Sometimes one just feels so lazy that ends grabbing the Powershot from the table, the 8x neg. checking loupe, stacks them together and decides that the lava lamp on the table looks indeed cool enough...
But not a single vehicle anymore.

It's not indeed a fortress, but that's the impression I always get when I look back at this picture, a fortress out from a dream (or nightmare!) keeping inside all that stuff you can't even think about without a shivering going down your spine, and that in some way it's telling you that it's true, that your worst nightmares are there inside, and that no matter how much you run, because you'll end facing them sooner or later.
This is so far my first (and only!) use of Agfa Scala, and I must say that I don't know why I haven't used that film anymore. Probably the propietary developing process has something to do with that, together with the fact that it's quite expensive. That said, I also think much of the effect here comes from the massive use of filters, in this case, I stacked up together a deep red one and a circular polarizer in front of my (ex) Minolta mount Sigma 24/2.8.
Btw the place is in fact a monastery placed near the village of Sant Pere de Rodes, in Girona, quite close to the French border.

And after quite a long unactivity period, the mighty Powershot A20 walks again on my daily commuting time to work.
It will probably become again unactive in a while, but I thought that for a machine which is condemned to spend almost all its life just taking pictures of other cameras for website or selling purposes, it could make it happy to go out there and feel as one of the main characters of the movie for one day :)
And as I already knew, the little creature doesn't do bad !
Who said Ricoh GR-D !?
Hmm... ;)

For some reason, these kind of scenes always make me feel good. Even though this time grandpa had a bit of a bad time running after his grandson's dreams of lonely adventures :)
