Baptism of the students of several Aveiro University college courses./ Baptismo dos alunos dos vários Cursos da Faculdade de Aveiro.
A side chapel where baptisms are performing. St. Bart's Church (Episcopal)
I worked in the building across the street for a little over 5 years and don't remember every walking inside this church.

Baptism
Until then I had only offered my advice, visions and incantations. However, the dark and foreboding events looming on the horizon demanded my direct participation. It became imperative that I consecrate myself and receive sacred baptism, allowing me to wield the sacred sword and fight alongside the new knights who will save us from the hordes of barbarians who seek to conquer the ancient land...

A crowd of summer escapees at Oneonta Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. I thought I would avoid this by going out on a Thursday and for a few brief minutes I did, but then the crowds rolled in. Despite its relative seclusion, this falls actually gets a lot of traffic, maybe because it tends to be 20 degrees cooler in the gorge by the falls than out on the road. Normally I do not mind the crowds so much, sort of comes with the territory. I used to be of the opinion that I couldn't stand a person in one of my landscape shots, but that was pretty early on. I eventually discovered that, often the interaction of people with their environment can produce some unique photographs. Depending on the frame of mind I am in, or the result I am going for, I will purposely wait for people to wander out of the frame...or into it. But I always find it ... amusing when people show no hesitation in walking or standing in front of an obviously set up tripod with a camera on it, even when the photographer (me in this case) is clearly in the middle of taking a photo. I do not let it bother me much though, as I figure if they want to stand in front of my tripod then they must want their picture taken. ;-) So naturally, I took pictures of the crowd. I actually like this shot too. Bonus.
Now for a bit of a shocker, at least to those who follow my stream. This is a digital image. Shot with a borrowed Nikon D1X, mainly because I was lent a Tiffen 87 Infrared filter and I wanted to experiment with some digital infrared. I have been eager to do that for some time, just had not gotten the appropriate filter. As I have said before though, cameras are cameras. Different ways of making pictures. There I things I like and dislike about this method. In particular the camera is not all that great. Shooting in RAW and the largest acceptable print I could make without upsizing is an 8x12?! Yikes. Poor battery life, big and clunky. Guess I am spoiled by my Nikon FM2 and wooden pinhole(both of which together cost less than half of what this D1X did just a few years ago). ;-) Not to mention the noise and other artifacts, though in this case I actually like them, they are most noticeable in the water, and give the image an interesting look I think. I am not of the opinion that every photo needs to be perfect in every way, from sharpness to lack of noticeable grain/noise, etc to be a good photo. Sometimes in fact it is a picture's imperfections that make it a great photo. A great example of this is the famous shot of D-Day that Robert Capa took. Though the blurring of that picture was not really his fault or intention. I think if it hadn't been "ruined" in the darkroom it would have been a less impressive photo. But that is just my opinion.
30 second exposure by the way.
I had way to much fun with this, i was in the bathroom for oer two hours before i could get this shot and i loved every minute of it(minus the almost drowning part) Well i already have another piece lined up for tomorrow, Hope you guys are enjoying my new shift in perspective. : 151-356
Trying to sell this one, so thought I'd put it up here before I let it go. I doubt the frame is original to the picture, as then how did the chip show up, but the frame must not have come along not too much later, judging by its design, the backing, and the rather primitive wire hanger that held it on the wall.

Jordan's river is chilly and cold, Hallelujah!
Chills the body but warms the soul, Hallelujah!
"Christ is baptized and the whole world is made holy; he wipes out the debt of our sins; we will all be purified by water and the Holy Spirit."
– Benedictus antiphon for the feast of the Lord's Baptism.

Tableau from Old St Mary's Basilica in Detroit.
This Mosaic of 'The Baptism of Christ by John the Baptist' is over the left side door. which leads into the Cathedral's Baptistery. Most of the other mosaics on the cathedral façade are more directly related to the story of Mary.
This 'Baptism of Christ' was the first mosaic created when work on the Duomo's facade mosaics began in 1359. However all of the original mosaics have been heavily restored over the centuries and many have been completely replaced.
The bronze statue standing at the apex of the gable is of St George (slaying the dragon)
Orvieto; March 2017
I made one dozen of each of these designs for a cousin's grandson's baptism. She didn't think she could eat a cross, so I made sure there were the lambs for her!
I happened upon an open-air revival yesterday in a fairly blighted section of St. Louis. It was the oddest sight: a group of happy, white evangelists speaking in tongues in the middle of a black community.
But alas: mission accomplished! The evangelists said they travel from city to city, saving souls... The big aluminum tub they'd brought along for Baptisms got plenty of use. As one local told me, "We need this to happen on a lot of other corners around here."
I even overheard one evangelist coax a man to promise the Lord that he'd stop doing drugs. It was a wild but good-spirited free-for-all, I tell ya'!
I worried about one young mother whose life load clearly had been heavy. After a few of the evangelists prayed close in her face and kept pressing on her forehead -- Third Eye?! -- the young mother started to sob and tremble to the core. Her pain seemed so, so deep...
Two of the spiritual strangers held her up and encouraged her to let it all out, while another reassured her bewildered kids that mommie was okay.
God bless all who read this... Don't we kind of 'let it all out' on Flickr? Don't some of the photos here press against your Third Eye? ;)
