I decided to change up the location of the lighting and shot tonight. Not sure if I like the busier background, but at least you are able to see the pretty, colorful menorah.
Oh, and I did my first menorah HDR!

I played a bit of Frogger on Sixth Avenue to get some long exposure shots looking south toward the Jefferson Market Public Library and further to World Trade Center. I had enough time between lights to get one or two shots before heading back to safety. I think I'll try this perspective for the Tribute lights next year.

Su Nuraxi is a nuragic archaeological site in Barumini, Sardinia, Italy. It was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997 as Su Nuraxi di Barumini.
Su Nuraxi simply means "The Nuraghe" in Campidanese, the southern variant of the Sardinian language.
Su Nuraxi is a settlement consisting of a seventeenth century BCE Nuraghe, a bastion of four corner towers plus a central one, and a village inhabited from the thirteenth to the sixth century BCE, developed around the Nuraghe. They are considered by scholars the most impressive expression of the Nuragic civilization and were included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
Structure
The main tower and the inner courtyard
The Nuraghe and its countryside in summer
The oldest part of the Nuraghe consists of a central tower with three superposed chambers (18.6m high), was built in blocks of basalt between the seventeenth and thirteenth centuries BCE. Later, during the Late Bronze Age, four towers joined by a curtain wall with an upper balcony (no longer extant) were built around the central tower, all communicating with an inner courtyard served by a well. During the Iron Age, the complex was surrounded by a heptalobate curtain wall.
Function
The real function of the nuraghe is still debated. The discoverer of Su Nuraxi, the archaeologist Giovanni Lilliu, confirmed the traditional interpretation of fortress-site. Other archaeologists believe that the oldest part of the dolmen was destined for a religious purpose, refuge, civil or even parliament or registered the village chief, while the towers were added perhaps intended for military purposes and stock.
The village
A village, intended to accommodate the surrounding population, was built around the Nuraghe in the Late Bronze Age. The village consisted of about fifty huts, and was built on a circular plan with large boulders covered with dry stone walls and conical roofs made of wood and branches. Though the huts were structured in a single unit in more remote periods, there was a later, more prevalent tendency to subdivide housing into individual units. Of the huts found, the most significant appear to have been reserved for meetings of the local leaders. These huts were larger and more complex in structure, and the hut reserved for the inhabitants' meetings contained symbols of the deities worshiped by locals. Other rooms have been identified as workshops, kitchens, and agricultural processing centres.
During the sixth century BCE, the buildings were destroyed and subsequently restored by Carthage before being occupied by the Romans. They were eventually completely abandoned.
The nuraghe and the village were strategically connected to the system of other Nuraghes, such as the polylobate nuraghe found beneath the fifteenth-century Palazzo Zapata in the village of Barumini.
Archaeological excavations[edit]
The archaeological site was fully excavated between 1950 and 1957 under the direction of Giovanni Lilliu, a local expert. The excavations allowed archaeologists to retrace the different stages of the construction of the towers and surrounding village, confirming that the entire complex was a vibrant, vital centre up to the first century BCE, during the Roman period.
Excavations brought to light important remains in the form of tools, weapons, pottery, and ornaments.
This site is essential to an understanding of the timeline of Sardinian civilization: "The relative chronology of Sardinian prehistory is largely based on the first modern excavation of a 'nuraghe' at Su Nuraxi, Barumini. Giovanni Lilliu […] used a combination of structural phases and pottery typology to construct a general Nuragic sequence."
There is another important nuragic site at nearby Casa Zapata, the important finds of which are on display at the site's museum.

