A lone backpack and cardboard mat with a large "Corn Flakes" box on the opposing side define some poor soul's home for the night. Yet the church, warm and comfortable, sits there all locked up hoping God is looking the other way. Maybe "Where the Doors are Locked" would be better.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

the macromonday theme for today, 8/27, is to define beauty with a picture and a quote. this possibility is a fused glass circle that caught my eye and really really wanted to come home with me, instead of just being photographed. while i love this, it might be too large-- i have to measure this portion to see and i really like the tiny flower for today-- so probably no dithering :):)
The other day I posted an old picture from 2009 showing the outfit I wore for my first time out in public so I thought I'd keep the theme running. This picture was taken the following year when I finally decided to say goodbye to my hairy legs by shaving them so I could wear natural tights and saying goodbye to my black bob wig and go for a long blonde look.
I remember when I looked at this picture all those years ago thinking "do you know what I may even be pretty". It got my pulse racing and made me all the more committed to exploring my feminine side in even greater detail.
bhaand me jaye serenity, mother sister ho gaya tha yeh ek pic lene me.
Meaning:- we both were competing and i was crashing all the time as usual but still i managed i'm happy :)
Defining what is Romanesque seemed easy enough at first: anything that’s pre-Gothic Mediæval art and architecture. But of course, as one progresses, one realizes that it is more complicated than that, as scholars much more learned than ourselves have been ferociously disputing the concept since Charles de Gerville invented it in December 1818.
However, one thing is for sure: around 1630, the age of Romanesque was most certainly over.
And yet, around that date, among a group of monks who had fled the Cluniac priory of Nantua and taken refuge in the remote village of Cheignieu-la-Balme in the hope of escaping the rampant plague that was decimating populace and clerics alike, there was one Dom Claude du Plastre who had this small chapel built, and I’ll be damned if it is not mostly Romanesque in inspiration, with a Gothic rib vaulting over the choir: look at this beautiful barrel vault over the nave, look at this lovely Romanesque windows with their slightly broken arches...!
Dedicated to Saint Claude, this chapel is private property, but small events, like chamber music concerts, are organized there, the acoustics are excellent.
I photographed it in the course of my pro bono photographic work for the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, and contrary to most of the other churches I had to shoot in the département of Ain (southeastern France), this one was pure pleasure.
The nicely appareled southern wall, with a small buttress supporting the triumphal arch and two distinctly Romanesque windows. Too bad the boorish neighbor prefers to set up their junkyard against that wall, instead of admiring it... Boors will be boors.
.....well it goes on and on and on and on, on and on and on.

thick blanket,
veiled the sky,
dawn light prevented,
mist coving,
tiny water drops covering,
every leaf,
branch,
twig,
flower and web,
clarity of the world reduced to detail,
droplets hanging,
defining the hidden,
able to see clearly,
what usually unseen,
time to stop,
breath,
time to reflect,
ponder,
dream,
once mists clear,
return to labour,
serving humanity.
Patina- is defined as a surface appearance of something grown beautiful especially with age due to the various oxides in metals.
War... War never changes...and cool old trucks also never changes their cool :P
This actually has nothing to do with Fallout ... When I did my @newelementary review parts fest, I threw this truck in the background. It was actually built many months prior....
About a year ago @1saacbricks reached out and asking for feedback on his awesome T1 ... yeah... you were as confused as I was, I'm not exactly known for cars, so asking for feedback on cars was kinda odd... though he was more concerned about this concept of 'Patina cars' - After reading up and some back and forth suggestions on working on his, I thought it would be fun to try it myself... so I built this old school truck.
It's not as fancy as Isaac's, and not based on a particular truck but I was pretty happy with it with a few days work....
And it basically sat there waiting for Issac to finish his part of our patina collaboration ;)
