Moderne Pfarrkirche St. Peter in Wenzenbach (bei Regensburg)
Die Planer wollten ein Bild der Kirche entwerfen, wie es für die Zukunft von Bedeutung sein könnte: Im mystischen Sinn befinden sich die Gläubigen auf einer Fahrt vom Diesseits ins Jenseits. In der heutigen säkular-materiellen Welt könnte dies ermuntern, die andere Welt anzusteuern. Wer den riesigen Schiffsbauch betritt, wer nach oben schaut und das weit ausladende Gebälk betrachtet, erinnert sich, dass wir letztlich alle „in einem Boot“ sitzen.
(~ aus dem Text der Webseite der Pfarrei St. Peter)
Lido Rossello è la località marittima di Realmonte da cui dista circa 1,8 km. Ubicato proprio nella Baia di Capo Rossello il piccolo centro abitato si trova inserito in un contesto ambientale molto suggestivo: a nord infatti è chiuso dall'arco della Costabianca, ad ovest da Capo Rossello e ad est dalla continuazione dell'arco costiero che finisce con lo sfondo di Scala dei Turchi, a sud invece si apre sul mare con una spiaggia di modeste dimensioni ma molto composta e raccolta.
"La Scala dei Turchi è una falesia viva costituita da uno sperone di marna bianca prominente sul mare, le cui falde degradanti a strato conferiscono un aspetto molto suggestivo, accentuato, a sua volta, dai forti contrasti cromatici se si pensa all'azzurro del mare e del cielo contrapposto al bianco accecante della roccia.
La forma che questo monumento della natura assume è quella per l'appunto di una scalinata, dove secondo la leggenda, durante le invasioni moresche che imperversarono nel '500, i turchi (così erroneamente chiamati) approdarono nel territorio dell'odierna Realmonte inerpicandosi sulle stratificazioni di questa falesia."

Sille is a village near the city of Konya, Turkey. It is an antique city which was established about 6000 years ago. The name "Sille" comes from Silen (Silene) of Greek mithology, or "Silenos." The village is located on the antique Silk Road. The "Hagia Eleni Church" in the village was built in 371 A.D. by the order of Helena who is mother of first Christian Byzantium Emperor Constantine.
It is a former estate garden featuring annuals, roses and wildflowers and an extensive rockery. It is located on Wilket Creek, one of the tributaries of the Don River West Branch. The estate's title was once held by Alexander Milne, a Scottish weaver who settled here after the War of 1812 and left in 1832. The land and the woolen/saw mills was obtained by Rupert E. Edwards in 1944 and created his country home. Edwards home was left in neglect and was purchased by the Municipality of Metro Toronto in 1955 and became Edwards Gardens in 1956.
Neuschwanstein Castle (German: Schloss Neuschwanstein, English: "New Swanstone Castle") is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner.
Das Schloss Neuschwanstein steht oberhalb von Hohenschwangau bei Füssen im südlichen Bayern. Der Bau wurde ab 1869 für den bayerischen König Ludwig II. als idealisierte Vorstellung einer Ritterburg aus der Zeit des Mittelalters errichtet. Der König lebte nur wenige Monate im Schloss, er starb noch vor der Fertigstellung der Anlage.
Unfortunately the Marienbrücke (Bridge over the Pöllat Gorge) – one of the best viewpoints was closed because of construction work – so I had to climb up an ice hill left to the Marienbrücke – which had an even more beautiful view – quite a good reward for a quite dangerous climb…
Leider war die Marienbrücke wg. Bauarbeiten gesperrt und so musste ich einen ziemlich vereisten Hügel links neben der Brücke hochklettern – und wurde dann mit einer noch schöneren Aussicht für die nicht ganz ungefährliche Kletterpartie belohnt…

Actually I myself prefer the word 'prodigy' rather than 'monster' to describe this wonderfully interesting and rather rare anomaly of the common Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea. Charles Darwin in the nineteenth century already experimented with Digitalis that has this 'peloric terminal flower' ('peloric' is from the Greek for monster or prodigy). It seems that it is caused by a simple Mendelian recessive gene that is sometimes 'empowered' by an environmental shock of some sort; perhaps in this case the curious ups-and-downs of this year's Spring weather. Others say it's caused by too frequent inbreeding as might occur within a Horticultural Garden. In any case, this terminal flower of a Digitalis stalk is quite amazing and not at all usual in Nature.

I hadn't been to Strasbourg before, but I must go back. Today I had a quick 30 minutes run around between trains. Too hot really, but I wanted to see it.
This photo must have got deleted from Flickr somehow. It was on months ago, and has made a reappearance this morning (16 Dec 2015)

some photography. See you guys later!
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

The Isola San Giorgio Maggiore has always intrigued me. It is definitely one of the iconic sights to see in Venice. The island has been occupied since 829 and the church, with its bell tower, was built in 1566. This was taken one morning as the sun began to rise over the beautiful historic city!!
I continue to be busy trying to lend support to a Presidential candidate here in the USA and getting ready for a new trip to India. Southern India will be my destination this time. I miss my daily contact with every one, but probably won't be back on schedule until sometime in March! I continue to appreciate your support and encouragement!!!
