I took this shot for this weeks Macro Mondays theme "beliefs". It is my belief that Jesus died on a cross for our sins so that we may live eternally. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him should not parish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Chichester Cross is an elaborate Perpendicular market cross in the centre of the city of Chichester, West Sussex, standing at the intersection of the four principal streets. According to the inscription upon it, this cross was built by Edward Story, Bishop of Chichester from 1477 to 1503; but little is known for certain and the style and ornaments of the building suggest that it may date from the reign of Edward IV. It was built so that the poor people should have somewhere to sell their wares, and as a meeting point. An earlier wooden cross had been erected on the same site by Bishop Rede (1369-1385). The stone cross was repaired during the reign of Charles II, and at the expense of the Duke of Richmond, in 1746 and stands to this day.
The Market Cross is constructed of Caen stone, one of the most favoured building materials of the age. The cross' form is octangular, having a strong butment at each angle, surmounted with pinnacles. On each of its faces is an entrance through a pointed arch, ornamented with crockets and a finial. Above this, on four of its sides, is a tablet, to commemorate its reparation in the reign of Charles II. Above each tablet is a dial, exhibiting the hour to each of the three principal streets; the fourth being excluded from this advantage by standing at an angle.

Cross London aggregates. 60029 is pictured taking the West London line at Culvert Road, between Longhedge and Latchmere Junctions, with 6Z71 1035 Grain to Willesden DC Rail Sidings loaded working. It's difficult to get any wider here without a ladder as you have to poke the camera through holes cut in the mesh and the buddleia prevented going to the next hole along as it would be lapping the loco bogies.

The West Cross at Monasterboice, County Louth, also known as the Tall Cross, with the round tower behind it at the end of twilight as all the stars appear. The monastery here was said to have been established as early as the fifth century, and eventually fell into disuse when the nearby Mellifont Abbey was founded in 1142.
I was looking through a hard drive earlier this evening looking for some pictures from 2006. inevitably I saw I had a folder on the drive with pictures of me from the that year indulging in my transvestism.
I saw this picture and had a quick skip of the heart as I suddenly remembered just how much I loved dressing up as a woman the night I too this picture. It was rather a fabulous and fun filed evening as I do so enjoy female impersonation, albeit in a non theatrical manner. I'm simply doing it for my own enjoyment.
I recall at that time I was pushing it with my eyebrow plucking as I had gone from my thick bushy shapeless eyebrows to daring myself to have a thinner shaped more feminine brow. I've since changed my approach as I went a bit too far and it caused me some family upset. Although my family tolerate my cross-dressing they do not like it and would prefer I stopped. I think the eyebrows were something I had to try. I now prefer a neater tidier shape to the over plucked thin eyebrow look.
As I was using the self timer I had not got into a pose and realised the shutter was about to go of so I just adopted this pose, which is a bit of an odd one but hey...I was having fun. Despite being a man I really do love to become a woman. I adore wearing a dress, high heels, wig and make-up.

John 3:16 & 17
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

The Bristol High Cross is a monumental market cross erected in 1373 in the centre of Bristol. It was built in Decorated Gothic style on the site of an earlier Anglo-Saxon cross, to commemorate the granting of a charter by Edward III to make Bristol a county, separate from Somerset and Gloucestershire. In 1764 it was moved to Stourhead , Wiltshire, a National Trust property.

I was so fortunate to photograph in some ridiculously good conditions on The Great Ocean Road last week.
My wife's comment about this photo was "That looks like a photo from one of those photo tours...you know how they always get really good shots." Thanks dear!

The Lafayette Crosses hillside memorial is a collection of religious symbols, accompanied by a large sign, in Lafayette, California. The memorial commemorates soldiers killed in the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan, with the sign containing a running total of the death count as recorded by the US Department of Defense. The monument began to raise controversy in November 2006
Over the years, as casualties multiplied so did the crosses. At first it split the town, with many feeling the display was disrespectful to the military but then, slowly, the feeling changed. People began adding names and photos of lost loved ones to the crosses, and what started as a protest became a place of honor.
