Yellow ski trail

If I want a long walk at Durand Eastman Park that does not follow the lakes, I take the yellow ski trail.

If I want a long walk at Durand Eastman Park that does not follow the lakes, I take the yellow ski trail. It winds its way up and down the hills and ridges around the golf course. In the winter it is a one way trail due to one steep stretch where mixing directions would be a very bad idea — and where it would be dangerous going down unless one really knew what they were doing.

It was good to be back out with the Brick. The film is long-outdated Kodak Gold 200 cross-processed in D76. It gives a low-contrast negative needing a lot of contrast expansion in the Gimp. It would be tricky to print in a darkroom, methinks.

I am a photographer, walker, and sometime paddler, a theologically-educated geek living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska.

I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras.

With major back surgery in August 2019 and bunion repair in January 2020 now behind me, I am gearing up to start Appalachian Trail NOBO in June, 2021 to celebrate my seventy-first birthday. Blogging for The Trek.
