view of central Turin with the Mole Antonelliana (720 nm low-pass filter)
Construction of the Mole Antonelliana (image center, 168 m high) started 1863 as a synagogue, but as the construction cost was steadily increasing, the Jewish community withdrew from the project which was finally finished in 1889, after the city has token over it. Today, the building accomodates a Museum of Cinema.
At the horizon you can see the mountains of the Alps, which are - in contrast to the photograph in the visible spectrum - observable in the infrared image as infrared radiation is less scattered by haze than visible light.

Around two weeks ago I remembered the cheap waterproof single-use camera which I used 2010 to take pictures on the Amazon river near Iquitos, Peru. I shot the last remaining pictures and brought the camera for developing. Wating and hoping, that the images endured three years and some security scanners. The result? Well, they did, at least you can see something...
