I took a drive out to the country a couple of weekend ago to visit the cemeteries where my grandparents are resting. The churches in both places have been around for years although the upkeep on each one has been slightly different. Saint Elias Ukrainian Orthodox Church is a small run down building in the cemetery where my Father's parents are resting. The old weathered wood makes the perfect subject for this 7 frame HDR Image.

"Sheriff L.L. Wyatt"
"(Continued from other sided)
moonshiners resisted arrest, Wyatt regularly shot it out with them. He killed over a half dozen men, all of whom shot at him first.
The most famous gunfight of Sheriff Wyatt's career occurred in 1974. He was 70 years old at the time. Bank robbers eluded a 100 - car police chase that started in Wrens, Georgia, and ended in Greene County. The bank robbers had killed a teller at the bank in Wrens and had taken two women hostage. Sheriff Wyatt set up a road block midway between Union Point and Greensboro. Wyatt stood in the middle of the road as the speeding car approached. The robbers attempted to shoot him, but the gun misfired. One bank robber was killed in the ensuing battle, but both women were unharmed. Sheriff Wyatt subsequently received the award of Peace Officer of the Year for his bravery in this Incident.
Sheriff Wyatt was a family man, devoted to his wife, son, and grandchildren. He was a businessman, lending experience to the operation and affairs of the Citizens Union Bank as a director. He was a community leader who had concern for all citizens-- rich and poor, black and white. Out of a concern of these people, legend has it that Sheriff Wyatt confronted a notorious member of the Dixie Maffia and proclaimed, "These are my people and I want you to leave them alone!"
Sheriff Wyatt, also known as Mr. Sheriff, was the epitome of a community oriented police officer long before such an idea was born and served as an example for every officer to follow."
On a previous visit, I opened an account at the "Bank at Sale" public house which as you can see coincidentally serves Bank's ales.The landlord was very good because he allowed me to make a couple of withdrawals straight away.
Russo-Chinese bank was built 1901 and was designed by Heinrich Bake
the Bank of Taiwan Building was built in 1924 for a japanese bank of that name. The two floors above the main banking hall were originally rented out, whilst the top floor provided living quarters and recreational rooms for bank staff.

York, officially the City of York, is a city and unitary authority area in North Yorkshire, England. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, it is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire and was the home of the House of York throughout its existence. The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. The local authority is the City of York Council, a single tier governing body responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city. The City of York local government district includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and JórvÃk. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a major hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre, a status it maintained well into the 20th century. During the Second World War, York was bombed as part of the Baedeker Blitz. After suffering heavy damage in the Blitz, most buildings were completely gutted and left in disrepair until restorations began during 1960s. In 2000, York suffered very severe flooding as the River Ouse rose, affected over 300 homes underwater.
The economy of York is dominated by services. The University of York and National Health Service are major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. In 2016, York became sister cities with the Chinese city of Nanjing. An agreement signed by the Lord Mayor of York, focusing on building links in tourism, education, science, technology and culture. Today, the city is a popular tourist attraction to Chinese visitors.
At f/5.6 we're not Elgeet sharp, but it's quite pleasant.
On the whole, though, it's not a lens I'd use very often. While it's nice to have a *good* zoom on the Q, it's heavy, bulky, overbalances the camera, and has to be stopped way down to get good performance. Even with the inferior image quality and limited range, I'd probably use the native 02 Zoom more, just because it's comfortable to use on the camera.
St Mary's Church Beverley founded in 1120. in the second quarter of the 13th century the nave was built. The church has been developed over 400 years of almost continuous building from about 1120 to 1530.

Philadelphia City Hall. Designed by Scottish-born architect John McArthur, Jr., and constructed from 1871 until 1901 at a cost of $24 million. Originally designed to be the world's tallest building, by the time it was completed it had already been surpassed by the Washington Monument and the Eiffel Tower, though it was the world's tallest habitable building at the time of opening, topped by a statue of William Penn. It remained the tallest building in Philadelphia until the construction of One Liberty Place (1984–1987) broke the informal "gentlemen's agreement" that limited the height of tall buildings in the city. This was cited as a reason, the curse of Billy Penn, why Philadelphia Sports teams failed to win any trophies after 1983 - since lifted with the Phillies winning the world series in 2007. is the largest municipal building in the United States

Cebu's famous landmark - The Fuente Osmeña Circle. Seen here, one of the tallest building in the city, the Crown Regency Hotel.
Haydarpaşa Station, on the Asian side, is a major intercity rail station and transportation hub in Kadıköy, İstanbul.
The tracks do not cross the Bosphorus, but there is a train ferry, that carries rail cars from HaydarpaÅŸa, on the Asian side, to Sirkeci, on the European side.
In 1871 Sultan Abdülaziz ordered a rail line to be built from Haydarpaşa to İzmit. Haydarpaşa station was built by German architects Otto Ritter and Helmut Conu in a neo-classical arhitecture. Its foundation is based on 1100 wooden piles, each 21 meters long, driven into the mushy shore by a steam hammer. German and Italian stonemasons crafted the facade embellishments of the terminal. The new station was inaugurated on November 4, 1909 for the anniversary of Mehmed V. Since the station was built next to the Bosphorus, freight trains would unload at Haydarpaşa and the freight would be transferred to ships. In 2010 a fire caused by carelessness during the restoration process, destroyed the roof and the 4th floor of the station building. Haydarpaşa Railway Station temporarily closed to long distance trains for at least 30 months for modernisation works.
