The Milky Way shines brighter, when seen from higher altitudes. A miniature chapel (a roadside memorial) was built as a guardian for safe passage at the Baros Pass, the highest in Greece at 6,237 ft (1901 m). The chapel’s Cross is soaring in the skyline as a pictorial reminder of The Almighty; the Cross stands higher than the signposts telling the passers-by which earthly direction to go in…

 

The Milky Way lies diagnonally above the The Cross. Four hundred billion stars appear like the jewels of its heavenly crown. Yes, there are approximately 4×10¹¹ stars in our galaxy. It was captured with its galactic core visible (20.6° above horizon) during a chilly night (on July 12, 2021 at 23:10’ hrs, 14℃︎). At high altitudes there is less atmospheric absorption of the stars’ light prior to reaching the eye or the camera.

 

The first verse οf David’s Psalm 19 (Old Testament) was chosen to serve as the shot’s title:

 

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

“I fancy having a go at the Armed Knight.”

 

Lloyd wasn’t declaring his intention to engage a fourteenth century nobleman in hand to hand combat as far as I could tell. Besides which I don’t think there are many of those left in these parts anymore; not since the chippy in St Just began closing its doors on a Saturday evening at any rate. He must have meant the sea stack at Land’s End, the one that’s so often overlooked in favour of the Enys Dodnan sea arch and Longships Lighthouse. Despite coming here plenty of times over the years, I’d only very rarely - just once as far as I could tell - made it the centre of attention, all too often making a beeline for exactly the same spot and shooting the same scene over and over. Of course it’s a great scene, never the same twice in my experience, but maybe I had been getting a little too single minded.

 

The Armed Knight suggestion seemed like a very good one to me. We’d been toying with the idea of Botallack, but the tide wasn’t quite where we wanted it to be, and perhaps we’d try that one later in the week instead. So with renewed purpose and the sense that I’d be shooting something different at Land’s End this time, I climbed into the car and headed west. I’m always glad for an excuse to head towards the Edge of Eternity, where you can stand at the edge of the cliffs and gaze towards the west. Just two thousand two hundred miles of ocean between here and Newfoundland after the Isles of Scilly. They’re very often visible from here, but not on this delightfully moody afternoon.

 

It wasn’t a day for changing lenses, and although the Armed Knight was going to be the main attraction, I had rapidly rearranged the inserts in the camera bag to include the telephoto lens, which I’d mounted separately on the crop body, for the odd rapid burst in the direction of Longships Lighthouse. But that’s another story - one that ran parallel to this adventure. So while the second set up lay close at hand, this camera sat on the tripod, often sheltering under a shower cap, waiting for the light to do something exciting. Lloyd and I were meeting for the first time since his previous visit to Cornwall a year earlier, and we planted our tripods a dozen yards apart, catching up in between shots, often losing entire sentences to the testing conditions around us. In strong winds it would be a bit of a challenge to capture the fury of the ocean, but if you don’t try, you don’t give yourself a chance of success. It also helps if you stand on the windward side of the camera and park yourself in the lee of a rocky outcrop, I so often find. Those granite fortresses at the edges of the land here not only make for compositional tools, they also act as shelters from the elements on days like this.

 

Things were going well. The parallel story was developing in those moments when the sun shone across the sea onto the lighthouse and its attendant cluster of rocks, and from time to time a glow would appear at the horizon, separated by drifts of driving rain to the south. It was the sort of day I enjoy most in these elemental corners of the landscape - ever changing, full of grimy mood, at times furious. The sort of day one might imagine JMW Turner in his oilskins, two hundred years earlier, dabbing spots of light onto his canvas against the murky dark inks of the ocean as the winds whipped around his easel.

 

While Lloyd stayed in the position we’d occupied for ninety minutes or more, I decided I might try another composition, and it was one that delivered my favourite moments of the day. The sea had by now taken on a shade of green that had to be seen to be believed, and the polariser intensified the colours throughout the scene. Those dabs of soft orange light continued to play at the edge of the sea, and from this much lower position I felt closer to everything. The weather was now coming straight at me, rather than from the side, and I knew that as I took this image it would be among the last moments before the payoff came in the form of an almighty bristling shower coming straight towards us.

 

Ten minutes later, we were back at the car park, shaking the rainwater from our clothes and camera bags. It had been an excellent reunion shoot. You know it’s been a good shoot when you’re soaked. And when you come away with two entirely different shots that tick your boxes, you’re always going to go home with a big wet grin from ear to ear. Even if the local chippy is closed.

