ice crystals on a window at -10F (-23C)

I'm on a visit to my folks in Ohio, and while digging through my photo archives for some pictures for them, I came across a bunch of “abstract art” photos I took on a different trip here five years ago, so this post is a sampling of those.

The somewhat fuzzy ice crystals above were from the same frigid day that produced “Pretty Frost Pattern on a Window” and its followup.

Drill

This drill was fruitful fodder for my favorite macro lens, the Voigtländer 125mm/f2.5.

The end of the drill bit appeared here, but the chuck is my favorite, visually.

ピントがあって、解像度が高い写真は　絵になりますね。明るいレンズ、オートフォーカス、マニュアルフォーカスでの操作のしやすさなど　デジカメの進歩は　望む画像を手軽に撮れるようにしてくれました。撮りたいものが　増えて良いですね。遊べます。

Great to see some classic Friedl photographs, these are wonderful!

Greetings to your folks, too, from Peter in wet Wales.
