close up, couldn't resist it, the colours, even on an overcast day, were wonderful and I loved the Saltire and the Scottish motto "nemo me impune lacessit" - no-one touches me with impunity. You can see the same motto enscribed above the gates to nearby Edinburgh Castle and it was a visit there which is said to be where Jules Verne got the name for Captain Nemo - essentially Captain No-one, a man with no name and no nation any longer.
close up to show the gorgeous colours and details in the main windows above the altar. Greyfriars is a wonderful spot to visit in Edinburgh, steeped in the city's and the nation's history for over four centuries, it is very welcoming to visitors and also hosts some beautiful concerts (the acoustics are wonderful for classical and choral music). It is still a 'working' church though so make sure not to visit during services (unless you are attending, I mean).
I remember at the time the combination of sun placement and the vast diversity of colours on display bothered my eyes quite a bit.

Eigentlich hatte ich heute etwas anderes vor, aber jetzt ist es dieses Foto geworden. Nix Dolles, aber immerhin ein Foto für Heute :))
Der Spruch ist mir wieder eingefallen und ich finde, er passt irgendwie gut.
Er ist von Sir Winston Churchill.
Wünsche allen einen schönen Sonntagabend und einen tollen Start in die nächste Woche :)
EPS shows off new Colours and crest at special ceremony
The Edmonton Police Service unveiled its new Colours and redesigned crest today at a ceremony in City Hall.
Until now, the EPS did not have battle honours, despite losing seven police officers on the front lines, who gave the ultimate sacrifice while fighting the constant war on crime.
“The Colours were created for the primary purpose to honour the memory of those members,” says EPS Staff Sgt. Adrian Marr. “Secondly, they are to provide for members of the Service, a focus of pride by tangibly representing what the Service stands for and the sacrifices its members have made.”
The EPS Colours were designed and approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority in 2004. The Colours are dark blue with a gold fringe. Inside the fringe are embroidered wild roses and maple leafs. In the centre is the new EPS crest. Around the badge are embroidered the Names in Memorial, of officers who had been killed in the line of duty. The Colours were blessed and consecrated by Chaplain Kurt Schmidlin and Lt. Gov. Norman Kwong.
The new EPS crest was also unveiled at the event. Since the formation of the Edmonton Police Service in 1892 the police flash has evolved from a simple nameplate to a symbolic emblem that represents the allegiance and pride of those who serve in the profession. The redesigned crest is the very first EPS Heraldic emblem which was granted official approval by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The motto on the crest – integrity, courage, community – express the character of the Edmonton Police Service.
This was our third day of our stay in Wanaka for the Anzac blipmeet, April 26, 2015, Central Otago in New Zealand. It rained all night and just kept raining all day but it was warm. The rain cleared in the evening.

The photo shows all kinds of colours and proves the olive green colour of the oil that I use already for many many years: the oil from Felea Goods in Crete, Greece. I use it in the food, daily, and also as a skin care product, home made: a body oil, and handmade soap that even can be used as a shampoo bar.
More about my new product soon.
