Thanks for all the likes, comments and advice regarding the Beacon pic, much appreciated. I too prefer the last iteration of pp, I may start over and reprocess it with more care, I may need a little more practice with the new masking tools in LR !
Anyway, while I'm here, a couple of shots from riverside in the city. XT2 + LTII + 28/2 ais.

I went out today to try to duplicate a few shots I did yesterday with another camera body and lens combo (auto focus )
Wanted to see how the Series E 75-150 would do in the same light (went out at the same time of day)
I don't think this is too bad for a sloppy zoom, less than $40 beater lens on a medium format body. I did crop to 7x6 ratio to eliminate the harder vignette in the extreme corners.
GFX 50S and 75mm-150mm f/3.5 Series E. Shot at f/3.5

Seems almost blasphemous to mount a Series E lens on the GFX, but it most certainly worked in this case.

Crash is a polydactyl cat that belongs to my son Duncan. He seems to have an extra tiny paw on each front foot - instead of just two extra toes. He has grown into a very large cat since these were shot. 135mm f2.0 AI - not the best focusing on my part.
Rafael, David, Jim, Serge, thanks for your comments on my WW1 ceremony series.
David, thank you for sharing that interesting link about the "merci train" - I didn't know that nice story.
Serge, you are perfectly right about what should have been the "der des ders" - that's what is making WW1 even more dramatic.
I saw that scene in the Catheral Saint-Jean in Lyon. This proves, if necessary, that we are living in a changing world.
Sony A7M3 & 55/1.2K
Philippe, that's an interesting workplace, the decor vs. the technology. Liked your WW1 event pictures.
Ben, looks like the gentleman is knocking on the wall in the dark.
Leighton, bucolic scenes in the Shenandoah! The b&w door was well-framed.
Serge, normally expect NYC outdoor scenes in your posts, but good to see the florals at the garden.
Laura, nice church interior. Which 15mm was it?
Andy, especially like the first two scenes.
Ken, like the colours in the first one. Ford's UP inn has fallen on some hard times since. Million dollar HOA fees? Sheesh. I would rather spend that on some camera gear and still have a whole bunch left over.
Jose, looks like some of those feathers on the lapwing were delicately painted by someone!
David very interesting tree with the 16 fisheye!
John (Matsu), cool example with the 75-150E. Interesting seeing two examples from it within a couple pages. That lens has not been common here, although its an interesting FL range.
Ben, just came across your pic with the lady looking down at your camera (hopefully not at you). I like the lighting there, with the clouds in the sky and the Roman architecture in the backdrop.
Rafael, ahh another shiny Nikkor just fell in your lap. Be patient, I am sure you will score the other ones too. That reminds me, Rafael or anyone here looking at the new Z-mount Noct? I saw some review a few days back and its sharp sharp starting at f/.95.
George, nice work again with the MF gear!
Jim, I couldn't see the extra dactyls on the kitten earlier. Seems like its quite content to have them.

I am sure the Z Noct exceeds the original in many ways. But unlike the original Noct, a Z body is the only body you will be able to shoot it on. That is why I love these F mount manual lenses. With the flange distance there are not many modern digital cameras that you cannot adapt them to work on. From M4/3 to medium format.

Love the light rays breaking thru the clouds.
