This is a re-edit from a photo taken last year at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo, NZ. I wouldn't normally post a re-edit but i think in this case it is worthwhile as it is a much improved version (i think anyway). I've learnt a bit more about processing over the past few months so I have been going over some of my earlier photos. Let me know your thoughts, I value critical freedback!

in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.
St. Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age. Contrary to popular misconception, Saint Peter's is not a cathedral, as it is not the seat of a bishop. It is properly termed a papal basilica.

Like many Elizabethan mansions, Barrington is built in an 'E' shape with large projecting wings with square projections that contain staircases. The house is not truly symmetrical as the hall has two lights and the buttery one. The south front has seven gables supported by octagonal buttresses and decorated with twisted finials with ogee scale-work caps and English Crockets.
I set out to capture the supermoon during the lunar eclipse last night, but unfortunately, the eclipse started before moonrise in this area and there was a low band of clouds somewhere past the Cascades that hid the moon from view once it did rise until it was in the waning stage of the eclipse.
I shot a number of images during this time and on two instances captured objects zipping by in front of the moon. I had read discussions on line of individuals photographing unknown objects that passed in front of the moon from somewhere in outer space, but this was the first time I had personally witnessed it.
The first object was quite a bit slower (although still quite fast) than this second object that I've posted here. Shutter speed was 1/1000th of a second and these two images were shot back to back in continuous shooting mode, which equates to around 4-6 frames per second.
The other object was smaller and harder to tell if it was man-made or natural. I think this one looks like a meteor, but who knows; perhaps it's one for Project Blue Book. Maybe it's a flying saucer and there were little green men inside of it.

The Grand Foyer of the Opera Garnier in Paris. The opera house was built under Napoleon III by the then unknown architect Charles Garnier. The completion took fifteen years due to many interruptions, including the fall of Napoleon III and the Commune in 1870. The building was inaugurated in 1875.
The Grand Foyer, resembling a mirror gallery of a royal palace, was designed to allow people to have a walk during intervals. It was decorated by Paul Baudry and depicts themes from the history of music. The lyre is a much used decorative element.

Wernberg convent perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking a bend in the Drau River. The building run by the Sisters of the Precious Blood is actually in part a Renaissance castle dating back to the early 13th century. Today it houses a nunnery, education centre and guesthouse with its own farm and a well-stocked shop selling its produce. This was where we had dinner before going to Villach for the night.

Qualunque nube può oscurare il sole
sebbene tu desideri il sereno
ed ogni giorno offre ciò che vuole
sebbene ciò non ti soddisfi appieno.

self portrait at mirror
Etoile è la mia inquilina.Ci sono periodi in cui va via,altri in cui si mette comoda e ha voglia di giocare,allora è come se in cielo ci fosse un arcobaleno e tutto si colora.
A volte mi vergogno di lei,di portarla in società, e la lascio a casa.Le faccio gli occhi severi e lei si rifugia a dormire nel lampadario.Sì,vive in un lampadario,nella stanza più segreta della mia mente...
A volte invece sono io a svegliarla,a chiederne con insistenza la presenza,i suoi giochi,la sua imprevedibilità.Oppure arriva a tradimento e, mentre il mondo mi chiede compostezza e "ruolo", mi mette un sorriso agli angoli degli occhi e devo lasciarla fare.
Etoile ha una veste di seta di ragno e calze a righe colorate,l'una diversa dall'altra,
piccole piccole ali sulla schiena di cui si serve,a volte,in modo impertinente e, tra i capelli,mille campanellini d'argento.Quando li muove tintinnano allegri e mettono voglia di sorridere.
Così,se a volte sorrido senza motivo,so che Etoile si sta pettinando...
o vuole scacciare la tristezza che si avvicina alla sua stanza...
Etoile mangia come una fata...briciole di biscotto,qualche nocciola,
un po' di succo di mirtilli che beve dal mio ditale.Mangia nei posti più strani,ma adora farlo nelle tue tasche o in fondo alla tua giubba...se senti un fastidioso pizzicorino nei posti più strani è certamente Etoile che rovista alla ricerca di qualche briciola o che fa pulizia con la sua scopina dopo aver mangiato.
Fai attenzione ad accettare i suoi biscotti...hanno degli effetti imprevedibi,
perchè nell'impasto le cade sempre la sua polvere di fata.
Si racconta che possano far cambiare colore ai capelli e i signori perbene non amano i capelli color cipria.Si dice perfino che a qualcuno siano venute un paio d'ali in fondo alla schiena e che se ne sia dovuto andare in giro per un po' svolazzando a testa in giù.L'effetto per fortuna dura poco, ma negli orecchi poi ti restano gli acufeni di un riso cristallino...
Etoile adora regalare i suoi minuscoli pacchetti dei pensieri felici,sono così piccoli che si fa davvero fatica a tirare via il nastro e la carta che li avvolge,ma ne vale la pena.
Dentro ci potrai trovare un po' di pioggia,il rumore del mare,il suono di un carillon,un po' di pulviscolo preso da un raggio di sole...Lei è lì,rimarrà seria seria per tutto il tempo aspettando la tua sorpresa prima di volare via felice a confezionarne un altro.
E ha un'altra magia,la più bella per me...le ho visto trasformare in perle iridescenti le lacrime di un uomo, dopo avergliele raccolte in una mano...
