This is the second in a series of photos I'll make as a dedication to light painters who inspire me. It's also the premiere of a new tool.

A few notes:
This is my first official HDR of 2010 (I decided to reintroduce a lot of contrast and I specifically processed it to be more natural).
This shot is called "Dedication" because it was approximately -6 degrees out when I took this series. Yes, you read that right -- 6 below zero. The wind chill was somewhere around -15 to -20.
This is a 6-shot panorama, with each shot being 6 exposures. It was taken on my 5D Mark II with a 1.8 50mm lens at f/11. I've found that this lens, stopped way down, makes for insanely detailed panoramas.
It's best viewed large (contacts only, sorry). Even then, I reduced the size down for uploading. As big as the large Flickr version is, the original is nearly twice the size.
And yes, I have shot from this same parking garage about a billion times. Can you blame me?
Started in July 2019. the $50 million, three-story building project faced pandemic-related supply chain delays but was completed on budget. The new city hall is approximately 135,000 square feet and is located between the former City Hall and Building 2. More than 300 people will be providing all the same services – Treasurer, Revenue, DMV, City Clerk, Council Chambers, Volumeter Resources, and Communications.

My friend, Alice, passed today to be with our Lord. She was my very best friend's mother and was like a second mother to me. She is no longer suffering and now is at peace. She loved nature and was thrilled that I took up nature photography and encouraged me all the way. Alice, you will always be with us. My love goes to Gloria, Edmund, Jackie and Cecil.
It's hard to know what to make of this curious wall art outside St Joseph RC Church in Nechells, Birmingham, England.
It has dedications to what I presume are deceased parishioners, with some strange additions such as the website address of a construction firm and what seems to be a wine goblet in a recess.

Earlier this summer we drove South of Edmonton to the town of Morinville where they were celebrating St. Jean Baptiste Day. This chrome bell was mounted on the front bumper of a fire truck ,dedicated to the brave men and women who serve on the Morinville volunteer fire department.
A demotivational poster (in the style of despair.com ), created using fd's flickr toys ( bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php ).
It's been suggested I should have used a black background for it to be a proper demotivational poster. I picked the green because I thought it went well with the image!
Using my shot: www.flickr.com/photos/elwanderer/426622473/, which is itself a modified and improved version of a previous upload, which in turn I'd replaced in situ with a better version... the original capture has been heavily cropped and the colours altered a little to get to this point. Apologies if you feel like you seen this one too many times!
I'm really proud of the shot as I'd noticed the puddle (it was literally the only one on the pitch) before the match and was ready and waiting with the camera when the players dived into it after the ball.
Dedication unknown, Borley, Essex
Borley is a tiny hamlet not far from the high street of the large Suffolk village of Long Melford. It became, in the 1930s, the focus of notoriety thanks to the activities of a conman and self-proclaimed 'ghost hunter' called Harry Price. Price elaborated on the hoaxing and spoofing of the successive Rectors and their families of the time. As a result of his books, Borley Rectory became known as 'the most haunted house in England'. The hokum and fakery still attract a lunatic fringe of sensation-seekers with nothing better to do, and hence the church is ordinarily kept locked, unusually for north Essex.
An unlikely knock-on effect of the events at Borley was what happened at nearby Middleton - one might even imagine there was something in the water around here which led to such shameless self-delusion.
This, from the Observer for 31.12.2000:
In We Faked the Ghosts of Borley Rectory, Louis Mayerling - for whom the house was a second home until its destruction by fire in 1938 - reveals for the first time how the 'hauntings' were created by the rectory's various inhabitants. He describes how they watched in amazement as the world fell for the elaborate hoax.
An investigation carried out by the BBC the year before the fire, when Mayerling was 26, noted more than 2,000 incidents of paranormal activity and concluded that the hauntings were true. The Most Haunted House in England, a book by Harry Price, the most eminent psychical investigator of the time, who lived in the house for a year, cemented the rectory's position as the best documented case of haunting in the annals of psychical research.
'Harry's book became a sort of bible and foundation of knowledge to the thousands who, in that age of psychic phenomena, were keen to believe,' said Mayerling. 'Before long, Borley Rectory stories were practically a daily occurrence in the London newspapers: at the height of it all, we were visited by dozens of coaches packed with ghost-hunters each day. People were coming from as far away as America.
'I would love to say that there was a grain of truth in it all, but I felt that the book had to be written to reveal the farcical truth about the house - as personally experienced.'
George Bernard Shaw, T.E. Lawrence, Sir Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, and Bernard Spilsbury, the Home Office criminal forensic scientist, were firm believers in the hauntings and attended séances at Borley. Even now, belief in the hauntings has remained so powerful that the case is still held up by believers as incontrovertible proof of the supernatural.
Mayerling arrived in the house, on the Essex-Suffolk border, in 1918 to find the eccentric Rev Harry Bull and his family of 14 children taking active delight in perpetuating local stories of a spectral nun, a family ghost and paranormal activity in the area.
'The house was the embodiment of eccentricities of many kinds,' Mayerling remembered. He reveals in the book how a 'magic piano' that the Bulls claimed was played by spirit hands was in fact activated by the six-year-old Mayerling plucking the piano strings with a poker from the safety of a nearby gap in the wall.
The infamous examples of poltergeist activity were perpetrated by various servants and children who were, Mayerling claims, encouraged by the Bulls to exploit the house's many hidden doors and passages. 'The example of paranormal activity that was given most publicity was the ringing of the servants' bells,' said Mayerling. 'That was simply activated by prodding the servants' bells through the barred windows over the well in the kitchen passage.'
Britain's fascination with Borley peaked in the Thirties, when the Rev Lionel Foyster took over the parish with his wife Marianne. Foyster found it hard to survive on his church stipend of £6 a week, and he and his wife decided that boosting the ghostly reputation of Borley was the best way to make ends meet.
Mayerling, who had returned to live in the house with the Foysters, tells how the couple installed a new water heater which emitted heavy knocking sounds and proclaimed themselves horrified by the noises, and pitted the skirting boards with phosphorus powder which catches fire when exposed to the air.
The couple encouraged Mayerling, still just a teenager, to walk the gardens at dusk in a black cape and turned-up collar - giving birth to the myth of a headless monk who took to writing cryptic messages on the walls of the house.
'Probably to save costs at Borley, sea-sand had been used in the walls in place of the regulation material. This caused a permanent dampness which swallowed up anything written on them in a matter of hours,' Mayerling said. 'Nevertheless, many scholars recognised the wall-writings as being genuine poltergeist activity and they were illustrated in the press across the world, adding a great stimulus to psychical research and Spiritualism.'
The real ghosts of Borley, of course, are the Waldegrave family, lords of the manor in late medieval times, and memorialised in wide-eyed terror in effigy on their rustic tomb of about 1600.

