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!

I haven't been really inspired to take any photos lately. Here is one I took recently in my backyard.
I hope all my Flickr friends had a great holiday. 2023 is right around the corner, I only have two months left of my Flickr pro subscription and I'm not too sure I'm going to renew it. I just don't feel it's worth it anymore as I don't do much photography these days apart from random photos like this once in a while so I'm trying to scale back.
A water pump in Lewes, Sussex.
Created in 1874 by subscription, meaning it was built or created through donations or payments made by a group of people. I can't find any info to show how long it was used for, but it's good to see the cup on its chain is still there.
It looks to have been restored at some point during the 1800s as well, but it's difficult to see the date.
The bulk of the international trade was too much for him.So he decided, on the first harbour they would arrive, he would finally quit.Nothing would stop him.

On December 26th, 2005 I was flying from Saigon, Vietnam into Bangkok, Thailand. I had been covering the AIDS epidemic as well as poverty and urban slums for the past two months from both Cambodia and Vietnam and was looking forward to a week of down time with friends. The Asian Tsunami struck only moments before my plane landed in Bangkok and I was on one of the first flights to Phuket the next day. I covered the devastation from both Thailand and Sri Lanka during the following weeks. As an ex disaster specialist I still had many friends working in the filed all over the world at that time and in the year following the Tsunami I kept in close contact with them. Only months after the Tsunami struck, I began to hear stories, as I expected, of how western money coupled with the tourism industry was rebuilding Thailand with record speed while Sri Lanka and Banda Aceh, Indonesia were left with few resources. Slightly ahead of the one year anniversary of the Asian Tsunami, I decided to return to Thailand where I re-shot each image taken the year before from the exact same angle at nearly the same time of day. Unfortunately I was not able to get the funding necessary to do the same comparison project in Sri Lanka. It was another example demand and marketing concerns dictating what news reaches the public, and at the time my resources were limited by what editors and publications would pay me to shoot, as I had not yet discovered independent journalism.

Frederiksborg castle is a castle in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV, and is now known as The Museum of National History. The current building replaced a previous castle erected by Frederick II, and is the largest Renaissance palace in Scandinavia. The palace is located on three small islands in the middle of Palace Lake, (Danish, Slotsø), and is adjoined by a large, baroque formal garden.
The oldest parts of the castle date back to 1560, and were built by King Frederick II, after whom the palace is named.
Most of the current palace, however, was built from 1602 to 1620 by Christian IV using Dutch architects, Hans and Lorents van Steenwinckel, and follows the Dutch style favoured by Christian IV for his new buildings in Copenhagen.
After Christian IV's death in 1648, the palace was used mainly for ceremonial events, primarily the anointing and crowning of the Absolute Monarchs in the palace church. The following Danish kings and queens were crowned here:
1671: Christian V and Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel
1700: Frederick IV and Louise of Mecklenburg-Güstrow
1721: Anna Sophia, consort of Frederick IV
1731: Christian VI and Sophia Magdalena of Brandenburg-Kulmbach
1747: Frederick V and Louise of Great Britain
1752: Juliana Maria of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, consort of Frederick V
1815: Frederick VI and Marie of Hesse-Kassel
1840: Christian VIII and Caroline Amalie of Schleswig-Holstein
Since 1693 the church has also been used as Knight's Chapel for the Order of the Elephant and the Order of the Dannebrog.
The palace was also used to house the royal family's art collection; as a result, it came to be regarded as a national monument.
In 1720, the Treaty of Frederiksborg was signed here.
In 1850s, the palace was again used as a residence by King Frederick VII. During the night of December 16-17, 1859, while he was in residence, a fire destroyed a large part of the main palace's interior. Reconstruction was funded by public subscription, with large contributions from the King, state and the prominent philanthropist J. C. Jacobsen of Carlsberg Brewery, who also provided funds to establish the The Museum of National History [1] that now occupies Frederiksborg. A large collection of notable paintings by the Danish painter Carl Heinrich Bloch are in the palace. Commissioned for the palace, these paintings largely depict the life of Jesus Christ.
Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra (now Countess of Frederiksborg) were married in the Palace Church.

Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Prudence, Col de Iseran, Savoie, Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes, France.
La capilla Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Prudence es una capilla católica situada en el Col de l'Iseran, en el municipio de Bonneval-sur-Arc, a aproximadamente 2.770 m sobre el nivel del mar1.
Nace cerca de la carretera que pasa por el puerto de montaña más alto de Francia, para conectar los valles de Maurienne y Tarentaise.
Fue construido poco después de la apertura de la carretera inaugurada por el Presidente de la República Albert Lebrun el 10 de julio de 1937, por iniciativa del obispo de Maurienne, Mons. Auguste Grumel. Su proyecto había sido apoyado por el Papa Pío XI, que había practicado el montañismo.
Terminado en 1939, fue construido según los planos del arquitecto saboyano Maurice Novarina y de la empresa que había trazado la carretera. El edificio es de piedra local y el tejado de pizarra. Las dos estatuas de la Virgen son del escultor Edgar Delvaux.
La financiación se logró mediante suscripciones y donaciones privadas, incluida la del Vaticano. La bendición de la capilla por parte del obispo tuvo lugar el 20 de agosto de 1939.
Tiene la etiqueta “Patrimonio del siglo XX”.
The Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Prudence chapel is a Catholic chapel located on the Col de l'Iseran, in the municipality of Bonneval-sur-Arc, approximately 2,770 m above sea level1.
It begins near the road that passes through the highest mountain pass in France, to connect the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys.
It was built shortly after the opening of the road inaugurated by the President of the Republic Albert Lebrun on July 10, 1937, at the initiative of the bishop of Maurienne, Mons. Auguste Grumel. His project had been supported by Pope Pius XI, who had practiced mountaineering.
Completed in 1939, it was built according to the plans of the Savoyard architect Maurice Novarina and the company that had laid out the road. The building is made of local stone and the roof is slate. The two statues of the Virgin are by the sculptor Edgar Delvaux.
Financing was achieved through subscriptions and private donations, including from the Vatican. The blessing of the chapel by the bishop took place on August 20, 1939.
It is labeled “20th Century Heritage”.
Earl Grey Tower on Stanton Moor near the Nine Ladies stone circle, dates back to 1832, and was built by Lieutenant Colonel Thornhill, by public subscription to mark Earl Grey's electoral reform bill that gave the right to vote to all men.

The National Wallace Monument (generally known as the Wallace Monument) is a 67m tower on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking Stirling in Scotland. It commemorates Sir William Wallace, a 13th- and 14th-century Scottish hero.
The tower was constructed following a fundraising campaign, which accompanied a resurgence of Scottish national identity in the 19th century. In addition to public subscription, it was partially funded by contributions from a number of foreign donors, including Italian national leader Giuseppe Garibaldi.
The foundation stone was laid in 1861 by the Duke of Atholl in his role as Grand Master Mason of Scotland. Completed in 1869 to the designs of architect John Thomas Rochead at a cost of £18,000, the monument is a sandstone tower, built in the Victorian Gothic style.
The tower stands on the Abbey Craig, a volcanic crag above Cambuskenneth Abbey, from which Wallace was said to have watched the gathering of the army of King Edward I of England just before the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. Visitors climb the 246-step spiral staircase to the viewing gallery inside the monument's crown, which provides expansive views of the Ochil Hills and the Forth Valley as well as the battlefield (to the right above).
In the trees on the lower edge of the image directly below the monument can be seen Stirling Old Bridge, constructed on rubble foundations around 1500, which replaced earlier wooden bridges, including that on which the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought. The bridge originally had arches at either end and a defensive gate at the end nearer the burgh. Tolls were levied on goods being taken across the bridge. In December 1745 General Blakeney, Lieutenant Governor of Stirling Castle, had one of the bridge arches destroyed to hinder the movement of the Jacobite Army. The destroyed arch was rebuilt in 1749. In May 1833 the adjacent new road bridge was opened to traffic and the Old Bridge was closed to wheeled traffic. The bridge was designated as a Category A Listed Building in 1965.
A very touristic photo, taken from atop Stirling Castle, with the Ochil Hills providing the backdrop. The hike up to the monument from its car park is fairly steep (although there is a shuttle bus for those who wish to avail themselves of it), but the climb up the internal circular staircase to the top of the monument is a real tester for the thighs...

Recently restored Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Subscription Club Car no. 2454 is seen on the end of the Whippany Railway Museum's excursion train on May 19, 2024, during the museum's 175th Anniversary of the CNJ event. Originally built by Barney & Smith in 1912 as open platform subscription car 484, the car was converted to a vestibule-equipped multiple unit (MU) trailer in the 1930s by American Car & Foundry. It was one of only five MU subscription cars built for the railroad, and operated on a service between Hoboken and Gladstone catering to the wealthy members of the club. Notably the car was the only Lackawanna MU to ever receive air conditioning, and was the lead car on multiple farewell runs for these cars, including the very last NJ Transit train that used the Lackawanna MUs in 1984. Car 2454 was acquired by the United Railway Historical Society of NJ, which began restoration of it in 2014. Exterior restoration was completed by 2018 and the car was moved to Whippany in 2019, where interior restoration would take place, coming to completion in 2021.

