Thanks for input, Erik! Developing temps were probably following manufacturer's recommendations. I say probably, because it was nearly 20 years ago...and I was often drinking while developing 😅. I am sure that my developer temps were correct, though. The apartment I lived in had air conditioning, so I doubt that the rest of the chem was ever too hot (but I probably didn't ever check). The thing is, I had scanned these negatives at various points in the past and the issue wasn't present 10-ish years ago (the last time I scanned them). And none of the other black and white film I have from that era shows this kind of deterioration (it's only the Neopan 400).

Well, on further examination, it does appear in my scans from 10 years ago. It's just that I was using a flatbed scanner at that time and the sharpness of 35mm scans was very poor and thus the reticulation was hard to see. With 'DSLR' scanning the apparent sharpness and resolution is much better and so the reticulation is more evident. Perhaps Fuji Neopan 400 was just more susceptible to temperature fluctuations than other films. Thanks, Erik! Problem solved.

The land around Connemara is very wet and often referred to as 'the bog' by locals. So when the temperature rises there is often some mist even later in the day than one might expect. It makes for good landscape photographs when combined with the hills and the sense of desolation.

me and the wagtail (Motacilla flava) meet the dawn in the fog - curious bird - probably always wanted to learn how to take pictures, but cowardly - barely visible in the photo)

steppe mound - I was taking pictures, and I was thinking about the history of this mound, I was making up a story for it like the ancient Egyptian pyramids)))

evening fog - then dew fell - got my feet wet - came into the house, drank hot tea, read a book - 10 years ago it was a beautiful wild place - no mobile phone service, no internet),
