I liked my basic composition, but everything else about this picture failed. So just for the fun of it, I decided to see what I could do with excessive post-processing, Pretty good outcome (as long as you don't look too closely - definitely not enlargement material!).

One of the most majestic temple that I have seen since I am traveling. Shore temple,Actually on the coast of Bay Of Bengal.
We leave Victor Harbor to-morrow for the western shores of the Fleurieu Peninsula:

Horseshoe Bay was proclaimed a port in 1851, and the settlement above the bay was named Port Elliot in 1852 after Charles Elliot, the Governor of Bermuda who was a friend of the then Governor of South Australia, Sir Henry Young. The port was established to provide a safe seaport for the Murray river trade which terminated at Goolwa as the Murray Mouth was deemed too treacherous and unpredictable for safe navigation. Goods and passengers were carried between Goolwa and Port Elliot on the first public railway in Australia completed in 1854.[3] The Government Works to establish the port included Australia's first reticulated water supply, from wells at Waterport (about 1 km north of the bay) to tanks above the jetty which provided fresh water for ships as well as for the town. In 1864 after a number of disastrous shipping losses in Horseshoe Bay the railway was extended to Victor Harbor which provided safer access for ships. Port Elliot's role as a port ended, with the bay and jetty being left to the fishermen and beachgoers. The importance of the rail link between the river and the sea soon also ended with the building of a railway between Adelaide and Morgan which enabled river traffic to offload freight and passengers over 160 miles further upstream and rail them directly to Adelaide. The towns of the southern Fleurieu coast - Victor Harbor, Port Elliot, Middleton and Goolwa - were spared any further commercial or industrial development, and became a popular holiday destination with many guest houses, camping parks and 'weekender' houses and shacks. The nearby early subdivisions of Waterport, Louisville, Findon, Ville St.Louis and Elliot Town are now all considered part of Port Elliot

Having posted a vert shot of this place the other day, I had a search for one of the landscape versions of this place too. I found this one which I shot using a polariser and 3 stop ND grad plus a 0.6 soft grad. That was enough to hold back the exposure and give a dreamy and slightly timeless feel to this awesome place. The last light on those teethy mountains really was something to behold.
I still have loads of shots to share from this location and many more from the trip. Thanks for looking.
P.s. I am currently selling an 11 ink HP Designjet Z3200 ps Large Format printer. (up to 8m long prints at 44" width!) It is virtually new and unused. It is not actually mine unfortunately :( Please mail me for more info.

Montague Island on the horizon, is around 10kms east of Narooma, and is home to Australian Fur Seals, and Fairy Penguins (Little Penguins),which are the world's smallest type of penguin. The island is a wildlife sanctuary and may be visited by charter.
Solaris es un planeta enteramente cubierto por un océano de color negro con reflejos rojizos. En sus aguas no nadan peces ni ninguna criatura, pero el océano no está muerto: toda la masa líquida compone un colosal y único ser vivo. La humanidad lleva siglos intentando establecer el contacto, comunicarse con la primera inteligencia que encontramos. Estamos ante un ser exclusivo, con una duración vital que excede ciclos completos de la raza humana y que manifiesta su inteligencia en un lenguaje que nos es imposible comprender ya que él es su único hablante.
Durante algún tiempo prevaleció la opinión de que el “océano pensante” de Solaris era un cerebro gigantesco, prodigiosamente desarrollado, que le llevaba varios siglos de ventaja a nuestra propia civilización; una especie de “yogui cósmico”, un sabio, una manifestación de la omnisciencia, que mucho tiempo atrás había comprendido la vanidad de toda actividad, y que por esta razón se encerraba desde entonces en un silencio inquebrantable. La visión era errónea, pues el océano viviente actuaba; no, claro está, de acuerdo con las nociones de los hombres; no edificaba ciudades ni puentes, no construía máquinas volantes; no intentaba abolir las distancias ni se preocupaba por la conquista del espacio (criterio decisivo, según algunos, de la superioridad incontestable del hombre). El océano se entregaba a transformaciones innumerables, a una “autometamorfosis ontológica”. (¡La jerga especializada no falta en la descripción de las actividades solaristas!) Por otra parte, todo hombre de ciencia que se dedique al estudio de la Solarística tiene la indeleble impresión de percibir los fragmentos de una construcción inteligente, genial acaso, mezclados sin orden con producciones absurdas, aparentemente engendradas por el delirio. Así nació, en oposición a la concepción “océano-yogui”, la idea del “océano-autista”.”
Solaris es un planeta, un océano y un ser vivo. El océano nos lanza vívidas alucinaciones corpóreas de personas que perdimos. Hurga en nuestra mente y nos suelta eso pero... ¿por qué? ¿Quiere comunicarse? ¿O es tan solo un epifénomeno de los incontables procesos simultáneos que construye el océano pensante en cada instante de su eternidad?
Intentamos comprender Solaris, pero lo más parecido que podemos imaginar es la noción de un dios omnipresente pero no omnisciente, que puede modificar la métrica espacio-tiempo a su antojo, pero ignora completamente las consecuencias de sus actos.
Un libro que todo investigador debería leer.
There is a storm shouting in me ,
a violent storm smashing everything in me,
but on the contrary of Mother Nature
it leaves my soul on the ground devastated
without a stunning wild and sweet sunrise like this...
C'è una tempesta che urla in me,
una violenta tempesta che spacca tutto in me,
ma al contrario di Madre Natura
lascia la mia anima per terra devastata
senza un'incredibile selvaggia e dolce alba come questa ....
this shot is dedicated to a "stranger" friend Arik

