As the light at Goodman turned green, I was somehow lucky enough to get a clear shot of the front of the Chick-fil-A. The poles all appear bent in this photo: it must be due to taking the shot through a closed window.

Chosen: Hundreds prepare to enter into Church at Easter
Story and photos by Andrew Junker | March 15, 2011 | The Catholic Sun
Hundreds of men, women and children filed into a packed Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral March 13, and left transformed.
True, they didn’t look any different after the completion of the Rite of Election, but, as said Fr. Kieran Kleczewski, executive director of diocesan Office of Worship and Liturgy, changed they were.
“Our catechumens after this litrugy are no longer catechumens,” he said, “but are among the elect.”
Catechumens are those unbaptized people who are preparing to enter the Church this Easter. As catechumens, they have begun to attend classes at their parishes where they learn Catholic theology and join together in study.
More than 700 will enter the Church this Easter. That includes more than 200 adults, children and teens who have yet to be baptized.
The number also includes more than 1,000 Christians baptized in another faith who will be confirmed in the Catholic faith.
The Rite of Election recognizes that these catechumens are ready to receive the sacraments of initiation: baptism, confirmation and first Holy Communion.
“What a joy to be with you today as we elect our brothers and sisters to come into the Catholic Church this Easter,” said Bishop Eduardo Nevares during the liturgy.
The bishop preached about the need for baptism in our fallen world. The sacrament exists to help repair the damage done by Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden.
“God’s very breath — that Holy Spirit — was first breathed into Adam and Eve, and it was God’s will that Adam and Eve be His special creation,” he said. “That is why mankind is so distinct from the animal world, because we have the breath of God.”
Bishop Nevares preached that through the gift of Himself, God was able to reestablish a never ending relationship with men and women so that the breath of God might live in them forever.
“We are God’s children now,” he said. “In the sacrament of baptism you will be able to be healed, restored and renewed. God will proclaim over each and every one of you baptized, ‘You are my beloved child.’”
During the liturgy, representatives of each parish brought forth a book with the names of each community’s elect inscribed in it. Bishop Nevares stood at the altar and signed each book.
“Together, may we continue to draw close to the Lord,” he said.

Christ Church, built almost on the corner of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street in Brunswick, is a picturesque slice of Italy in inner city Melbourne. With its elegant proportions, warm yellow stuccoed facade and stylish Romanesque campanile, the church would not look out of place sitting atop a rise in Tuscany, or being the centre of an old walled town. This idea is further enhanced when the single bell rings from the campanile, calling worshipers to prayer.
Christ Church has been constructed in a cruciform plan with a detached campanile. Although not originally intended as such, at its completion, the church became an excellent example of "Villa Rustica" architecture in Australia. Like other churches around the inner city during the boom and bust eras of the mid Nineteenth Century as Melbourne became an established city, the building was built in stages between 1857 and 1875 as money became available to extend and better what was already in existence. Christ Church was dedicated in 1857 when the nave, designed by architects Purchas and Swyer, was completed. The transepts, chancel and vestry were completed between 1863 and 1864 to the designs created by the architects' firm Smith and Watts. The Romanesque style campanile was also designed by Smith and Watts and it completed between 1870 and 1871. A third architect, Frederick Wyatt, was employed to design the apse which was completed in 1875.
Built in Italianate style with overture characteristics of classical Italian country house designs, Christ Church is one of the few examples of what has been coined "Villa Rustica" architecture in Victoria.
Slipping through the front door at the bottom of the campanile, the rich smell of incense from mass envelops visitors. As soon as the double doors which lead into the church proper close behind you, the church provides a quiet refuge from the busy intersection of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street outside, and it is quite easy to forget that cars and trams pass by just a few metres away. Walking up the aisle of the nave of Christ Church, light pours over the original wooden pews with their hand embroidered cushions through sets of luminescent stained glass windows by Melbourne manufacturers, Ferguson and Urie, Mathieson and Gibson and Brooks Robinson and Company. A set of fourteen windows from the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century by Ferguson and Urie depicting different saints are especially beautiful, filled with painted glass panes which are as vivid now as when they were created more than one hundred years ago. The floors are still the original dark, richly polished boards that generations of worshipers have walked over since they were first laid. The east transept houses the Lady Chapel, whilst the west transept is consumed by the magnificent 1972 Roger H. Pogson organ built of cedar with tin piping. This replaced the original 1889 Alfred Fuller organ. Beautifully executed carved rood figures watch over the chancel from high, perhaps admiring the marble altar.
Albert Purchas, born in 1825 in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales, was a prominent Nineteenth Century architect who achieved great success for himself in Melbourne. Born to parents Robert Whittlesey Purchas and Marianne Guyon, he migrated to Australia in 1851 to establish himself in the then quickly expanding city of Melbourne, where he set up a small architect's firm in Little Collins Street. He also offered surveying services. His first major building was constructing the mansion "Berkeley Hall" in St Kilda on Princes Street in 1854. The house still exists today. Two years after migrating, Albert designed the layout of the Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton. It was the first "garden cemetery" in Victoria, and his curvilinear design is still in existence, unaltered, today. In 1854, Albert married Eliza Anne Sawyer (1825 - 1869) in St Kilda. The couple had ten children over their marriage, including a son, Robert, who followed in his father's footsteps as an architect. Albert's brother-in-law, Charles Sawyer joined him in the partnership of Purchas and Sawyer, which existed from 1856 until 1862 in Queens Street. The firm produced more than 140 houses, churches, offices and cemetery buildings including: the nave and transepts of Christ Church St Kilda between 1854 and 1857, "Glenara Homestead"in Bulla in 1857, the Melbourne Savings Bank on the corner of Flinders Lane and Market Street (now demolished) between 1857 and 1858, the Geelong branch of the Bank of Australasia in Malop Street between 1859 and 1860, and Beck's Imperial Hotel in Castlemaine in 1861. When the firm broke up, Albert returned to Little Collins Street, and the best known building he designed during this period was St. George's Presbyterian Church in East St Kilda between 1877 and 1880. The church's tall polychomatic brick bell tower is still a local landmark, even in the times of high rise architecture and development, and St, George's itself is said to be one of his most striking church designs. Socially, Albert was vice president of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects for many years, before becoming president in 1887. He was also an inventor and philanthropist. Albert died in 1909 at his home in Kew, a wealthy widower and much loved father.

