Kryžių kalnas, or the Hill of Crosses, is a site of pilgrimage about 12 km north of the city of Šiauliai, in northern Lithuania. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the 1831 Uprising. Over the generations, not only crosses and crucifixes, but statues of the Virgin Mary, carvings of Lithuanian patriots and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by Catholic pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but estimates put it at about 55,000 in 1990 and 100,000 in 2006. Source: Wikipedia. Šiauliai, Latvia

Wandering around Borough, I came across this by accident. The Southbank was the wild side of Medieval London and the river, and was a little legal black hole where prostitutes could work unharrassed by the authorities, under the protection of the Bishop of Winchester, no less (the ruins of whose palace can be seen on the other side of Borough Market. The prostitutes were known as 'Winchester's geese'.
The Bishop was a pimp, in other words. The prostitutes were not allowed to be buried in hallowed ground (despite having contributed to the building of the Bishop's palace), so they were buried here in an outcasts' cemetery.
Borough was the archetypal Dickensian slum in the 19th century, and the cemetery was declared full in 1853. Some bones were uncovered during the excavations for the Jubilee line extension. The property is now owned by Transport for London, and there is a local campaign for a garden of remembrance to be made.

I probably should have posted this photo for Good Friday, but I just took it yesterday. He is risen.
Charing Cross Mansions at Charing Cross in Glasgow, designed by John James Burnet and completed in 1891. Strangely, the wee cul-de-sac on the left, with it's single lamp, was a popular haunt of those seeking a place to smoke.
The equestrian Statue of King Charles 1 hasn't moved but everything around it has. The pillory is on the site of the execution of the Regicides and is seen from a window of the 'Golden Cross' which was a coaching Inn and later a hotel, the site is now occupied by South Africa House. The 'Golden Cross is the scene of an unfortunate decapitation in the 'Pickwick Papers'.

The Cross Timbers ecoregion runs from southeast Kansas through east-central Oklahoma and deep into the heart of Texas. It separates the forests of the East from the Southern Plains. A truly unique place.
Near Sand Springs is the Keystone Ancient Forest Preserve. A red cedar growing on a sandstone bluff there is more than 500 years old. Nearby an ancient post oak is more than 400 years old and yet is only about 20-feet tall. These trees may seem unremarkable to an untrained eye, but are true natural treasures.
Our beautiful Oklahoma, pass it on.
