View from the Judean Hills south of Jerusalem. In the center is the Hadassah hospital complex and medical school, with its helipad on top. At the right, a Franciscan monastery (Monastery of St. John in the Wilderness or "Minzar Johanon beMidbar") built around the grotto believed to have been used by John The Baptist, whose home was the nearby village of Ein Kerem. I can't find out when the monastery was first established, but the first written record of it is from the 12th Century CE....

 

 

Very nice!

Here's a view of the Russian Orthodox Church of Princess Elizabeth, in Ein Kerem, just outside of Jerusalem:

Until recently you could only glimpse the golden beet-tops from a cliff-edge road leading down to the Hadassah medical complex, but construction fo a light rail extension from the edge of the city to the complex has carved a wide shelf below the road.  I'm fascinated with construction sites, and the CL with its 11-23 lens makes a fine kit for visiting.  Here are two more shots and a link to the album:

I´m very impressed how sharp your pictures appear in the Forum. My CL has the same sharp photos on my MacBook, but after processing them to the forum size, they look too soft for me. Would you be so kind, as to tell me your normal workflow, also as PN possible. Thanks in forward.

 I process DNG, ORF or RAF files in CaptureOne with default sharpening.  I usually render my keepers at 50% (which means 6 MPx for a 24 MPx file), and upload a selection to Flickr at that resolution.  Then I use the BB link that Flickr offers to embed them in a forum post at whatever size the viewer's browser will offer.  If you click through a picture that is incorporated that way you first see the Flickr photodisplay size, then a larger size which still seems less than what I uploaded.  But Flickr or your browser is doing any resizing.  I don't use the LUF's software and if I have to shrink further (for online blog posting at 640 or 800 pixels width) I use Preview.

I do it differently, process in Photoshop CC with the default sharpenimg (25) in ACR, then sharpen through layer and highpass filter --> overlay and resize to 1280 px  resample automatic; save at a JPG setting to get the permitted size.. Then I upload to the Forum.

That is all.

18-56 Maybe not a Monochrom (what is? ;) ), but still not bad :)