On completion she joined her sister ship Neuralia in the Calcutta service until the First World War when she was taken up in August 1914 as a troopship to carry Territorial army soldiers out to India to relieve the regular garrison.
In January 1915 she was converted to a hospital ship with accommodation for 60 wounded and was employed as such until March 1918 with most of her service in this guise being from India to Basra, Suez and East Africa.
March 1918 saw revert to trooping under the Liner Requisition Scheme involving some trans-Atlantic trips
During this period she had two encounters with German submarines being attacked by U151 in June 1918which was on the surface and attacked with gunfire; she drove the submarine off with her stern gun and used her speed to flee the enemy. She was attacked again, this time the submarine being U155 when approaching the USA coast and again escaped using her speed.
She was returned to BI in 1920 and traded between London and Bombay.
She was employed for schools cruises between 1935 and 1937 and took part in the Coronation Review in 1937.
Called up again for the Second World War where she was again used for trooping that was to take her to most theatres of the war being used after the war in repatriation duties until released back to BI in Jan 1948.
Due to her age and hard usage in the war she was sold for scrap to BISCO in March 1948 and was taken to Bo’ness to be broken up.

The Kurhaus Meran, built partly in the 19th and partly in the early 20th century, is an outstanding example of spa architecture in the South Tyrolean town of Merano. The completion of the Kurhaus on the Passer Promenade marked the end of the transformation of Merano into a spa town. The building serves today as event center.
History
The older section of the Kurhaus was built in 1873 according to plans of the architect Ludwig Förster. Just a few years after its completion, two competitions for the construction of a new spa building in place of the old one were announced. Among the participating architects were, inter alia, Wilhelm Kürschner, Marcel Kammerer, Max Langheinrich and Musch & Lun. Finally, the contract was awarded to Friedrich Ohmann, who together with the builder Pietro Delugan built the "new spa house" from 1912 to 1914. However, the First World War prevented the completion of the construction project so that the new tract was directly attached to the preserved old tract.
Specifications
The older wing from the 19th century uses a Historicist style inventory. Its central hall of mirrors is today known as the "Pavillon de Fleurs".
Group of dancing girls over the middle risalit
The new wing, on the other hand, is an Art Nouveau building. The large entrance foyer is closed by a dome upwards. Towards the Passer Promenade, it is complemented by a convexly curved central risalit with columns and balconies as well as a sculpture of dancing girls standing above the triangular pediment. The "Grand Kursaal" consists of three longitudinal naves, the middle of which is spanned by a barrel vault. The new wing is equipped with works by the painter Rudolf Jettmar, who decorated the building with flower-scattering creatures, female geniuses and the victory of the sun over the winter.
Das teils im 19. und teils im frühen 20. Jahrhundert errichtete Kurhaus Meran ist ein herausragendes Beispiel der Kurarchitektur in der Südtiroler Stadt Meran. Die Vollendung des Kurhauses an der Passer-Promenade markierte den Höhe- und Schlusspunkt der Umgestaltung Merans in eine Kurstadt. Das Bauwerk dient heute als Veranstaltungszentrum.
Geschichte
Der ältere Trakt des Kurhauses wurde 1873 nach Plänen des Architekten Ludwig Förster erbaut. Bereits wenige Jahre nach seiner Vollendung wurden zwei Wettbewerbe zur Errichtung eines neuen Kurhauses an der Stelle des alten ausgeschrieben. Zu den teilnehmenden Architekten zählten u. a. Wilhelm Kürschner, Marcel Kammerer, Max Langheinrich und Musch & Lun. Den Zuschlag erhielt schließlich Friedrich Ohmann, der zusammen mit dem Baumeister Pietro Delugan von 1912 bis 1914 das „neue Kurhaus“ errichtete. Allerdings verhinderte der Erste Weltkrieg die Vollendung des Bauprojekts, sodass der neue Trakt direkt an den weiterhin erhaltenen alten Trakt angebaut wurde.
Baubeschreibung
Der ältere Trakt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert bedient sich eines historistischen Stilinventars. Sein zentraler Spiegelsaal ist heute als „Pavillon de Fleurs“ bekannt.
Gruppe tanzender Mädchen über dem Mittelrisalit
Der neue Trakt hingegen ist ein Jugendstil-Bau. Das große Eingangsfoyer wird durch eine Kuppel nach oben abgeschlossen. Zur Passer-Promenade hin ist er durch einen konvex gebogenen Mittelrisalit mit Säulen und Balkonen sowie einer über dem Dreiecksgiebel stehenden Skulptur tanzender Mädchen ergänzt. Der „Große Kursaal“ besteht aus drei Längsschiffen, von denen das mittlere von einem Tonnengewölbe überspannt ist. Ausgestattet ist der neue Trakt durch Arbeiten des Malers Rudolf Jettmar, der den Bau mit blumenstreuenden Wesen, weiblichen Genien und dem Sieg der Sonne über den Winter ausschmückte.

