"Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Gothic style.
It was the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1548), and the first building to hold that title after the Great Pyramid of Giza. The central spire collapsed in 1548 and was not rebuilt. For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, St Paul's and York Minster. It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held ... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."
Lincoln is a cathedral city and county town of Lincolnshire in the East Midlands of England. The non-metropolitan district of Lincoln had a 2012 population of 94,600. The 2011 census gave the urban area of Lincoln, which includes North Hykeham and Waddington, a population of 130,200. Roman Lindum Colonia developed from an Iron Age settlement on the River Witham. The city's landmarks include Lincoln Cathedral, an example of English Gothic architecture and the tallest building in the world for over 200 years, and the 11th-century Norman Lincoln Castle. The city is home to the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste University, and to Lincoln City FC and Lincoln United FC." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter (York Minster), begun 1220, consecrated 1472; Chapter House completed by 1296; Great West Window, 1338–39; Great East Window, 1405–1408
We made a small stop at our castle to get some peasant clothes and the beaded bag aunt Hermione gave to Alice. So we're back on the road again, on our way to the cottage of Scarlet Witch.She's an expert at breaking the spell of true loves first kiss. Suddenly Alice stops at a tree surrounded by beehives and points at the tree. At first I didn't notice what was going on, but after taking a closer look I too noticed there's a man stuck in the tree. His feet had grown towards the ground like the roots of a tree do. And out of his hands grew branches, branches with lots of green leaves. The birds even made a little nest in the tree. 'Help' muttered the tree. Alice searched her bag and found a butchers knife. So I started cutting until I freed the man from the tree. A man made of wood...

This the ceiling of the Chapter Room at York Minster Cathedral. I laid on my back to take this and still could not capture the whole thing. I brought the wrong lens with me for this kind of photo but the beauty and symmetry of this architectural work of art had to be captured as best it could with the lens I had. The Cathedral Chapter is like a Vestry or board of directors who take care of the business of the cathedral.
TITLE CREDITS GO TO THE AMAZING MOLLY, OR SHOULD I SAY MOLLIAM? ♥
Before this chapter, lemme explain something.
I'm doing a different book, because I want to finish writing Switched before I posted it.Sorry for the inconvience!
It was like any normal day, except for one thing. I was going to a One Direction concert! I was very excited to be sitting in the first row! Being an only child has its benefits. I put on my favorite jeans and a shirt that said, "Future Mrs.Malik" on it, and made a posterboard that said "Zayn has that One Thing!" It turned out pretty well. We hopped in the car and blasted "Up All Night" through the car while I yelled to everyone outside, "Remember this name~ Mrs. Rylee Malik!" My mom laughed. She really didn't get it. We finally arrived, and I jumped out of the car and ran towards the stadium. It was already packed, but my mom and I made it to our reserved seats. I couldn't believe I was actually there! They sang a couple songs and then walked into the crowd. I couldn't believe it. Zayn was walking towards me! He grabbed my hand and said, "Hello beautiful. Would you like to sing Up All Night with me?" "OF COURSE!" I shrieked. Being the same age as him, and him calling me beautiful, made me feel like the only girl in the world. I couldn't believe I was on stage with my future husband! "Here's the girls! Whats your name?" Niall asked. "Carolyne" said the girl he had chosen. Harry had chosen a girl named Lily, Liam had chosen a girl named Molly,and Louis had chosen a girl named Aly. "What's your name?" Zayn asked me. I replied, "My future wife, Rylee!" "Everyone, this is My future wife, Rylee! Wait a second.... hahaha...." everyone in the stadium laughed. I couldn't believe this! People laughed at my joke, Zayn Malik had called me beautiful, and I was at a One Direction concert? This was the best day ever! When we started singing, I was a bit nervous. I felt like a good singer, and this was what I wanted to do when I grew up, but could I really pull this off? Zayn and I started singing, "Don't even care about the table breaking, we only wanna have a laugh," He stopped singing. I almost stopped, but he whispered, "Keep going." so, I sang, "I'm only thinkin' bout this guy I'm seein', I hope he wanna kiss me back." When the song finished, Zayn gave me a note. I waited till after the concert to read it, but it read, "Come back on stage when the concert is over. I wanna give you something :)" I showed my mom the note, and she let me go. I started walking to the stage, wondering what Zayn could possibly give me?, he called me beautiful, but he would've said that to anyone, right?

