Azalea Gardens is in Acadia Nat Park Mt. Desert Island, Maine.
Kiev IIa 1957 with Helios 103.
I bought this camera and lens from Fedka a few years ago. I paid the premium and got an excellent camera and was very happy with this great looking camera. Turned out to have some light leaks and while I'm sure it would have been fixed no problem by Fedka (really nice guy) I sent it to STANISLAV STUDZINSKIY of mechanical cameras for a complete CLA with what ever it needed to make it right. He did a great job. I didn't know a Kiev could be so smooth.
I have been shooting B&W mostly lately, but these are Fuji Superia 400 X-tra. Jobo CPA-2, Jobo press kit that B&H will no longer mail and my last kit.

Thanks Klaus.
Funny, I thought they had a terrible green cast when I ran them through the scanner. After looking at the sky and other pictures I realized it was just that everything there was green, giving that illusion. The Fuji film I find tends to add to the strong greens.
This garden is manicured daily and is truly a beautiful place.
I haven't been on any forums in quite some time, but I seem to remember your location as Germany. Maybe my memory is getting bad as I age. |
I do like those places a lot and if I'm close to one, will certainly visit. So much serenity usually there.
You do remember well, I'm just for a few weeks here in California with my wife!

A lot of serenity in nearby Big Sur Redwoods, also manicured daily! 
You must visit the coast. 
There are many nearby Regional Parks, many with botanical gardens...
UCB Botanical Gardens and Berkeley Rose Garden.
