happened to be walking through the theater district as julia roberts was exiting the building. what a very strange existence. i had fun looking at all the different cameras...
A desert nomad was asked about the existence of God.
He said:
" Camel droppings point to the existence of a camel. Footprints on the sand tell of a traveler. The heavens with its stars, the earth with its mountains and valleys, and the sea with its waves – don't they point to the Maker, all-Powerful, Knowing, Wise and Caring? "
9/52 - Having a voice yet feeling compressed to not use it. This was last weeks 52 and it was a busy weeks! I think this photo is pretty self explanatory!
This old man cooks in the morning for his wife and himself ... by the road side ... not giving up on life ... however tough and unresourceful it is ...
The existence of planned but never built 32nd though 34th streets on some old maps suggest that at some point the numbered street grid was planned to extend far south of its current southern border at 30th street. Furthermore, in Daily city there's a series of east-west streets numbered 87th through 92nd suggesting at some point this grid could have been planned through the SF/Daly City boundary. Extending the linear relationship between street number and latitude shows that this hypothesis could be true, although the different slopes show that at some point the block pitch would have changed from every other block (as in SF) to every block (as in Daily City), probably somewhere around 40th street.
Burnin' some more film. Cherry blossoms and concrete in the Stockholm springtime.

Capernaum:
Also known as Tell Hum, Khirbet Karazeh, Bethsaida, Capharnaum, Chorazin, Kefar Nahum, Kafarnaum, Kefar Tanhum, Talhum, Tanhum
In existence from the 2nd c. B.C. to the 7th c. A.D., Capernaum was built along the edge of the Sea of Galilee and had up to 1500 residents.
Today the ruins are owned by two churches: the Franciscans control the western portion with the synagogue and the Greek Orthodox’s property is marked by the white church with red domes.
Jesus made Capernaum his home during the years of his ministry: “Leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum” (Matt 4:13).
Peter, Andrew, James and John were fishermen living in the village. Matthew the tax collector also dwelt here.
Capernaum is one of the three cities cursed by Jesus for its lack of faith.
The Synagogue
The dating of this synagogue is debated, but it is clearly later than the first century. Excavations have revealed a synagogue from the time of Jesus with walls made of worked stone and 4 feet thick.
These earlier walls were preserved up to 3 feet high and the entire western wall still exists and was used as the foundation for the later synagogue.
Jesus was confronted by a demoniac while teaching here (Mark 1:21-27).
In Capernaum, Jesus healed the servant of the centurion. This Roman official was credited with building the synagogue (Luke 7:3).
In this synagogue, Jesus gave sermon on the bread of life (John 6:35-59).
The House of Peter
Excavations revealed one residence that stood out from the others. This house was the object of early Christian attention with 2nd century graffiti and a 4th century house church built above it. In the 5th century a large octagonal Byzantine church was erected above this, complete with a baptistery. Pilgrims referred to this as the house of the ap
ostle Peter.
This image, like many of mine, happened completely by accident! It was taken in front of the Louvre in Paris. I was trying to get a long daytime exposure but forgot to put my ND filter on so it blew out the image and left these faint, blurred outlines of people.
The ghostly outlines of the crowds made me think about all the millions of people that had passed through the square and stood in the same place I was standing but having left no trace of their existence at all. I often think about random things like that when I go places. I think it's what gives me a buzz about history..thinking who had touched this wall thousands of years ago etc.. mmm sad but true!!
Pura Tanah Lot, Bali - Mai 2011
The temple, Pura Tanah Lot, owes its existence to a religious leader from the Javanese kingdom of Majapahit in the late 15th century: Danghyang Niratha, also called Danghyang Dwijendra, and known in Bali as Ida Pedanda Sakti Wawu Rawuh. The temple was originally a sacred site where local people came to worship God as the master of the ocean, seeking safety and success for their work as fishermen. It became better known after Danghyang Niratha came to meditate there. Beraban village was suffering an epidemic at the time, and the holy man’s presence was a blessing for them; with his religious/magical powers, he helped the community recover, and from then on, he provided them with religious guidance, as well as instruction on right livelihood in farming and fishing. From this relationship between the community and the holy man, this place of worship was no longer solely for the people of Beraban village but came to be used by everyone throughout Bali. Since then, Pura Tanah Lot has been considered one of the Sad Khayangan, the six temples of the world.
Another legend about this temple states that the coral rocks were placed in the sea by Danghyang Niratha using his spiritual powers. He then named it "Tengah Lot," meaning land located in the sea. Still according to the same legend, he then transformed the scarf he was wearing into a black-striped sea snake to protect the holy place. All these miracles were meant to demonstrate his sincerity in serving as a religious guide to the community. Whether the legend is true or not, black-and-white striped sea snakes are still found in the coral caves around Tanah Lot.
