The sunrises lately here in southern Brooklyn have been pretty awesome, including today's example. I enhanced some of the color, contrast, etc., but not by much. Hope you also enjoy it!
Klis Fortress is one of the most complete examples of fortification architecture in Croatia. It is located in a strategically important position in the town of the same name, Klis, in the Split-Damatina County, on the pass between Kozjak on the west side and Mosor on the east side.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
The New Years Eve tradition of 'Bleigießen' (molibdomancy/lead-pouring), is commonly found in certain parts of Europe and some other countries, if online sources are to be believed. Small metal figurines (in shapes of good luck symbols, bottles etc.) are molten in a special spoon over a candle and then poured into a bowl of water! The shapes which are created by that are then interpreted as signs/symbols for the coming year!
In my home country of Austria it‘s not something everybody does, but it seems to be common enough for these little metal figurines to be sold in grocery stores all around! If you stop to think about it, it‘s probably not the best idea ever to add molten metal and fumes into the mix of fireworks, lack of sleep and alcohol that accompany that night, but I guess part of tradition is also not constantly questioning it 😅!

A beautiful example of the world-famous Waterford Crystal. I was fortunate enough to tour the House of Waterford Crystal in Ireland, and was fascinated by the process and all the amazing art that I saw there. It was like stepping into a wonderland of sparkling ice! If you’re interested, I just discovered that the price of Cinderella’s carriage and horses would be $45,500.....

Built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. A great example of Regionalism Architecture with elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival.
The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast is an example of what happens when an automaker commits to crafting a vehicle that offers the best performance money can buy. With almost 800 horses under the hood, this coupe provides brutish power, facilitating a zero-to-60-mph sprint that clocks in at less than three seconds. Fuel economy is poor, and the 812 Superfast's $330,000-plus price makes it accessible only to the very privileged few. Still, if you have deep pockets and a thirst for spectacular handling, this skilled Ferrari won't disappoint.
Ferrari's 812 Superfast gets its muscle from a 6.5-liter V-12 powerplant, and this engine delivers a bracing 788 horsepower and 529 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. The 812 Superfast holds a place among the quickest of the quick. In our track tests, it sprinted from zero to 60 mph in a scant 2.8 seconds. That's a dazzling performance, but it trails that of the McLaren 720S. That car made the run in just 2.7 seconds. Handling is nimble, especially when you consider this Ferrari's relatively hefty curb weight. The engine note is mellifluous, and the car's brakes are potent enough to bring this beast to a quick and decisive standstill.
Thanks to Car And Driver for the above.
Das „Colani-Ei“ in Lünen, Deutschland, ist ein einzigartiges und futuristisches Bauwerk, das vom renommierten Industriedesigner Luigi Colani entworfen wurde. Es ist eine ikonische Struktur, die für ihre eiförmige Gestalt bekannt ist und ein herausragendes Beispiel für Colanis biomorphe und aerodynamische Designphilosophie darstellt.

The "Colani-Ei" (Colani Egg) in Lünen, Germany, is a unique and futuristic building designed by the renowned industrial designer Luigi Colani. It's an iconic structure known for its egg-shaped form and is a standout example of Colani's biomorphic and aerodynamic design philosophy. (Quelle/source: Internet)
The Yueh Hai Ching Temple in Singapore, built in 1826 and renovated in 1855, is a great example of southern Chinese temple architecture, specifically in the Teochew architectural style from the Qing Dynasty. It is a Taoist temple.
The current structure of this shrine dates back to 1850 and then was substantially renovated in 1895. Since then, it has undergone several restorations.
The temple was designated as a National Monument of Singapore in 1996. Its restoration and conservation in 2011 earned the Award of Merit at the 2014 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards.
The courtyard of Yueh Hai Ching Temple, enclosed by surrounding walls and buildings, possesses a sense of introspection.
Its seclusion from the outside world creates a tranquil, self-contained space, as a serene retreat within the temple grounds.
The Registan, heart of ancient Samarkand. The ensemble of three madrasas is considered a unique example of the art of urban construction + architectural design.
The medreses not only served as academic teaching centres, but also as the most important mosques for a long time.
A great example of clouds - this is taken when I visited Mt Fuji. I was so excited to see the mountain and essentially it was socked in for all but 2 min we were there! I only caught a glimpse of this massive cone. This was one of my attempts to grab a picture - the clouds were just too much. That day those clouds actually produced snow...we were on Mt Fuji and it snowed, which was really cool even if I didn't get my "epic" shot.
11 000 large scallop shells were used as roof tiles, with a further 4,500 crushed into aggregate for the building's concrete front patio. This summer refuge was constructed towards the end of the loop known as the 'Circuit des cabanes' in Limognes-en-Quercy, on the high plateau above the river Lot. Over 20 shepherd's huts and cabanes, along with many associated walls were restored by a talented team over a period of some 20 years. The quality of their work certainly deserved recognition and financial support, as the 'petit patrimoine' of the Occitanie is in much need of skill-set, raw material and chronophage purpose. The above building offers new lines and is the second example of modern refuge, or sleep-over point along the Europes main pilgrim's path to north west Spain. A second example - Super-Cayrou (linked below) - helps to add dynamic to the subject of dry stone. The above 'Pecten Maximus' project is not without interest, despite an entrance that perhaps feels closer to 'residential supplement' than rural practicality.

