A wooden Eastern Orthodox cross anchors the top of the church at Fort Ross, Sonoma County, California.
I did alot of reflecting here. My daughter had all the kids and I was wondering around taking pics. I wanted a pic as if I was at the foot of the cross, but the sky was too indifferent, so I chose this shot. It didn't stop me from wondering how I would have felt at the foot of the cross that day when my Savior died.
I saw this cross today, and this image came together much more quickly that normal....

The old Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. Fun abandoned place, it still had flickering electricity in some places. It was cool and concerning since I was here when it was raining heavy. Rain water was everywhere
I suspect this spider had a couple of broken legs. It was on the breezeway door and refused to budge when I tried to move it. I ended up putting it on a plant and wishing it the best.
A shot taken from the edge of the M25 Services Cobham at full zoom at the meeting of a number of fence types . Also here the M25 crosses over the railway of the Waterloo to Guildford line and also just hidden near to the gate and the wall is a very small lane/road from Downside to the edge of Bookham Common . The manic goings on of a busy service station , the M25 itself ( which is a beast in itself ) and the major railway link all contrast to the peace and quiet of the little lane with hardly any passing space which has been a joy many times in the past to cycle along !
" What are you doing on the M25 " I hear some of you ask !
Answer , just popped there to have a pasty !! West Cornwall Pasty Company make them over the Tamar in Kernow and ship them to many places around the country and here is one of those places !!
HFF to all !!

Celtic cross in St James, Ashworth, Church yard. Its a celtic design. The cross is not so old. It was for a young boy, Thomas Bamford Lord who died in 1908 at the age of 14.
Incendio maestoso
un coro doloroso di voci
portate dal troppo tempo...
e, alimentato dal vento,
appicco un silenzio doloso.
Di croci
e delizie...
che sanno prendersi ancora per mano...
Osserviamole bruciare piano
a fuoco lento,
fra terra e cielo.
E fra vita e morte...
potremo ancora imparare
a sapere aspettare.
In silenzio...
che poi così doloso non è!

The Celtic cross, on the tiny Welsh island of Ynys Llandwyn, was erected over100 years agoby the island’s then owner, F G Wynn,to commemorate the ruined Llanddwyn Church.The poignant inscriptions on the cross reads: “they lie around did living tread, this sacred ground now silent – dead“. In English on one side, and Welsh on the other.
Limoges, France, about 1190.
Art on the resurrection of Christ does not sit well with me, a problem for a host of reasons, some sinful and some quite natural. It is a macabre image, and of course it is meant to make one feel uncomfortable - the effulgent, glorious Son of God, second person of the Trinity, allowed himself to be executed in a most shameful style, in a degrading manner so cruel it could not be used on a Roman citizen. Such a thing, of course, should shock, and it does. The subject of such art cannot be beautiful on one level, unless you think about the alternative.
Yes, that we ought to be on that cross instead. And would be, figuratively-speaking, if He weren't.
As a Protestant, I also do not like images of Christ represented in art, as this, to me, violates making images of God, the 2nd Commandment. His disciples saw him face-to-face; it was not an image of Jesus they saw when they were in His presence. For us, it is different.
This does not mean that I repudiate such art, necessarily - else I would not have this on my photostream. As nothing we do is absent of sin at some level, I can appreciate why the artist made this magnificently-wrought cross. The message of this work comes though clearly.
These crosses are hanging near an abandoned homeless camp. I think they used the crosses to keep close to their god and humanity. I visited about a month later and the city had cleaned it up and taken everything away. I hope the people who placed the crosses were able to retrieve them.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams.
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems. (Ode, by Arthur O'Shaughnessy)
This cross can be seen in Causse Mejean, which is in Languedoc-Rousillon region, near Florac.
As many others, this cross is about one thousand years old, and was first build to guide pilgrims during their journeys.

Arriva Cross-Country do have appropriate trains for some of their long-distance routes and passengers travelling a journey of 100 miles or longer will appreciate the comfort and relative quietness of a journey in a Mark 3 coach, arguably the best coach design used in the country.
Seen in this image taken on 9 June 2017 at Cheltenham Spa is such a train, a HST led by power-car numbered 43301 working 1V50, the 06.06 Edinburgh to Plymouth.
