Temple of Poseidon


 The ancient Greek temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion was built during 444-440 BC.  It is outside Athens, on a hill 60 metres above the sea. Ancient Greeks, especially seamen, believed storms were signs of Poseidon’s wrath.  This temple became a place where people could offer animal sacrifices and other gifts to appease him.

New Photo Sales with Free Delivery!

Indeed it has been a very long time since I last posted on this blog.  Today I am very excited to announce a new (for me) sales channel for my favourite photographs and AI-generated images.  I have joined Pictorem, a company out of Quebec who hosts photo and artwork galleries.   Like my original gallery at Pixieset ( www.fourlens.ca ), people can order photos in various sizes and on various media.  But unlike Pixieset, Pictorem offers FREE DELIVERY in Canada and the continental U.S.  This is huge as the delivery charges of a photo printed in Minnesota and delivered to Canada were huge. So, based on recommendations from fellow photographers, Ron Lane and Ingvar Grimsmo, I have signed up with Pictorem and begun adding my most favourite images for sale there.  You can find my Pictorem gallery at:  https://www.pictorem.com/gallery/Bob.Hudson

Engine Order Telegraph

Whilst wandering the engine room on the HMCS Haida, I spotted this Engine Order Telegraph.  Also known as the E.O.T. or Chadburn, this is a communications device that enables the ship's pilot to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed.   Always curious to see what the Prisma app can do with my photos, I ran the original photo through Prisma on my iPad and selected this version from the ones I created in the app.
