Again, the scene is the medieval castle of Berkhamsted, or what is left of it, and, to the left, the gatehouse of 1865. What I am experimenting with is "sky replacement". The actual sky was boring and featureless. Now, is this an editorial 'emergency' that entitles you to take drastic steps to 'improve' the image? I wonder what people feel about it.
Not real. Luminar Sky replacement test. Photo actually taken during day. You can make out the distant mountains aren’t masking the sky very well, but overall the Auto Sky replacement works pretty good for one click. The waves would also look very different under a long exposure.
When I was in San Miguel a few years back, this otherwise charming alley was defaced with ugly graffiti. I was happy to find that, now, there are a number of artistic/more pleasant renderings and murals along the way.

This is Nantygwyllt Church, built beside one of the Elan Valley reservoirs as a replacement for a church which was drowned by the water. Fascinating display of photos inside from the time when the reservoirs were built in the early 20th century.
HWW!
New/Replacement modular building for Fair Isle Bird Observatory to replace the one which burnt down and was made in Orkney and like these was a modular building. The Modules have been built in the North of England and have been transported to Orkney by the Eemslift Ellen imo. 9671474 from Grimsby and are being hauled to temporary storage here in Orkney by Heddle Haulage.
Please see my album about the Fair Isle Bird Observatory which burned down and was made and transported from Orkney in August 2009 flic.kr/s/aHsmQM3Jb1
I couldn't help it. I got up early and the scene was great except the sky was cloudier than forecast and there was no color at sunrise, so I replaced it. This is the Pagoda in Patterson Park, Baltimore, Maryland
Hoveberg Castle
Hoveberg Castle was built in 1896. During the First World War it was completely destroyed by a fire. At that time, about a hundred men of the Belgian army were billeted there.
In 1920 it was completely rebuilt.
Since 1981, the castle and its surroundings have been a protected village sight.
Hoveberg Castle was restored in 1988 and since then has been serving as a family replacement home for people with disabilities.
--------------------------
Kasteel Hoveberg werd gebouwd in 1896. Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd het volledig vernield door een brand. Op dat moment waren er een honderdtal manschappen van het Belgische leger ingekwartierd.
In 1920 werd het weer helemaal opgebouwd.
Sinds 1981 vormt het landhuis met zijn omgeving een beschermd dorpsgezicht.
Kasteel Hoveberg werd in 1988 gerestaureerd en doet vanaf dan dienst als gezinsvervangend tehuis voor mensen met een beperking.

