It was drizzling when I went to the Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, south of San Francisco. Colma, also called the City of Souls, is a small town with 1500 people living above ground, and 1.5 million souls residing in 16 cemeteries. Nobody was at the cemetery when I walked around with tripod and camera. This structure caught my attention - POPE is inscribed above the door, and inside are beautiful stained-glass windows.
Wondering about the inscription, I searched the internet and found that this mausoleum was built for lumber baron Andrew Jackson Pope (1820-1878.)
I processed a paintery and a balanced HDR photo from three RAW exposures, merged them using the balanced one for the sky, desaturated the image, added a hint of cold to the shadows and warmth to the highlights to pop the scene.

Dominating the skyline at Trafalgar is Nelson's Column, probably one of the most famous landmarks of London.
Took this last November up in Bláfjöll of the Peace Column by Yoko Ono. The "sunset" is ambient light from Reykjavík.
A second set of columns in Columbia located at the Boone County Courthouse on 8th street aligned with the iconic columns at Jessie Hall on the campus of the University of Missouri. Looking south toward East Broadway the sun peaks out from behind one of the columns. The long shadows of the low sun creates a leading line to one of the middle columns.

A Mirror Image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect it results from reflection off from substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures. Two-dimensional mirror images can be seen in the reflections of mirrors or other reflecting surfaces, or on a printed surface seen inside-out. If we first look at an object that is effectively two-dimensional (such as the writing on a card) and then turn the card to face a mirror, the object turns through an angle of 180° and we see a left-right reversal in the mirror. In this example, it is the change in orientation rather than the mirror itself that causes the observed reversal. Another example is when we stand with our backs to the mirror and face an object that's in front of the mirror. Then we compare the object with its reflection by turning ourselves 180°, towards the mirror. Again we perceive a left-right reversal due to a change in our orientation. So, in these examples the mirror does not actually cause the observed reversals.

I spotted this tower thingy as we drove across the bridge and proclaimed "That's where I want to go" and after many wrong turns which resulted in discovering more treasure we finally found this, which of course, I never knew existed :)

Tour et Taxis est un ancien et vaste site industriel bruxellois. Composé d'entrepôts et des bureaux entourant une gare abritée sous une vaste halle, le site a été désaffecté puis partiellement restauré pour accueillir des entreprises et de grandes manifestations culturelles. Il est situé le long du canal de Bruxelles, à quelques minutes à peine du centre de la capitale, sur le territoire de la commune de Bruxelles-Ville, et comporte plusieurs grands bâtiments et entrepôts faits de briques, de verre et de fer forgé. Le lieu propose notamment au Salon du livre, à la Foire des Antiquaires Brafa, au Brussels Design Market et au Festival Couleur Café tous les espaces nécessaires pour des extensions.
Tour & Taxis is a former Brussels and vast industrial site. Consisting of warehouses and offices around a sheltered station in a vast hall, the site was abandoned and partially restored to welcome companies and major cultural events. It is located along the Brussels canal, a few minutes from the center of the capital, in the territory of the municipality of Brussels City, and has several large buildings and warehouses made of brick, glass and wrought iron. The place offers including the Book Fair, the Fair Brafa Antiquaires, the Brussels Design Market and Festival Couleur Café all necessary space for extensions.
Lo stile dell'edificio è tipico del periodo fascista e segue la corrente del Razionalismo italiano mentre gli interni sono in stile futurista, uno dei pochi esempi integri dell'epoca con affreschi di Benedetta Cappa, moglie di Marinetti, cinque pannelli raffiguranti le comunicazioni terrestri, marine, aeree, telegrafiche, radiofoniche.
