In 1942, during World War II, the cathedral was where a last stand was made by SOE-trained Czech and Slovak agents involved in the assassination of SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich. SS and Police Leader of Waffen-SS Karl Fischer von Treuenfeld commanded the Nazi forces that stormed the church on 18 June 1942. After a fierce gun battle, two of the Czechoslovaks were killed and the rest committed suicide to avoid capture.
There is a museum in the church crypt, where the Resistance were hidden, dedicated to them as national heroes.
I've always thought this arch at the bottom of Antelope Canyon was the most mind-boggling feature there.

Still, trying to figure out how tumbling boulders in flash floods could have carved this is beyond me.
Every time I've seen this, the light is different. This time it was quite subdued with more gray than orange.
A macro of the interior of a yellow Hibiscus (Hibiscus -- (!)) flower. The camera decided to focus on the anthers, and you can see some individual pollen grains. The five-part stigma, colored orange, is clearly visible, although a little out of focus.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
Really busy at the moment don’t have even time to test out new lens but I hope July will bring some starry nights:)
Itinerario narrante

dietro la porta
Il sentimento dell’abitare.
l'iperreale che sfocia nel surreale
senza effetti voluti, ma solo di energia propria
