Summitar out on the town

I initially wanted to get some shots with the Canon Serenar 50/2.0, however at the last minute changed my mind after seeing how good the test images from the Summitar looked just the night before. It took a couple of set up shots to suss out the sweet spots of the lens, by bedtime it was settled that the Summitar gets first stab for a walkabout.

I didn't go exploring too much today being a shopping day, there are more people about town. So I started at IMS and simply skirted city centre's edge along the water and ended up making a loop that swings back into the train station from Gamle Stavanger before taking bus no 3 back home.

Some quaint little houses next to Norgrain AS. The view from the city bridge of this section always reminded me of  Kiki from Studio Gibli's Kiki's Delivery Service.

Norgrain AS

Kiki's town ... not sure how much longer it'll be there judging from the level of redevelopment in the area.

Norgrain AS in b and w.

Iron stairwell ... antique.

The city bridge from the ground.

Verven apartments, part of new modern redevelopment on the shoreside.

Walking towards Fiskepieren.

New apartments, there used to be a massive whale mural on the side wall of the old Smor Factory just to the left of this building. Towards the right are the original warehouses now most are refitted as offices.

Tufted Ducks at Breivatnet.

I was actually hoping for some (lost tourists) shots at the old houses in Gamle Stavanger but didn't catch anything that could qualify as a central focus. There was a cute black and white cat, it was too fast for me. There weren't anyone else there today. It was a nice walk, all 12000 steps of it.