We had some carpenter bees living here, but I guess a woodpecker removed them - I had seen one trying to get at them from below.
Church of the Holy Trinity Gidleigh Devon
"Ghiderleia" (the clearing of Gydda ), in the 1086 Domesday Survey , it was at that time held by Godwin the Priest from the Count of Mortain which indicates there was a church in existence at that time or before in Saxon times.
It was later from the time of Henry ll held by the Prouz / Prous family and the ruins of a Norman castle which was their seat, still survives near the church. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/6G28Lcw321 This elder branch became extinct in the reign of Edward II when Gidley castle and manor passed with its heiress to the Mules, and from the Mules in like manner to the Damarell family - William Damarell gave this estate to his daughter, the wife of Walter Coade of Morvall in Cornwall, in whose descendants it continued. Of late years it became the property of Bartholomew Gidley www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5Yr55JmA46 on whose death in mid 18c the estate passed into the family of Rattery . The manor and advowson was then purchased under a decree of the court of chancery by the Rev. Thomas Whipham, vicar of King's Teignton.
The church was completely rebuilt at the end of the 15c. At that time the building would have had a thatched roof which according to records was re-thatched in 1753. The church underwent some reconstruction in the 1600s, the roof slated in the late 1700s and apart from that very little has been changed,
It now comprises a nave continuous with the chancel under a late 15c / early 16c ceiled wagon roof of Devon oak. The chancel has moulded ribs and purlins with some plain ,maybe 19c replacement) carved bosses. The south aisle roof is the same as the nave. The side aisle on the south side is separated from the nave by a three-bay arcade, supported by granite columns.
The west two stage tower now missing its pinnacles has a peal of 5 bells with the three oldest dating from c1450. which are rung from the floor of the church. Four were recorded in 1864;
Bell 1 – “lebs ois plaudit ut me tam sepius audit,” (The people rejoice the more they hear me).
Bell 2 – “Alexander Vagwell Church Warden T & P Exon 1674
Bell 3 – “Ste toma ora pro nobis,” (St. Thomas pray for us).
Bell 4 – “Est michi collatum ihc istud nomen amatum,” (To me is given Jesus that beloved name).
The 5th "Peace" bell was placed in the 1920s as a thanksgiving after the war.
Sadly by the 1970s the bell frame had become seriously unsafe and to avoid a collapse bell ringing stopped and the bells went silent for the next 20 years. Thanks to a concerted local fund raising effort which was boosted by a grant from the Millennium Commission the bell frame and its bells were restored in 1998. At the same time the tower was cleaned and the early plaster and bitumen lining removed the result of which is now a fine view of the tower’s inside. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/241k0B9KE8 Like many other churches there was some concern as to the strength of the tower and to ensure its stability an iron band was placed around it in the 1800s carried out by a local blacksmith Tom Hill of Throwleigh which is still visible near the top of the tower, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/45s9vtW337
Over the centuries the 15c screen has undergone various changes, it is thought that for some reason it was taken down and rebuilt sometime in the 1500s. During this process a large cross was removed from it in accordance with the demands of the Reformation. In 1853 the main section of the screen was repainted at which time the colour scheme was changed from gold, white, red and green to simply red, gold and blue. At that time the lower panels were embellished with transfers depicting various saints. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/ix72qsz721
The 15c font is topped by a wooden cover made in 1843 by Charles Finch, the parish clerk. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/F3j9X6PmY6
In 1853, John Aggett carved the granite pulpit and lectern and later the reredos in 1868 which was originally installed in Chagford church.
The chancel has recently undergone a scheme of renovation which included the laying of a new floor which made local headlines. During this work a small stone came loose revealing a late medieval crypt inside which were 2 coffins. After lowering a camera through the gap it was realised that one of the coffins was made of what appeared to be lead and of adult size. The other coffin belonged to a child and was made from oak wood. The photographs also revealed that under the chancel screen was an arched doorway and a set of blocked steps which would have led up into the central aisle. At this point it was decided to take the investigation no further and the loose stone was mortared back in-situ. However as work carried on another and much larger hole appeared due to the weight of the workmen and their wheelbarrows. This time the hole was big enough for a person to get through thus allowing access to the crypt when it was discovered that the supposed coffin was in fact made from galvanised metal not lead. Inside this was another coffin made from oak on which was a brass plate which named the occupant as Aurthur (sic) Whipham who lived from 1810 to 1882 who had in 1844 inherited the manor from his father Thomas who had bought it , and also served as rector. It is thought that the child’s coffin belongs to one of his daughters, possibly Carla who died at the age of five months in 1851, (In 1863 the rector, Arthur Whipham, submitted a petition for divorce from his wife on the grounds of her alleged adultery with Philip Rowe, a farmer's son from Berrydown farm, Gidleigh. They were caught in bed together at the rectory by P.C. James Bird of the Devon constabulary).
