The departures concourse, Kings Cross Station, London. The design is by engineers Ove Arup and architects John McAslam and Partners.
The only clue to this Arbroath High School picture is the word cross, and the date, March, 2004. Presumably 'cross' refers to a successful cross-country team?
The three crosses symbolize three men. You see rebellion, repentance and redemption symbolized by these three crosses.
Yes, it was raining a bit on the way from Glen Coe to the Isle of Skye. Glen Shiel was around 3 hours after the drive through Glen Coe pass and around 30 minutes til we reached Eilean Donan Castle. I spent 1/2 hour using google street view trying to find the location with no luck. Thanks to jddoren08 I now know where it is. You can see the Scotch broom was in bloom.
" The glen runs approximately 9 miles from north-west to south-east, from sea level at the village of Shiel Bridge and Loch Duich to the Cluanie Inn (216 metres) at the western end of Loch Cluanie and the start of Glenmoriston.[1] The northern side of the glen lies within the Kintail and Morvich estate owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
"The Battle of Glen Shiel took place on 10 June 1719 midway up the glen. It was fought between the British government and an alliance of Jacobites and Spaniards, and resulted in a victory for the British forces. It was the last close engagement of British and foreign troops on mainland British soil. The battle is sometimes considered an extension of the 1715 rising, but is more correctly a separate rebellion and was the only rising to be extinguished by a single military action.[12] It is "Scotland's only battle site with contemporary remains still visible – including the stone dyke enclosure where the Jacobite munitions were stored"

Love sunset pics. This is the same scene I shot with the cell phone cam, except done with my Kodak in RAW and lightly 'shopped for your protection.
I'm using RAW a lot more lately, Adobe ACR does a much better job than the Kodak's hardware does, for my tastes.
The oldest public cemetery in Fayetteville, containing over 1,100 grave markers in the burial ground of many of the early settlers and locally significant persons in Fayetteville's history. This cemetery contains graves of veteran from he Revolutionary War all the way through the Spanish-American War. The first Confederate Monument in North Carolina stands in the military area within the grounds, erected in 1868. The money to build the monument was raised by local women that sold shares to make a quilt. The quilt was sold for $300, enough to create the monument. The quilt was eventually given to Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

From medieval times, a cross stood at the southern end of Cross Cheaping, where it met Broadgate.
In the 1930s it was proposed to build a replica of the 1544 cross, but work did not begin until the 1960s. The modern cross — made by sculptor George Wagstaffe — was finally unveiled in 1976, 100 metres from the original position. Based on its medieval precursor, it had four tiers and was surrounded by a flight of four steps. It was temporarily removed from that site in 2019.
The newly re-built Coventry Cross was officially unveiled on Thursday 13 July 2023. The cross is based on the 1976 replica of the 16th century monument, and links the history of Coventry to King Henry VI, when it served as an important market town in the medieval era.
The cross has been rebuilt with several new features. It showcases stained glass windows which tell the history of the medieval cross in Coventry and King Henry VI.
It stands 60 feet tall and features 33 statues of animals, angels, saints and kings; and has the original crown from the 1976 cross placed at the top.
The first row is of Kings – Henry VI, John, Edward I, Henry II, Richard I and Henry IV. On the second row St. George, Edward III, St. John, St. Michael, Christ and Henry III, with boys holding pennons. On the second, saints and monks – St. Christopher, St. Peter, St. James the Less, 3 monks (a Benedictine, a Whitefriar and a Greyfriar) also there is a lion, bull, greyhound and dragon with pennons. The final lantern included 6 angels.
The monument also includes a new 3D-printed sculpture of King Henry VI, which was manufactured locally by HPL. It is accurate to the original sculpture of King Henry VI, which is now on display in the Herbert Museum.
