Another kick at the can - trying my hand at some fine art work. There is always an opportunity to learn.
Walking through a battlefield where young men have died is a very sobering journey. The old fence has probably been repaired many times over the years, but it still follows the historical information. “Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, located near Republic, Missouri, preserves the site of the Battle of Wilson's Creek. Fought on August 10, 1861, the battle was the first major American Civil War engagement west of the Mississippi River.” Wikipedia
All prepared, the costaleros take a breath and wait for the order of the foreman to draw one more year to Mary Most Holy of Peace ...

Description: Another shot from a series I took from a boat on the lakes of Friesland, the Netherlands. Eernewoude is one of my favorite places in the Northern provinces. To photograph tranquil nature reservoirs, you really need a boat to get there.
Technique: PS color toning with a couple of Selective Color and Hue/Saturation layers, selective contrast adjustments with a custom Curve. A 1.5 grain has been added as well as some painted textures and a vignette within the vignette section of PS's native Lens Correction plug-in.

15002, an Airbus A310-304 CC-150 Polaris, on approach to runway 05 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as CFC3187 (Royal Canadian Air Force) from Canadian Forces Base Trenton in Quinte West, Ontario. It was carrying the remains of Abbigail Cowbrough, a 23-year-old member of the military, who was killed in the crash of an R.C.A.F. Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone on April 29, 2020. It went down in the Ionian Sea, about 220 nautical miles east of Catania, Italy. All six aboard perished.
The courtyard of the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge has beautiful stone archways and corridors. Dedications to veterans, mothers, patriots and heroes are all around this property, creating a solemn atmosphere. On that cold rainy day, the few visitors present were quiet as they explored the grounds.