USA Declares Trade War on Canada Day I - 10 images - Canon EOS 40D with Canon EF 28-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM (EOS mount) & Polarizer - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a writer.

 

The ten images in this series all use the 28 mm F3.5 setting on the Canon 28-135 zoom. Is the wide end of the zoom good enough to use as if it were a 28mm (45mm equivalent) F3.5 prime?

Vincent van Gogh (1853- 1890) Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear 1889 Oil paint on canwvas

This famous self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh expresses his artistic power and personal struggles

Van Gogh painted it in January 1889, a week after leaving hospital. He had received treatment there after cutting off most of his left ear (shown here as the bandaged right ear because he painted himself in a mirror). This self-mutilation was a desperate act committed a few weeks earlier, following a heated argument with his fellow painter Paul Gauguin.

Van Gogh's fur cap secures his thick bandage and wards off the winter cold. Created in harsh conditions, this self-portrait demonstrates Van Gogh's determination to continue painting, reinforced by the objects behind him: a canvas on an easel and a Japanese print, an important source of inspiration. Above all, it is Van Gogh's brushwork and powerful handling of colour that declare his renewed ambition as a painter.

In 2017, Country Living Magazine listed the T.B. Sutton General Store as one of the thirteen most charming country stores in the country. Southern Living Magazine recommended T.B. Sutton General Store as the number one store to visit during the summer of 2018. Built in the 1800's, this country store has continuously served the families of the area every since. These signs are mounted on the outside and continue to add to the charm of this amazing little store in Granville, Tennessee. And, it was also added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 7, 2019. More information can be found here:

Un des édifices modernistes les plus emblématiques de la ville. Œuvre de l’architecte Francisco de Mora y Berenguer réalisée d’après un projet de 1914. Bâtiment ouvert qui, occupant un pâté de maisons, s’intègre complètement dans l’espace environnant, et qui rappelle les anciennes échoppes sous bâches des marchés traditionnels. Suite à un grand projet de restauration, un des édifices modernistes les plus importants de la ville a été récupéré. La structure, les briques, la céramique et le bois ont été soumis à des traitements spécifiques ; l’élément restauré le plus significatif de l’enceinte est le « trencadís » (assemblage de petits morceaux de céramique irréguliers) qui couronne le portail d’origine. Le résultat est l’ouverture d’un point de rencontre citadin, avec une façade coloriste et valencienne qui rappelle les solutions structurales et décoratives du modernisme de Gaudi.

Autrefois un marché, il abrite aujourd’hui des étals de fleurs et les meilleurs restaurants, mais il a toujours été l’un des plus beaux bâtiments de Valencia. Le Mercado de Colón (Marché de Colón) a été conçu par l’architecte Francisco Mora Berenguer au début du XXe siècle, ce qui en fait l’une des œuvres les plus représentatives du modernisme valencien, rappelant par certaines de ses particularités les constructions de Gaudí pour Barcelone. À tel point qu’il a été déclaré monument national.

Il s’agit d’un grand bâtiment de 3 500 m², divisé en trois nefs, et dont les extrémités sont fermées par deux portes en brique et en pierre en forme d’arc de triomphe. De nombreuses décorations sont présentes sur sa façade colorée, avec des détails en céramique typiques de la région, ainsi qu’un portail artistique en fer forgé qui entoure l’installation. Tous les éléments ont fait l’objet d’une restauration méticuleuse. Aujourd’hui, la hauteur de son plafond et les nombreux accès font du Marché un espace ouvert et lumineux.

Conçu pour répondre aux besoins des classes bourgeoises de l’époque, ce bâtiment est encore de nos jours situé dans l’un des quartiers au plus fort pouvoir d’achat de la ville, l’Ensanche. Il accueille chaque jour de nombreux visiteurs, prêts à passer des heures sur ses terrasses, qui deviennent particulièrement bondées le week-end et avec l’arrivée du beau temps. Les horaires d’ouverture sont de 8h00 à 1h30 du matin, mais chaque lieu a ses propres horaires d’ouverture.

