What country did you take this in? The lettering on the signs looks to be russian or something like that?
Definitely not cyrillic. It looks more like the picture was taken in Thailand or India to me

Not if he disables the password requirement to access the pic. He has to do it on his account at the Canon photography forum at POTN (photography-on-the.net/forum/etc.etc.) Or give someone the password to access his account there, which I don't see happening...![]()
Or, I guess we could sign up for an account ourselves and have access to the image... I'm not totally sure what all would be required. Some forums require you to be a member to download other folks work so it can be tracked or something like that.
AHHH! Really! I had no idea the link just wouldn't work without being logged-in to POTN (same site software as MR). That's excellent information to have. Okay. I'll try plan ... C - low res it out of LR to get under that photo size requirement and attach here. Thanks gents and my apologies for the mystery. Photo now attached - click for much larger version to come up.

9/11 was, of course, a terrible thing, but in the six and a half years since, Americans have, thankfully, been able to suppress the notion that we are constantly in danger.
In the Golan Heights - the mountainous intersection of Syria, Israel, and Lebanon - this simply is not the case. A year before this picture was taken, this mall was in the midst of a war zone, with rockets flying overhead daily. Even in the absence of international strife, there have been hundreds of suicide bombings in Israel since the mid 80s, leading to thousands of deaths - but more than that, it has resulted in the disruption of modern societal attitudes of what it means to be "safe".
At train stations or airports in America, if you see a member of the US armed forces standing guard, he or she is usually decked out in full combat attire. In the Middle East, the notion of violence disrupting daily life is so thoroughly ingrained that allowing soldiers to wear plain clothes is a way of normalizing life under the constant specter of war and terrorism.
So feel free to listen to your iPod, but remember - keep your M-16 ready.

Wow, I can't believe that old clock is still there. It's one of the many things I remember from my childhood growing up in SLC... Can't wait to see what they will do with the downtown area...I know it's too late, and that's OK since I hosted the last one. But here's my submission, took it last night and only got around to editing it about an hour ago. I wanted to show the contrast between old and new in the Downtown Salt Lake City area. There are tons of buildings from the early part of the 20th century, some even older than that, then there's the ultra modern buildings that are springing up everywhere. This is a shot of an old clock that's downtown, and the rubble that remains of an old mall that's being ripped out for a new outdoor mega-shopping center/residential area that's going up right in the heart of the city. It's called the City-creek center and it will be beautiful when it's done!
edit: noticed the watermark says 2007. I haven't gotten around to changing the default one in Lightroom yet!
