An old Pano-Sabotage piece from a series I did in 2014. After 4 years of Pano I've built up a huge repository of unused shots. Most aren't worth "a tinkers cuss" in truth, that's why they never saw the light of day. Yet, there are a few gems in there that I thought would be good to dust off and present to the world. This is one of them.
Pano-Sabotage processed in "FX Photo Studio PRO".

I am VERY proud to announce that I was chosen to be the feature artist of the "Kreative People" Group's Spring Gallery - Running until the end of June. I really must thank both abstractartangel77 and Xandram for bestowing me with this great honour. The link to the gallery appears below:

I found this old framed photo in a junk shop in the Brecon Beacons. I had no clue as to where or when it was taken, but John Wilson soon solved the mystery! On the back it says it was framed by Fred Loversidge, at the Werneth Art Repository, Oldham. About 100 years old, I think. Wish I'd taken this shot.
The artist could be considered the emblem of the pictorial skill accumulated during the 17th century by the best Neapolitan workshops and also an example of virtuosity. His creations are impressive because of their compositional boldness, effective use of light and dramatic intensity. Here Solimena uses his wide range of resources for a narrative in which the harshness of God's punishment of the sinners contrasts with His mercy towards the repentant.

At the heart of the Cotehele Estate near Calstock in Cornwall is this wonderful medieval house. Now owned by the National Trust, the early 14th century house was substantially extended by Sir Richard Edgcumbe from 1485-89 and his son, Sir Piers Edgcumbe, from 1489-1520. This house is one of the least altered of the Tudor houses in the United Kingdom. Unoccupied for the past two centuries, it has served as a repository for unwanted tapestries and furniture. The Great Hall (pictured), with its collection of weapons and armour, serves as the entrance to the inside of the main house.

One of two 'libraries' situated inside the outer wall of Angkor Wat. Although they are called libraries, they are more likely to have been some kind of religious shrine rather than manuscript/document repositories.

A lot of dilapidated country barns hold one man's junk and another man's treasure as evidenced by this failing structure that serves as a parking spot for an old pickup and a cream separator and if you dared to venture further there is probably more items inside. Older people hold memories of how things were in the past and the wise younger person quietly draws them out.

"The Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in France, 48 acres in extent, is sited on a plateau 100 feet above the Moselle River in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. It contains the graves of 5,254 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the campaigns across northeastern France to the Rhine River and beyond into Germany. The cemetery was established in October 1944 by the 46th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company of the U.S. Seventh Army as it drove northward from southern France through the Rhone Valley into Germany. The cemetery became the repository for the fatalities in the bitter fighting through the Saverne Gap, and in defense of Allied positions in the Vosges region, during the winter of 1944-1945."

There are containers similar to this one dotted all over the country and this is where all your used Thoughts and forgotten Memories go when they leave your consciousness. They peel away from you and quickly find their way to one of these repositories, where they wait a while just-in-case you might need them again soon.
After a suitable amount of time, all of the Memories are separated out, labelled and sent to a nearby underground storage bunker, while the Thoughts are piped to smaller, porous containers where they are allowed to dissipate naturally into the aether. When appropriate, the stored Memories of the recently deceased are processed and released to join the Thoughts in said fifth element.

One of the notable landmarks in Washington DC is the Library of Congress, which is a vast repository of books and resources. The library is a great place for reading and research, with its impressive architecture and iconic dome.

The Lan Chang Styled Scripture Repository and Wihan...
The northeastern community, established since the early Buddhist era, has created its own unique artistic style that is different from other types of indigenous architecture. The art became known as the art of Lan Chang.
Muang Boran has constructed this particular scripture repository and wihan in Lan Chang style in order to demonstrate the unique artistic features of Lan Chang art. The extraordinary architectural style and design of the buildings are worth studying. The local architecture is ordinarily made of wood, the material often used by northeastern craftsmen. These architectures can hardly be seen today.

Fairchild Garden is a repository for endangered plants from Madagascar. Without the garden's help, these extraordinary beauties would disappear from the Earth.
To meet the needs of these strange spiny visitors, Fairchild gardeners have modified the soil and mounded up tons of small stones to enhance drainage here in the tropics where we get many times more rain than in their native land.
Euphorbia viguieri grows in a single column form covered with medium-sized thorns that are thick at the base and get finer toward the end. They are white and sometimes serrated, making this one of the most dangerous-looking Euphorbias. The column is broader toward the top and may spiral slightly as it grows. The body is five to six sided and may have leaf scars from previous seasons' foliage. It can grow nearly 3 feet tall.
The tubular flowers are spectacular sunset colors in hues of orange, yellow and scarlet. Blooms are produced after a rainy period and are small flowers, measuring less than 1 inch. The flowers do not last long but do attract several pollinating insects with their sweet nectar. Euphorbia viguieri doesn't produce branches, so the flowers spring right from the body of the plant. The flowers open when the heat of the day is over or first thing in the morning and then close when the sun is at its peak.
Euphorbia viguieri goes dormant in the winter and loses its leaves. It will produce a new set in late spring and flower in summer. Many Euphorbia species only have spines and no leaves, but E. viguieri produces both. The leaves are lightly veined and simple, oval in shape and a lighter green than the body. The leaves can grow from 1 to 7 inches long. Extreme drought will also cause the plant to lose its leaves as a protective measure to prevent moisture loss.
Euphorbia viguieri thrives in nutrient-poor areas and is one of the few Euphorbia that may be found in mountainous regions where it tolerates excesses of water. It is also found in scrubland and open woodlands in western to southern Madagascar. The plant does best in an unglazed clay container as a house plant or can be part of a xeriscape garden.

Glossy dragon in Pisa
This uses one of Paul Debevec's new high-res envirnonment maps (recently uploaded to his website) for lighting.
The glossiness is near the upper limit of what is usable with my renderer before noise due to lack of importance sampling becomes too obvious.
Note that the color of the dragon is actually a neutral grey, but there's a very warm orange light coming from behind!
