I modified the trawler-barge in this photo by adjusting the angle and perspective, lowering the contrast, blurring it a bit, and re-doing the waterline. I think it's an improvement--and PhotoShop exercise.
I wasn't able to apply all comments, such as to show the Cadillac upside down while eating shellfish. That would be sooo Monterey Bay! Unfortunately, while the Cadillac was in drydock, it was right-side up!
Suggestions are welcome!

"The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin's unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy, the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components and use of the finest materials." - Aston Martin.
Launched in 2003 as successor to the DB7, the DB9 was the first model to be built at Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire. Like its predecessor, the DB9 was styled by Ian Callum, with finishing touches applied by Henrik Fisker. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. Although some 25% lighter than that of the DB7, this advanced bodyshell possesses double the structural stiffness.
The DB9 was powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in the DB7 Vantage producing 470bhp, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 306km/h (190mph) with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.8 seconds. The aluminium engine was mounted as far back as possible in the chassis, while the transmission/final drive was positioned ahead of the rear axle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution. Transmission options were a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' semi-automatic.
Inside the DB9 one finds the typically elegant, luxurious and supremely comfortable hand crafted interior traditionally associated with Aston Martin, featuring primarily wood and leather trim as well as the latest in modern technology, subtly deployed. Although scheduled for a slightly higher production level than previous Aston Martins, the DB9 remained an exclusive product affordable only by a privileged few. Its price at launch was £111,000, with the Volante convertible some £14,000 more. Production ceased in 2016.
Commissioned from Aston Martin by our vendor, the DB9 Volante offered here is one of eight different models forming the Orange Special Limited Edition Collection, all of which are finished in unique Orange No.1 paintwork. Built to Swiss specifications, the car comes with a certificate of authenticity from Aston Martin; a copy of the sales invoice; a (photocopy) Swiss Carte Grise; photocopy EC Certificate of Conformity; and a detailed list of its money-no-object specification. The DB9 has recently benefited from recommissioning by noted marque specialists Stratton Motor Company.

Αν πιστεύεις στον Θεό, πρέπει να υπακούς στον Θεό, να κάνεις πράξη την αλήθεια και να εκπληρώνεις όλα τα καθήκοντά σου. Επιπλέον, πρέπει να καταλαβαίνεις τα πράγματα που πρέπει να βιώνεις. Αν βιώνεις μόνο την αντιμετώπιση, την πειθαρχία και την κρίση σου, αν είσαι ικανός απλώς να απολαμβάνεις τον Θεό, αλλά δεν είσαι ικανός να το νιώθεις όταν ο Θεός σε πειθαρχεί ή σε αντιμετωπίζει, τότε αυτό είναι απαράδεκτο. Ίσως σ’ αυτήν την περίπτωση εξευγενισμού να είσαι ικανός να διατηρήσεις τη θέση σου. Αυτό και πάλι δεν είναι αρκετό· πρέπει να βαδίσεις εμπρός. Το μάθημα περί του να αγαπάς τον Θεό είναι ατέρμονο και δεν έχει ποτέ τέλος. Οι άνθρωποι εκλαμβάνουν την πίστη στον Θεό σαν κάτι υπερβολικά απλό, ωστόσο όταν αποκτούν μερική πρακτική εμπειρία, συνειδητοποιούν πως η πίστη στον Θεό δεν είναι τόσο απλή όσο φαντάζονται οι άνθρωποι. Όταν ο Θεός εργάζεται για να εξευγενίσει τον άνθρωπο, ο άνθρωπος υποφέρει. Όσο μεγαλύτερος είναι ο εξευγενισμός του, τόσο μεγαλύτερη είναι η αγάπη του για τον Θεό και τόσο περισσότερη από τη δύναμη του Θεού αποκαλύπτεται μέσα του. Όσο λιγότερος είναι ο εξευγενισμός του ανθρώπου τόσο λιγότερη η αγάπη του για τον Θεό και τόσο λιγότερη δύναμη του Θεού αποκαλύπτεται μέσα του. Όσο πιο βαθύς είναι ο εξευγενισμός και ο πόνος του και όσο πιο μεγάλο το μαρτύριό του, τόσο πιο βαθιά θα είναι και η πραγματική αγάπη του για τον Θεό, τόσο πιο αληθινή θα είναι η πίστη του στον Θεό και τόσο πιο βαθιά θα είναι η γνώση του για τον Θεό. Στις εμπειρίες σου θα δεις πως αυτοί που υποβάλλονται σε πολύ εξευγενισμό και πόνο και σε πολλή αντιμετώπιση και πειθαρχία, έχουν βαθιά αγάπη για τον Θεό και πιο ουσιαστική και διεισδυτική γνώση γι’ Αυτόν. Αυτοί που δεν έχουν βιώσει την αντιμετώπιση, έχουν μόνο επιφανειακή γνώση και μπορούν μόνο να πουν: «Ο Θεός είναι τόσο καλός, απονέμει χάρη στους ανθρώπους για να μπορούν να Τον απολαμβάνουν». Αν οι άνθρωποι έχουν βιώσει την αντιμετώπιση και την πειθαρχία, τότε είναι ικανοί να εκφράζουν την πραγματική γνώση του Θεού. Οπότε, όσο πιο θαυμαστό είναι το έργο του Θεού στον άνθρωπο, τόσο πιο πολύτιμο και σημαντικό είναι. Όσο πιο δυσνόητο σου είναι και όσο πιο ασύμβατο είναι με τις έννοιές σου, τόσο πιο ικανό είναι το έργο του Θεού να σε κατακτήσει, να σε αποκτήσει και να σε οδηγήσει στην τελείωση. ...