Dear friends I wanted to share a recent publication of mine in Onlandscape magazine for which I have become a contributor. The article requires a paid subscription to the magazine and is an essay on the "art of seeing". Hope you enjoy reading it.

Staines Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Square, Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey, England. The town hall, which briefly served as the headquarters of Spelthorne Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building.
The original building in the Market Square was a medieval market hall in which Sir Walter Raleigh was committed for trial in Winchester in 1603. After a decline in the use of the market hall which ultimately led to its closure in 1862, the vestry board decided to demolish the old building and to procure a new town hall.
The new building, which was financed by public subscription, was designed by John Johnson in the Renaissance style and completed in 1880. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto the Market Square; the central bay featured a porch with Tuscan order columns supporting an entablature and a balcony above; there were five round headed windows forming an arcade on the first floor with medallions in the spandrels between the windows. At roof level there were dormer windows projected out of a steep roof with a platform on which there was a clock tower with a weather vane. The clock was designed and manufactured by Gillett & Bland of Croydon. Internally, the principal rooms were the courtroom, which became known as the "Debenham Room", at the front of the building on the first floor and a full-height assembly hall, which featured a proscenium arch at the back of the building.
The building became the headquarters of Staines Urban District Council, when it was formed in 1894 and briefly remained as the local seat of government when the enlarged Spelthorne Borough Council was formed in 1974. However, its civic role ceased when the council moved to Knowle Green in 1976. The assembly hall continued to be used for concerts and public meetings and the courtroom was used for scenes in the film, Gandhi, directed and produced by Sir Richard Attenborough, which was released in 1982.
In the early 1990s, the building was converted into an arts centre which was officially opened by the actor, Kenneth Branagh, on 15 April 1994. However, the arts centre was not a commercial success and, after it closed in 1999, the building was converted into a wine bar in 2004. In 2005, a plaque was unveiled on the wall of the wine bar to commemorate the bicentenary of the 20th stop that Lieutenant John Richards Lapenotière, of HMS Pickle, made on his journey to report the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The wine bar was not a success either and, after changing ownership several times, it closed in 2012. Following approval of a planning application in January 2018, the building was converted into thirteen residential apartments.
On the other side of the Market Square is the war memorial. It is made from Portland stone and has a two stepped base surmounted by a square double plinth and winged figure of Victory holding aloft a torch. An inscription in black lettering is on the sides of the plinth. Arms come from the base of the plinth with a figure of a serviceman standing on each one. The figures are: a soldier in field kit with rifle; sailor in day rig with signal flags; airman in flying rig; and marine in field kit with rifle stand on the arms.

The Grade II* Listed Ellis Windmill on Mill Road in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
At one time nine windmills stood along the west face of Mill Road over the steep slopes of the Lincoln Edge, these days only Ellis Windmill which was built in 1798 remains. There are documentary references to mills along the road from the early 16th century.
Tower mill of 3 floors with 4 sails, ogee domed wooden cap and fantail. Construction of brick painted black. Door on ground level. Horizontally sliding square windows with stone sills and segmental arches. G W Whitton in 1918, when a garage was added to the complex, and gas was being used. Mill was still in working order in 1940, but lost its sails in 1941, when Frank Ellis was the miller.
The Mill remained fully operational until it fell into receivership in 1973 and in 1974 a fire destroyed all of the remaining woodwork. In 1977 the Lincoln Civic Trust acquired the mill and began its reconstruction, led by Chris Salisbury, millwright.
A cap mechanism was acquired from ‘Subscription Mill’ in Sturton-by-Stow and the stones and drives from ‘Eno’s Mill’ at Toynton-all-Saints and the sails and fantail were made by Thompson and Co from Alford. The reconstruction was completed in 1980 and milling began again in 1981. Lincolnshire County Council took it over in 1995.
The brick foundations of an ancillary building in the north-east part of the site were recorded in 2006, along with a short length of brick wall and a stone wall or foundation immediately north of the mill. Ellis Mill remains a working mill producing flour and is open to the public on Saturday afternoons.

Built in 1813 by a local farmer to mill grain, this mill has 3 floors and was built to a Lincolnshire style. It has 4 sails and an Ogee cap with an 8 bladed fantail.
There are 3 sets of mill stones, 2 of which are wind driven and 1 set which are driven from an external engine.
In 1884 the mill was extended and gained an extra floor.
The windmill has continued to work from the day it was built up to present day.

You have to love subscription boxes, especially when they involve film! In a recent box, came a plain foil wrapped roll in re-used backing paper. The information sheet only provided Rodinal times, but I matched them up to Ilford FP4+ and picked out Adox FX-39II and went to town. The results speak for themselves. Good contrast, super sharp, fine-grain, I say this is a winner.
