The location for the first synagogue in South Australia was selected by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation, off of Rundle Street, on the street that would later be named Synagogue Place. The land fronting Rundle Street was bought from George Morphett for £280 in 1848, with the synagogue completed two years later in August 1850. The building was small, 35 by 25 feet, and had a capacity for 150 worshipers. It was made of stone and of an ‘Egyptian’ style, which was popular among Jewish populations in Australia during the nineteenth century. This style, reminiscent of ancient temples and sygnifying the ancient origins of Judaism, made the synagogue stand out from the surrounding buildings. The interior of the synagogue featured a partially screened women’s gallery, polished cedar pews and bronze chandeliers, and was described by The South Australian Register in 1850 as ‘handsome, appropriate, and strongly demonstrative of the liberal spirit which characterises the Jewish community in this province.’ The combined costs of buying and building the synagogue were reportedly £950. This was raised by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation through loans and donations from both the Jewish and wider Christian communities.
The synagogue, however, became inadequate within ten years of its establishment, as the Jewish community in Adelaide outgrew its capacity. Extensions were added in 1859 and 1860, with additional meeting chambers constructed adjacent to the synagogue and an extension added to the women’s gallery. However, these were not sufficient enough to meet the needs of the community, with thoughts of building a new synagogue already being entertained. In May 1870 it was decided to build on the existing site next to the original synagogue. The new synagogue was designed by South Australian architects Edmund Wright, Edward Woods and Edward Hamilton in an ‘Italian’ style, which drew influences from the architecture of the Italian renaissance. This stone building had a capacity for 370 people, dwarfing the adjacent 1850 synagogue that was converted into a classroom. This substantial building cost £1,065 and consolidated the position of the Jewish community in South Australia. The entrance to this building originally faced Rundle Street and featured a lawn and fountain leading up to it. However, the construction of the Rundle Buildings on the corner of Rundle Street and Synagogue Place during the building boom of the 1890s forced the entrance of the synagogue to move to its current location in Synagogue Place.
Further changes were made to the building in 1938, with both the synagogue and Rundle Buildings receiving a new Art Deco cement facade designed by architect Chris A. Smith. This remodeling scheme also extended the building to the footpath and included the addition of an entrance porch containing a memorial tablet to Jewish soldiers who died during the First World War. The synagogue building has been altered little since these renovations.
Synagogue Place remained the centre of the Jewish community in South Australia until they relocated in 1990 to a new synagogue in Glenside. The original synagogue building has since become a nightclub.

While at Echo Amphitheater in Abiquiú, I shot some infrared.
I've tended to process my infrareds to black and white as I never felt satisfied with my attempts at false color processing with channel swapping.
I've been learning more this past year about working with color prior to converting to black and white.
In the first comment box below is the unedited shot, pretty much all brown. Shot through the Hoya R72, 720 nm filter. The custom white balance that I had set keeps it from being totally magenta.
As has been my common result, using the Channel Mixer adjustment layer and swapping values for the red and blue channels wasn't great.
I've been learning what the Selective Color adjustment layer does, so opened that under the Channel Mixer layer.
It allowed me to play with how much red, yellow, green, blue, cyan and magenta are within colors and thereby fine tune what the Channel Mixer does.
Things were better.
Then I opened a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer above Channel Mixer and found that playing with the Master and moving the Hue slider helped too.
After working on tonal ranges, using midtone luminosity masks on curves layers and dodging and burning, I still didn't like how much purple was in the sky.
I tried the Select Color command to isolate the sky and that created a mask when I opened the Color Balance adjustment layer. Mostly working on shadows and midtones to reduce red, increase blue and increase green got the deep blue color.
I've been learning about the Hard Mix blend mode, and after using the color picker to grab the color of the trees, I opened a Color Fill adjustment layer, set it to Hard Mix and then reduced the Fill opacity to 7%. This enhanced the tree color.
Finally, I got a false color infrared that actually had definite color.
Why did I do all this?
This extreme edit became the underlying base to a black and white version of the shot. All the color stuff I've been learning was part of tutorials on processing for BW.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I hope to post that on Thursday for Donnerstagsmonochrom.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
A Monochrome wide angle HDR panorama of Johannesburg, looking East, taken from a Helicopter piloted by Susan Prinsloo. The POV was approximately above Park station as we headed East from Soweto and the Helicopter pilots' training fields. Processed and converted into Monochrome on Snapseed.
A small spray at the bottom of Falls Creek Falls makes an interesting spray in the sunlight.
I converted this to B&W. Otherwise, this is straight from the camera.