While the main goal was to shoot the freight in the street I must admit I really do like shooting be electric mu trains too.
The Chicago, South Shore and South Bend Railroad is considered the last interurban railroad in America and it's right of way clearly belies that fact despite modernization over the years.
For me the big draw has always the nearly two miles of street running through downtown Michigan City. The railroad snakes down 11th street for 1.1 miles then jogs across Amtrak's Michigan Line (ex NYC new Michigan Central) before another 0.6 miles or so of street running down 10th street before regaining a private right of way for a fast race west thru the Indiana dune country.
Like much of the midwest Michigan City has a good variety of rail action though nowhere near what it once was. In addition to the CSSB and Amtrak (which sees a tiny bit of NS action) CSXT's main to Grand Rapids (ex Pere Marquette) that also hosts a pair of Amtrak trains, cuts through the city. In days of old the Monon and Nickel Plate also came to town though the Monon is long gone and the NKP has been cut and a good portion of it is now a branch operated by the CSSB.
Anyway, a bit of history of the famed South Shore:
The South Shore began in 1901 as the Chicago and Indiana Air Line Railway, a streetcar route between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. Reorganized as the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Railway in 1904, by 1908 its route had reached South Bend, Indiana via Michigan City, Indiana. The company leased the Kensington and Eastern Railroad, an Illinois Central Railroad subsidiary, to gain access to Chicago. Passenger service between South Bend and Chicago began in 1909. The Lake Shore added freight service in 1916.
Samuel Insull, the Chicago utility magnate, acquired the bankrupt Lake Shore in 1925 and reorganized it as the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad, which it remains today. The railroad experienced two more bankruptcies, in 1933 and 1938. Despite having become unprofitsble again in the post WWII period, in 1967 the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) purchased the road to gain direct access to then new Bethlehem Steel plant at Burns Harbor (which still today as an Arcelor Mittal plant is still the CSSB's largest customer). Under C&O ownership electric freight operations ended and the famed 800s (Little Joes in Milwaukee Road parlance) were retired. In 1981 10 GP38-2s were bought new and they have been stalwarts ever since.
In 1977 the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) began subsidizing the passenger operations on the South Shore Line and in 1984 the Venango River Corporation (VRC) purchased the South Shore from the Chessie Sysem. Venango declared bankruptcy in 1989 due largely to problems with its much larger Chicago Missouri and Western property. In 1990 the Anacostia and Pacific Company stepped in and purchased the South Shore, while at the same time NICTD purchased the passenger assets. The two operations are entirely separate businesses but closely integrated, and NICTD continues to use the familiar South Shore branding for its passenger operations.

But these iconic scenes aren't going to be around for long. A massive nearly half billion dollar project to double track the line all the way to Michigan City in order to shave 30 or more minutes off transit times and allow greater train frequencies is supposed to start construction soon (though the Covid-19 situation may push back the dates). This will lamentably lead to the end of street running and the removal of nearly all the homes and structures on the south side of 11 th street. To learn more check out the project web site and the detailed PPT presentation on the project: www.doubletrack-nwi.com/images/DT_PRS_DTVirtualOpenHouse_...
But change is the only constant in life, and the CSSB has been modernizing and rebuilding since the Insull era. In fact in 1956 the long section of street running in East Chicago was bypassed and in 1970 the street running into downtown South Bend was abandoned...so I suppose this is just a continuation of what has come before.
Anyway, I do think this will not be my only visit before this trackage disappears because there just isn't quite anything like it.
As for this shot, here is wesbound NICTD train 606 with a consist of Nippon-Sharyo built electric multiple unit cars. Trailing #10 is a double ended car built in 1982 and was one of the cars that replaced the old Pullman and Standard Steel cars dating from the 1920s.
The train is departing the Michigan City 11th Street station near MP 33.9. The historic station with its ornate facade was built in 1927 and closed to passengers in 1987. It has been vacant since with trains stopping at a bus stop style shelter adjacent to it. It was sold to the city in 2007 and has an uncertain future with the coming changes.

The Shore Temple (built in 700–728 AD) is so named because it overlooks the shore of the Bay of Bengal. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of granite, dating from the 8th century AD. It was built on a promontory sticking out into the Bay of Bengal at Mahabalipuram, a village south of Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. At the time of its creation, the village was a busy port during the reign of Narasimhavarman II of the Pallava dynasty.As one of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, it has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It is one of the oldest structural (versus rock-cut) stone temples of South India.
A favorite north shore location. This year all the paths down to the ocean were so overgrown it was hard to find the right ones. Walking along the rocks at the shoreline is doable but not much fun.
