Friday Theme: "Enjoying the Moment"
It's been hot and dry in California where we live, so when we went to Portland and it was raining, we really enjoyed it. We were at "The Original" diner on 6th downtown and were sitting by a large window, just watching the people pass by and the rain come down. Lost and enjoying the moment.
Happy midsummer from Sweden
About photo:
Mårten Trotzigs gränd (Swedish: "Alley of Mårten Trotzig") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. Leading from Västerlånggatan and Järntorget up to Prästgatan and Tyska Stallplan, the width of its 36 steps tapers down to a mere 90 centimetres (35 in), making the alley the narrowest street in Stockholm.
About midsummer:
Midsummer, also known as St John's Day, is the period of time centered upon the summer solstice, and more specifically the Northern European celebrations that accompany the actual solstice or take place on a day between June 19 and June 25 and the preceding evening. The exact dates vary between different cultures. The Christian Church designated June 24 as the feast day of the early Christian martyr St John the Baptist, and the observance of St John's Day begins the evening before, known as St John's Eve.

With all 759-AF points activated, the Sony a1, Bird Eye Autofocus stays locked onto this Canada goose's eye as he wags his head at other goose couples nearby. I should have set shutter speed even higher, at 1/2000-sec, but you can still see that the eye is in focus despite the very fast movement of the head.
While I was taking photos of flowers by a lake, a lady stopped her car and told me she had just seen an Alligator snapping turtle along the lakeshore.
I knew this was the largest freshwater turtle in North America...but I had never seen one live and in the wild...so I went to check it out . More photos below ...
Autofocus works pretty well if there isn't anything in front of or behind the subject, but metering is a little trickier. It is much easier to blow out the highlights when you don't have time to manually compensate for the exposure. The shot was taken with a Fujifilm X-T2 using an XF 100-400mm OIS f/4.5~5.6 lens @ 177mm, f/4.8, 1/1800 ISO 400. DSCF9066
A squirrel at a park near to where we live. Cute little fella. I had a bag of nuts with me and he kept pinching them and hiding them in the tree's.

Iglesia de Santo Domingo, Soria.
La iglesia de Santo Tomé de la ciudad de Soria (Castilla y León, España) es un templo católico que data del siglo XII, aunque con refomas de épocas posteriores. Cambió su advocación por la de Santo Domingo cuando se suprimió la parroquia a finales del siglo XIX convirtiéndose entonces en iglesia conventual.
Fue declarada Monumento Histórico Artístico por Decreto de 3 de junio de 1931. En su interior descansa en una capilla anexa el cuerpo de Sor Clara de la Concepción Sánchez, declarada Venerable Madre por el Papa Francisco el 3 de abril de 2014.
Esta iglesia comprende tres partes bien diferenciadas, que se corresponden con otras tantas épocas y hechuras. El crucero y la cabecera son de finales del siglo XVI, de estilo renacimiento tardío. El tramo que sigue al crucero hacia los pies de las naves es un residuo del primitivo templo románico de Santo Tomé, levantado en la primera mitad del siglo XII. A esa misma construcción pertenece la torre adosada al lado norte de dicho tramo. Por fin, los tres tramos finales y la fachada occidental, todo ello románico también, son obra del rey Alfonso VIII de Castilla, por tanto de fines del siglo XII.
Pero sin duda alguna, es la singular portada el elemento más valioso de todo el conjunto. Cuatro arquivoltas de dovelas ricamente labradas coronan un frontón, en el que destaca en posición central el pantocrátor en su oval mandorla y los cuatro evangelistas, además de José y María, completando la escena. Lo excepcional de este pantocrátor es que es uno de los cinco únicos ejemplos en el mundo (todos en España) de la iconografía llamada trinidad paternitas. El Padre tiene a Cristo sentado sobre él, en vez de la Virgen. Los arcos descargan sobre artísticos capiteles soportados por columnas adosadas que, a su vez, descansan en un banco corrido. En los capiteles se representan escenas del Antiguo Testamento, desde la génesis de la Tierra y los astros que pueblan el universo, hasta la creación de Adán de una figurilla de barro y la de Eva de una costilla de éste.
En la arquivolta interior se representan los veinticuatro ancianos del Apocalipsis (dos por dovela), todos ellos tañendo diversos instrumentos musicales en actitudes de beatífica serenidad. La segunda arquivolta escenifica la matanza de los santos inocentes, cuyo responsable, Herodes, es aconsejado al oído por un demonio con alas. La tercera arquivolta exhibe una sucesión de acontecimientos evangélicos, como la Asunción, la Visitación, la Anunciación, el nacimiento de Jesús y la adoración de los Magos, etc. Por fin, la última arquivolta contiene episodios de la Pasión y de la Resurrección.
The church of Santo Tomé in the city of Soria (Castile and Leon, Spain) is a Catholic temple dating back to the 12th century, though with refomas from later times. It changed its name to the one of Santo Domingo when the parish was suppressed at the end of century XIX becoming then conventual church.
It was declared an Artistic Historical Monument by Decree of June 3, 1931. Inside it rests in a chapel annexed the body of Sister Clara de la Concepción Sánchez, declared Venerable Mother by Pope Francisco on April 3, 2014.
This church comprises three well-differentiated parts, which correspond to so many epochs and forms. The cruise and the header are from the late 16th century, late Renaissance style. The section that follows the cruise to the feet of the ships is a remnant of the primitive Romanesque temple of Santo Tomé, built in the first half of the 12th century. To this same construction belongs the tower attached to the north side of said section. Finally, the three final sections and the western facade, all Romanesque also, are the work of King Alfonso VIII of Castile, therefore late twelfth century.
But without a doubt, it is the singular cover the most valuable element of the whole. Four archivolts of richly carved dovelas crown a pediment, in which the pantocrator stands out in its central oval mandorla and the four evangelists, in addition to Jose and Maria, completing the scene. The exceptional thing about this pantocrator is that he is one of the only five examples in the world (all in Spain) of the iconography called trinity paternitas. The Father has Christ sitting on it, instead of the Virgin. The arches discharge on artistic capitals supported by terraced columns that, in turn, rest on a bench. The capitals represent scenes from the Old Testament, from the genesis of the Earth and the stars that populate the universe, to Adam's creation of a clay figurine and Eve's creation of a rib.
In the interior archivolt are represented the twenty-four elders of the Apocalypse (two by doubles), all of them playing various musical instruments in beatific serenity attitudes. The second archivolt depicts the slaughter of the innocent saints, whose leader, Herod, is advised in the ear by a demon with wings. The third archivolt exhibits a succession of evangelical events, such as the Assumption, the Visitation, the Annunciation, the birth of Jesus and the adoration of the Magi, etc. Finally, the last archivolt contains episodes of the Passion and the Resurrection.
