Who put me here in this space and time? By whose command and act were this time and place allotted to me? I am but a leaf upon a tree ... [With apologies to Blaise Pascal]
My presence is jewels upon barbed wire ...
Rainy day at Diamond Beach, New South Wales.
In Australia it is always best to swim at a patrolled beach and in between the red and yellow flags. There can often be dangerous rips.
Black and white quartered flags are used on each side of the red and yellow flags to indicate the surfcraft exclusion zone.
The red and yellow flags show the supervised area of the beach and that a lifesaving service is operating.
Hacia el puente.

Palacio de Cristal en el parque de El Retiro de Madrid / Spain

Fue construido por Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, y su proyecto de construcción se inspiraba en el Crystal Palace, levantado en Londres en 1851 por Joseph Paxton. En Londres se había levantado el Crystal Palace en Hyde Park en el contexto de la Exposición de Trabajos Industriales, y en España se levantó el Palacio de Cristal para la Exposición de las Islas Filipinas.
Su estructura es de metal, y está totalmente recubierto por planchas de cristal, de ahí su nombre. La decoración cerámica utilizada en pequeños frisos y remates es obra de Daniel Zuloaga; de ella destacan las figuras de grutescos con cabezas de ánades.1 La gran impresión que debió de causar el palacio queda reflejada en esta descripción, aparecida en El Globo, en 1887.

Woonsocket, RI
April 2nd, 2015
Some history on this cemetery with an interesting past:
"The Precious Blood Cemetery is in Woonsocket, RI and it continues into Blackstone, Mass. It is located at the intersection of Diamond Hill and Rathbun Street. The main entrance is in Rhode Island but most of the cemetery is in Mass. It was closed to any new burial plots as of May, 31 1955.
Some of the graves have makeshift wooden crosses with handwritten names and epitaphs. There are also ones made of concrete that are crumbling after time. Many of these are located in the back part of the cemetery. There is a reason that this part of the cemetery most definitely might be haunted.
In August, 1955 there was a catastrophe for the area. The area got hit by two weakened but very wet hurricanes. The first one was Hurricane Connie which dropped nine inches of water in Woonsocket and other areas on August 13th and 14th.
One week later came Hurricane Diane. This hurricane brought even more rain to the overflowing rivers and ponds. All this water was too much for the area and it was sweeping away houses and businesses. The Blackstone River runs along the back of the cemetery and when that flooded, Harris Pond, which is also in the area, flooded. The pond flooded so much that it took part of the cemetery away with it.
More than fifty caskets broke and the deceased floated away with the water. Some floated down the street and others floated out to sea never to be seen again. Pieces of caskets and remains were found all over the area.
After the flood many of the bodies were brought to the mausoleum at Precious Blood. They were then reburied and new headstones were made. Some even needed new caskets. It is thought that some of the bodies aren’t the ones that match the headstones they are laid to rest with.
Because of this happening many people think the spirits are looking for there loved ones they were buried next to before the flood. Orbs have been seen on many occasions. Paranormal investigators have also recorded voices and unexplained noises.
Stop in and take a look for yourself. Be sure you check out the back of the cemetery. Maybe you can run into a ghost or two. Just remember to stop in while the cemetery is open and never trespass."