De nos jours, le Mercado de Colón (Marché de Colòn) abrite des magasins renommés, tels que Carnes Varea (boucherie) ou Frutería Fina (fruits et légumes), mais sa principale attraction sont les restaurants, parmi lesquels se distinguent Habitual de Ricard Camarena, Ma Khin Café ou Manglano. Las Cervezas del Mercado, la cafétéria Bocados ou le stand d’horchata de Daniel sont également populaires. La Floristería Baladre (fleuriste) a été la première à s’installer dans la cour, et elle partage aujourd’hui l’espace avec Vinos y Flores. Le lieu accueille également de nombreux événements, généralement liés au monde de la gastronomie.

 

One of the most emblematic modernist buildings in the city. Work of the architect Francisco de Mora y Berenguer based on a 1914 project. Open building which, occupying a block of houses, is completely integrated into the surrounding space, and which recalls the old stalls under tarpaulins of traditional markets . Following a major restoration project, one of the most important modernist buildings in the city has been recovered. The structure, the bricks, the ceramics and the wood have been subjected to specific treatments; the most significant restored element of the enclosure is the “trencadís” (assembly of small irregular ceramic pieces) that crowns the original portal. The result is the opening of a city meeting point, with a colorful and Valencian facade that recalls the structural and decorative solutions of Gaudi's modernism.

Once a market, today it houses flower stalls and the best restaurants, but it has always been one of the most beautiful buildings in Valencia. The Mercado de Colón (Colón Market) was designed by the architect Francisco Mora Berenguer at the beginning of the 20th century, making it one of the most representative works of Valencian modernism, recalling in some of its peculiarities the constructions of Gaudí for Barcelona. So much so that it has been declared a national monument.

It is a large building of 3,500 m², divided into three naves, and whose ends are closed by two brick and stone doors in the shape of a triumphal arch. Many decorations are present on its colorful facade, with ceramic details typical of the region, as well as an artistic wrought iron gate that surrounds the installation. All elements have been meticulously restored. Today, the height of its ceiling and the many accesses make the Market an open and bright space.

Designed to meet the needs of the bourgeois classes of the time, this building is still located today in one of the districts with the strongest purchasing power of the city, the Ensanche. It welcomes many visitors every day, ready to spend hours on its terraces, which become particularly crowded on weekends and with the arrival of good weather. The opening hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m., but each place has its own opening hours.

Nowadays, the Mercado de Colón (Colòn Market) houses well-known shops, such as Carnes Varea (butcher) or Frutería Fina (fruit and vegetables), but its main attraction are the restaurants, among which Habitual by Ricard Camarena stands out , Ma Khin Café or Manglano. Las Cervezas del Mercado, the Bocados cafeteria or Daniel's horchata stand are also popular. The Floristería Baladre (florist) was the first to move into the courtyard, and today it shares the space with Vinos y Flores. The place also hosts many events, usually related to the world of gastronomy.

Dear friend, here are 5 things you should know:

 

1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)

 

2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)

 

3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)

 

4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)

 

5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)

 

Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

 

Sincerely,

 

Someone who cares about you

The photo is of Doylestown Presbyterian Church.

 

The Presbyterian Congregation of Doylestown started when the Reverend Uriah DuBois came to Doylestown to found Union Academy in 1804, at what is now the corner of East Court and Broad Streets. The Academy served as a private school from its inception until August 1849, when it became part of the public school system. The building was razed in 1889 to make way for the Doylestown Borough School which was destroyed by fire in 1973.

 

The founding of the Union Academy in 1804 provided an opportunity for the first religious services in the community. The Reverend Uriah DuBois, pastor of the Deep Run Presbyterian Church in Bedminster Township several miles north of Doylestown, was the first principal of Union Academy, and one room in the Academy was set aside for use by all Christian denominations.

 

The Reverend DuBois divided his pastoral duties between Deep Run and Doylestown. In 1813, the year after Doylestown was made the county seat, the Presbyterians built their first church building on a lot purchased from John Shaw for $400. The new building was dedicated on August 13, 1815. It was constructed of stone, cost about $4200 to build, and stood on the site of the present church building. In 1871, the old church building was torn down and a new edifice was constructed facing East Court Street. The first building had faced Church Street. The new church edifice was dedicated on May 16, 1872. The Reverend DuBois continued to serve as pastor at Deep Run and Doylestown, as well as principal of the Union Academy, until his death in 1821. The congregation was served by supplies, interims, and short pastorates until the Reverend Silas Milton Andrews, D.D., came to serve as minister in 1831. Dr. Andrews' pastorate continued for fifty years. When he came in 1831, there were only 95 members in the two churches at Deep Run and Doylestown. By 1877, membership had grown to 400.

