A picture a day

Thanks, I think I'll start with making a big chicken salad with some of the fried tomatoes and go from there. I've fermented red ones in brine with garlic before, I should do that too. Raining all day today, indoor tasks. Back to pictures -

Can we request a self-portrait in action at the skate park?

@loccdor isn't it lovely when the sky hands you a present?

Seconded; never knew you were a skater @MattKing! LOL

Yes, it felt like it came from a painting of one of the old masters. You've got a fantastic teal and brown pattern in that shot, definitely a favorite. Leeks, I think, which is an underappreciated food.

Just walking around that skate park for the purpose of achieving the right angle of view was risky enough!

Thanks; much appreciated. Yes, I'm partial to the teal/brown combination as well. My wife gifted me a copy of the Dictionary of Color Combinations today; I'll be sure to check if it's in there!
And indeed, you're right, they're leeks. Underappreciated perhaps, but very widely consumed around here. They're plentiful and cheap almost year-round. Something we take advantage of quite a lot. It so happens that the leeks grown in this particular field are for the supermarket chain that I do virtually all of our grocery shopping at. So there's a good chance that some of these end up on my own plate!

Must be the oldest (if not the only) surviving cinema in Berkeley by now?

Sadly, no. It's an indoor rock climbing gym. At least they kept the sign and marquee.

Great looking building!

I've always liked it.

Pic for tomorrow. Developed 3 E-6 films today as the 10-12th rolls of a liter kit. Used 44C instead of 41C and adjusted time and it seems to have gone well. Some Greek summer as well as New York autumn. May even try 15 rolls with this kit though I usually don't.
