How can a country be free, when among others, this kind of mentality is still prevalent.
Happy Independence Day anyway.

I mentioned yesterday how English photographer Simon Marsden (1948-2012) pioneered artistic infrared photography. Marsden was using film and worked assiduously in the darkroom to produce the effects he was looking for - at times making up to 15-20 prints before he was satisfied with a single picture.
Over the next week or so I'll show you some examples of digital infrared and the various moods it can create by managing the light. Results can be quite dramatically different depending on the direction and intensity of the light.
In this particular photo we find the standard ideal light for a sharp and high contrast infrared. It is late in the afternoon, and the sun is illuminating this building at a very acute angle. Conversion to a standard black and white in these circumstances is perfect. The tree on the left is the obvious indicator of infrared, since it makes all organic material look white. I have done nothing to darken the sky in processing.

This colonial church is located at Paraty city, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.It was built in 18th century
Paraty city in Rio de Janeiro state is a colonial city founded by portugueses colonizers in sixteen century
A bit of History:
Diego de Almagro founded Santiago de Quito on August 15, 1534, later to be renamed San Francisco de Quito on August 28, 1534.
The city was later moved to its present location and was refounded on 6 December 1534 by 204 settlers led by Sebastián de Benalcázar, who captured Rumiñahui and effectively ended any organized resistance.[6] Rumiñahui was then executed on January 10, 1535. On March 14, 1541, Quito was declared a city and on February 14, 1556, was given the title Muy Noble y Muy Leal Ciudad de San Francisco de Quito ("Very Noble and Loyal City of San Francisco of Quito"), starting at this point its urban evolution.
In 1563, Quito became the seat of a Real Audiencia (administrative district) of Spain and became part of the Viceroyalty of Peru, until 1717 after the Audiencia was part of a newly created Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada. Its administration on both Viceroyalties remained to Quito. (see Real Audiencia de Quito)
As with other places colonized by the Spanish, the colonizers promptly established Roman Catholicism in Quito. The first church (El Belén) was in fact built even before the city had been officially founded. In January 1535, the San Francisco Convent was constructed, the first of about 20 churches and convents built during the colonial period. The Spanish converted the indigenous population to Christianity.
The Nelson House in Yorktown, VA, is part of the Colonial National Historical Park. The house was built about 1730.
It was the home of Thomas Nelson, Jr. (1738-89), Yorktown's most famous son and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
During the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, the town was occupied by British forces. The house was damaged during the bombardment of the town.
Cannon balls have been placed in the walls to indicate damaged areas.
Up the Colonies -- Down the British!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
Our day to crow against our dear friends the Brits! So happy we have a "special relationship!"

Macau is always fun to visit. You get the feel of the old colonial times, as well as the bustling casino life. This shot is from the old part of the town facing the Grand Lisboa hotel.
A similar photo called "the Invasion" by Hong Kong based photographer Paul Tsui’s went viral last year.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

CSX Charlotte Yard Job Y103 works Colonial Materials in Charlotte, NC earlier this week. In order to work Colonial Materials CSX must use a switchback located in a parking lot, then shove over a diamond to access Colonial. This makes for quite the unique scene as they spot cars there.
it is always a pleasure to still find these vintage colonial houses before they disappear, taken over by modernization.
