Ute Theater and Events Center, 132 East 4th Street, Rifle, Colorado. The original Ute Theatre on East 3rd Street was opened in 1935 as a 300-seat theatre located in a former retail store. It was destroyed by a fire in 1944. In 1948 this new Ute Theatre was opened, designed by architect Donald J. Monson. It had 600 seats all on a single floor. Later it was known as the Rifle Creek Theatre. In the spring of 2010, a group of citizens came together and formed a non-profit corporation naming it the ‘New Ute Theatre Society’, NUTS for short. Comprised of downtown business owners, contractors and community visionaries, the group set out to rebuild the theatre to its original Art Deco architecture. It was a daunting task, as City resources were scarce after witnessing the most recent oil and gas decline in Western Colorado. Today the theatre hosts movies and performing arts events.
"The dead of night was our projection. It made us the armor we needed to search and destroy those who wanted to weaken us and our homeland."
Just another ww1 scene I wanted to make. Came out pretty solid I think. Poor Jerries never saw it coming. What do you think?
Thank You & God Bless!

If you go a couple photos back in my Photostream you will see a Diorama with this in the lower right corner. Several people asked for it. Thanks for viewing,
-Jake.
IF YOU FAVORITE, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.
Also, tomorrow I will upload a couple of new scenes, including one that has some more Forced Perspective.
I added Renegade because this was inspired by him, and Junkie just for the fun of it.
Chris, we need to catch up on Skype boi.
And one last thing, thanks for all the views! I am reaching my all time record at about 250-350 views a day!
this was pillar of a bridge at street no 1 in iceland.. the glacier flood destroyed it and changed the whole nature there in 1996. The Grímsvötn volcano frequently causes large jökulhlaups from Vatnajökull. The 1996 eruption caused a peak flow of 50,000 m3/s and lasted for several days.
I’d been to this spot a number of times, but I’d never experienced conditions like this. Saying that I was excited for this to unfold would be a considerable understatement. As always, temperamental changing weather brought magic. This was the front end of a storm rolling in - the combination of still water, warm light breaking through the clouds, and haze/rain in the distance didn’t last long. After just a few minutes the wind picked up destroying the reflection - if you look close you can see the rain had already started when I captured this image.
Also, one of my favourite things about editing and reviewing images is finding the little details I missed when I was shooting. If you look close on the right hand side of the image you’ll see a fellow camper in awe of the scene unfolding as well. I had no idea he/she was in this scene when I shot it - I was too excited about the conditions! I still have no idea who this is, but I like to think it's someone I spoke to while camping there. Their body language really echoed how I was feeling in the moment frankly - just drop what you’re doing and get a look at this!
Contrary to rumour, very few fungi are fatally poisonous. About 2% might give you funny dreams or an upset stomach but few kill. The destroying angel is an exception - it is as poisonous and acts similarly to the death cap. I have always wanted to see one but mercifully they are quite rare. So today was a real highlight - my first ever Amanita virosa.

