En fechas veraniegas como es en el caso de dicha captura. Tuve la oportunidad de poder ofrecerme unas merecidas vacaciones en mi querido pueblo Villasur, Provincia de Castilla y LeĂłn. Uno de eso tal dĂas donde podĂa realmente tener mi merecido tiempo, AsĂ fue. Normalmente y por si acaso me lleve mi equipo de fotografĂa. Aprovechando esos dĂas me pase a unos lugares donde realmente nunca habĂa explorado y menos poder sacar alguna foto que otra. Mirando y explorando como no con GPS actuales. Realmente era necesario. En mi opiniĂłn he tenido que buscarme la vida para poder encontrar algo de ferrocarril cerca de donde estaba. Como veis en este caso en la localizaciĂłn exactamente en Dueñas, A fueras de Valladolid, No me esperaba algo asĂ, Fue una autentica pasada de sitio. Es que positiva mente opino que lo tenia todo lo bueno, El terreno, La luminosidad, Margen de espacio. En fin sin palabras. Cabe decir que a lo lejos veremos la EstaciĂłn de Dueñas actualmente. DespuĂ©s de estar normalmente 2 duras horas a pleno sol de la tarde, Un dĂa de diario pudimos ver bastante movimiento. La verdad es que me sorprendiĂł. Como podĂ©is ver en la captura ya con las ultimas luces de la tarde. Debo recalcar que en mis carpetas de archivos no suelo tener normalmente cazado este tipo de circulaciones, Es mas casi prĂĄcticamente imposible poder cazar este tipo de composiciĂłn exacta en Vizcaya. Como podĂ©is ver pude cazar a estas doble Primas 333.392+333.345 formĂĄndose un bonito bobinero corto, A muy buena marcha minutos mas antes de salir de Venta de Baños. Con destino a Salamanca.

No sĂ© el tamaño exacto de esta flor, pero, como referencia puedo decir que era del tamaño de una uña de meñique. Verdaderamente pequeña. Si no llega a ser porque la vio Anam1973, a mĂ se me habrĂa pasado, asĂ que va dedicada a ella.

No exact date for this but its 1972, location is Stromferry. Class 24 D5119 is on a Kyle to Inverness service. Looks like there is a mini gift shop in the Station Car Park and we also have a Ford Capri and Triumph in view along with a Post Office Morris 1000 Van.
D5119 was new to Inverness in May 1960 and withdrawn from Haymarket in July 1976.
Image from a slide in my collection by an unknown photographer.
This wasp - exact species unknown (Yellowjacket?) - was meticulously going through just about every flower in the patch. I think maybe it was drinking nectar? Or maybe it was hunting? Not sure... I shot many frames! This one is my favorite.
Observed at Parc Jarry in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox V850ii flash. This was with the lens near, but not quite at MFD, so I think the macro reproduction ratio would be somewhere under 2:1, and the frame maybe about 13-16mm wide.

Vandaag exact 30 jaar geleden werden Tiel en Kesteren voor het laatst bediend vanuit Utrecht Goederenemplacement (Utrecht GE), daarna gebeurde dat vanuit Arnhem GE. Ik was deze dag in opleiding en bezig met de zg. opfris-BOM. Je begon als machinist met de Basis Opleiding Machinist en mocht dan na succesvol afronden alleen rangeren, niet de hoofdbaan op. Utrecht kende toen met zowel reizigers- als goederendiensten gelukkig nog veel variatie. naar gelang verloop stroomde je door, na wettelijk minimaal een jaar rangeerdienst, en kreeg je een opfrisopleiding en proefritdag als examen. 15 januari 1993 was ik zodoende weer in opleiding en mocht mee op de goederendienst naar Tiel en Kesteren. Omdat ik dus zelf reed en rangeerde onder begeleiding van een ervaren machinist heb ik niet veel dia's van deze bijzondere dag. Uit die ruime handvol kies ik er drie waaronder deze.
De glasfabriek werd toen al niet meer bediend, maar vanwege het Utrechtse afscheid was geregeld dat er naast 1 van de 2 locjes (deze O&K en een Deutz) geposeerd kon worden en de aanwezige liefhebbers mochten per hoge uitzondering mee "naar binnen" het terrein van de glasfabriek op.
In the early 1800's there was a open municipal market in the general area of this location of a future City Hall. Between 1823 & 1842, it was located on this exact site. Farmers and gamesellers displayed their wares, and live fish were sold from cypress tanks. In 1842, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered the open markets removed. It was not until ten years later, in 1852, that the order was obeyed and then only after a complaint was filed in chancery court. Bonds were issued to finance the new building. The building was completed in 1858 during the term of Mayor Jones M. Withers with a Italianate style of architecture. It continued to serve as a market place and was also used as a militia armory during the Civil War where reserve troops drilled in the court yard. After the Civil War, several municipal offices moved into the upper floors of the building. Part of the structure continued to serve as an armory and shop owners began to move into the lower parts of the building. A few shops were still vending their miscellaneous wares from the structure in 1940. Gradually the entire building was occupied by municipal offices and became the center of municipal government for Mobile, housing the offices of the three city commissioners and the majority of the departments of city government. The complex was damaged by Hurricane Frederic on September 12, 1979, causing the tenants at that time to vacate the building but was later restored. Beginning in 1997, the building was renovated to house the History Museum of Mobile. An addition was added to the back of the building in 2000 to house the Museum's permanent exhibits & staff offices. The museum was closed for repairs for approximately six months following flood damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but remains today as a National Historic Landmark (NHL) continuing to house the above mentioned museum.
The Old City Hall / Southern Market was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on December 3, 1969 and the NHL list on November 7, 1973.

