A Visit to Rouen

Image
  Rouen Cathedral, built in 1318 In July we were fortunate enough to spend a little time in Normandy with our nephew and his wife Jenny and baby daughter Rayelle. We had a very pleasant day wandering around Rouen the 'capital' of Normandy. a very historic place with a number of churches and a lot of medieval buildings. All of the pictures were taken using my Zenit film camera and Kodak Gold. Church of St Ouen We spent some time walking the streets, even venturing into back alleys, and had a superb lunch.  The 14th century astronomic clock in Rouen Here are the intrepid travellers with their friend Jenny Lebrun

St Kilda with the small Diana

Image
  While we were on St Kilda I took a number of pictures using a Diana 35mm camera. This is a very basic instrument with a plastic lens, but I thought it would work well with the subject matter. Unfortunately due to some problems with development most of the films I took were unusable, except for one, a few images from which I am showing here. The day was foggy which added to the atmosphere of the place.
