The ruined church of St Thomas a Beckett in Heptonstall, West Yorkshire, England. It was built between 1256 and 1260. The “new” church of 1854 was built after a storm damaged the old one, and it shares the graveyard. The American poet Sylvia Plath is buried there.
Despite my phobia of snakes, I approached the window to capture this dominant pose on me... Impressive, I had to really contain my fear!!!

Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of the two everlasting empires, necessity and free will.

Nov 27, 2021: This photo was chosen as the group cover for The Wall. A Second Life repository of excellent SL photography group.
I took some photos I made of a running Jane and fed them into an AI to combine elements and produce this image.
I used my cell phone on the end of a selfie stick with a toy tied onto the end as a lure to get her to chase the rig.
I'm learning AI can be used like Photoshop to blend things you have made, not just to create bizarre alien landscapes.
This particular bullfrog habitat is such, the swaying tree canopy, allows rays of light to pierce the shadows randomly. Shooting slightly underexposed helps create this effect.
Thank you for looking!

low-angle view of Nehaj Fortress shrouded in dark, moody light
Nehaj Fortress is a monumental 16th-century stronghold perched on Trbušnjak Hill, serving as the ultimate symbol of the historic coastal town of Senj, Croatia. Completed in 1558 under the supervision of Captain Ivan Lenković, this imposing cube-shaped castle was constructed using the stones of salvaged churches and monasteries from outside the town walls to strengthen local defenses. Rising 18 meters high and measuring 23 meters wide, its massive walls (up to 3.3 meters thick) feature over a hundred narrow gun ports and eleven large cannon openings. For decades, it stood as an impenetrable military post successfully protecting the region against relentless attacks from both the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice.
The fortress is most famously known as the historic headquarters of the Uskoks, a legendary community of Christian refugees who turned into fierce guerrilla warriors and Adriatic pirates to resist foreign invaders. Today, the fully restored castle houses a comprehensive three-story museum where visitors can explore fascinating collections of authentic weapons, period costumes, and regional historical artifacts. The ground floor features the preserved foundations of an 11th-century early Romanesque church alongside a traditional restaurant, while the top open-air terrace rewards travelers with spectacular, sweeping panoramic views of the Kvarner Gulf and the islands of Krk, Prvić, and Rab.

Seen rolling along the Pittsburgh Line in Central Pennsylvania. Rather, smelled rolling along.
I liked the googly eye someone put on the horse on the nose.

The dense tree canopy above the canal and along the lake edge makes for some beautiful light especially in the early hours. Black-crowned Night-heron stepping into the some light.

Spot the two birds :)
For a change, this is a new (outside!) photo, taken just a few days ago at the wonderful Britzer Garten, one of Berlin's biggest and most beautiful public parks (please check my album for more "Britz bliss", if you like).
For better dynamic range, I've used exposure bracketing (three images), pre-processed the images in DXO PhotoLab (sharpness and DeepPrime denoising only), from which I directly went into HDR Efex Pro to combine the images. I'm trying to get away from the annual Adobe subscription, and combining images from an exposure bracketing series in HDR Efex instead of Lightroom is one step into that direction. Unfortunately, whenever I think I can finally leave Adobe behind for good they come up with improvements such as the new "supersize" function (now also available in LR), a ton of new presets for LR, and other interesting stuff (and I'm still used to the LR/PS workflow, and the layers in PS). Well, maybe I'll be ready next year ;)
Extra sliding was done in Color Efex, where I added some "Brilliance and Warmth" and a tiny bit of "Contrast Color Range".
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and have a nice week ahead!
