Taken a couple days ago but developed today.
  Yet another rehearsal. BW version, the light coming through the windows is green

You captured a very tense moment, Paco!

John, wow , looks a nice space for first apartment and lots of room to make it her own ( once she unpacks  ) .
All the best to her and to you.

Love the passionate red color.  Crape myrtle?

Yes. The top floors of an old Villa in the center of the City.

Yes, lovely lens. No distortion, very sharp, flare resistant, better colours than the Sigma lenses.  And a pretty large upgrade over the older Nikkor 15/3.5

Thank you for your impression with the lens.  Unfortunately, Tristin seemed to get a bad sample...  Best wishes to your daughter!

Akira, Red buganvilia.  During the monsoon they totally disappear.   With so many around , later, they will take on variegated  colours so no deep reds.

Your garden seems to be rich in variation even in the winter.

The local old narrow-gauge train is still chuffing away, happily after > 100 years of operation. Taken just in advance of the current heavy snowfall. Leaden-grey skies ('livid' , Merriam-Webster def.2) makes the snow almost invisible.

NEX-5N monochrome (thanks, Vivek) with 3.5 cm f/1.8 W-Nikkor (thanks, Nikon).

Thanks Akira, much appreciated.

I read there is some large sample deviation with the Irix, so I guess Tristin was unlucky with his sample.

Also a great atmosphere, Birna !   Very nice.

How very beautiful also the river banks (riparian zones) are fully grown which hints to an intact ecosystem ...