Possibly the roof to the belfry?
The building, erected in 1846, is stucco over stone, with several nice refinements in the cornice and lintel over the door. The belfry (if that's what it was), much deteriorated, now sits in the ground adjacent to the church.
The Christian denomination grew out of the revivals of the early part of the 19th century and their churches were occasionally referred to as Unitarian owing to a misunderstanding of their basic philosophy. They are definitely Christian but were open to some theological diversity. This congregation was organized about 1826 by a leading revivalist, Mrs. Abigail Roberts, who also organized one nearby in Great Meadows and at least two in Hunterdon county. Initial services were held in the Episcopal mission in town. The church (but not this building) is also associated with the legend of the White Pilgrim, for which see Henry Beck, Tales and Towns of Northern New Jersey.
This church is similar in style to several other Christian churches in the area, although a little more refined in the door surround. See, for example, the Christian church in Little York (Hunterdon County).

One of the 3 registered Koenigsegg Ageras in Singapore. This Chilli Red Agera RS 'Refinement' has been upgraded with the Koenigsegg One:1's 1Megawatt powertrain and exhaust, an RSR active rear wing, additional canards and a roof scoop.
Pitcairn carefully introduced refinements of line and proportion in the form of curved and off-center alignments. These departures from symmetry can be large, yet subtle; angles are not always right angles, and what appears to be a straight line may in fact be softly bowed. The curves and asymmetries please the eye without calling undue attention to themselves. Glencairn's massive structure was thereby given the warmth and charm of a home.
The holes for the door latch buttons were too big and the buttons were not centered. I spent some time looking for a bushing or similar that would fit tight around the button. The cardboard tubes used to package fly paper turned out to be an exact fit.

Nike has just released their latest refinement to the Metcon Flyknit line. Let’s talk about the Nike Metcon Flyknit 3.
How does the Nike Metcon Flyknit 3 stack up versus the very popular Nike Metcon 4? Which is the right CrossFit training shoe for you?
The Nike Metcon line are intended to be cross training shoes – and more specifically these are CrossFit training shoes (even if they aren’t legally allowed to brand them as such.)
And as you know that means lifting heavy weights – both of the Olympic and powerlifting variety, running, jumping, rope climbs, and more.
These shoes have all the great features of the Nike Metcon line - plus FlyKnit material.
They’ve added synthetic overlays in high-wear areas such as the toe and lateral side to enhance durability.
It has also borrowed a bit from the Nike Free X Metcon. It’s got an even more bootie-like fit and appeal as compared to it’s predecessor.

Porsche has a history of continuous refinement dating back to the first days of automobile production and the Pre-A 356 was no exception. One of the changes to this body style was going from a 'split windshield' that had two pieces of glass separated by a metal strip drown the center to this model referred to as the 'bent windshield.