I got a chuckle out of running into this empty ethanol train coming back from Norfolk Southern. Often I see ethanol trains coming east with Union Pacific power led by a single Norfolk Southern cab-signal-equipped engine in the Harrisburg, PA area. East of North Platte, NE on the Kearney Subdivision, it was the exact opposite.
Exact een half uur na de passage van TXL was het wederom de beurt aan RTB Cargo. Opvallend genoeg heeft RTB Cargo ineens erg veel zwarte Vectrons in dienst: bijna alles wat we deze dagen van RTB Cargo zagen had een zwarte loc voor de trein...
Als trein 49198 zijn de 193 603 en 193 858 met een sleep ketelwagens onderweg van Linz naar Gelsenkirchen Bismarck.
Exacto, no quiero ser fuerte, no quiero pasar pĂĄgina, no quiero subir el escalĂłn, no quiero dejar de pensar en lo que pienso dĂa tras dĂa, no quiero. Simplemente porquĂ© es de lo que vivo, es lo que realmente me alimenta y me hace sentir viva, y consigue que estĂ© felizmente triste y completamente vulnerable a cualquier acto en mi contra.
Me he dado cuenta de que ya formas parte de mi vida, de mi dĂa a dĂa, de mi vocabulario. EstĂĄs completamente encerrado en mi cabeza complicĂĄndome la vida, haciendo que vaya andando con todo este peso encima, contando cada minuto, cada segundo para verte, para volver a estar contigo y sentirme como realmente tendrĂa que sentirme sin que tu estuvieses apoderado de mi cuerpo, de mis acciones y de todo lo que me rodea.
Todo hace que replantee si de verdad vale la pena todo este esfuerzo, si voy a conseguir lo que quiero o si tendrĂa que pasar, pero imagĂnate, que ni yo misma lo sĂ©.
TambiĂ©n he llegado a cuestionarme sinceramente si alguien te ha llegado a querer, tanto como te estoy queriendo yo, a parte de tus padres y familiares, lo dudo. TĂș estĂĄs siendo todo por lo que ahora mismo sigo esperando ese 5 de agosto.
Me acabo de dar cuenta, de que mi cumpleaños es el 11 de agosto, justo ese dĂa harĂĄ 4 meses desde que estuve en tus brazos sin importarme completamente nada de lo que me rodeaba.
SĂ© que no vas a leerlo, sĂ© que quizĂĄs te llegue a importar lo mĂĄs mĂnimo, y sĂ© que me muero por verte, por hablarte, por estar contigo...
Realmente, no pensaba que alguien podrĂa ha llegar hacerme tanto daño sin haberme hecho nada. Me duele el corazĂłn, me duelen las manos, los brazos, las piernas, los ojos, las pestañas, las uñas... por estar ahora mismo contigo, no sĂ© que serĂa capaz de dar... supongo que lo que me pidieran, y lo digo en serio.
SerĂa capaz de recorerme media penĂnsula, hasta llegar ahĂ, contigo.
Te echo de menos y te quiero mucho.
This picture is a composite of two photos shot from âalmostâ the exact same location then merged in photoshop to create the final 2:1 format image. I love this format so I'm always looking for an opportunity to create one.
The photoshoot was a planned trip timed to catch the sunrise between Courthouse Butte and Rabbit Ears which is exactly what you see here, got to love Photopills. A little research will often result in getting exactly what you expect and often even better. Atmospheric conditions were not what I hoped for so I had to add a sunrise from my extensive library of sunrise and sunsets to complete the final product.
Snowing here in northern Arizona today so waiting for the right time to get out and do a snow shoot.
Hope you like it and always appreciate your comments and favas.
Or typical Gronings to be exact. The small villages in my native province still sport lots of this style houses. They all vary in size and detail depending one the wealth of the owner. Itâs fair to say they were mostly inhabited by middle class craftsman and little shop owners. If you want to see real live examples I can recommend visiting the wierde (terp) -villages of Ezinge, Niehove and Garnwerd.
After building the Crofterâs farm I became inspired and decided to build a second house for the upcoming lay-out. Initially the farm was meant as house for the bridge operator. Iâve decided to let the miller live in the farm instead and upgrade the bridge operator to a bigger house. This one is late 18th century and features sash-windows with soldier courses and a gable roof with clipped ends (wolfseind in Dutch). Furthermore the windows have shutters and there are cramp-irons keeping the first floor beams in place. On top there are two big chimneys. Iâm very happy with the brick-build windows!
The bridge operator married an entrepreneurial wife who is operating a living room café (huiskamercafe) in the house. Supplying ale and gin (jenever) to thirsty travelers and farmer hands at the end of a long, hard day working the field. Behind the house Grietje is waiting for a delivery of Gin. That guy is always late, and drunk :)
As always, let me know what you think!
An interesting photograph taken at Mansfield in 1948(?). I can't accurately pinpoint the exact location but it looks as though Mansfield shed is to the right of the train - as the shed was west of the station I assume the train is approaching Mansfield station.
The working looks to be a 'special' of some sort - maybe a summer excursion to the coast or a footex?
*See comments below, re location*
40518 (leading) is a MR Johnson/Fowler 2P Class 4-4-0. The loco was built in 1899 by Sharp, Stewart & Company of Glasgow (later to become the North British Locomotive Company) and withdrawn from 20A Leeds Holbeck in 1956 - being scrapped at Derby Works in the same year.
41924 is a MR Whitelegg 2P Class 4-4-2T - built in 1903 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow and withdrawn from 16A Nottingham in November 1949 - being scrapped a month later at Derby Works in December 1949.

