The Taj Mahal, one of those places that exceeds everything you’ve ever known about it, when you finally see it in person. It’s perfect. It was completed in 1650 in Islamic Northern India by Shah Jahan, as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died giving birth to her fourteenth child.

Lycian rock tombs in Myra, Turkey. / In ancient times the Lucian cut their tombs into the rocks. The Lycians seem to have held a belief that the souls of their dead would be transported from the tombs to the afterworld by a sort of winged siren-like creature, and so often placed their tombs along the coast or at the top of cliffs when they were not integrated into the liveable areas of the cities. / The tombs are dated to the 4th century BC.

Shot Thoughts & Background Info—- Fairmont Cemetery in Denver is one of my all time favorite places to shoot at, especially during the Autumn months. It is quite old with headstones dating to when Denver was barely even a city. Quite massive in size, many of the structures contained within it are fascinating examples of architectural style. For this shot, I really wanted something different, so when I was shooting it I made sure to use my Minolta 18-200 DT lens so I could go ultra wide and capture as much as I could I had an idea already in my head for the post work, and for the most part I think it works as I had planned. I really wanted something moody, heavy on the atmosphere, that provoked thought in people when they saw it. Something that made them stop and think for a second. HDR Processed. Shot Details Minolta 5D / Minolta 18-200 DT Lens 18mm | f10 | iso 200 | 1/200 | / Singh-Ray CPL / Processed through Lightroom, Photomatix for HDR, and then finally Photoshop Thoughts welcomed! —-John jdebordphoto.com

Image of a mausoleum door in a cemetery in Prague. This is an early morning HDR image, multiple bracketed exposures merged into one. The colors and lighting on the doors were just fantastic. I also like the barely visible Numbers 88 and 89 on each side of the doors. The almost brandnew padlock sticks out like a sore thumb, so does the weed in the lower right corner by the door. It’s amazing how much more detail you find when you really look at an image for awhile. HDR Images / Prague Images / Aviation Related Images

What a eerie, spooky place. This was taken in an old cemetery in Prague. It’s in an obvious state of neglect and totally delapitated. I created this HDR image in an attempt to capture the look and feel of this place. HDR Images / Prague Images / Aviation Related Images

Aram Pothier If Edward Harris signifies Woonsocket’s first industrial revolution, then Aram J. Pothier represents its second. / Born and educated in Quebec, Pothier joined his family in Woonsocket in 1872 at the age of 18 and took a job as a clerk in a grocery store. A bright young man, he was offered a position at the Woonsocket Institution for Savings three years later. Pothier worked hard to learn all facets of the banking business becoming a teller in 1889, Vice President in 1909 and President in 1913. Pothier remained President of the Woonsocket Institution for Savings until his death in 1928. He held a similar position with the Union Trust Company of Providence. Pothier began his political career in 1885 as a member of the Woonsocket School Board. After two terms in the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1887 and 1888, he was introduced to the world of multi-national finance in 1889 when Governor Taft asked him to be Rhode Island’s delegate to the Paris Trade Exhibition. Pothier had a profound impact on the State of Rhode Island. He reorganized the state’s financial structure making it more efficient, revamped the Port of Providence spurring the economic development of the Narragansett Bay and established the Rhode Island State Police. Pothier also fought for and a won a change from one to two year terms for state office holders. Pothier returned to statewide politics in 1908 when he was elected to his first term as Governor. He ran and was elected a total of seven times serving four one year and one two year terms from 1909 to 1915. He was elected again in 1924 and served until 1928. Pothier was serving his seventh term as Governor when he died in 1928. He lived much of his life at his house on Pond Street. He is buried in the Pothier Mausoleum in the Precious Blood Cemetery. A monument to him was recently erected outside of the Museum of Work & Culture. / Photo by LFR

A view from a previous photograph ‘Mausoleum’. Taken from the Mausoleum in the distance is ‘Wentworth Woodhouse’ a stately home in Wentworth , South Yorks. The Mausoleum is one of the follies belonging to the ‘Big House!’. / I have already got photgraphs in my portfolio of ‘The Needle’s Eye’ and ‘Hoober Stand’ other follies on the estate. Beyond the big house you can just make out the spire on Wentworth Church. I hope you like this, I am biased as I fell in love with this place today (15 June 08) and in my eyes it is wonderful!.

This Mausoleum is known as that of the God Bes, or Bisu. Honoured by the Phoenicians who set images of the bowlegged dwarf on their ships prows to ward off evil, and even earlier by the Egyptians. / / . / / . /

There is a road not often traveled now. Along its sides are mausoleums, one which dates to 1690’s, though admittedly the writing is barely visible now. These mausoleums are all but forgotten in the vast cemetery. The resting places now look out to see a highway down the slopes to the left. I cannot even imagine what these looked like in their original state.