 

In 1913, the Deep Run and Doylestown congregations were officially merged to become the Deep Run-Doylestown Presbyterian Church. In 1957, a new church was established on the original site at Deep Run and both churches then resumed separate and respective histories.

 

In 1940, an educational building was constructed behind the church edifice on Mechanics Street. The building was enlarged in 1965 and renamed Andrews Hall in honor of Dr. Silas Andrews who served for fifty years as minister (1831-1881). In the fall of 2011, an eighteen-month project ended that included the expansion of Andrews Hall, renovation of the sanctuary, and construction of an enclosed bridge connecting the two buildings. At the same time, a new mission statement was approved declaring our ongoing resolve to be a "Bridge for Christ and a Beacon of His Love."

 

Since Dr. Andrews' ministry, the congregation has been served by the Reverends: William A. Patton, 1881-1890; W. Hayes Moore, 1890-1897; Robert M. Labaree, 1899-1904; John M. Waddell, 1904-1907; William E. Steckel, 1908-1920; George M. Whitenack, 1921-1937; Meyer M. Hostetter, 1938-1957; Dr. Thomas S. Goslin II, 1957-1967; George M. Haines, 1968-1970; Kenneth H. Hollenbaugh, 1971-1976; Dr. William C. Barger, 1978-2000; Dr. John M. Willingham, 2003-present.

“I declare this world is so beautiful that I can hardly believe it exists.”

Happy Macro Mondays Everyone :)

I declare these as record shots as they are taken in at Parkend, Forest of Dean. There was so little light when I arrived but the birds were around and therefore I grabbed these images before moving on to find the Boar. An ISO5000 setting was required as it was that dark.

 

Parkend has an area of grass, en-circled by Yew and Beech trees. A perfect location for these birds.

 

I do not really enjoy these locations as the birds are fed and so finding & seeing them is no challenge. Given the number of Hawfinch reports there have been in Q4 2017, I really ought to have gone looking. However, on the plus side it provides an ideal opportunity to see these bird close up, watch their flight and hear a variety of calls. As a learning exercise it is a wonderful experience.

I declare the season, for this kind of photography, in the Netherlands: Started ;-) I saw many of them mostly small ones.

The heavens declare the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1

After 6 plus times of driving 5 hours return to Emerald Lake at night over the years, finally got one that have all the perfect Aurora conditions here.

1. A beautiful foreground of the bridge and building

2. The sky is clear enough to see the star and Aurora.

3. The Aurora actually show up as predicted.

4. The Aurora has multiple colors rather than just green.

5. Perfect reflection from the pond without grass blocking it. Thanks to a fisherman wader that allows me to shoot in the middle of the pond instead of from shore.

6. The moon was also out to light up the beautiful mountain instead of just a black shadow of the mountain.

This is a single image with no stacking of other image involved.

Like everyone i guess :)

 

So yeah, I just keep on seeing all these pictures with HP theme in them, so I had to take mine!

 

I might not be fan n.1 (example: I don't have all the book, just the first-lame me!, but my cousin does and I've read them more than once), but when I was in 5th grade I bought the sticker album and finished it all! Took me a lot of time and a lot of money (about 50€?). I was obsessed, yes :)

There were a lot of swans down at Keyhaven on Saturday morning, but only this clever one was searching all the boats for contraband - lol

   

I declare February LOVE, romance and beauty month.

Two petals of a Rococo Parrot tulip... two fragments of one flower-head

We're having a gorgeous sunny day here today, and I spotted these lovely bursts of purple in the back yard. I'm declaring the end of winter.

The Peabody Hotel, completed in 1925, occupies the entire block bounded by Union Avenue, Second & Third Streets, and an un-named alley in Downtown Memphis. Built to replace the old Peabody which had stood at Main & Monroe Streets since 1869, both hotels were named for financier George Peabody, who had been a close friend of founder Robert Campbell Brinkley. Designed by the architectural firm of Walter W. Ahlschlager, Inc., it was the symbolic center of the social, cultural, and commercial life of the Mid-South region for over fifty years. It was also the largest and most elegant hotel in the south and represented the area's finest example of the opulence, grandeur, and complexity which characterized the era of the grand hotel.

