It was a very nice day, But I was in the mood to create something. So here is the result. I made the photo a b/w and then boosted the contrast, and then added the Lightning strike into the shot.

Alanya (pronounced [ɑˈlɑnjɑ]) is a seaside resort city and district of Antalya Province in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey, 120 km (75 miles) from the city of Antalya. The municipal district, which includes the city center, has close to 400,000 inhabitants. The population is almost entirely of Anatolian origin, but is home to almost 10,000 European residents, with a growing presence in the city and its economy.
Because of its natural strategic position on a small peninsula into the Mediterranean Sea below the Taurus Mountains, Alanya has been a local stronghold for many Mediterranean-based empires, including the Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. Alanya's greatest political importance came in the Middle Ages with the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm under the rule of Alaeddin Keykubad I, from whom the city derives its name. His building campaign resulted in many of the city's landmarks, such as the Kızıl Kule (Red Tower), Tersane (Shipyard), and Alanya Castle.
The relatively moderate Mediterranean climate, natural attractions, and historic heritage makes Alanya a popular destination for tourism, and responsible for nine percent of Turkey's tourism sector and thirty percent of foreign purchases of real estate in Turkey. Tourism has risen since 1958 to become the dominant industry in the city, resulting in a corresponding increase in city population. Warm-weather sporting events and cultural festivals take place annually in Alanya. Mayor Hasan Sipahioğlu of the Motherland Party has led the city since 1999.

Violist Maria-Paula Majoor of the Dutch Matangi Quartet during Festival Classique 2009.
---
Tijdens de laatste dag van Festival Classique 2009 bracht het Matangi Kwartet een buitengewoon boeiend programma waarin de vraag stond, hoe klassieke muziek tot leven komt en hoe een nieuw publiek bereikt wordt.
De vier musici van het kwartet, waaronder violiste Maria-Paula Majoor (op foto), brachten in drie verschillende entourages diversen strijkkwartetten. Daarna was er ruimte voor een discussie op basis van het boek Van hoge naar nieuwe kunst van Hans Abbing. Hierin pleit Abbing voor lossere omgangsvormen in de concertzaal - een stelling die nogal wat commotie teweegbracht bij het publiek in de Koninklijke Schouwburg waar het concert plaatsvond.