Grandpa was always a little eccentric and when he purchased a run down city tram and converted it into a Weiner Wagon the whole family thought he had lost his marbles. Gramps is dead now and you are the lucky owner of his hot dog tram. To your surprise, it turns a profit and is a favorite with locals. Needless to say you are the envy of your cousins who inherited his toenail clipping museum.... not nearly as popular a location...
The Converted Tram is available at ECLIPSE

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Alhambra (The Red One) is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls with many beautiful, intricate details. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada. After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but it was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.

The trabocchi are ancient wooden platforms for fishing with a spider-like array of wooden arms, ropes and pulleys which used to be used in connection with large nets to trap fish. They have been declared a national monument and, while some have been converted into cafes and restaurants, others like this one have been restored to the way they were about two centuries ago. Trabocco Turchino is on the Trabocchi Coast (a section of the Chieti province coast from Francavilla al Mare to San Salvo) in the Abruzzo region of Italy.
Rencontre extraordinaire avec un diablotin au soleil couchant, tout droit sorti d'un conte de fées. Une dizaine de minutes en sa compagnie puis il disparaît a mon regard....
Extraordinary meeting with an imp at sunset, straight out of a fairy tale. Ten minutes in his company then disappears in my eyes ....

As 170398 comes off the cut off line with 1V11 Nottingham to Cardiff Central, 56081 approaches Water Orton from Coleshill with 5M56 Leicester LIP to Longport FD, with 56104 and 56312 in tow, the pair of Grids going to be converted to Class 69s.
On February 8 1979, while travelling on North Eastern Railway metre gauge train 311 from Sonpur to Gorakhpur, I jumped off and ran forward to grab a pic at Siwan Junction. Train locomotive, 4-6-2 YP 2509 was built by North British of Glasgow in 1952, works number 27198.
At the time, India had around 25,000kms of metre gauge route kilometres, only around 5,000kms less than the broad gauge network. Today there are only handful of metre gauge lines remaining in India totalling, at a guess, less than 2000kms (see comment below), Most, like this one, have been converted to broad gauge.

Here's the giant 747 that made it out to Burning Man this year. It was converted into a huge dance club that would taxi across the playa every night to a different location. I took this just before sunrise. This year, I think I saw about 80% of the sunrises which was a new high for me! On this particular night, the plane had taxied way into the deep playa out near Michael Benisty's work, "Broken Together," a work you might remember from a few posts ago in my Instagram feed. I have a photo of these two together that I am still working on...

Lockheed L.1011 TriStar 100 (c/n 193B-1109)
TWA (Trans World Airlines)
Las Vegas-McCarran International (LAS/KLAS)
19 October 1995
Built in 1975 for TWA as a TriStar series 1, N31029 became a series -100 model in 1978, and a model -200 a few months later, at the start of a two-year lease to Delta Air Lines. In 1980 the aircraft was returned to TWA, and converted back to a series -100 TriStar.
N31029 became the only TWA TriStar receiving the carriers latest and last livery, and as such was seen on finals to McCarran's runway 26L.
The aircraft was withdrawn from use in late 1998 and stored at Las Vegas. In 2001 it was sold to Greensboro, NC-based TradeWinds Airlines, but never entered service and was used as a spares source instead. In early 2003 the aircraft was broken-up at Greensboro.

Tonhalle Düsseldorf is a concert hall in Düsseldorf. It was built by the architect Wilhelm Kreis, it was built in 1926 as a planetarium, the biggest in the world at the point of construction. During the 1970s it was converted into a concert hall.
Taken out at the Wapato Showdown in Gaston this last year.. They have a classic car show every year and there are some real beauties there and bring back sweet memories... I don't think a convertible is the car for this area because it rains so much but to each his own... I'm just hoping that one of the meets will have a Chevrolet like I owned with those big fins... LOL!!
The Packard plant was opened in 1903 and at the time was considered the most modern automobile manufacturing facility in the world, with skilled craftsmen involved in over eighty trades. The factory complex closed in 1958