Dordrecht - 14 Juli 2006
Don't exact as coarse are my avowals,
They befit the traits of my own fate.
I find that my lips are caught in dryness
From the thoughts of you I have of late.
I pay back the due within my power,
With my life embodied in a plea,
I find myself breathless in my tower
From the thoughts of you that come to me.
Never mind my garden is storm ravaged,
With myself I live in battle state,
That yet again my eyes are full of tears
From the thoughts of you I have of late.
Don't exact as coarse are my avowals,
They befit the traits of my own fate.
I find that my lips are caught in dryness
From the thoughts of you I have of late. m.youtube.com/watch?v=F0zhsvgX9NU
The Knekt shaft at Sala Silvermine, Sala, Sweden.
The Knekt (Swordsmen) shaft was initiated in 1604 and was, when it stood ready in year 1639, 148 meters deep. The shaft never reached the desired minerals, but between 1646 and 182 it was in use as the mineâs main pumping shaft. In the late 1800s the shaft was extended to 190 meters depth and in 1887 a shaft tower was built over the shaft. In 1969 this tower collapsed, but in 2003 an exact copy of it was rebuilt. Two modern elevators where installed in the same year.

For as long as I have known about this phenomenon, I have envisioned capturing a beautiful sunrise or sunset at one of these mysterious holes in Death Valley National Park. The holes that appear and disappear at the Devilâs Golf Course part of the park are just so fascinating to me as they crust over or seemingly appear randomly almost overnight. On this morning I had the whole area to myself as a spectacular sunrise unfolded.
This image is but one frame in a time lapse I captured as the Sun rose behind the Black Mountains. In fact I have been sporadically capturing time lapses in this park for many years and I have finally put together my first film from those efforts. Death Valley Volume 1: The Salt Flats is now on Youtube.
Same exact part of the dunes, weeks later after the tractors had appeared to have finished their landscaping and the metal sheets had been removed.
I was thinking of printing this and then glue it to the tree in that exact spot. The tree is in a park so I'm sure it could freak some people out.
I'm just twisted enough
to do it, too.
When we discovered the stray from the Winter was preggers with kittens, we decided to take her in on the screened deck. We fixed her a bed and sheâs been out there for about three weeks. This morning we woke up to KITTENS!!!!! Six to be exactâŠ.everyone is eating and sheâs taking good care of them. Being protective, but doesnât mind if we pick one up or change the bedding. We donât intend to keep any of them and will try to get them adopted. Momma, aka Miss Kitty, will be fixed and let back outside. In these photos, they are less than eight hours old.
Exact vijf minuten na doortocht van het koppel 21'ers moest het fototoestel weer vol aan de bak voor de volgende goederentrein.
De zilvergrijze TRAXX 186 254-9 van Railpool, in dienst voor LINEAS, had de eer om twee nieuwe Desiro City-stellen (707013 en 707014) voor het Britse spoorbedrijf South West Rails (sinds begin 2018 omgedoopt in South Western Railways) van Aachen West naar Muizen over te brengen. Later zou het hele convooi dan verderrijden tot in het Franse Calais. Vanuit Calais zou de trein tot slot met GBRf via de Kanaaltunnel richting Dollands Moor sporen.
