For Junebug64 - this was taken with a 58mm Hoya Infrared filter on the lens, set with the white balance to green. After that it was auto-leveled in photoshop and the red-blue channels swapped, to turn the red light into blue - a much more natural look for the sky. Since the white balance is set to green, the foliage becomes white, and the infrared light makes it 'glow' somewhat.
Erice (Trapani, Sicily)
"E l'altro monte, e l'altro monte ei vede,
l'Erice azzurro, solo tra il mare e il cielo
divinamente apparito, la vetta
annunziatrice della Sicilia bella!"
(La notte di Caprera, Gabriele D'Annunzio)
I tend towards subtlety: the inferred, the implied, the suggested. Guess that's why I am unimpressed with HDR...
An unusual find during my exploration of Venice. A ton of work balancing the light inside: frustrating to know that every screen will present it differently! :(( Have to try though; the muse demands...

The Partition Museum is a public museum located in the Town Hall in Amritsar, India. The museum aims to become the central repository of stories, materials, and documents related to the post-partition riots that followed the division of British India into India and Pakistan. The partition lines, drawn on a map by the British lawyer Cyril Radcliffe, divided the states of Punjab into West Punjab and East Punjab on the basis of religion. As a result, millions of people found themselves on the wrong side of the border overnight. According to various estimates, more than 800,000 Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were killed in the riots that followed the partition between August 1947 to January 1948. Additionally, more than 1,400,000 people became refugees.
The government of Punjab founded this museum with The Arts and Cultural Heritage Trust of the United Kingdom as a way to memorialize those who were affected by the partition.

Another image from Calais earlier in the year and this is a location that I've been wanting to get an image from for many a year. In fact this was the 3rd trip to this spot, so in effect it was thankfully 3rd time lucky.
The conditions were great for this particular image, but unlike my image Numerals, there was a lot of a footprints and other debris on the sand which time quite some time to remove, but got there in the end.

The history of construction the Temple of Divine Providence has more than 200 years and is associated with the Constitution of May 3, 1791, when resolution of the deputies of the Four-Year Sejm decided to build the temple as a vote of gratitude for the Constitution. Originally, however, it was supposed to be the "Temple of the Supreme Providence," a supra-religious place of worship, and the only element adorning it were the signs of the Shining Delta. The cornerstone was laid in the area of today's Botanical Garden of the University of Warsaw near Łazienki Park. However, the Third Partition of Poland interrupted the work undertaken and Poland disappeared from the map of the world for over 120 years.
After regaining independence in 1918, the idea of building on the Mokotów Field was returned, but the outbreak of World War II made it impossible to implement it for the next several decades.
It was only in 1989, after the fall of communism, that the construction of the Temple of Divine Providence was initiated. In 1991, the Constitutional Committee of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, in a resolution adopted on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Constitution of May 3, confirmed the validity of the wedding. On May 2, 1999, the area dedicated to the construction of the temple was solemnly erected and the cross was blessed and on June 13, 1999, Pope John Paul II consecrated the cornerstone for the construction of the temple. On January 30, 2003, the President of Warsaw Lech Kaczyński handed over to Primate Józef Glemp the permission to build the Temple of Divine Providence with accompanying facilities. On February 25, 2003, construction work on the church-votum commenced.

Historia budowy Świątyni Opatrzności Bożej liczy ponad 200 lat i wiąże się z Konstytucją 3 maja z 1791 roku, kiedy to uchwałą posłów Sejmu Czteroletniego podjęta została decyzja o wybudowaniu świątyni jako wotum wdzięczności za Konstytucję. Pierwotnie miała to jednak być "Świątyni Najwyższej Opatrzności", ponad-wyznaniowe miejsce kult, a jedynym zdobiącym ją elementem miały być znaki Delty Świetlistej. Kamień węgielny wmurowano na terenie dzisiejszego Ogrodu Botanicznego UW w pobliżu Łazienek. Jednak III rozbiór Polski przerwał podjęte prace a Polska zniknęła z mapy świat na ponad 120 lat.
Po odzyskaniu niepodległości w 1918 roku powrócono do pomysłu budowy na Polu Mokotowskim, ale Wybuch II wojny światowej uniemożliwił jej realizację przez następnych kilkadziesiąt lat.
Dopiero w 1989 roku, po opadku komunizmu, zainicjowano kontynuację budowy Świątyni Opatrzności Bożej. W 1991 roku Komisja Konstytucyjna Senatu RP w uchwale powziętej z okazji 200-lecia Konstytucji 3 Maja stwierdziła aktualność ślubu. 2 maja 1999 roku na terenie przeznaczonym pod budowę świątyni uroczyście posadowiono i pobłogosławiono krzyż a 13 czerwca 1999 roku, Papież Jan Paweł II poświęcił kamień węgielny pod budowę świątyni. W styczniu 2003 roku prezydent Warszawy Lech Kaczyński przekazał prymasowi Józefowi Glempowi pozwolenie na budowę Świątyni Opatrzności Bożej a już 25 lutego 2003 roku rozpoczęły się prace budowlane nad kościołem-wotum.
Obecnie trwają prace nad upiększeniem budowli i uporządkowaniem terenu wokół świątyni.
