Bell Telephone (not sure if it is AT&T now) has a "telephone pole farm" in Chester, NJ, where they test the aging properties of different woods and treatments. These are both image scans of HP5+ developed Pyrocat-HD, Rollei 6006 & 80mm:

After the "telephone pole farm" I visited the old Chester Congregational Church. I found the storage sheds out back interesting (rather than the 10,000th gravestone photograph) and the hand prints in particular made me think of the similar handprints left behind both in the South West, and in the pre-historic caves in the Dordogne region of France. Again, negative scans from HP5+, Pyrocat-HD, Rollei 6006 & 80mm:

Went on a crazy canoe adventure yesterday. Scouting a new river that is a tributary to the Alapaha, called the Alapahoochee. The water was low and we ended up finding ourselves in some solid Class 3 white water, pretty rare for Florida and not optimal in a 15ft canoe! We had to carefully trek through the river while passing the boats to each other.
A couple of shots in calm water:
Pentax 67ii, 35mm / 55mm, Tri-X, SPUR-HRX
Along the water theme, here's from last week at Falls Creek in Okanogan County, WA. Rollei infrared film with 80mm lens, scanned from Ilford print.
