Karnak 2002
This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’. The temple at Karnak. The human measure.
The B4 retouch series
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. All of them are not completely retouched yet. Scratches, dust and stains are not removed. Shot with Nikon F90 on KodakTriX, scanned from film and edited using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a bigger version
Stonehenge Digital
England, Stonehenge – August 2006
This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’. In August 2006 I was lucky to visit the inside of Stonehenge at sunrise. It was rather cloudy but it was a beautiful experience to be within the circles of stone, without crowds of people around.

Luxor Temple – 2002
This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’. View on the Luxor Temple, with in the back ground the Nile at sunset. On the left one of the obelisks can still be seen, the one that used to be on the right is now in Paris on the Place de la Concorde.

Little Chapel – Naxos 1983
This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’; I use an old photo that I also published in October 2021 of a little chapel in Naxos that could do with some tender loving care for lens artistists challenge #168: seen better days. I edited it with a lighter atmosphere and took out the most obvious dust and scratches this time, so if you want to compare, here is that post.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but still, like most of the archive, do have scratches, dust and stains.
The picture was originally shot with Pentax K1000 on Kodak Plusx, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Zijl
How much more Dutch can a landscape be? Flat, low horizon, water, boat and windmill. and Water Lillies as a substitute for tulips 😂. De Zijl near Leiden.

Peter Gabriel Amsterdam
Some iPhone shots of the Amsterdam show of the i/o tour, a fabulous show of Peter Gabriel and his wonderful band. The artwork was amazing to watch, each song got a different artful backdrop. When you are 73 years old and still able to touch people this way, creating new work.
Visiting concerts like this makes me dream of being able to bring a proper camera and shoot it from the front of the stage and backstage as a concert photographer. That would be wonderful and challenging. Now it is a look from the distance meeting the limitations of the iPhone; which is by itself a really remarkable camera.

Sunset
Lens Artist Photo Challenge #250 (hurray) is ‘Cloudscapes or Skyscapes’.
Living in a land flat as a pancake, makes one used to see a low horizon and lots of sky. Hence we do not pay too much attention to it probably, if it’s blue it’s fine, if it’s grey there is a lot of grey. The only exception are sunrises and sunsets. They can be majestic.

Mill at Night
A bit of a ‘a bit of this, a bit of that on a junk pile shot’. Molen De Valk in Leiden, the entrance of an underground parking, a lamplight and a building crane. Still there is some magic in it.

Hill of Tara and Stone of Scone and Coronation Chair
The Hill of Tara was the location for the inauguration of the High Kings of Ireland. The candidate should lay his hand on the stone, and if earth roared in acceptance, the candidate should be King. The present stone is not the original one. The original Lia Fáil (Irish for “stone of destiny”) used at Tara for inaugurating the High Kings of Ireland, was taken by the King of Scotland and move to Scone. In 1296, during the First Scottish War of Independence, King Edward I of England took the stone as spoils of war and removed it to Westminster Abbey, where it was fitted into a wooden chair – known as the Coronation Chair or King Edward’s Chair – on which most subsequent English and then British sovereigns have been crowned. For the full story I refer to Wikipedia’s Stone of Scone.