I haven’t known Jay that long but she already seems to know how I think.
The fact she thought she scared me with her threats was adorable. Just adorable.
Anyway, the next morning we packed up camp, put everything into the van and set off. The only seats were the driver's seat and the passenger seat. I sat in the driver and Brian sat next to me.
The girls sat along one wall, and the boys sat across from them.
Jay was holding Noel in her lap, Ming was reading, Buck works on his drawing of Ming, and Chris was showing Matt how to sharpen a stick with a knife.
So far, Noel had only talking to the girls and occasionally to Matt. She wouldn’t say anything about her past, so far.
I wondered where her twin was.
In case you're wondering… yes, I’m planning on selling her, Jay, and Dale at the end of all of this.
Nothing has changed absolutely nothing. Well, maybe something. For some reason I don’t feel the usual joy, I have when planning.
At least, not when it comes to Jay.
Jay, the only Type One to cause me this much trouble. The only one to make me feel this way…with her beautiful brown eyes, and a sweet smile.
Oh my gosh, what am I saying?!
Pretend I never thought that. It never happened.
Back to what’s important. After an hour we ran out of gas.
We grab our things and walk once more.
“Where in the world is the stupid lab?! I mean, how big could this stupid woods be?!” I hear Jay shout.
I roll my eyes, “did you think that we’d find it after a day or something? These woods are huge! It might be another week before we find it.” I tell her.
She glares at me, and keeps walking.
“How do we know that we’re even going in the right direction?” Brian asks. This question stops Jay.
“Well, the truck was heading this direction, so we should probably keep heading in this direction, until we no longer can.” Jay replies.
“So, technically, we’re lost. That’s just perfect.” Chris says startling everyone.
“Well, in a way, it was inevitable.” Brian tells us.
In the corner of my eye I see Matt mouthing the word, trying to figure out its meaning. I lean over, and whisper “It was going to happen no matter what.” He nods in response.
I start paying attention again to discover that the matter has been resolved. We go with Jay’s idea.
As we walk I think about Matt. He was only ten, and yet, he believes fully in our business and me. For someone so young, he was insightful and brave.
I cared for him. I cared for all my boys. Each one of them, in some way, hold a special place in my heart.
Crap. I’m being soft again, aren’t I? It’s the woods. All this walking is giving me too much time to think.
I stop suddenly. Everyone sees me stopped and does likewise. “What is it?” Buck asks me.
I put my finger to my lips and shush him. One by one they hear it too, well, except Matt and Noel.
“Water. It sounds like a river.” Jay whispers.
We walk towards the sound and sure enough, it’s a calm river.
“Why don’t we stop for the night and take proper baths for once?” I suggest.
Everyone agrees eagerly. We all begin to set up camp, discussing how we’ll do this.
It ends up that the girls go first, with one of them always blocking the path to the river. After that I let my boys go before me. Soon I’m the only one left.
I finish up and pull on my pants, and then hear a gasp. I turn around and find Jay staring at me.
“Crap. I thought you were done. No one was blocking the path. Sorry.” she says quickly.
“Nah it’s okay, I have to do is put on my shirt.” I smirk, loving how uncomfortable she is.
Thankfully, my chest is hairless and smooth, showing off my well-defined abs.
Jay collects some water in some bottles she brought with her. “Need some help?” I ask her, while walking over by her.
I reach for a bottle and accidentally brush her hand. She jerks it back and looks at me. I don’t see the usual hatred in her eyes, instead I see something I don’t identify.
She quickly stands up, I do to. She looks so beautiful, standing there in the moonlight. I slowly start to lean in. We’re very close.
Before either of us know whats happen our lips meet. Jay puts her hand on my neck, and I slide my down to her mid back.
My mind is exploding right now. I can’t think straight. What’s happening?
Suddenly Jay pushes me harshly away. “No… no, I'm sorry. We can’t, it would never work.” With that she runs back to camp.
I sigh, the memory of our kiss is already fading from my lips. I sit down on the cool grass.
I had failed. I had let my emotions win for a second. I just made things harder on myself.
The boys must never find out about this. Never. They would think I was weak and pitiful. Not worthy of leadership.
I vowed to myself right then and there I would never let my emotions win again. Jay was profit, not someone I felt something for.
We needed to finish this soon, I needed to forget soon.
I put my hand on my chin and discover angry tears. I wiped them away quickly.
I stand up, and look around. No one in sight, at least from what I can tell.
I head back to camp. Jay avoids me, and Brian stares at me, probably wondering why we weren’t talking again.
He would never know. Never.

