What is it ?
It looks like a WW2 sea mine ?
We see loads of ex-mines at seaside locations, now rendered safe, used as charity boxes for seafarers' charities.

Not a mine, a giant piggy bank letter box, made from plough wheels.

Looks like a local farmer's letterbox to me.

Good use of the Horizon format, did you use the orange filter on the Horizon?

With waterlogged ground everywhere around here at the moment, perhaps I should drag my Horizon out and go tripodless to get over that sinking feeling.

Ha, Awty just beat me to it!

I love the Horizon. I have one of the older metal ones, super sharp lens. Good shot, but it still looks like a sea mine to me ...

Yes get into your Horizons, they are great.....when they work

My Horizon has never missed a beat; so far. Hasn't been that heavily used since picking it up in 1994, maybe 120-150 rolls great fun though. Did quite a lot of C41 for around a decade after purchasing it and usually managed two prints from a 30x40cm piece of paper. All Agfa RA4 colour paper, perfect match for Fuji Reala four layer colour negative.

Had a solid piece of steel laser cut for the negative holder on my 504 DeVere enlarger, they couldn't get the accuracy using aluminium or similar material at the time, but mild steel plate was perfect for them.
