Jun 3: The trek home

We took a stroll down to the pub for dinner. Stroll is an understatement, it's quite a trek over abandoned 19th century railways and past long disused engine houses. This is one of those engine houses on the way back at dusk, taken with the unmetered Rolleicord. Balanced on a rock for about 4 elephants.

This was the last frame of the film. You get 12 pics of a roll with a 6x6 camera. So when I get the film back, why where there 2 blank frames after this one? Well, it was on the way *back* from the pub and it was dark, maybe it was beer related. But then I looked in my 'shooting notes' and I see the beginning of the film should be beehive pics. Rats. Film loading error. I forgot to wind the film to the arrows before closing the back. And you know why? 'Cos I was trying to photograph loading the Rollei for PaD... Doh!