POSTED TONIGHT INSTEAD OF TOMORROW, BECAUSE I HAVE JOB TRAINING TOMORROW.
Last dive ever before I turn 40! Was an incredible Saturday with a great group in the boat. Been really into red filters this year, and just started trying to master manual white balance. Impressed with the results. @an.maury and Julie hunted up some urchins, and were kind enough to share (along with a glass of white wine). We had also were treated to some more dolphins on the way back to port. A great way to close one more chapter. #redfilter #freedivers #cipa #blue #freedom #underwaterphoto #underwaterart #azur #azurdiving

Associated General Contractors Oregon-Columbia Chapter ODOT Annual Meeting, Salem, OR, Feb. 21, 2020.
We don’t go in the house through the front door. We don’t go in through the door in the garage that opens onto the family room, either. Not right away, anyway. First we stand on the threshold of the garage entrance, the three of us, huddled together, and my sister and I call for our dog in increasingly strident tones.
His name’s Rex. He’s a poodle who’s never passed up on the chance to run away. Never once. Now we’re asking him to run away, begging him, but he’s nowhere to be seen. We listen for the familiar clink of his dog tag, but the house is silent. So very silent.
We go in.
The heavy drapes drawn across the sliding glass doors give the family room an oppressive, funereal feel. I smell the ever-present stink of stale smoke and the mustiness of the boiled potatoes from last night’s pot roast. I feel sick, disoriented. My heart is hammering.
In the kitchen, I arm each of us with a knife. I take the biggest, the butcher, and lead the way into the entrance hall, where I open the front door and the storm door. We call again for Rex.
“Here boy!”
“Come on, boy!”
“Where are you?”
He trots into the hall, as if it’s just another day, and stops. His eyes cut from us to the open doors and back to us. He cocks his head.
Pointing to the outside, to freedom, I say, “Go on, boy!”
His nails clack-clack-clack on the hall tile as he runs in place for a second. Then he shoots out the front door like a black bullet. The three of us cheer.
I let the doors close.
Then, for reasons I will never understand, we turn toward the stairs, ours knives at the ready.
To be continued…
The ceiling in the Chapter House at York Minster. A chapter house or chapterhouse is a building or room that is part of a cathedral, monastery or collegiate church in which larger meetings are held. When attached to a cathedral, the cathedral chapter meets there.
The last one and a half decade, I have visited Greece many tmes. In cultural holidays with a teacher of ancient Greece and Latin as a guide, we have visited many archaeological sites in Greece, but also learned a lot about the Byzantine and Ottoman period, as well as modern Greek history. Very interesting!
In this picture, we are in Delphi at the archaeological museum, with the giant statues of Kleobis and Biton. Read their story by Herodotus here: www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.0...
The original picture was taken in May 2019, the two self portraits and the post-processing are of today.

"Twelfth-century quadripartite vaults" - that's something we don't hear every day. And this is something we don't see every day, though I wouldn't mind. I'd like to live in a room with this many arches.