Doddinghurst, Essex – All Saints
These are more examples of Essex Churches that show the Architecture, the Interiors, the Exteriors and especially the Stained Glass Windows that I have taken over the last two to three years. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did visiting them.
Doddinghurst is a village about 3.8 miles outside Brentwood in Essex and the Church is situated in Church Lane.
The church was built in the 13th century with additions in the 14th (the timber-framed belfrey) and 16th centuries(the timber framed porch to the south door). A large part of the interior of the church was restored in 1887 as was the exterior. Here the walls were either rebuilt or refaced.
One of the bells in the tower was cast by Robert Mot who also made one for the ‘Mayflower’, the lead ship of the ‘Pilgim Fathers’.
The Bell Tower itself was in poor condition, so in 2001 restoration took place allowing the Belles to be rung again.
There are some fine examples of Victorian stained glass throughout the church, a nice church to visit.
A second example from my Project called “Geocracy”.

It may sound startling but that's the official acceleration time for the Austin A35. This 1958 example seen recently in Whitby theoretically could reach 70.1 mph and in its day offered an almost unbelievable 40 mpg.
Please see my notes below in which I have copied two Wiki excerpts.
Motoring has certainly changed and the day trip to the seaside which we made without any consideration for the reliability of our car would have been a major undertaking for the little old Austin.
Example of black asbestos-cement laboratory countertop. Often mistaken as "slate" or granite; this material demonstrates its fibrous nature at a small, localized area of damage shown in the detailed inset image. This fibrous cement material is also sometimes referred to as "Transite" (a former proprietary brand tradename by Johns-Manville).
Also found in several other colors, but black being the most common in many laboratories and workrooms inside schools, colleges, and commercial & governmental testing organizations. Not uncommon to find graffiti carved into the counter surfaces in high school settings or to find localized areas of excessive wear from long-term repetitive contact which can degrade the surface and expose the asbestos fibers.
Example of a larger, roof-mounted HVAC cooling tower with corrugated asbestos siding and louvers, Marley brand.

Example of thick grade, asbestos-cloth sample from an antique school exhibit of asbestos products by Keasbey & Mattison Co. (K&M).
Here you can see how early car manufacturers used lead (instead of Bondo) to fill in roof joints. Notice how sanding (file) marks are still present in the lead. More importantly, just how thick the early paint jobs had to be to cover these scratches up.

[ CPP Project example 10.04 II ]
This is yet another image that's part of my experimental CPP double exposure photo project -- the second from my recent collaboration with LaDonna Chaos.
UPDATE: I should add some info about this photo. The experiment at the point of this composition was conducted by running the same roll of film through 2 cameras. That's essentially the CPP Project -- having 2 images randomly combined to see what we can come up with. The last public showing was subtitled "cultivating accidents in the camera." With this image, you get a panorama shot mixed w/ a regular format, along with misaligned frames, creating the odd lines (that give it an almost collage-like feel that I like). I enhanced the lines a bit real quickly in Photoshop. I'm not sure if it worked. The original had severe exposure problems, so I was just playing around trying to salvage something. :)
Let's see, you can read more about my CPP project here:

China, Beijing, Temple of Heaven, Tiāntán, at nightfall in December.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, an example of the impressive art work & skilled craftsmanship already in ancient times.
The Tiāntán is considered the most holy of Beijing's imperial temples.
Roof Tiles & roof charms were of great importance in ancient Chinese Architecture. For imperial Architecture certain distinct features were exclusively reserved for buildings built for Chinese Emperors. These features were gold, yellow roof tiles & dragons, yellow colour has always been the imperial colour.
The Temple of Heaven is an exception, its rooftops is of blue colour which symbolizes the sky.
The Temple covers almost 3 km² of parkland & includes three main groups of constructions, all built according to stringent philosophical requirements, the main buildings are the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, 36 mtr in diameter & 38 mtr tall is built completely built of wood, without nails only with wooden dowels on three levels of marble stone base.
In 1889 the original building burned down by a fire caused by lightning, the current building was re-built several years after the incident.
The Temple of Heaven is declared since 1998 as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, constructed from 1406 to 1420 for sacrifices to Heaven during the Ming Dynasty in time of the sovereignty of the Yongle Emperor, who was also responsible for the building of the Forbidden City.
The temple was turned into a park & for the first time open to the public in 1918.
The Imperial Vault of Heaven, a single-gabled circular building, built on a single level of marble stone base & the Circular Mound Altar, located south of the Imperial Vault of Heaven.
Ancient Chinese architecture had reserved certain designs for people of different status. Aspects of the building such as height, colour, material & size of the house were all structured by law according to rank of the family living there.