I am finally over with this 'Dedications' series. Once again, I just want to thank all people for making Flickr so cool! I did think twice for each dedication, so please don't mind if you don't like what I have dedicated to you....hope you like yours :-)
and these dedications came up because while taking these pictures, I had you people in mind : ) or when I look at them,they remind me of you!! the picture for you,has a note over it with your name.....
I hope I've covered almost everyone for now..those I interact with, talk to....and if you believe you deserve a dedication and mistakenly I've missed you, all apologies..just don't mind : ))))
And there are a few people in my list for whom I could not come up with a worthy dedication, so I'll try n do that soon : )
Take care : ))

The Kuman Bible Dedication parade, including the brass band from the
Lutheran Trumpet School at Banz and a truckload of New Testaments,
marching through Kundiawa. Note the SIL aircraft on the airstrip behind the parade.
This is one of a series of photos of the Kuman New Testament dedication
in Kundiawa, Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, on the 27th day of June
2008. This is the first day these people could get a whole New Testament
in their own language. There are about 950 languages spoken in Papua New
Guinea. Other than the 3 national languages (Melanisian Pidgin, English,
and Hiri Motu), Kuman is the language with the third highest population
of speakers.

I know this poet-
he tangles with words
and sure enough,
we may never find closure.
but he would say:
close
sure.
(and those are his words, not mine.)
(for I use parenthesis)
Thesis?
We dance on clouds, we drift over each night
waiting for the day.
and when it does arrive-
it is empty and burdened.
Bird? End?
(small smile)
don't forget that night.
That day.
The sleepwalking dreams of the past.
For they brought us here
and we will always be
linked.

Members of the EDGE Residential College faculty and students in that college were on hand to dedicate a labyrinth behind State Hall on Thursday. The labyrinth was a service project that was suggested by the students as an improvement behind the hall as well as an area of meditation and reflection. To uphold ages-old tradition, the labyrinth was dedicated by song as the performer walked the labyrinth.
