Looking straight up at the dome of the lobby rotunda.
King Hassan II had promised Casablanca the mausoleum for his father, Mohammed V, who died in 1961. However, he was forced to walk back that promise and keep the mausoleum with the rest of the family’s in Rabat. Instead, he gave Casablanca this magnificent mosque to attract pilgrimage and tourism (it is the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims). The building holds 25,000 worshippers; the open-air plaza can accommodate another 80,000. It was begun in 1986 and completed in 1993, employing 10,000 construction and craft workers. Much of the cost (estimated at up to $700 million) was raised from 12 million donors by public subscription. Major structural remediation of the foundation, which had suffered from exposure to salt water on this wave-washed promontory, was undertaken beginning in 2005. The design is by the French architect Michel Pinseau, with almost all of the materials sourced from within Morocco.

There's been plenty of discussion on how to mount this combination. This is how I'm doing it and it works perfectly and easily. Parts used:
- Manfrotto 026 swivel umbrella adaptor
- Stroboframe universal shoe mount:
- Giottos mini ball head MH1004:
The trick is to setup the mini ballhead at a 90 degree angle and the flash head on the 580EX II to 180 degrees. This way, the flash head points directly into the back of the Softlighter II. This picture shows the setup before the umbrella shaft is pulled all the way down (the sock encloses the setup up to the base of the Stroboframe cold shoe). Once done, the umbrella shaft can be removed.
A German Tiger II tank, also known as the King Tiger or Royal Tiger tank, of World War 2. This massive tank was first encountered by the allies in Normandy in 1944, this example was discovered in Germany at the end of the war and was shipped to England for evaluation.

Light Painting at Texas Stonehenge II in Ingram, Texas with a great bunch of Light Painters from across Texas! Those in attendance were myself, Greg (Spectral Convergence), Jake (Digicord), Andy (Pixelated~Light), Andrew (StandUPP), Eric (Ecirc Dufeau), Eric's wife, and Ryan (a coworker of Andy's).
A special thanks to the Hill Country Arts Foundation for their help and hospitality during our visit! These super nice folks have been working to save a great south Texas roadside icon and have moved the site from its original location near Hunt, Texas just down the road to Ingram.

Today has been a mix of fortunes, getting up for 7am on a Saturday for out of hours work is never the best start, when your ISP stops functioning shortly afterwards, it could be considered all down hill from there.
After that was out of the way I popped into town with a roll of film from the CX-2 that needed finishing/developing to see if it worked, things started looking up when I collected it, the camera is actually working *faints*
While wandering the streets for an hour killing time I did the usual crawl of charity shops. I did promise myself I'd not get another camera after the OM-1, however, this little puppy was begging to be taken home, the quartz date back sealed the deal! Fully working, with battery and film, £4, including an Olympus leather case.
Like the Lada XRay of a couple of days ago, the Dacia Duster is a modern Crossover vehicle (CUV) from the ever-expanding Renault-Nissan group.
Whereas Lada (via parent AutoVAZ) has only recently come into the Renault-Nissan fold, after being associated with GM-Daewoo, Dacia has a much more extensive history tied to Renault going back nearly 50 years to an agreement to licence-build the Renault R12 in Romania from 1969.
The Duster II, shown here is a 2018 update to the original Duster CUV model launched in 2009. The Duster II uses the same Dacia B0 platform, shared with some other Dacia models, and which is a modified, long wheelbase version of the Renault-Nissan B-Platform, doing service under many B/C-segment vehicles including the Nissan Juke and Versa, Renault Clio and Captur, as well as the Lada XRay, The platform is saleable in both length and width, allowing it cover a significant cross section of the small-car market. The platform (along with the Duster) is built in many regions including Romania, Russia, India, Columbia, Brazil and Indonesia.
I nearly hurt myself racing onto the balcony to get this shot; it was one of those sunsets where, for an instant, it's the most glorious thing you've ever seen, like something out of a dream or fantasy - and then it's gone, back to normal again, every hint of magic and something higher whisked away. I managed several snaps, and each one after these two looks a little less fantastic.
It was worth nearly ruining the screen (and my face). :)
(Also, does anyone else hear the "Gone With the Wind" theme when they look at this? Or is it just me?)
