The journey into homelessness is rarely a singular event, but rather a complex accumulation of personal and systemic fractures. The path likely began with the quiet erosion of stability—perhaps the loss of a long-held career followed by the gradual disintegration of social support. As the fabric of his everyday life unravelled, economic pressures and perhaps health struggles may have removed a safety net to cushion the descent. A story of resilience in the face of immense adversity, illustrating how a person can become unmoored from society's structures, forced to navigate a stark, solitary existence while remaining an often invisible observer of the world.

Each of us is interconnected in the web of existence, and we are deeply affected by each other’s suffering. If Christ’s suffering brings a Christian to see the cross in everyone’s suffering, then the Christian will do all he or she can to help relieve that suffering. It’s then that the gospel has done its job. If Israel’s suffering brings a Jew to see his or her suffering in the suffering of everyone else, it’s then that the Torah has done its job. Without taking action to relieve suffering there can be no Jew; there can be no Christian.

The former existence of a rich monastery, the only Cistercian monastery in a wide area, the still standing early Gothic chapel, valuable in terms of building history, remains of the outer and inner monastery walls, the foundations of the monastery and the church from 1180 ff (partially visible here in the meadow) and the baroque building by Peter Thumb from 1726, but also the knowledge of the history, the meaning and the essence of the monastery are the really special things. They make up the cultural and historical memorial and the special flair of the valley.
It is a fundamental flaw of the entire road construction project that all of this has been not taken into account in the planning and documents was ignored and not included in any consideration.
Status until now:
The old chapel ("Hospitalkapelle" and "Leutkirche") - remains of the cistercian abbey Tennenbach, founded 1158, secularized 1806, subsequently abrupted.
Now threatened by road plans of the county council:
strong widening, guard rails etc. in the:
- landscape protection area
- water protection area
- conservation area
- biotope protection area.
So remote that I can't remember exactly where this is! I think that it is probably in Lunedale on the B6276 between Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale, but I could easily be wrong!
It was certainly wild countryside even on a relatively nice day of sunshine and showers. It must be so bleak in the depths of winter.
In spite of having totally different exterior coatings. One is freshly painted and the other beautifully striped.

2019 Beautiful praise and worship music | Gospel Video Songs | "The Life of Man Cannot Be Without God's Sovereignty"
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.
Everything God does for man’s survival
and their multiplication is of importance.
Every single thing He does among all things,
it is so integral to man’s existence.
No matter your race or in what land you live,
in the East or in the West, you cannot part
from the environments for survival
for all mankind established by God.
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.
You cannot ever separate yourself
from God’s nurturing or His provisions
God keeps giving you through the environments
He’s established for all mankind’s survival.
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.
No matter your livelihood, what you rely on to live,
no matter how your life in the flesh is sustained,
you can’t separate yourself from God’s rule,
you cannot separate from God’s management.
Not a thing, not a man can be without
the rule, the sovereignty of God.
Man’s life or life in flesh would be no more
without God’s rule and provisions.
This is the import of God’s establishment
of environments for man’s survival.

One of the most colourful songbirds in existence, the painted bunting is nevertheless shy and retiring. (Or perhaps it has to be!)
It breeds mainly in the eastern United States, overwintering as far south as Costa Rica. It has been assigned to the cardinal family rather than the true buntings.

1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K Wins Best in Show at Greenwich Concours
By Jeff Peek / Hagerty.com
Michael and Joannie Rich were looking for just the right car, and in the end, the right car found them. It proved to be a match made in concours heaven. The Pennsylvania couple’s one-off 1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K was chosen Best in Show at Sunday’s 25th Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, which returned to Roger Sherman Baldwin Park after a two-year hiatus.
“It came to us sort of by chance,” Michael says. “I was approached by somebody in the car world who said they had a neat car that I might be interested in. What really interested me was its Fleetwood body. Obviously, there are many coach builders, but it was from a place that’s only a half-hour down the road from us … a place I’d visited. I mean, the factory is still there. There’s a just a tremendous amount of history out of the Fleetwood factory. That’s what really attracted me to it—plus it’s the only one in existence.”
The car’s original owner, William Sloan of Rochester, New York, saw legendary Hollywood actor Rudolph Valentino’s Fleetwood-bodied Isotta Fraschini Roadster at the 1926 New York Auto Salon and fell in love with it. Except he wanted it on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. The car had been repainted in the decades that followed—Michael described it as “a pretty car with an ugly paint job”—and the Riches wanted to restore it back to how it looked when it rolled out of the Fleetwood factory. They entrusted the job to Steve Babinsky and Automotive Restorations in Lebabon, New Jersey.
“It was fun doing the restoration because we could visit it from time to time. I remember when it was down to a frame,” Joannie says. “We discussed the colors, and when we finally found the original color, we looked at each and said, ‘It’s interesting … not one I would pick.’ We sort of toyed back and forth about what we were going to do, and we decided if we were going to do it, we’d do it as it was.”
That proved to be a great decision. The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance is only its fourth public showing.
“The car world has a belief system, and the belief system is that certain cars are just super important, deserving of celebration and recognition,” says McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, which owns the event. “The Mercedes-Benz Model K selected as best in show represents that greatness—one that the judges recognized following significant deliberation.”
The short-wheelbase (130 inches) Model K is powered by a 6.2-liter, switchable supercharged (kompressor) six-cylinder engine. From the right side of the bonnet/hood emerged three metal exhaust pipes merging at the lower edge to a single exhaust. This detail later became a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz supercharged cars.
“It’s a special car,” Joannie says. “I get so much enjoyment out of watching people’s reaction to it. They have so many questions. It’s been a lot of fun.”
Michael thanked his father “for getting me into this mess.”
“It’s a hobby,” Joannie jokingly corrected him.
“A mess, a hobby, organized chaos … I just wish he was here to see this.”
Something tells us he would be smiling.
While the fires and their resulting smoke appear under control, welcome clouds take their place in the skies above Lake Shuswap. Painterly reflections take on an art like complexion, while the sky expands to take in a breath of fresh air.
As the reflections come and go with each movement in the water, only one of my many attempts captures their fleeting existence.
