"They Have Arrived"

And then it happened one day...There "they" were.
"They" arrived on pods of steel. People all around stood still to stare.
The world will never be the same again :)

Note: Where does the 6mp R-D1 digital rangefinder stand in today's world?
It's a hard sell to most as the price still hangs just below a used M8. And for the price,
you could buy a new Fuji "X" or Olympus OM-D.

But...the world's first digital rangefinder still takes wonderful photos, and in my
opinion, still the closest thing to a "film-like" experience in digital. I don't just
mean the photos, I mean the "experience" of using the camera. The huge viewfinder,
the "novelty" winding mechanism...The camera just feels very "analog" but it's digital!
If you could try one, you'll see what I mean.

The gulls crown
Why in the nature do we find so mysterious arrangements?
I like the nature so that permits a reflection on our human world.
:o) cool as always.
