It started to snow in Tokyo.

Nice!

I have never found cats very easy to photograph.

Have got to love this one - I have had 5 ginger cats over the years. 

Thanks Hugh! Yeah you're right and this is one of those rare moments  And wow 5 ginger cats!

Spring is approaching  For the winter bike it means a new set of chain and chain-ring as well as new set of brake pads - Feels like a brand new bike

Nice horse 

Thank you Chris, the young lady was walking the horse as part of training.
I think she says the 6 year old mare was excited she understood they were returning
for the stables.

The 17th century gate next to the old church is dedicated to Saint Denis, the Saint of Tilburg.  It is one of the gates of the Abbey of Tongerlo in Belgium.

Nice steel frame with lugs. Always nice a new and noiseless chain. Fixed gear I notice. Enjoy the ride(s) Erik!

At last my focusing adapter for the "X-ray" lenses reached a prototype stage. The first version allows infinity focus for the Rodenstock TV-Heligon 50mm f/0.75 and the Kowa 55mm f/0.8, but not for the Oude Delft 50mm f/0.75 Rayxar (yet). The next version should solve that small remaining issue.

The adapter works on all Z/FX models apparently.

In case anyone wonders, here is the working prototype "X-Ray" to Z adapter which allows focusing to infinity. Not anything  like Erik would have achieved, but the contraption works