The rebuilding of, 699.01, Sir Drefaldwyn. Photograph taken on 28th August 2014 in the workshops of the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway
A plausible cause for me being sick until now is all the work I put into my kitchen this past week. Nonetheless, it was well worth it. It's far from a gourmet kitchen, but I feel a sense of peace when I'm preparing food in there. It's amazing how far your dollar can stretch if a little investment in time and sweat equity is made. I'm pretty proud of what I accomplished here, and am confident that the work I put into this I will receive back ten fold.
Certificate Distribution ceremony among teaches after completion of
ECD training.
CHITRAL: Certificate Distribution ceremony was held at Eagle Eyes
Education Institution (EEEI) Dulomos after completion of 20 days
Early Childhood development (ECD) for 18 teachers from different
schools. Dr. Mir Afzal Tajik head of professional Development Center
Aga Khan University was chief guest on the occasion. Mrs. Maryam
educationist from Canada said while addressing the occasion that
learning process is starting from first day of the birth upto 4 years.

years of age but that was wrong and according to latest research
mental level of children growth from zero to four years. She said
that the program was introduced by Canadian organization in Chitral
Pakistan to render ECD training to teachers for imparting quality
education to children. Some participants also expressed their views
regarding this training belonging to very far flung and remote areas
of Chitral. They said that after completion of this 20 days training
they enabled them to teach their students in playing and not be
torture them because their mental growth stop due to torturing and
aggression. Dr. Mir Afzal Tajik said that mostly we enroll our
children in schools after 5 or 7 years and they learn more wrong
things during this period so a teacher first remove these from their
mental and like brain washing and then teach them. So we should to
enroll our children in very early age. He said that concept of ECD has
been introduced 4 years ago and it is very fruitful especially for
children look after and their caring that how they should teach in
early age and by which means and sources. At last chief guest

Born Cathedral de la Seu, Barcelona, Spain
If I remember correctly this cathedral was started in the 1300's and took many years to completion. It is in what is referred to as the Gothic part of the city where the Roman occupation lived. What we see today is built over the top of the Roman ruins.
Tripods were not allowed in the cathedral. I had a small one that was in my pocket that I attached to my camera and braced against pews, columns, whatever I could use. Just could not expand it and set it on the floor - the Priests would have not been happy with me!
Because of the constraints I was under to create the image I needed to straighten the image first, then worked with the color balance and the stained glass windows. HDR Tone helped get some more. You can see people at the bottom of this picture to get an idea of the huge scale of this building. They did not think 20 foot ceilings in the old cathedrals in Europe. Got most of it...
I would add an experience I had in London, UK, at Westminster Abbey that I have laughed about for years. The first time I entered the Abbey I was admonished by one of the Priests on my way into the building that ‘Photography is not allowed in the Abbey!’. I visited the Abbey several times over a period of 3 weeks and received the same admonishment every time. UNTIL Monday of my last week when a Priest who had given me the standard admonishment several times broke mold and told me ‘Photography is allowed in the Abbey on Wednesday between 6 and 8 if I could come back?’. Bet you last Cheeto I came back! On the way in about 5:45 I received the standard admonishment, but at the stroke of 6 a priest approached me to ask if he could help me get a picture of something in particular. They brought out short step stools, gave advice, talked history of what I was shooting. It was really fun. But at the stroke of 8 the Priest who was so helpful folded up the step stool and said ‘Photography is not allowed in the Abbey’ with a wicked grin.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk on the near-complete South Rd Superway, due for completion in the next few months! What a sight!