De kleurrijke Desiro City-stellen zaten jammer genoeg wat verscholen achter de struikjes maar gelukkig liep de filmcamera mee! Ik zal dan ook binnenkort een filmpje van deze trein uploaden...
Oh ja, later op de dag maakte ik nog kort kennis met Stefan Geertsen die deze trein enkele honderden meters eerder kon fotograferen. Zijn foto vinden jullie hier.
---
Only five minutes after this steel train, it was a new TRAXX-locomotive who passed my place in Linkhout.
At 3:03 pm the train came into view with LINEAS 186 254 in front. The locomotive hauled the Desiro City-EMU's 707013 and 70714 for South West Rails (nowadays South Western Railways) towards Calais, from whereon these new Desiro's continued towards Dollands Moor and Clapham Yard.
As the brandnew Desiro City-EMU's are a little bit behind the bushes, I will also upload a short movie of this train!
Linkhout (Belgium, Limburg) - November 22, 2017 - 3:03 PM.
What I found interesting about this capture was the reappearance of this Vireo, nesting on the exact same twig as her nest last year.

July 4th Fireworks Over the Harbor - Saint Augustine Harbor
Waiting for the large 'Fireworks Barge' arrival, to take its dark
center-stage spot (exact-center of the harbor), while everyone
waits in anticipation of the main event - and it's pretty cool!!
Joyfully captured from atop the iconic Bridge of Lions,
waiting for the sun to set, for the twilight to move in,
for the darkness to appear, and for the FIREWORKS
over the harbor to BEGIN! - Happy Independence Day!

The exact date Dungeon Ghyll the building is unknown, but it was originally a farm and an inn, noted in 1885 as being known as Middlefell Inn. The farm buildings have since been incorporated into the main inn building, with the cow stalls forming the Hiker's Bar. Situated in Great Langdale it is known to archaeologists as the source of a particular type of Neolithic polished stone axe head, created on the slopes of the Pike of Stickle and traded all over prehistoric Great Britain and Europe.

An exact replica of Mk IX Supermarine Spitfire PT 462. It was photographed in the garden of an ex-Spitfire pilot who had it built after flying the original PT 462. As Moffat is the birthplace of Air Chief Marshall Lord Hugh Dowding, the C-in-C of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, the replica has been left to Dowding House and the people of Moffat.
The exact shot was posted back in November, 2010 called "coolness". I wanted to play around with the white balance and the tones so here is a different one.
Mirror
I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see I swallow immediately
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel, only truthful â
The eye of a little god, four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long
I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.
Faces and darkness separate us over and over.
Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,
Searching my reaches for what she really is.
Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.
I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.
She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.
I am important to her. She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

I usually don't disclose exact locations of my photos but with this one I am 100% confident that none that sees this post will ever visit this extremely remote island đ
The tour to Rebun Islands was one of my favorites during last year's autumn trip. It's the northern tip of Japan where you can even see Russian territory.

