A while back I discovered this series of small ponds right along side some of the busiest streets in Houston, and finally paid the place a visit a couple days ago. It was late in the afternoon so light was a challenge. I brought my Yashica Mat 124 loaded with Tri-X Professional (400TX), and my Bronica ETRSi loaded with Ektar 100. I'll post pics in a separate thread for the Bronica.

The film was developed in Kodak D-76 @ 68F (20C) for 6-3/4 minutes. Scanned on an Epson 4990 @ 2400 ppi, some contrast adjustment made, no sharpness adjustments. I cropped a couple of the images just for composition reasons. I've really become a big fan of 400TX.

Yes, these are cypress trees. They're called 'Buddhist Trees' in some parts of Southeast Asia.

Yeah, like little gnomes or something. Very interesting structures.