Marksburg Castle is the only hilltop castle along the Rhine which has never been destroyed.
In the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley there is a castle to be found every 2.5 kilometres on average, with over 40 of them still more or less intact. Many can be seen along the riverbanks and hilltops, and a lot of them are open to visitors. The vast majority of these castles, however,are relatively recent constructions of the 19th and 20th century. Most medieval castles had become ruins due to destruction and abandonment, and had fallen into disrepair.
Celebrated today February 17th in Europe; so today you're allowed to destroy the dolls...you do it anyway every other day :)
This year we end the Seven Days of Thanksgiving series in Paprihaven on the day after. Why? While it is wonderful to have a day set aside specifically to acknowledge our impossible debt to God by expressing our gratitude, every day should truly be a day of thanksgiving. After the amazing celebration at the Simmons,* the girls are back at Tracy's house.
Tracy: Wow. So tired. What a great time. Thank you, God.
Buckley: I'm so stuffed! I'll sleep on this bench if I can't make it upstairs.
Tracy: Who said you're staying here??
Buckley: You gotta be responsible, Trace! You can't let me drive home in this condition.
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: You're not drunk! You don't even drink!
Buckley: I'm loaded with tryptophan. I can't make it. I'm DONE FOR, offissaaAAaa!
Briar: HAHA! What's 'trippafan'?
Tracy: It's an amino acid in turkey that people say makes you sleepy. I think what happened is we all just ate too much.
Briar: I ate sooooo much! I looooved that corn casserole! Who made that?
Tracy: I think Honor did.
Buckley: Ooohhh, I'm gonna pop. Let's just all get in bed, under the covers, and tell stories til we fall asleep.
Briar: That's FUN!
Buckley: But y'all GOTTA CARRY ME UUUUUUP!
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: Oh, good grief. I'm stuck with both of you tonight. Are you sure you even have homes? You're always here.
Buckley: Oh! Haha! On Paprichat, Sheila Harper posted a video of her poodle grabbing a piece of turkey from the table!
Briar: I want to see that!
Tracy: Can you not be on your phone for like two seconds? And, I want to see too. And, who's Sheila Harper?
Buckley: She's got that pretty green Jaguar? Always real shiny? **
Tracy: Oh, yes.
Briar: I wanna see the video!
Buckley: Then come over here.
Briar: Can't move. You come over here.
Buckley: Uh uh.
Briar: BuuUUUUCK!!!
Buckley: You're outta luck, kid.
*WOOF!*
Briar: Hey, Biff!
Buckley: The Biffster!
Tracy: Wow, what a great day. And now we're just chilling. Peace. Joy. Love. God is good.
Buckley: All the TIME!
Briar: All the time!
Tracy: And, all the time...
Buckley: God is GOOD!
Briar: God is good!
Tracy: Bible challenge, then we somehow struggle upstairs. God's loving kindness. Psalm 117:2, "For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord!"
Briar: Psalm 63:3, "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You."
...
Tracy: Buckley...
Buckley: Um... What's the one? "Please answer me God because you are loving and kind... and compassionate?"
Tracy: Close enough! Psalm 69:16, "Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me." Okay, upstairs! Up!

God wants you to give thanks.
Well, Thanksgiving came and went. Did your gratitude last beyond your afternoon nap? For many, that’s the extent of their thanksgiving—a one-time, get-it-out-of-the-way holiday that reminds them to reflect on how blessed they are. Too often and too quickly, people resort back to being ingrates. But God wills us to be thankful all the time, in all things. That’s the point of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where Paul says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” So if you’re saved, Spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering, you have one thing left to do in order to follow God’s will—be saying thanks.
Paul’s simple, direct command—in everything give thanks—allows believers no excuse for harboring ingratitude. In everything carries an unlimited requirement. It refers to everything that occurs in life. With the obvious exception of personal sin, we are to express thanks for everything. No matter what struggles or trials, God commands us to find reasons for thanking Him always (Acts 5:41; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-9). That’s His will.
If you’re not obeying that command, you’re not following God’s will. Think of it like this: If gratitude doesn’t come easy for you, neither will finding God’s will. Or to put it another way, if you struggle with being thankful, you’ll struggle with following God’s will. Need some motivation? Here are some reasons God wills you to be thankful:
God commands it:
Gratitude should come naturally to believers in response to all God has done on their behalf, but because of our hardness of heart, God enjoins us to thanksgiving with commands (Philippians 4:6; Colossians 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Therefore, all forms of ingratitude are sinful. Paul commanded the Colossians, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
When Paul describes the believer’s Spirit-filled life, he writes, “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father” (Ephesians 5:20). God doesn’t merely command those expressions of gratitude and leave believers helpless to comply. He enables us to articulate them (Philippians 2:13), and is pleased when we do.
Joni Eareckson Tada, who was involved in an accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down, writes, “Giving thanks is not a matter of feeling thankful, it's a matter of obedience.”
Thankfulness acknowledges God’s sovereignty:
The single, greatest act of worship you can render to God is to thank Him. It’s the epitome of worship because through gratitude, we affirm God as the ultimate source of both trial and blessing—and acknowledge our humble acceptance of both.
With a thankful heart, you can say in the midst of anything, “God be praised.” That kind of attitude looks beyond the circumstance to the plan of God. It sees beyond the pain to the sovereignty of God. It remembers, “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). An attitude of thankfulness enables us to deal with those who wrong us, saying with Joseph, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). Those who are thankful see the providential hand of God everywhere and say, “God, I thank You for the peaceful times as well as the hard times—a difficult marriage, a challenging job, a severe illness—because I know You will use those things for my good and Your glory.”
The grateful Christian remembers that suffering perfects, confirms, strengthens, and establishes him (1 Peter 5:10). God wills that kind of thankfulness.
God judges ingratitude:
William Shakespeare wrote, “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ingratitude thou marble hearted fiend.” If Shakespeare understood the hostile attitude behind thanklessness, imagine what God must think about it.
Ingratitude is the very essence of an unregenerate heart, ranking among the most intolerable sins in Scripture. The apostle Paul identified unbelievers as ungrateful: “For even though they knew God [through conscience and general revelation], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). Because man in his pride fails to honor and glorify God as Creator, he also refuses to thank Him for His gracious provision. Ingratitude betrays unbelief, and both sins bring about God’s judgment.
Although God is the source of every good thing that men possess—giving life, breath, rain, sunshine, and other natural blessings to the just and unjust alike (Matthew 5:45; Acts 14:15–17)—the natural man refuses to thank Him. In his fallen mind, to thank God is to acknowledge his own obligation to worship Him.
In summary, God wills our being thankful in all things because gratitude is the ultimate expression of a transformed heart. But thanklessness can infest and destroy a church, marriage, family and home. So cultivate a heart of gratitude. Be thankful for all things and in all circumstances. That’s God’s will. Are you following it?

