Location: Ter Apel - at the Bosbeek - the Netherlands.
Exposure: 3 brackets of -2 Ev, +/-0 Ev and +2 Ev at f/8, mounted on a Manfrotto 190.
Description: During the grubbing of the so-called "Bourtangermoor" - in the Northern provinces Groningen and Drenthe - the whole old peat-mouth scheme was nearly replaced by straight canals. At the end of the previous century the convalescence of several old peat-flows - such as the Runde and the Ruiten Aa - started to develop.
This picture was taken at the Bosbeek (forest-branch), which has been dug in 2000. This new piece of water-plan connects the Runde with the Ruiten Aa (canals).
Due to house construction it was no longer possible to maintain the original flow of streaming water from the bayou. When the complete route has been gradually recovered, peat-water from the highmoor-reservoir Bargerveen will flow to sea once again.
Technique: HDR Tone Mapping & PS color and contrast enhancements.
Two layer copies with corresponding masks used for selective sharpening and sensor junk removal. A custom double-s curve for overall contrast. A selective Levels layer to brighten the trees in the background a bit. Another custom one-point curve layer for a second contrast adjustment throughout the scene.
The warm subdued color toning was inspired by 17th century paintings, those by William Blake in particular. The end-result was achieved by using three adjustment layers: Photo Filter (orange), Hue/Saturation and Selective Color.
A blueprint of real world grain - Agfa Scala 200x - was sampled and applied as well as a soft Gaussian Blur for the overall effect as a final touch.

(San Giorgio Maggiore as taken from a moving boat)
San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on the island of the same name in Venice, northern Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio, and built between 1566 and 1610. The church is a basilica in the classical renaissance style and its brilliant white marble gleams above the blue water of the lagoon opposite the Piazzetta and forms the focal point of the view from every part of the Riva degli Schiavoni. The belltower has a ring of 9 bells.
San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands of Venice, northern Italy, lying east of the Giudecca and south of the main island group.San Giorgio is now best known for the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore..
San Giorgio Maggiore was probably occupied in the Roman period; after the foundation of Venice it was called Insula Memmia after the Memmo family who owned it. By 829 it had a church consecrated to St George; thus it was designated as San Giorgio Maggiore to be distinguished from San Giorgio in Alga.
The San Giorgio Monastery was established in 982, when the Benedictine monk, Giovanni Morosini, asked the doge Tribuno Memmo to donate the whole island for a monastery.Morosini drained the island's marshes next to the church to get the ground for building, and founded the Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore, and became its first abbot.
In the early 19th century, after the Republic fell, the monastery was almost suppressed and the island became a free port with a new harbour built in 1812. It became the home of Venice's artillery.
San Giorgio Maggiore is now the headquarters of the Cini Foundation arts centre, known for its library and is also home to the Teatro Verde open-air theatre.
VIA Rail Canada's flagship train "The Canadian" is seen rolling across the historic Seguin River Trestle in beautiful Parry Sound, Ontario. The leader, no. 6416, is an F40PH-2 decked out in the funky Canada 150 scheme. On this gloomy morning in October, the Canadian was running about 5.5 hours late, which allowed for some fairly uncommon photos of it on the trestle in daylight.

On a recent visit to Exeter Cathedral in Devon I was unable to get a satisfactory exterior image as contractors working on the building had left their vehicles parked everywhere! We wandered around the inside of the Cathedral which was a worthwhile experience.
On leaving, I noticed this impressive neo classical building which was originally a city centre bank but now like so many others closed down! Although it only dates from the early 19th century, it is a grade 2 listed structure which gives it legal protection from demolition or major alteration without prior approval from the local authority – Exeter City Council.
I cannot imagine that its acquisition and refurbishment by the Ivy restaurant chain was easy and probably cost a considerable amount of money.

~As I fell to the ocean floor
Feeling light through an open door
Saw myself rise with the water
They thought they could keep me down,
Hold their breath and watch me drown,
but all they did has pushed me higher.~
