I hate posting this in the presumptuous "photography as art" forum, but I'm not sure where else "quiet" works like this (which are not portraits, street, macro, landscape, etc) belong -
Jakkals trou met wolf se vrou (Jackal is marrying wolf's wife) is an old Afrikaans saying that is utterred when the rare event that is a sunshower occurs. I took both of these during one such event in the beautiful late-afternoon sun.

The second one no longer really illustrates the sunshower, but the crispness and atmosphere I felt that afternoon. The first one was a more serious attempt to capture the essence of the event. I am also addicted to this lens' rendering - almost clinical like modern lenses, but with very gentle contrast in the highlights. It's basically impossible to blow highlights with this lens and negative film.