The graveyards in Normandy used to be around the church. Some towns and villages moved their graveyards in the 19th century, when there was not enough space any more. The graveyard in Carsix stayed at the church.
The church Saint-Martin of Carsix was built in the 12th century. Or rather, the nave was built in the 12th century. The choir was rebuilt in the 14th century. That's the smaller part, that hangs on the bigger part. The bell tower was built in the 16th century. The door towards the street and the woodwork of the roof of the nave was restored in the 16th century. There was a restoration in the 19th century by an architect called Simon from Rouen. And he destroyed the pilgrim's graffiti, and maybe more.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

This abbey, founded in V century, still during the Roman Empire, is one of the oldest monasteries in France. It was devastated by the Arab and Viking raids, and was finally looted and destroyed following the French Revolution. All that remains is the XI century church facing the Vieux-Port harbor.
Это аббатство, основанное в V веке ещё во времена Римской империи, - один из старейших монастырей во Франции. Оно разорялось несколько раз во время рейдов викингов и арабов на Марсель, и окончательно было разграблено и разрушено в ходе Французской революции. Всё что от монастыря осталось это церковь XI века на берегу гавани Старого Порта.
Wise men once said
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
A rose by any other name is a scandal
Cautions issued, he stood
Shooting the messengers
They tried to warn him about her
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Wise men once said
"One bad seed kills the garden"
"One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"
Locked me up in towers
But I'd visit in your dreams
And they tried to warn you about me
Cross your thoughtless heart
Only liquor anoints you
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Devils that you know
Raise worse hell than a stranger
She's the death you chose
You're in terrible danger
And when that sky rains fire on you
And you're persona non grata
I'll tell you how I've been there too
And that none of it matters
Wise men once read fake news
And they believed it
Jackals raised their hackles
You couldn't conceive it
You were sleeping soundly
When they dragged you from your bed
And I tried to warn you about them
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Spread my wings like a parachute
I'm the albatross
I swept in at the rescue
The devil that you know
Looks now more like an angel
I'm the life you chose
And all this terrible danger
(This terrible danger)
So cross your thoughtless heart
She's the albatross
She is here to destroy you
Yes, I have a new most favorite song since I've got the CD with bonus track after album's release and was able to finally listen to it. xD And I also have quite of collection of very different interpretations of it, written by curious Swifties. ;) No, I'm not going to share here which theory I support, but I think if true one day it will be mainstream knowledge, just like that theory about Folklore some people tell y'all two years ago and were ridiculed (and cyberbullied), which theory was basically confirmed by an official account this year and people acted like it's new, but it's not. So no, this picture is not about any theory (though some of them may overlap with it). :)
Those lyrics are great example of visual storytelling, and there is a certain scene with certain vibes, which triggered a memory and reminded me of something that literally happened in a game... at least from my POV it looked more or less like that when I had the choice of which player to save (I chose the danger and I have no regrets). No, I swear, I'm not being dramatic, it was the other player who wrote about falling from the cliff twice and the second time I just couldn't let it happen again! xD
I wanted to include the Albatross to stay as close to the lyrics as possible, because this is a tribute to the song first and foremost. So instead of including the actual characters from that game, I chose another character as a guest character, and I made some redesign, because my own characters were redesigned in previous pictures as well... :) I have our game host's permission to include the character which is not mine, so I hope it's okay. I just wanted to find a way to share a song, cause I think someone would like it.
My favorite part is, of course, the Albatross. I chose Laysan albatross as reference, cause I started with a tail so I needed to keep other parts dark too. I had to digitally recolor the head, though, cause Lego released only three colors, with one of them not being a bird's head at all despite the shape. So don't worry, everything is Lego here. :)
I hope you'll like the picture, cause I'm very excited about how it looks now with all the effects. :D
You can listen to the song here:

Exploring the Isle of Skye was a mixed bag. On the one hand I got to explore and experience nature at its finest. On the other hand I understood just how a location could become a shadow of its past self very easily if steps are not made to stem the flow of tourists, especially during the high season.
From my experience there are other islands in Scotland that are of equal beauty to the Isle of Skye that don't attract the masses which is where I'd go again.
Have you been? What did you think?

