! The The Grey Horse Pub in spring.

Tony ALS Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The calm after the storm! Early morning Santander Bay Spain. It would have been impossible to hold the camera still from this spot with a howling wind the day before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with vaccinations under way, the end of restrictions is in sight? Or most of them at least. It will be a while for international travel to resume in Oz. The ban had interesting consequences: as Australians can't holiday abroad (Bali, etc), there has been huge demand for motorhomes and caravans. There isn't enough RVs available.

You reminded me of a consequence of Covid. Right before it became a big deal, I had an older upright freezer in my garage. I decided to get a new one, and did. I sold my old one. Within a couple of weeks, the virus exploded and all of a sudden people bought all available freezer stock, and others wanting one were told they would be months on back order, especially when the workers were getting sick at the manufacturing level. Of course, people wanted to be able to stock up and freeze food, even hoard, so they didn’t need to go shopping as often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizBrown Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Went back through my "Made in Jinotega" photos and found more for the coffee and cacao growers coop. I'll be going back there sometime next week for the exterior shots (also of my neighbor's workshops). This was the roaster for the in-house coffee shop and for local retail sales. They either ship green beans or beans roasted in larger roasters off site. The Probat is gas-fired and generally used for things like coffee shops and retail stores that sell freshly roasted beans or for sampling at wholesale roasters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun reflecting off the shallower bottom creates the hues. As the sun gets low in the sky, you don’t see the hues so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A classic drone beginner's mistake from a boat is to use the RTH (Return To Home) function. The boat has drifted since its original GPS position and many a drone have been seen plunging into the water...
