Neighbourhood Apple Pressing...
View previous topic :: View next topic

... shot with the Takumar 1.4/50 (mostly).

We have a nicely organized and supportive neighbourhood in our little village.
Some of us cultivate and foster a row of apple trees together. This weekend we could harvest and press the apples for some fresh juice and must.

Of course, I took the chance to shoot some pics.
I brought the EF-S 17-85 and the Takumar 1.4/50 since I was expecting poor light conditions.

I have shot some pics with the Electro 35, but these have to go to the lab first.

It was a fun day. There was a factory worker, a policeman, a teacher, a university professor of linuguistics, a historian, an office clerk and some housewives working hand in hand.

And this apple juice tastes like heaven!!

No, Patrick. I don't think so. (I don't even know if that would be legal in Germany without an offical licence.)
We have offered some "must" (freshly pressed juice) but have heated most of it in order to pasteurize it.
And we sell it for €6,- / 10 litres to our neighbourhood. The money will be used to buy things we need to cultivate the trees.

Great series - I love apples. Smile

We make chutney with most of ours, although I think it is legal to make cider in small quantities. Maybe next year. Confused

About the "utopia". I hope we don't live in one, since all utopian models in literature finally turned out to be a failure... Wink

Yes. But the hope of the existence of the utopias, make us much more happy. "One man of my street told me that he had a friend who told him that one day saw a man that once was happy" said an old song by J.M. Serrat (spanish singer).

The better for you and your friends. Rino.

This is something I really like.

A group of citizens goes together to make something, instead off sitting indside and complain about there is to many apples on the lawn this year.

Nice pictures also.


Way to go Very Happy
