Sunset at Terreiro da Se (Cathedral square) in Porto. The XII century cathedral (with multiple later additions and modifications) is very impressive inside and out. The column in front of it is a pillory. The rich ornamentation on such an ominous object boggled my mind, until I learned that it is purely symbolic: installed in XVIII century and never actually used for justice.
«Prendete un tempio greco, incorporatelo per intero in un edificio cristiano, al quale Successivamente si aggiungono le modifiche e la ricostruzione dell'edificio per il culto cristiano adoperate dai normanna, tra le altre, la facciata abbattuta dal grande terremoto del 1693. Senza scoraggiarvi vi rimettete all'opera e, cambiando completamente direzione, sostituite la vecchia facciata con una deliziosa composizione barocca all'incirca del 1728‑54. E il tutto, deteriorato com'è, continua a vivere e a sorridere, diffondendo nel mondo la sua immagine come se fosse stato ideato da un Leonardo o da un Michelangelo"»
(Lawrence Durrell parla della Cattedrale di Siracusa)
La cattedrale della Natività di Maria Santissima sorge sulla parte elevata dell'isola di Ortigia, incorporando quello che fu il principale tempio sacro in stile dorico della polis di Syrakousai, dedicato ad Atena (Minerva) e convertito in chiesa con l'avvento del cristianesimo.
Considerata la chiesa più importante della città di Siracusa, è entrata a far parte dei beni protetti dall'UNESCO in quanto patrimonio dell'umanità. Il suo stile è all'esterno principalmente barocco e rococò, mentre al suo interno alterna parti risalenti all'epoca siceliota, poiché appartenenti al tempio greco e parti risalenti all'epoca medievale, costruite dai Normanni e così lasciate fino ai giorni attuali. La sua struttura interna è composta in diverse navate e cappelle, le quali hanno uno stile classico e decorato, tipico del barocco anch'esso.
Di grande significato religioso, custodisce statue, reliquie e spoglie di santi, martiri e nobili siracusani. I suoi arredi hanno visto il susseguirsi di artisti provenienti da più parti d'Italia e dall'estero. Da sempre simbolo della religiosità siracusana, la cattedrale attraversò le varie fasi storiche e culturali della città.

"Take a Greek temple, incorporate it entirely in a Christian building, to which are subsequently added the modifications and reconstruction of the building for Christian worship used by the Normans, among others, the facade demolished by the great earthquake of 1693. Without discouraging you you get back to work and, changing completely direction, replace the old facade with a delightful baroque composition from around 1728-54. And everything, deteriorated as it is, continues to live and smile, spreading its image throughout the world as if it had been designed by a Leonardo or a Michelangelo "»
(Lawrence Durrell speaks of the Cathedral of Syracuse)
The Cathedral of the Nativity of Maria Santissima rises on the elevated part of the island of Ortigia, incorporating what was the main Doric style sacred temple of the polis of Syrakousai, dedicated to Athena (Minerva) and converted into a church with the advent of Christianity.
Considered the most important church in the city of Syracuse, it has become part of the assets protected by UNESCO as a world heritage site. Its style is mainly baroque and rococo on the outside, while inside it alternates parts dating back to the Siceliot era, since they belong to the Greek temple and parts dating back to the medieval era, built by the Normans and thus left to the present day. Its internal structure is composed of several naves and chapels, which have a classic and decorated style, typical of the Baroque too.
Of great religious significance, it houses statues, relics and remains of saints, martyrs and noblemen from Syracuse. Its furnishings have seen the succession of artists from many parts of Italy and from abroad. Always a symbol of Syracusan religiosity, the cathedral went through the various historical and cultural phases of the city.

The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the most characteristic monuments of the city: visiting it is like leafing through a history book of Sicily.
It is the main place of worship in the city of Palermo and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its highly original mix of styles, with elements of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, Catalan and Gothic art, is a direct consequence of the presence of multiple populations that, over the centuries, have alternated on Sicilian soil.
The style of the twelfth century prevails over all, the Norman one, although the appearance of the church as we see it today is due to modifications and additions from the eighteenth century.
A highly suggestive experience is the visit of the roofs of the Cathedral, thanks to which it is possible to discover the artistic and architectural elements of the external walls of the monument and admire Palermo from above.
The Elihu Benjamin Washburne House was built for and owned by Elihu Benjamin Washburne, a prominent Galena lawyer who served in Congress during the Civil War, and as Secretary of State and Minister to France under President Ulysses S. Grant, another famous Galenian. Constructed in 1844–45, the Washburne House is an example of late Greek Revival architecture. The house was built in the style of Greek temples and features a 2-story porch with four fluted Doric columns.
The Washburne House is a declared Illinois State Historic Site, and was also listed in 1973 on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the Washburne House is a contributing structure in the Galena Historic District which encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. This is the unglaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.
TSS Duke of Lancaster is a former railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is beached at Llannerch-y-Mor Wharf near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, in north Wales. She replaced an earlier 3,600-ton ship of the same name operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway company between Heysham and Belfast.
Along with her sister ships the TSS Duke of Rothesay and the TSS Duke of Argyll, she was amongst the last passenger-only steamers built for British Railways.
From the mid-1960s, passenger ships such as Duke of Lancaster were gradually being superseded by car ferries. Rather than undertake the expensive option of renewing their entire fleet, British Railways instead began a part-programme of conversion. In order to maintain ferry services whilst these modifications took place, Duke of Lancaster's duties as a cruise ship ceased.. On 25 April 1970 the ship returned to service, having had her main deck rebuilt to accommodate vehicles via a rear door at her stern. The ship now provided space for 1,200 single-class passengers and 105 cars, with a total cabin accommodation for 400 passengers

10 years ago I went to a cinq à sept to abuse the free drinks. It preceded a presentation by a man with an ear surgically implanted on his arm.
I was casually chatting with the ear-man when some local body modification fiends stormed the event and demanded he show the goods. “Show us the FUCKING EARR!!” their leader shouted. Ear-man politely declined. The leader grabbed his arm, ripped down his sleeve and held the arm up for all of the mortified, bookish crowd to see. Cool move.
This summer I ran into the leader buying a banh mi. He didn’t remember the incident.

