Every day in Rodi Garganico, Apulien Italy, I am admiring on daily basis, amazing sunsets.
I suppose that, (by waking up earlier), I would admire great sunrise too in the Sunrise Beach...

Thank You!
Our Daily Challenge: Have you tried.......HeliconFocus?
I have been experimenting with photo stacking, and I came across. an image that just didn't work in Photoshop. I had 45 images stacked, auto aligned and auto blended in Photoshop and each time I got a weird blue cast and blown out area in the final image. I checked all 45 of the original images, and they were fine. It had to be user error, but each time I tried tweaking my process, I failed. A little Google search brought me to a new program "HeliconFocus". It is much faster than Photoshop and creates a better result. I am using the trial version and tried it again on this image. I like the results so far.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

Golden Monoliths
par/by SpY
Rue Faidherbe (Rambla), Lille
Imagined for lille3000’s 7th edition, the Golden Monoliths by Spanish artist SpY guide the visitors and participants of the parade to the heart of the city and its Fiesta. The gold titans seem like a modern take on the 17th century city gates, that welcomed the opening of carnivals and processions. They transform the urban landscape of Lille through the installation of fourteen golden shipping containers in a vertical position, aligned along its main street.
This monumental intervention reconfigures the everyday perception of the public environment, turning industrial objects into symbols that alter our understanding of space.
The street ceases to be a simple space of transit and becomes a ritual corridor, a passageway between
Originally conceived as utilitarian structures for global transportation and trade, the containers are decontextualized and coated in gold. Far from being a decorative gesture, this treatment converts their industrial purpose into an artistic resignification that oscillates between the functional and the symbolic.
SpY subverts the original identity of the containers through an installation that transforms the utilitarian into the mythological, in an exercise in spatial perception that invites reflection on the cult of consumption in modern society.

À l’image des portes de ville du 17ème siècle qui accueillaient l’ouverture des carnavals et des processions, les Golden Monoliths de l’artiste espagnol SpY guident le public et les participants à la parade au cœur de la ville et de sa Fiesta. Ils transforment le paysage urbain de Lille avec quatorze conteneurs dorés érigés à la verticale le long de la rue Faidherbe.
Cette intervention monumentale reconfigure notre vision quotidienne de la ville, transforme des objets industriels en symboles qui modifient notre perception de l’espace.
À l’origine conçues comme des structures utilitaires pour le transport et le commerce global, les conteneurs sont décontextualisés et peints en or. Loin d’être un geste décoratif, cette métamorphose vient bouleverser leur essence industrielle et leur confère un sens artistique entre fonction et symbole, utilité et mythologie.
We are all trying to plan our photographic trips in advance, but always something takes you by surprise.
This image was taken in Marken, Netherlands and the wind was blowing so hard that our travel tripods didn't stand a chance. Unfortunately, this is one of the few photos that was actually in focus. We love overcast days because of the good opportunity for capturing some nice contrast black and white pictures.
This one came up pretty good. Hope you like it, enjoy!

NGC 7000
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.
Three remaining headed (is that a word?) hoodoos nearly align with three bright planets (from left to right: Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter) in this night-sky panorama.
The orange-yellow-green gradient in the sky is airglow.
From somewhere in Utah.
