San Diego, California.
When the sun is setting and there is no marine layer to obstruct it, the light from the setting sun illuminates the highrise buildings in downtown San Diego. The reflecting warm colors of the setting sun contrast nicely with the blue hues of the sky and water.
This is another older photo that I reprocessed in Lightroom 4.4 and CS 6. This image was taken with my second DSLR - Nikon D200.
Press L and see it on black background.

The first organ is inaugurated on March 7, 1850 by Damis Paul, organist at Montreal's cathedral. The instrument had been partially installed in 1848 for Bishop Guigues' consecration. Joseph Casavant built an 18-stop instrument (1,063 pipes) and placed it in a case that was later sculpted by Flavien Rochon in 1871. The instrument was restored by organbuilder Louis Mitchell a few years later. Casavant’s sons completely reconstructed the organ in 1892. At that time, it is a 52-stop instrument over 3 manuals and pedal. The instrument used an electro-pneumatic action which represented a new summit for the Casavant firm. The main section of the organ is located in the rear gallery while a second organ, a 17-stop choir organ over 3 manuals and pedal, is located in a gallery over the sanctuary. Both organs are played from the console located in the rear gallery.
This instrument is one of the three outstanding instruments in the history of the Casavant firm, the others being the one in Notre Dame Basilica in Montréal (1890) and the one in St. Hyacinthe Cathedral (1885).
Originally the console was attached to the left organ case. From the very beginning, the organ case is divided into two sections in order to free the magnificent stained-glass window. New stops were added in 1917. A second console, more modern, was installed in 1940 when a major rebuilt was undertaken and, in 1975, a revision of the electric action was carried out.
In 1999, Guilbault-Thérien carried out a major renovation, replacing the second console, and adding 7 more stops in order to achieve a better balance amongst the divisions while respecting the symphonic aesthetics of the instrument. The chancel organ still retains its original composition and voicing.
Composer Amédée Tremblay notably served as the church's organist from 1894-1920.
The present titular organist is Jennifer Loveless.
One of my favourite photos from 2010 was taken from a simple point and shoot. For this reason i wanted to get the same shot by with a better camera, longer exposure and sharper details. I feel it was a good result.

A marae (in New Zealand Māori, Cook Islands Māori, Tahitian) malaʻe (in Tongan), malae (in Samoan) and mālaʻe (in Hawaiian) is a communal or sacred place that serves religious and social purposes in Polynesian societies.
The marae (meeting grounds) is the focal point of Māori communities throughout New Zealand.
A marae is a fenced-in complex of carved buildings and grounds that belongs to a particular iwi (tribe), hapū (sub tribe) or whānau (family). Māori people see their marae as tūrangawaewae - their place to stand and belong. Marae are used for meetings, celebrations, funerals, educational workshops and other important tribal events.
A marae incorporates a carved meeting house (wharenui) with an open space in front (marae ātea), a dining hall and cooking area, and a toilet and shower block.

This trip gave me the chance to see parts of the nations capitol that i have not yet seen. Our hotel was just a few blocks from the Capitol Building and the Congressional Library. We did a tour of the one and a self guided tour of the other.
The night before, we met my youngest daughter for dinner with her boyfriend, and his parents (who i have never met before). They live if Manassas and my daughter complains that i never visit her...because she has no kids to babysit for....just dogs!!! I chose a place for dinner on the recommendation of the concierge at the hotel, and used the GPS in my husbands phone to navigate the walk to it. The GPS took us a block too far, and corrected itself to make us take a right in the direction that we had just come from. i was puzzled, as this seemed to be walking in circles to get to the restaurant. When we turned the corner, there were a couple standing at the corner of the overpass, casually leaning on it.... and maybe 10-15 feet further up was a person....a young girl in her 20’s maybe...standing ON the overpass with one foot behind the railing and one foot in front of it................staring at the cars flying by on Route 395 below. straight down....staring and not flinching. i stopped dead in my tracks, my eyes wide as saucers, and quietly said “THIS looks not good at all”. My husband asked the couple that was there what was going on....they shrugged and just brushed it off as nothing. i was simply paralyzed. i could not walk past and NOT try to help. My husband said “Excuse me” a few times as we got closer and she did not budge....just stared at the passing cars below. Finally she turned her head to look at us. He asked if she was ok...her eyes stared back at us. empty and devoid of life....i have never seen eyes that looked like that. Absolutely no expression at all. i wanted to cry. she simply turned her head and began to stare at the traffic below again. i began to feel panic and started to trot to the corner to stop a police car or find someone to help us. My husband began dialing 911 as he tried talking to her, telling her to come down and we would try to help her. As i approached the corner, miraculously a patrol car rolled up to the light...i ran to it and when he saw me coming to tap his window he rolled it down to help me. I told him there was a girl poised on the bridge as tho to jump. his response was “You are shi^^ing me!” I was too afraid to even laugh!! i showed him where she was and told him to PLEASE HURRY.
A few people also out walking had strolled by and never stopped to help....but when they got to me they asked if i had spoken to the police....they said someone was talking to her trying to convince her to come down....i told her i knew that...and yes i had gotten the police to go there. We turned in time to see the police officer approach her quietly and say something and at just the right moment, grab her and take her to the sidewalk. i was never so relieved in my whole life. Within 3 minutes there were at least 5 other officers, in police cars, several on foot and on segways or bikes there to assist....oh...and a fire engine!!! we were detained to give a statement.
It has bothered me so much that i did not ask to speak to her as she sat on the ground....those eyes, so vacant have haunted me since then, and i regret not sitting on the sidewalk and just telling her that she was a valuable person with so much to live for, if she would just begin to believe that. She needed something to cling to....i feel like she needed just a tiny speck of kindness and hope. i still feel a twinge in my heart that i could have done more.... i have said a prayer that she will get help...and that the fact that i stopped to try to help might make her see that SOMEONE thought she was valuable enough to do that.
I honestly believe that there is no such thing as coincidence and that this glitch in the GPS was meant to happen....a God Wink, if you will. i hope that i passed the test....altho i still so wish i had asked to speak to her for just a moment. Just in case i could have put a spark back into her eyes.