Here is a photo from the archives that I may have never of posted if not for the new Photoshop "sky replacement" tool. The sky in this plane photo before the sky replacement was a very boring light blue sky. My kids got me a years subscription to the online photoshop and just getting around to see what it has to offer. This is my first attempt and there are some adjustments that I still have to learn.
I feel a little "dirty" replacing a sky in one of my photos, never really done that before. In doing this it brings a lot of questions to my photo and photography in general.
Should replacing a sky even be allowed and still call it a photo or is it now more a piece if art?
In the future do I need to acknowledge that the sky was replaced in a photo or say nothing? If I take and post a photo that has an amazing sky do I need now to say that the sky was not replaced?
Is it OK to use someone else skies in your photo or just use one that you created? This is my own sky shot in this photo.
Please give me you opinion in the comments below.
Thanks and have a great Sunday!!
With replacement front grab irons and a tiny little vinyl covered seat on the platform, UP SD45 No. 19 appears ready for a one-way trip to a scrapyard, parked in Salt Lake City on Nov. 3, 1985. The cab was removed and transplanted to wreck damaged SD40-2 No. 3584. The faded, hand written lettering on a sign mounted to the front handrail appears to read “Windshield”.
I was very excited today to try the new sky replacement tool in Photoshop. This is an image I took in Iceland which had a very dull gray sky. With very little effort, I was able to replace the sky with a more interesting one.
The new tool is very powerful and has features I have yet to learn for minimizing halo's at the horizon.
VT 407 der Kreisbahn Mansfelder Land fährt am trutzigen Dorf Biesenrode vorbei in Richtung Klostermansfeld. Es war der letzte Tag der Wipperliese im Regelbetrieb und keiner ahnte damals, dass nur wenige Tage später ein Konzept für einen touristischen Verkehr aus der Taufe gehoben wird und so auch heute noch Züge durch das romantische Wippertal fahren.
Heading towards Klostermansfeld VT 407 from Kreisbahn Mansfelder Land passes the village of Biesenrode on a sunny spring day in 2015. It seemed to be the final day of operation on the line, replacement of the trains by busses was already decided and track works were necessary. But things turned out differently, only a couple of days later a concept for seasonal touristic operation was developed and thus trains run through the romantic Wipper valley even today.
The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official residence of the King of Spain; However, the royal family does not live there, but rather in the Zarzuela Palace, which is why it is used for state ceremonies and solemn events.
With an area of 135,000 m² and 3,418 rooms (almost double that of Buckingham Palace or the Palace of Versailles, it is the largest royal palace in Western Europe and one of the largest in the world. It houses a valuable historical heritage- artistic, highlighting the set of musical instruments known as the Stradivarius Palatinos, and very relevant collections of other disciplines such as painting, sculpture and tapestry. The State rooms and artistic ,collections are open to visits as long as there are no official events.
The palace was built by order of King Philip V, on the site left by the Royal Alcázar, almost completely destroyed by a fire in 1734. Both the foundations of the old fortress and some of its structures were used for the construction of the new palace. The fire episode served to justify the replacement of the old building with a palace in accordance with the taste of the time. Its construction began in 1738, according to plans by the architect Filippo Juvara, who proposed a larger palace, but in a different location. When Juvara died, the project was entrusted to his disciple Juan Bautista Sachetti, who was required to adapt Juvara's plans to the site of the old Alcázar. Other distinguished Spanish architects such as Ventura Rodríguez participated and were trained in the quarry of the new palace; the configuration of the Royal Chapel is due to him. Francesco Sabatini was in charge of the completion of the building, as well as secondary renovation, expansion and decoration works. Charles III was the first monarch to continuously inhabit the palace.

For a bit of fun, the same photo as the previous one but with Luminar 4 sky replacement. I prefer to keep my skies original, but thought this a good one to experiment with.
After our Dolomites hike last September, we spent four nights in Venice, staying in the Cannaregio area. On our first night not far from where we were staying.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660

Following the old IC branch west of Rantoul, IL, my friends and I were hoping to find the rare GP28 owned by the elevator here in Dewey. We were a bit surprised to see this ex CNW GP50 instead. The Co-Op still owns the GP28, which is parked in the barn with mechanical issues and from what we understand, is for sale.

“Replacement Bus Service”. Those three dreaded words you never want to hear when you’re on the train in Britain and the railway is subject to weekend engineering works. There’s a replacement bus needed here. But I wonder why there was a bus service at all on a road that went to nowhere.

A newly installed wooden plank on a bridge at the Adelaide Botanic Garden. The bridge was new to me but had obviously been around long enough to warrant replacement parts.
"Eyeglasses are the replacement windows to the world!"
~ a friend
Did you ever have one of those days... where the nose piece from your eyeglasses falls into your hand? That was how (my) last Friday started... LOL...
Well, maybe my vision is not this bad... but, without wearing my glasses, there are times when looking at things is becoming a challenge!

These two are pretty good. Don't eat or need heat, shots, licenses, tags and don't use litter. Don't claw furniture. They don't play either. But they fill a void for now.
The little calico came from a lady named Jane Boyle from Princeton Telecommunications in NJ and neither of us remembers where the orange ceramic tabby came from but he has piercing green eyes.