Sequel to my last upload: At the right is the unfinished bridge whose construction was stopped in 1986 due to the popular clamor of the locals as it would destroy the view of this national heritage which still stands there for more than 400 years.
“…Lay in bed and realized what I was: I was happy. Said the strange word happiness and realized that it was there, not as an “it” or object. It simply was. And I was that. And this morning, coming down, seeing the multitude of stars above the bare branches of the wood, I was suddenly hit, as it were, with the whole package of meaning of everything: that the immense mercy of God was upon me, that the Lord in infinite kindness had looked down on me and given me this vocation out of love, and that He had always intended this, and how foolish and trivial had been all my fears and desperation…The only response is to go out from yourself with all that one is, which is nothing, and pour out that nothingness in gratitude that God is who He is. All speech is impertinent; it destroys the simplicity of that nothing before God by making it seem as if it had been something.”
--December 9, 1964 V.178 from The Thomas Merton Journals
Everything still, everything silent, As after the rain. We lie here listening to night close down.
Abandoned military vehicle in the UK.
Le pont de Vroenhoven se situe à quelques mètres de la frontières avec les Pays-Bas. Un musée se trouve sous celui-ci, retraçant son histoire durant la guerre, mais également des explications sur le Canal Albert, qui passe dessous.
Le premier pont à cet endroit était un pont en arc en béton construit lors de la construction du canal Albert en 1935. Il a été détruit en 1944 par l’armée allemande qui battait en retraite. Un pont à travées a temporairement remplacé ce pont jusqu’en 1947, après quoi le pont a été reconstruit dans sa forme originale en 1947.
En 2007, la construction du nouveau pont de Vroenhoven a commencé, juste à côté de l’ancien pont existant. Le 16 janvier 2009, l’ancien pont a été détruit à la dynamite et le nouveau pont a été mis en service en juin 2010. Le remplacement du pont a permis d’élargir le goulot d’étranglement du canal, de sorte que deux navires peuvent désormais passer simultanément. Cet élargissement n’était pas possible auparavant car les piles de l’ancien pont étaient trop proches les unes des autres.
La construction du nouveau pont comprend également un espace pour un musée – le Pont de Vroenhoven, un théâtre en plein air, un mur d’escalade et un café-restaurant.
L’histoire est également dominée par la bataille pour le pont pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ce pont a été capturé intact par les troupes allemandes lors de l’invasion du 10 mai 1940. Une douzaine de soldats belges ont été tués dans le bunker situé près du pont. Un jour plus tard, sept aviateurs belges sont tués lors de leurs attaques sur les ponts de Vroenhoven et de Veldwezelt, abattus par les canons antiaériens allemands.
The Vroenhoven Bridge is located a few meters from the border with the Netherlands. There is a museum underneath it, which tells the story of its wartime history, but also explains the Albert Canal, which runs underneath.
The first bridge at this location was a concrete arch bridge built during the construction of the Albert Canal in 1935. It was destroyed in 1944 by the retreating German army. A span bridge temporarily replaced this bridge until 1947, after which the bridge was rebuilt in its original form in 1947.
In 2007, construction began on the new Vroenhoven Bridge, right next to the existing old bridge. On 16 January 2009, the old bridge was blown up with dynamite and the new bridge was put into service in June 2010. The replacement of the bridge widened the bottleneck of the canal, so that two ships can now pass simultaneously. This widening was not previously possible because the piers of the old bridge were too close to each other.
The construction of the new bridge also includes space for a museum – the Vroenhoven Bridge, an open-air theatre, a climbing wall and a café-restaurant.
The history is also dominated by the battle for the bridge during the Second World War. This bridge was captured intact by German troops during the invasion of 10 May 1940. A dozen Belgian soldiers were killed in the bunker near the bridge. A day later, seven Belgian airmen were killed during their attacks on the bridges of Vroenhoven and Veldwezelt, shot down by German anti-aircraft guns.
