Good picture, quite a bit more grain than the last few.
Rodinol process?

No, it was developed in HC-110. The grainy effect appears in the scan, and not in every part of the image.
I have a few more images that have that effect.

Flatbed scan ? Dirty glass can do that. I had toner dirt on a scanner that looked horrible until cleaned

Hang up and DRIVE!

One or two evenings every year, the moon rises over Temples I and II, before
the sun has set. The last rays of sunlight illuminate the tops of these pyramids,
peeking out over the jungle canopy.

Beautiful. Great composition- I like how the moon and the temples balance each other.

Thanks. There are only two days per year when the moon is above the pyramids and the sun still hits the facade of the temples.
The Mayans left nothing to chance. Great astronomers and mathematicians; not so hot calculating habitat carrying capacity.

That was about 1,000 years ago, but today