Toyota Celica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Toyota Celica /ˈsɛlɨkə/ is a sport compact car which was produced by the Japanese company Toyota from 1970 to 2006. The Celica name was ultimately derived from the Latin word coelica meaning "heavenly" or "celestial". In Japan, the Celica was exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships Toyota Corolla Store.
Throughout its life span the Celica has been powered by various four-cylinder engines.
The most significant change occurred in August 1985, when the car's drive layout was changed from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive. During the first three generations, American market Celicas were powered by various versions of Toyota's R series engines. The four-wheel drive turbocharged model called GT-Four worldwide (All-Trac Turbo in the US) was produced from 1986 to 1999.
Variable Valve Timing came in certain Japanese models starting in December 1997, and became standard in all models from 2000-on. Through seven generations, the model has gone through many revisions and design forks, including the Toyota Celica Supra (later known as the Toyota Supra). The Celica was available as notchback and liftback coupes, as well as a convertible."
- First generation / A20 & A35 Series (1970–1977)
- Second generation / A40 & A50 Series (1977–1981)
- Third generation / A60 Series (1981–1985)
- Fourth generation / T160 Series (1985–1989)
- Fifth generation / T180 Series (1989–1993)
- Sixth generation / T200 Series (1993–1999)
- Seventh generation / T230 series (1999–2006)
"In late 1999, Toyota began production and sales of the seventh-generation Celica. It closely resembled the XYR concept with the exception of the front bumper and rear spoiler, while omitting the previously available coupe bodystyle.
The 2000 model year Celica was an element of Toyota Project Genesis, an effort to bring younger buyers to the marque in the United States. Toyota took time to lighten the car and lower cost wherever possible. Power window and door lock controls were placed in the center console so only 1 set was necessary for both doors. Initial sunroofs were made of polymer plastic instead of the traditional glass. This generation was assembled by Kanto Auto Works at its Higashi-Fuji plant in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
The Celica came in two different models. The ZZT230 was powered by a relatively economical 1.8 L 4-cylinder 140 hp (104 kW) 1ZZ-FE engine and the ZZT231 powered by a higher-performance 1.8 L 4-cylinder 192 hp (143 kW) (in Europe and Japan) 2ZZ-GE version, co-developed with Yamaha, the latter featuring a two-step variable valve lift control in conjunction with its variable valve timing.
In 2004, CNNMoney.com rated the Celica as one of the best cars to purchase for fuel economy.
Exporting of the Celica ceased in July 2005. However until mid-May, customers could still order one, although it was advised they took action before that time ended.
The last Celica was rolled off production line on April 21, 2006. In its last year, the Celica was only officially sold in Japan."

This is from another photo adventure with Ward. Here's a picture he got of me as I was taking this picture. The blur around the lights was BUGS!!! The air was thick with them on this night.
This is three one-second exposures blended together to get more "ghosts" on the bridge. I did a wannabe HDR style by doing one over and one underexposed. I've been sitting on this for a while, because it took me a while to get the editing right. Hopefully the results are okay.
This is the sixth photo in the week's theme of Freemasonry. This shot is looking at the main entrance on the north side of the Salt Lake Masonic Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. The title, "Enter from the Dark Side," will have instant recognition of the meaning by Master Masons around the world. My departed friend and Masonic Brother, WB John Hooker, learned what it meant over sixty five years ago when he was initiated an Entered Apprentice in my lodge. For the rest, well, I'll leave you to do your own research.
The doors on the temple have been recently refurbished and restored to the condition they were when the edifice was constructed in 1926. I think the Masonic Temple Association did a stunning job on the reconstruction.
I am told that many Egyptian structures were built in honor of the Egyptian God Horus known as the God of Life or of Light. Here, he is depicted as the the double-headed feathered serpent and solar disc above the doorway. The use of an Egyptian design allows the inclusion of Masonic symbolism in and around the building that fits in well with the Egyptian symbols found nearly everywhere.
Tomorrow, we will close this theme out with a special description of the West Gate and its meaning to departing Master Masons, especially, the last usage of this gate by my departed friend.
References:
As usual with this theme, I will not provide references for those wishing to search for more light on the subject. If you do your own search, I caution you not to believe everything you see, hear, or read -- unless, of course, it is from me.
Process:
Nikon D200, tripod, no flash, f/8, 70mm, ISO 100, 1/6sec, 5 exposures @ 1 stop each, HDR in Photomatix Pro 32, minor adjustments in Adobe Photoshop Elements. In this case, the secret stuff was left out in the open for all to see.