Willen Lake, off V10 Brickhill Street, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknow, likely to be in May 2008.
About the photograph.
This is a guy doing cable wakeboarding. He is seen just about to get onto the jump ramp, to go up and do a jump.
Note his eyes looking at the bottom of the ramp, to ensure he gets his wakeboard onto the ramp.
No idea why heâs holding the cable with one hand, maybe the reason is to use his free arm to balance himself as he goes up the ramp.
The photographs were taken with a Minolta X-700 35mm film SLR camera, with attached Motordrive MD-1. The lens used was a Centon MC 500mm mirror lens, via a T2 adaptor.
I canât remember which film I used, so it was either Kodak (my primary choice) or Agfa (my secondary choice).
The film was sent away for develop and printing. The digital photos were either scanned to a CD-ROM at the same time as they were printed, or I may have scanned the prints to my computer. I think the first one is highly likely.
I canât remember the exact date I took those photographs as I lost the information. I lost the notes and journals. The digital files were moved around from computer to computer so often, that the EXIF got overwritten. Most likely could be either Sunday 4th or Monday 5th of May 2008.
The reason for either of those dates was because I was in Milton Keynes for a fan convention, which was happening during that weekend.
I was there to meet celebrities, and getting autographs from some movie and/or television actors, as well as taking photos of them. After the weekend, either on Sunday or Monday, I was on my way home. To get to the motorway, I needed to go past Willen Lake, and I was aware of cable wakeboarding activity there.
So I decided to stop by, watch the wakeboarding, and try to finish off the roll of film that was in my X-700.
About the subject.
Willen Lake is an approximately 100 acres of water, found at a 180 acres parkland, in approximately northeast-east part of Milton Keynes, not very far from Junction 14 of the M1 motorway. It is a visitor and leisure attraction, that gets about 750,000 visitors a year.
The lake included various watersports activities, including cable wakeboarding, boating, and so on.
Cable wakeboarding is like, instead of being pulled by a fast motorboat, the surfers are being pulled by an overhead cable that goes around the lake on a pully system. Somewhat similar to a poma lift at a ski resort, except that it is moving faster.
I have no idea when did this cable wakeboarding at Willen Lake started, but sadly by 1st November 2022, The Parks Trust, an organisation that owns the leisure activities, had decided to close the wakeboarding facility, as it as a loss-making activity.

The Walter Hill Hydroelectric Station is located in Rutherford County (population 95,948) on the East Fork of the Stones River just off U.S. Highway 231 and approximately six miles north of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Although a conundrum exists concerning the exact date, 1912 appears to be the most likely year for the construction of a small power station built by the Murfreesboro Light and Power Company at Walter Hill, on the East Fork of the Stones River, a mill site since 1804. After a flood in 1918 damaged the dam the Southern Cities Power Company purchased the site and built the extant power station soon thereafter. In 1926 the property was transferred to the Commonwealth Southern River Company. Power continued to be produced at the Walter Hill site until 1934 until a subsidiary of Commonwealth Southern River Company, Murfreesboro Light and Power, shut down the generator. 1939 marked the acquisition of the property by the TVA, which continued to produce power until September 26, 1940 when the site was sold to the city of Murfreesboro. It ceased producing electricity in 1941. The site is currently leased by the City of Murfreesboro to the Tennessee Highway Department which manages it as roadside park.
The Walter Hill Hydroelectric Station is significant under National Register criterion C for engineering because it represents the kind of hydroelectric engineering projects typical at the time of its construction on the smaller rivers of the State of Tennessee. Its design and size, while not unique among its class in the Volunteer State, display the characteristic vertical emphasis of what can be called âearly hydro-style.â It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 11, 1990.
Image was taken during my trek to photograph all 95 county courthouses across my home state of Tennessee...now revisiting in order that the courthouses were photographed!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