 

With its grand opening ball in 1925, the hotel quickly established a reputation as the center of social life for the entire region. The Peabody's Night-Cap Club, Venetian Dining Room, and open-air Marine Roof (later partially enclosed and known as the Skyway and where the famous sign in the photograph above is located) soon became institutions among the socially elite of both Memphis and the rich Mississippi River delta areas of West Tennessee, eastern Arkansas, and northern Mississippi. The later 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's saw a steady stream of the wealthy and prominent flock to the Peabody to dine and dance to the music of such entertainers as George Hamilton, Les Brown, Harry James, Dorothy Lamour, Benny Goodman, and the Andrews Sisters. Beginning in 1937, the music of the Peabody's bands was broadcast nationwide on CBS radio.

 

As David Cohn wrote in 1935, "The Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg. The Peabody is the Paris Ritz, the Cairo Shepheard's, the London Savoy of this section. If you stand near its fountain in the middle of the lobby, where ducks waddle and turtles drowse, ultimately you will see everybody who is anybody in the Delta..."

 

The Peabody, as it's known to most, was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on September 14, 1977. All the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

وەک کێو .. بەرامبەر دوژمنانی میللەتەکەت

بــە کـــەرکـــوکــدا زانــیــم،

خـــیـــانـــەت ، چـــی لـــە دڵــــی مـــرۆڤ دەکــــا..

خاک و نیشتیمان وەکو دایک وایە

ئەوەی خاک و نیشتیمانەکەی بفروشیت

وەک ئەوە وایە دایکی خوی فروشتووە

  

"On this occasion, we cannot but remember those heroes and pay tribute to the memory of the martyrs."

 

The Temple of Saturn has eight surviving columns and was built in 42 BC. The older temple dated from 497 BC but the ruins are from 42 BC. Saturn was regarded as the god-king of Italy and every year at the end of December the Romans celebrated Saturn with the festival called Saturnalia. During the holidays the Romans couldn’t declare war or punish prisoners and the aristocrats would eat and drink with their slaves.

The likable robotic Turtle is exploring an alien planet to prepare the landing of the famous Exo Suit when he/she (one day we should choose, maybe voting…or rolling a dice) runs into the pathetic evildoers of the First Order, in the form of a Stormtrooper patrol.

 

“Hey look! A turtle droid!” Exclaims one of the Stormtroopers.

“Are you sure it’s a droid? It can be a real turtle inside an armor.” The other Stormtrooper objects.

“A turtle inside an armor?! Where do you get these ideas?”

“Well, I thought if we can build a super weapon of plot destruction that violates any known law of physics someone could put a turtle in a armor…”

“That’s a good point” declares the first Stormtrooper.

 

“But who cares? I say to kill this thing and have some fun”

“Yeah but we torture it first!”

“Of course! Ha Ha!”

 

Our robotic friend moves the head up and down, looking at the silly troopers and as they attempt to draw their weapons the brave Turtle fires the blaster cannons putting the two First Order servants out of commission.

 

Next time the followers of the Tantrum Knight will think twice before bothering our little friend because…

 

No one messes with the Space Turtle.

 

Now it’s time to go back to exploration duties.

 

Those First Order Stormtroopers always end up in such unpleasing situations hehe :)

 

I hope you like this photo :)

"We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful."

671. No method of approach declares the insignificance of quality; but there are many of them that emphatically state that quantity is which really counts and which is determinant.

 

672. The quantitative approach will emerge and gain importance as soon as the capability for considering the essence of things declines and ceases in man.

 

673. Quantitative aspects have no value at all, because value is, essentially, attached to quality.

 

674. The potentia passiva pura is neither quantity, nor quality - but actuality that transfers to the pure passive potentiality by the abandonment of its actuality in quality.

 

676. Quantity is by the side of chaos.

 

677. In the cosmos - right because it is cosmos - quantity cannot gain full control.

 

678. (René Guénon) If there were absolutely no qualitative difference between two beings, there would be no quantitative difference between them either, i.e. the two beings would be one.

Metaphysical aphorisms by András László

When this Owl thought there was another male in his territory , he flew to the highest point in the area( a simple dirt mound), hunkered down and began calling while turning his body to ensure his call covered a direction of at least 180 degrees.

 

In all of my observations of Burrowing Owls, I had never seen this behavior before. It was most entertaining and impressive---- wish I had a video of the entire display to show everyone.