The first power from the start up that WC tried to replace was the 17 ex Soo GP30's. The 1948 Alco FA trucks they rode on were a pain and the group had never been rebuilt and there was some concern about "crispy" wiring in the electrical cabinets. Only three of the group received the full WC paint scheme which was a shame because they looked damn good in it. 713 leads one of its would be replacements on an X35 at Gould City. Most of these units were retired as the GP40's came on board but due to a nearly chronic power shortage a number of them were soon back in service. Five of them managed to stay in service until 2000 and IIRC three actually operated for a few weeks after the CN take over. 713 was one of the last to go. This was shot in December 1990 and at the time I'd already made peace with the fact I wasn't going to have many more GP30 opportunities...wrong again😊. It is Thirty Thursday, a rescan.
In October, November and December 2011, engineering works closed both the Exmouth Branch Line and the line between Exeter and Honiton.

I still occasionally stop by this group of abandoned houses for a shot or two. On this day, I was interested in windows.
One last frame of this picture perfect scene from off the Fore River Parkway overpass.
After L070 cleared headed back east to Waterville the extra got their turn to continue their turn.
The MBTA Office Car Special (OCS) running as Amtrak train P933 slithers thru MOUNTAIN interlocking, MP PLD11.7 on modern day CSXT's Portland Sub, the former CPF196 on the old Pan Am Freight Main on what was once the rails of Maine Central subsidiary Portland Terminal Company.
Having turned their train to orient it back west, they shoved out of Yard 8 and across both mainlines and have entered the Mountain Branch headed up to the Portland Transportation Center where Amtrak's Downeasters presently stop. This long telephoto view pulls in and highlights the vintage searchlight signals guarding the interlocking which are slated for replacement soon.
The train is lead by GP40MCs 1129 and 1136, the former in its one a kind 'cranberry' heritage scheme and the latter one of three in MassDOT blue. Trailing are four cars: bringing up the rear is brand new theater car number 535 (former 1515) named 'Mayflower', and ahead of it are office cars number 529 'Constitution' and number 525 'Minuteman' and on the head pin is 534 (former 1503), one of two specially wrapped revenue geometry cars (only along to meet timetable minimum axle requirements). All four cars are rebuilt 500-series MBBs, among the few survivors of a fleet of 67 cars (33 blind and 34 cab control) built new in Germany in 1987-88.
The train made the rare off line trip from Boston North Station to here and back with officials from the MBTA, Keolis, Amtrak, CSXT and NNEPRA on board to look at and discuss present and future capital projects to upgrade and increase capacity for a future increase in Downeaster service.

The Wawona Covered Bridge, crossing the waters of the south fork of the Merced river, in Yosemite National Park. Yes, I had to get wet to get this shot. But it was a hot day in late spring, and therefore welcome.
"The bridge was built by Galen Clark, the steward of what was then called the Yosemite Grant, in 1868, without its cladding. The bridge was a major component of Clark's proposed new road from Wawona to the Yosemite Valley. Clark was unable to complete the road, which he sold to the Washburn Group of investors along with the Wawona Hotel. The Washburn Group completed the road to the Yosemite Valley in 1879. It is one of twelve remaining covered bridges in California. The modified queen post truss was covered with Douglas fir cladding in 1878, enclosing the Ponderosa pine structure and its iron tie rods. The bridge served automobile traffic until 1937, when a new bridge was built about 200 metres (660 ft) to the southwest. The bridge was repaired by Civilian Conservation Corps labor the same year. In 1955 the bridge was damaged by flooding. Marked for replacement on account of the damage and its poor general condition, the bridge was instead reconstructed after National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint intervened in its favor. Work was funded as part of the Park Service's Mission 66 program, using the bridge as the centerpiece of an interpretive exhibit on the history of the Wawona area. The Pioneer Yosemite History Center was established nearby. The bridge was repaired, with damaged elements replaced in kind. Since 1957 the bridge has had a number of repairs and replacements as materials have deteriorated." [Wikipedia]

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
I have passed this corner ever since I moved into the neighborhood and there was an old bench there which I also have posted... But when I went to the store the other day there was a new one there.. So glad because I didn't think that old bench would even hold a grown up anymore... Happy Bench Monday, Everybody!!!!
An empty train is approaching the Minntac Sub as it cruises through a frigid and slightly snowy Wolf as the new shit stands tall around the sentinels of yesterday.