De nouveau accessible au public depuis le 1er juin aprĂšs des annĂ©es de fermeture, le toit de la Grande arche de la DĂ©fense se pare des trois couleurs nationales pour cĂ©lĂ©brer le 14 juillet. Sa capacitĂ© lui permettra dâaccueillir jusquâĂ un millier de personnes.....Et moi et moi !
Ce vendredi, de 9 h 30 Ă 18 heures, le toit a pris des allures de « fĂȘte champĂȘtre patriotique » avec fanfare, transats, drapeaux tricolores, pique-nique et autres animations. Premier temps fort, le passage des avions de la patrouille de France dans le cadre du dĂ©filĂ© militaire des Champs-ElysĂ©es. SituĂ© dans lâaxe historique (Arc de triomphe, Concorde, pyramide du Louvre), le toit de lâArche est exactement sur le trajet des pilotes, entre 10 heures et 10 h 30.
Le défilé du 14 juillet coûte environ 5 centimes d'euros par Français. Un coût négligeable au vu du symbole et de l'aspect parfois diplomatique d'un tel événement.
Another Lighthouse, but the exact opposite side of the Country to the last image....
A trip to shoot Storm Agnes as she rolled into the UK, we headed up to Whitehaven arriving about an hour before sunset, the weather had suggested very strong winds and rain and with that the possibility of some big waves over the harbour walls here.
As it transpired the waves just did not materialise at all but the sky was absolutely epic with thick black cloud rolling through the area just in front of what appreared to be blue skies and wispy sirrus clouds behind it, I'd never experienced a sky quite like that before.
The rain was quite relentless but the forecast suggested a break in it right around sunset so I just set up and covered the camera over to wait for a clear opportunity, thankfully we managed several shots while we were getting a good soaking.
I've not posted this image before, this was one of the first shots I took that evening before the blackness truly rolled in but you can see it creeping in from the right, the high winds meant that I really didn't need a crazy shutter speed to scatter the clouds across the sky and the lower speed also allowed for more detail in the slower moving dark areas. I liked the contrast in this image of the 2 sides of the sky with some nice calming colour on the left and a sense of what was to take over from it on the right.

... Ă la lumiĂšre du jour. C'est la saletĂ© et le vieillissement du vernis qui donnaient l'illusion de la nuit, qui pouvait passer pour normale dans lâĆuvre de Rembrandt, familier des scĂšnes trĂšs obscures.
ENGLISH :
The exact title of the work is unknown. But the title "Night Watch" is an unfounded tradition dating back to the nineteenth century. This painting we had become accustomed to regard as a night scene turned out to be a representation of a group coming out in daylight. It is dirt and aging of the varnish that gave the illusion of the night, which could pass for normal in the work of Rembrandt, familiar to very dark scenes.
Le Taj Mahal est situĂ© Ă ĂgrĂą, au bord de la riviĂšre YamunĂą dans l'Ătat de l'Uttar Pradesh en Inde. C'est un mausolĂ©e de marbre blanc construit par l'empereur moghol ShĂąh JahĂąn en mĂ©moire de son Ă©pouse Arjumand BĂąnu Begam, aussi connue sous le nom de Mumtaz Mahal, qui signifie en persan « la lumiĂšre du palais ».
La construction commence en 1631. Cependant, il demeure une incertitude sur la date exacte de la fin des travaux. Le chroniqueur officiel de Shùh Jahùn, Abdul Hamid Lahori indique que le Taj Mahal est achevé fin 1643 ou début 1644. Mais à l'entrée principale une inscription indique que la construction s'est achevée en 1648.
The Taj Mahal is located in Agra, on the banks of the Yamuna River in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. It is a white marble mausoleum built by the Mughal emperor ShĂąh JahĂąn in memory of his wife Arjumand BĂąnu Begam, also known as Mumtaz Mahal, which means in Persian "the light of the palace".
Construction begins in 1631. However, there remains uncertainty about the exact date of completion of the work. The official chronicler of ShĂąh JahĂąn, Abdul Hamid Lahori indicates that the Taj Mahal was completed in late 1643 or early 1644. But at the main entrance an inscription indicates that construction was completed in 1648.
KODAK AEROGRAPHIC Direct Duplicating Film 2422 was used to make exact copies of aerial surveillance film. It is positive process, orthochromatic and very very slow. I shoot it at EI 3/32 [0.09375] and develop it in Rodinal 1:50 for 13 minutes. Metering is done for EI 3, then that time is multiplied by 32 (5-stops). Exposure times of 16 or 32 seconds are common. I got mine as a 5 inch by 350 foot roll on eBay for $51.40 delivered.
Pretty good stuff I'd say. This scene is something of a highlights and shadows acid test. Between the windows are shadows, and there is detail there. There is also detail in the sunlit scene past the far window.

It took about a month of playing around with this stuff to figure out the speed and developing time for it. Documentation cites no reciprocity effects out to 10 seconds, but I've taken it to 17 minutes with not much degradation - probably would need about a full stop adjustment out there.