The pipe organ sits at the back of the south aisle. It was built by Murdoch, Murdoch and Company of London and comprises 5 stops, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/6SL23Pnb44
The wall that now stands around the church was built sometime in the 1800s and was built from the recycled stone from the local Poor House - It was erected at the behest of the Rural Dean who was appalled that some of the villagers hung their washing on the tombstones to dry

From the beginning of the Marquette Railroad's independent existence in 2005, to the year after the sale to Genesee & Wyoming, in 2013 the short line's owners and employees believed in good public relations.
One of the more known about public relations and good will to the communities the railroad traveled in, was the MQT Santa Express. The Santa Express over the years would usually run on either the second or third Saturday of the month of December.
MQT employees would in the days before the train, would take the Santa Express's assigned locomotive cars and caboose, clean them up as best as they could and hung Christmas lights on the locomotive and cars.
Hauling Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and plenty of Elf's the train would start in the midmorning hours at Comstock Park, MI. and follow the route of the railroad north, stopping in places like Casanova, Newaygo, White Cloud, and Baldwin. Leaving Baldwin, the train made a left hand turn and headed for Scottsville, and Ludington.
After the Ludington stop the Santa Express would be turned around to head back east and depart around 16:00. When the train reached Walhalla, another left turn was made and the Santa Express would be in the home stretch with stops in Fountain, Free Soil, Stronach, and finally ending the night at Manistee, MI. around 20:15.
Nearing the end of the days events, the Santa Express has stopped for its scheduled appearance in Fountain at at 17:30. MQT caboose 3155 is parked on Main St. and out of sight to the right, Mr. Claus, and Mrs. Claus, along with the Elves and Marquette employees mingle with the crowd spreading holiday cheer.
The parish came into existence following the decision of the Diocesan Council, in the fall of 1998, following the repeated insistence of the faithful from the Drumul Taberei neighborhood, who were disappointed by the lack of places of worship in this neighborhood.
Thus, at the initiative of the priest Nicolae Burlan, a disassembled wooden church was brought from the Vicovul de Jos commune in Suceava county and reassembled on a plot of land belonging to the Ministry of National Defense located in Brașov Street, no. 21C, sector 6.
Later, interventions were made at the City Hall of the Capital, which ceded a 3000 square meter plot of land for the purpose of building a church and which was given in exchange to the Ministry of National Defense for the equivalent area on which the wooden church is already located.
The wooden church was consecrated by His Holiness Teodosie Snagoveanul, Vicar Bishop of the Archdiocese of Bucharest at that time, on July 26, 1998.
The shrine of the church is Saint Pious Parascheva, (in Greek "paraschevi" means "Friday") whom Orthodox Christianity celebrates on October 14 and whose Holy Relics are in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Iași.
Since the wooden church proved inadequate for the more than 1,000 believers from various neighborhoods who regularly participate in the Holy services, the decision was made to build a brick church, of larger dimensions absolutely necessary for a neighborhood like Drumul Taberei.
The plan of the new church belonging to the architect Florin Bucur Crăciun is in the form of an inscribed Greek cross.
From an architectural point of view, it fits into the style prefigured by the churches "Sfânta Sofia" in Constantinople and "Sfântul Nicolae Domnesc" in Curtea de Argeș.
A large central hemispherical dome dominates the spatial composition of the edifice.
A wide porch with six free and two engaged columns precedes the entrance.
Access to the church is through a portal with an arched frame, made of finely carved stone.
The vault is made up of 25 semi-arches, resting at the ends on two metal caisson rings, with other intermediate rings unfolding between them.
The covering of the altar, similar to the apses of the proscomidiary and the diaconicon, is made by a cone connected to a semi-cylinder.
On the opposite side, on the first floor, there is the cage which is accessed by stairs placed inside, in the northwest and southwest corners of the building, which also lead to the two balconies.
This picture looks so random that I almost started justifying its existence, but I'll keep myself from doing that. Pictures that come with less text are often more interesting...I heard.
One thing that I noticed though, while going through those photographs for the first time was the name of this restaurant. It instantly reminded me of an ex-roommate of mine who used to always call me Oliva. She did this to mimick my pathetic attempts in pronouncing my own name in American English. I think I improved a lot in pronouncing it, but she still calls me Oliva. She does that with such a passion, I fear that she will keep doing that foreva.
Anyway, just a little story on the side in case this photograph doesn't tell you anything.
