PESO Not bad for just after a hit and run

A little after 8 I heard a wreck in front of my house, went out front, saw a woman driving past in a totally beat up small SUV, by the sound it was dragging the right front wheel. It turns out she had hit another car on the bridge 100 yards up the road from my house. Nobody was hurt, she did

Re: PESO: 10 Years Ago

Just to clear up any confusion, they're actually both "after" shots, taken a few minutes apart. If you look closely at the background building in the first photo you can see cracks in the parapet; that's where the bricks on the ground had come from. The photos were taken at the western end of

Looks like it belongs to the genus of Stereum, which has plenty of species. From my book (which however covers only mid-Europe)  it looks closest to stereum subtomentosum which grows on dead dedicious trees. Henk Op 2020-09-05 om 15:44 schreef Daniel J. Matyola: As Ann so kindly pointed out

Re: OT: Seducing Ingrid Bergman

Opinions differ: Robert Capa's photographs inspired the opening sequence of Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" and his love affair with Ingrid Bergman was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window."

Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship (PESO)

That's very impressive, and I understand your point. I also see their point, and having gone partway down the path to trying to get a Pentax DSLR repaired out of warranty recently I can see the need to minimize points of failure.  I simply replaced my K-5II rather than getting it repaired.

Re: story 3 of the new APS-C flagship

I've ranted about Pentax and now Ricoh marketing and their naming conventions or lack thereof a while ago. I must admit I haven't handled either a K-70 or a KP and have no particular interest in either.  The big selling point of the KP was it's small size, but really it's not a hell of a lot

Thanks, Christine and David!. It is larger than a golf ball, but not as large as a baseball. The shape grabbed my eye first, but upon closer inspection, the subtle details are what make it interesting and attractive to my eye. I found this specimen, with two others, on my morning dog walk. When
