The low light of the winter afternoon sun allowed this beautiful silhouette picture of the Great Church of Dordrecht or Dordrecht Minster. It is the great late-medieval city church, also called St. Mary-Church at the time. It is a protestant church since the Reformation, Dordrecht being one of the centres of Dutch calvinism. The famous Synod of Dordrecht, so important for the strictly orthodox character of the Dutch Reformed Church, was held in this town in 1618/19. The harbour basin you see in front is the so-called “Nieuw Harbour”, actually a harbour from the 16th century. It was empty of boats this afternoon due to some repair work. So the reflections were all the more impressive, I feel. You may wonder what that funny construction right of the tower is. Well, it is part of the railway-bridge across the river. I could have photoshopped it out of the picture, but that is not my way. Dordrecht, 15th January 2009, 4.02 pm / Panasonic DMC-TZ3, 4,6-46 mm at 7,8 mm / F 10, 1/320, ISO 100

I called this ‘HDR Sunrise’ because that was what it was!!! An amazing sight. I’ve tweaked it a bit to enhance the colours and remove some of the blue colour cast but the original tells the tale…. This time nature did the HDR – not me!! / Corio Bay in Geelong just before sunrise on a rare (lately) still morning. / Taken with my Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 12-24mm wide-angle lens

The building made up of the Hermitage (also called Montesiepi’s Round) and of the ruins of the big St. Galgano’s Cistercian Abbey, is one of the most enchanting views in Tuscany.Only in 1218/1220 began the construction of the big Abbey downhill.The building went on until 1268, when the Abbey was officially consecrated by Volterra’s Bishop Alberto SolariThe Abbey knew 100 years of great prosperity until 1364, then followed a slow decline due to the unfortunate Commenda’s practice.Despite some attempts to bring back the monastery into use at the end of 1789, after that Montesiepi’s Round had been put up in Pieve, the big abbey was deconsecrated and left for good to lie in ruin.While Montesiepi’s Round, thanks to his Sword in the stone, bring us back to the Arthurian Saga, the big Abbey offers us others “musical” and “Egyptian” surprises, through his Sacred Geometry.

The town takes its name from a temple erected in the roman times in honour of Venere Ericina, on the promontory where the church of San Pietro now stands.It is said that the little church of San Pietro, which is located on the promontory overlooking the Island of Palmaria, was built over the ancient temple of Venere Ericina, or over a slightly less ancient Palaeo-Christian church. In 1256, Portovenere helped Genova to reclaim Lerici from Pisa, and the church was said to have been erected as a thank-you from the Genevans. Built in the genevan-gothic style, the church was finally completed in 1277. The building consists of two parts; a twin lancet bell tower built of chequered black and white stone, and a rectangular building topped with a semicircular apse. The two areas are united by two pointed archways. The interior features a vaulted wooden ceiling and a presbytery divided into three chapels and covered by a pointed cross-vault ceiling.

BEST VIEWED LARGER Thank you for your views, comments and favouritings / Right Spot – CHECK / No Boats – CHECK / Enough Cloud – CHECK / That Consistency to the Water – CHECK / Lights in varying colours – Check / Reflections on Water – Check / Run for the D300 and the tripod – DEFINITELY Caught a range of shots on this Friday morning reached my vantage point about 5.30am. I saw these reflections and ran for the camera. Sydney Harbour like a mill pond before the many vessels start their morning trips and disturbing it’s surface. The other factor is that look to the water surface that landscape photographers might know it’s like a oily look to the water that lends itself to wonderful reflective surface. It took many shots of Sydney Harbour this morning, if, and you should have seen the sunrise that followed . WAIT ! yes i have photos of that as well.

Artistic and Ethno-Anthropological of Italy HDR processed in Dynamic-Photo HDR with 5 RAW image -2 -1 0 +1 +2 , then processed using CS4 – Tripod Manfrotto 055XB + 468MG Ball Head Nikon D300 Nikon 12/24 Devil’s Bridge Il ponte della Maddalena unisce le due sponde del fiume Serchio all’altezza del paese di Borgo a Mozzano. La sua costruzione risale ai tempi della Contessa Matilde di Canossa (1046-1115), che ebbe grossa influenza e potere su questa zona della Toscana, la Garfagnana, ma il suo aspetto attuale è dovuto alla ricostruzione effettuata da Castruccio Castracani (1281-1328), condottiero e signore della vicina Lucca, nei primi anni del 1300. L’aspetto del ponte è quello medievale classico a ‘schiena d’asino’, con la differenza, che qui diventa caratteristica unica, che le sue arcate sono asimmetriche e quella centrale è talmente alta e ampia che la sua solidità sembra una sfida alla legge di gravità. Il ponte è comunemente chiamato ‘del Diavolo’ in forza di una leggenda popolare della zona, rinforzata dall’aspetto scombinato del ponte: un capo muratore aveva iniziato a costruirlo ma ben presto si accorse che non sarebbe riuscito a completare l’opera per il giorno fissato e preso dalla paura delle possibili conseguenze si rivolse al Maligno chiedendo aiuto al fine di terminare il lavoro. Il Diavolo accettò di completare il ponte in una notte in cambio dell’anima del primo passante che lo avesse attraversato. Il patto fu siglato ma il costruttore, pieno di rimorso, si confesso con un religioso della zona che lo consigliò di far attraversare il ponte per primo ad un porco. Il Diavolo fu così beffato e scomparve nelle acque del fiume. This bridge is known by three names; the first being Ponte di Matilde di Canossa as it was named after the great Countess Matilde. Secondly it’s known as Ponte della Maddalena. Thirdly, and most importantly, it’s known as il Ponte del Diavolo.We’re in the hills around Lucca, a setting where many fairytales and stories are set, but above all, where Satan is felt more than anything else. The bridge was made by a poor builder, and due to some unforeseen circumstance, the bridge fell apart. The builder was in despair because it had to be finished the next day for the local authorities and he knew that it was impossible to get this massive project finished in time. However, all of sudden, to his delight, he was offered a lifeline! A huge creature appeared with hoof like feet and black skin, who revealed himself to be the Devil. He pledged to get the bridge finished in time for the builder’s deadline, but for doing this, the Devil wanted the spirit of the first person to cross the bridge. The builder was so desperate to save his own skin, he agreed to this outrageous deal.The following morning, as promised the bridge was completely finished, in all it’s magnificent detail and glory. The builder, overcome with emotion, threw himself to the feet of the Bishop of Lucca and confessed everything. The Bishop then made a pig cross the bridge before anyone else could and it trottered accross. The Devil then came to collect his fee, and was absolutely furious to discover that he had been conned. He was so angry that he created a huge hole below the bridge, in the hope that if the bridge broke, people would become trapped in the hole.This isn’t the only Devil Bridge in Italy, it is said, that Satan also worked hard to manipulate many bridges in the North of Italy too. But who knows? It is quite weird that after nearly a thousand years, the bridge has had no need for any restoration works at all, especially since the water which it crosses is known for being quite violent, and often floods the riverbanks.The answer to this is its actual construction, it is a brilliantly made bridge, and without going into the technicalities, is an extremely strong bridge. The legend says though, that the Devil is still waiting for his payment, and if someone stays on the bridge too long, say, to admire the water flow, the water will come up, and wash them away, finally giving the Devil his payment of one human soul.
