I can't recall if I converted this image to black and white. I suspect that, on this occasion, I did. But it's hard to tell, because the building is entirely clad in shades of grey and the sky was completely colourless too.

They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

(Psalm 107:13-15)

The building contains the official apartments of the mayor of Paris.

Three city halls have stood on the site of the present building, each grander than its predecessor. The first was the House of Pillars (Maison aux Piliers), used by the municipality from 1357 to 1533. The present-day Hôtel de Ville (1874–82) replaced the Renaissance structure that was in use from the 16th century until 1871, when it was burned by the insurrectionary Communards.

This is the same sugar shack I photographed in the fall www.flickr.com/photos/195136680@N07/52605550141/in/photos.... A very different atmosphere here with the grey clouds and the colourless trees.

  

No tweaks to contrast or colour. No anything. Just converted to JPEG from RAW so I could upload it. It just reminds me of how bleak and colourless the woods were that morning in the dense mist. The eerie silence. Fantastic start to a day!! :-)

I did a few bike tours last week and enjoyed having the roads almost to myself. It took double the time I usually need for the distance, but it was lots of fun anyway.

Another shot for today's Macro Mondays. Here the bubbles are essentially colourless, but the blue lighting behind the bubbles give the colour.

Photo at dusk of the old lead mines chimney at Carrigolligan, Ballycorus, Co. Dublin.

The lead mines operated here from 1826 to 1913 and it was a very hazardous place to work. Please see the photos in the attached album for a brief history.

The chimney is a well know landmark and is visible all over south Co. Dublin. Its a wondeful structure with a set of Granite projecting steps that cantilevear out from the walls and form a spiral staircase to the top as can be seen in the photo.

I only got one photo as it was getting very darks so I have tinted in the sky slightly as it was a bit colourless.

Hope you like the moodiness of it.

P@t.

 

Here`s Sean Keanes rendition of Ewan Mc Call`s song, "Tunnel Tigers" which tells the story of the Irish ex mining workers who went to England to work on the building of the London underground.

" Hares run free on the Wicklow mountains,

Wild geese fly and the fox`s play,

Sporting Wicklow boys are working,

They`re driving a tunnel through the London clay "

 

The hotel has since closed and this is now "Beaconsfield Heritage Accommodation".

Who says a camera never lies?

 

In this instance it certainly does as this photo was taken at dusk with a totally flat and colourless sky. The end result is the type of image I was looking forward to photographing, but alas Mother Nature didn't deliver. Instead, having been introduced to the idea from a good Flickr pal I have experimented a little with substituting the sky I saw with one that offered a little more interest and appeal.

The pub sits in Hayfield Road where it joins Kingston Road. It faces down Aristotle Lane and is bordered by Polstead Road.

The bridge in the background further upriver is the Cannon Street Railway Bridge.

 

The water to the left is known as River Walbrook.

 

The Walbrook is a subterranean river in the City of London that gave its name to the Walbrook City ward and a minor street in its vicinity. The Walbrook is one of many "lost" rivers of London, the most famous of which is the River Fleet.