My dreamed sunrise in the Delta of the river Ebro -Tarragona-.
The previous day, a local man explained to me a perfect location for enjoy the photograph of this beautiful land.
I consulted the parameters that night and everything was correct to travel there.
The truth is that I was impressed to get to that place, I put on my waders running to get me asap and do not lose the time.
The sun had not yet risen, the water reached my waist, good temperature, soft wind, a lot of clouds and fog surrounding the horizon, made the conditions were the best.
Many photos I've seen of this place is that in photoshop blur the horizon line with the clone tool, but there was fog and with long exposure, completely erased.
It seemed that I was doing a photo shoot in the same heaven.
I think for many more times to return to this place, I can never find anything so perfect.
This is the photo shoot I most enjoyed in recent years, have a set of at least seven impressive images.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

Before the optical effects.
I'd love to see this as an offical set :) This is fairly crudely built but would be a fun ideas/ architecture set, especially with the 100ish story high rise modification ;)

On a rainy evening, the "Popradské Pleso" lake in the Tatras mountains, Slovakia.
This shot was taken with a mobile phone, as my camera broke down at the very beginning of this trip. I locked the ISO setting of the phone to 100 ISO to try to get as much as possible out of the camera phone, and then resorted to post-processing to try to get a quality image.
For post-processing, I used darktable. I used non-local means denoising, and adjusted the tone curves to have a strong highlight in the center of the image. I use both the equalizer filter (in clarity mode) and the local contrast filter, with masks selecting the center of the image, to increase the contrast gradually toward the center. My goal was to make more visible the different layers of mountains.
Then, I worked a lot on the lower part of the image, the lake, to enhance the highlights in the reflection. For this, I started with a strong modification of the tone curves. However, this created a lot of noise as the sensor of the phone is not too good in the shadows. To fight this noise, applied a set of filters only on the lower part of the image: I used a stronger non-local means that I combined with a wavelet-based denoising (using the "profiled" denoising filter of darktables) as these have different types of artifacts. To cancel out the artifacts, I added to these a low-pass filter that smooths out the image. On top of this, I added artificial grain, to restore the grain of the image destroyed while smoothing.
Finally, I worked a bit on the clouds. I wanted to crop the top of the image, in order to focus more on the horizon line, but I was interested in the shapes of the cloud. So I used a liquify filter to warp these clouds down. Last, in a minor and classic trick, I created a vignetting-like effect by making the top and left clouds darker with a tone-curve filter.

CASTELLANO
El castillo de Morella (Provincia de Castellón, España), construido en lo alto de la población sobre la "Mola" aprovechando la roca, es una fortificación del siglo XIII de arquitectura islámica con reformas posteriores de arquitectura medieval. Consta de la plaza de armas (1.070 m), el palacio del gobernador, el Aljibe, la torre de la Pardalea, retretas al vuelo por donde entraron en 1838 los Carlistas, prisión de Cacho, restos de palacios reales, torres de Homenaje, y pabellones oficiales, por donde han pasado diferentes formas de civilización y culturas.
En el área del castillo han aparecido restos prehistóricos, ibéricos y romanos. Tras la reconquista se iniciaron las actuales murallas y las dependencias que ya existían fueron habilitadas para los reyes cristianos.
El castillo se divide en tres niveles: un primer nivel situado en la parte inferior del peñón en el que se encuentras la entrada y el Palacio del Gobernador. En el segundo nivel se situaban las baterías de artillería. Y en el tercer nivel se encontraría el castillo propiamente dicho. La parte inferior esta rodeada de murallas y torres, de las cuales son la mayoría semicirculares, que surgen de la parte oeste en forma de zigzag.
El castillo, en la parte superior, sufrió modificaciones en la guerra de Sucesión y durante las guerras carlistas, siendo bombardeada la torre celoquia en 1813. A esta zona más elevada se accede a través de una escalera, que tenía 90 peldaños de los que se conservan 54, que conduce a una puerta que da paso a la plaza por un pasadizo que desemboca en la plaza de armas.
En el centro de la misma se encuentra un aljibe de época romana, sobre el que hay una garita del siglo XIX y los restos de un cuerpo de guardia. En la parte sur se encuentran los restos de una edificación compuesta por semisótano que se comunicaba con la torre celoquia.
Al sudeste se encuentra la torre celoquia, que fue la torre del homenaje cristiana. Fue reformada en el siglo XIII, según documentos del siglo XVIII tenia tres plantas, con bóveda la planta baja y la primera, con cubierta exterior a cuatro aguas. No tenía escalera, y la comunicación interior se realizaba por los edificios colindantes. Tuvo en su sótano la capilla de Santa Bárbara y Santa Magdalena hasta el siglo XVIII, luego paso a ser un calabozo.
I was actually planning on attaching this to an M4, but it turned out to be too short.
Inspired by someone over on the BAF, still trying to find who though.
