I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my soul altogether.

At this point I was covered with blood coming out from these ppl and also my camera. This was shot at 24mm and as you can see I was very close to him. They were beating up their chest with sharp objects and with hands mourning the name of Hasan and Hussain.
The Ashura is commemorated for the following occasions which may have happened on the 10th Day of the Muharram:
* God had mercy on Adam
* The deliverance of Noah from the flood
* Abraham was saved from Nimrod's fire
* Jacob's blindness was healed after Joseph's shirt was brought to him on this day (Quran)
* Job was healed from his illness
* The Israelites were saved from Pharaoh's army.
* Jesus was brought up to heaven after attempts by the Romans to capture and crucify him failed.
All the above incidents are not confirmed to have taken place on Ashura in the Koran, nor by any strong Hadith. These have been reported in the weaker Hadith, but are nevertheless regarded possible by majority of the Sunni Muslims. The most authentic is the 5th incident where God saved Moses and the Israelites from Pharaoh. This is the reason why many muslims fast on the 10th of Muharram.
Today, Sunnis regard fasting during Ashura as recommended, though not obligatory, having been superseded by the Ramadan fast.
Oddly, Sunnis in Egypt customarily eat a pudding (also known as Ashura) after dinner on the Day of Ashura; it is a rice pudding with nuts, raisins, and rose water, and it is also known in Turkish as Aşure. Given that Egypt was ruled by the Shi'ite Fatimid Caliphate and subsequently conquered by the Sunni Ayyubid dynasty, it may be that the (bitter) fast of Ashura was turned on its head after the Fatimid regime was toppled.

Netherlands, Noord Holland, Amsterdam, Dam, GVB 'Combino' Tram, Girl, Reflections (cut from all sides)
While shooting eléctricos in Lisboa the last years I've come to look at these trams not only as design icons and objects of nostalgia, but more and more as protagonists of 1000s of little street stories. And during a photowalk with Arlette yesterday, I applied this without thinking to this modern GVB tram.

Just trying new things.
Taking advantage of some natural light. Sunny in Oregon today.
By total accident I lined the heel up with the edge of the chair perfectly. heh.
Really should have shot this again.
Random fact: These red shoes are my wedding shoes.
Yes, I'm aware that is odd. :) and no, I didn't wear the socks.

It would be nice if you do use it to link back to me. Thanks :-)
I tried imaging of the object with dual narrow band filter, IDAS NB12 with a bit wider bandwidth, 12nm. It is said to be better for faster optics up to f/1.8.
The faintest hydrogen-alpha emission filaments got clearer near the east end compared to a frame taken without narrow band filter as below.
Here is a frame of the object taken with the same optics without narrow band filter in Hawaii December 2019:

IS IT REAL?
This waterfall is a water object in a park in Schaumburg, IL - USA. The park has a pond, colored pavers, retaining walls, planting beds, fountain and painted ornamental ironwork. It is an "open space" within the city. Many of the suburbs in the area have them.... its all part of Generica (Generic + America).
PROCESSESED?
This waterfall was part of a designers plan. The stones were laid by tradesmen and the water was made to flow across them to give people a feel as if they were viewing the beauty of nature. My photograph has obviously been processed, in the same manner that the designer of this water fall used. I wanted to let the viewer feel as if they were remembering a natural water fall from their past. I tried to give it a dreamy feel.
ENGINEER vs PHOTOGRAPHER
The question arises - Is a manufactured environment or memory wrong? As the designer layed out each part of this water fall - I layed out the coloring of each pixel. The result is engineered. The designer's calculated, gentle drop in elevation and my calculated cropping of parked cars in the background. We both try to achieve the same.
RIGHT or WRONG
People are more affected by other people than any other factor in our lives. This makes sense that we can create emotion through artwork. I hope that this artifact and my presentation will bring the viewer some joy. Many people will be able to see the processed environment that has been created, but will still enjoy the photograph.
