A Sefer Torah, a powerful symbol and moving presence in Jewish worship and community life, was presented to VCU Libraries by an alumni couple with deep connections to the university, it will be held and safeguarded by the VCU Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives. The Torah survived the Holocaust.
Donors Martin L. Johnson, MD, and Olinda Young, have ties to both MCV and Monroe Park campuses. Johnson did his residency (house staff, plastic surgery, 1980) at MCV, and Young holds dual degrees, a bachelor’s of science in education (1975) and a master’s in public administration (1981).
The Sefer Torah scroll, on parchment scribed in the customary Hebrew, was composed in Romania around 1750. During World War II, it was confiscated by the Nazis. It is believed to be from an area of Transnistria, known as the Romanian Auschwitz. Registration numbers and stamps confirm its provenance and also that the scroll was held by the Communists. It was repatriated to Israel in 2003. Israeli authorities released the scroll for private ownership. It is considered to be in excellent condition, according to the rare books and manuscripts appraiser who authenticated the artifact.

Infrared is a tricky game. Especially when it's cloudy outside. And rainy.
I recently had one of my cameras converted full time to infrared.
I had a 590nm Filter installed by Kolari Vision.
I did some minimal post-processing, channel swapping and fiddling a little with the hue/saturation.
Seriously... there is no more fun way to immediately void the warranty on your camera. ;-)

Richmond claims the first electric street car system in the world, running from 1888 until 1948. Now the Greater Richmond Transit Company is building a Bus Rapid Transit system called Pulse over some of those same trolley car streets. The BRT route will run 7.6 miles, from Rockett's Landing in the east to Willow Lawn shopping center in the west. Pictured here is the Virginia Commonwealth University/Virginia Union University station. This station and several others will not be curbside, but are located in the middle of the street.
Virginia Commonwealth University is an urban university in the heart of Richmond, Virginia. There are about 34,000 part time and full time students.

Happy go-lucky VCU students
I apologize for the contrast ... I had changed positions and was no longer shooting into the sun, so I over-compensated for shadows.

Original Description (from Book): c. 1850 altered c. 1890. This was built as the Clay Street AME Church by Albert West, a notable Richmond architect. It was originally Italianate in style. It was later given a fashionable Gothic front. The loss of its steeple and the blue and white window panels have compromised its appearance, but it remains a major local landmark.
