@Gerald Cafferty this work fills me with curiosity and imagination. What is this mound, and what is on the other side. Who built it and who walks the trail? Is this something with secrets and magic? What about barrow wraiths? Well done!

Corporate Gold
Canon 400D/XTi

So I am busy rooting through old image folders and trying to catalog and organize things. I fear that it is a project that will never be done, but the digging turns up images I have not looked at in many years. This one really surprised me for what it is.

Taken in 2012 with a Rebel XTi and a decent zoom lens, this corporate headquarters is located somewhere between Memphis and Nashville. Pretty precise, right? Anyway the day was fading, a storm moving in from the east, and a spectacular sunset to the west. Apparently there was a gold tint to the windows as part of the architectural vision, and hit by the fading light literally glowed with warm fire.

So here tis. The only real post involved concerns the histogram levels and denoising with Nik 6 DFine. As the original format is JPG, Adobe's tools fail the mark.

And at a native 10MP, I kind of scratch my head about the 40MP Fuji I am toting around today...

Hi Patrick, it does look like it could be man made but I can find no evidence for this. It is situated in the North Moors National Park and barrows and the like are indicated on the Ordnance Survey Maps, It is in the area of Falling Foss a well known waterfall.
