And they arrived today! I received two very nice prints from Uwe. One of the entrance of the Passage KL Joachimstahl in Leipzig. One of the few typical and nicely decorated corridors in the old city centre of Leipzig. A few years ago, I visited Leipzig and had a nice meetup with Uwe and his wife. While in Leipzig, I had good dinner at the Wenzel Prager Bierstube of which the entrance can be seen in the back this photo. Good memories, both to good company and a good meal & beer. The 2nd print is a winter landscape with a tree reflected in the water. Both photos are well printed on Adox MCC110. Vielen Dank Uwe!

Thanks for the comments. It's always good to hear that the print has arrived and more so, when it is liked as well.

My contribution will be a bit delayed and I don't want to bore this thread with the state of the local postal system.
As soon as the matter is solved I will notify on the status. Sorry about this...

Looks like my print has gone missing so in the next few days after the W/E I'll prepare another to replace it, my apologies for this...

Ced, I have received an impressive print from you, many thanks. Nothing went missing, except I was too busy to post here. I´m really sorry for that.

Would you like to share with us the details of the process? I have never heard of the bleach & redevelopment of a Cyanotype, and really would like to learn to do it.

Thanks a lot again!

I have finally brought my contribution to the mail today, I hope it takes a fast flight across the big pond!

Regarding cyanotype bleaching, I post some links for those that don't know.
Thread dealing with it on this site:
https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/toning-cyanotype-when-you-dont-want-the-blues.39550/
Note!
Bleach types: the most common form of bleach solution is Sodium Carbonate. That’s Washing Soda, usually found in your grocery store’s cleaner aisle, or at a photography chemical supply store.
Don’t confuse this with Sodium Bicarbonate – baking soda – it won’t react the same way.

It took me a long time to decide what to print and send but it's done. I put my contribution in the mail this morning. It's going on a long journey but airmail is pretty fast these days.

There seems to be some kind of blues in BPX Only around half the sending is on it's way. Tomorrow starts the rest and relaxation month. Please use that to make the missing prints.

Big delay on my side. I will try to do the print this Saturday and sent it next week.

Mine are done and dusted (slightly) and in the hands of the intrepid (using the term loosely) Posty. Hope they can find Belgium, think its some where near Montreal.
