The Church of Saint John Nepomuk in Park Szczytnicki.
The little Church of Saint John Nepomuk is located in the vicinity of ul Mikołaja Kopernika and Aleja Dąbska in Park Szczytnicki.
Together with the Japanese Garden, the church is considered a highlight of the historic park.
The site has been included in the Register of Objects of Cultural Heritage. Its timber structure, which dates back to the 16th century,
and was made by carpenters from Stare Koźle in Upper Silesia.
This is where the church was initially located. Later on it was relocated to Kędzierzyn, and in 1913 to Wroclaw.
The church was on display as part of the Centenary Exhibition (which also focused on the history of Silesia)
The John Oliver Cabin was constructed in the early 1820’s by John Oliver and his wife Lucretia. The Oliver's were the first permanent white settlers of Cades Cove, which is now part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Thanks for viewing.
St. John’s Wort, scientifically known as Hypericum perforatum, is a perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the Hypericaceae family. It is native to Europe, but can now be found in many parts of the world, including North America, Asia, and Africa. St. John’s Wort is a popular medicinal plant that has been used for centuries to treat various ailments.
I am raiding the 2014 archives for this week's Fence Friday shot. The John Oliver Cabin was built in the early 1820’s by John Oliver and his wife, Lurena. It is one of multiple historic structures that are part of the Cade's Cove loop drive, located in the Tennessee portion of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

We left early to drive down to Hobart (where I took the photos of the racing yachts). The forecast was promising and as we made our way down the highway the mist was just lifting from the mountains in the distance.
In the background is the southern end of Ben Lomond, and in the foreground the vast expanse of plains across the Northern Midlands of Tasmania. There are few trees today, but once (when Aboriginal people lived here) it was a dense forest. In fact we are not far from the hamlet named in the early colonial years as Epping Forest. Almost completely devoid of trees now - sheep grazing land.
Those trees do remind me of John Glover (1767-1849) though. Glover painted a scene not far from this location and looking in the other direction towards the Great Western Tiers range. And there were still plenty of trees then. I'll put a link to his painting below.
Si buscas tranquilidad.
Si deseas un buen día.
Si bien quieres pasear.
No te pierdas, ni te vayas
allá donde se pierde el alma.
Ven a estos tranquilos campos
y acércate a un palomar
para sentir que la vida
se halla dentro,
donde tú pones el nido
y nada ya hay que buscar.
La soledad no te pierde,
ni te extravía el silencio.
Te abandona la alegría
si no sabes encontrarte,
si no entiendes que el silencio
es el carril de la vida.
Busca allí los colores
y vive alegre la vida.

Here's a shot taken yesterday. The subject is the village church of St Johns, Wentbridge. Despite its appearance the church is a new addition to the village having been built as recently as 1874. It has however, replaced other older churches that went back as far as 1030 AD.

John the Baptist (c. 1st century BC – c. AD 30) was a Judaean preacher active in the area of the Jordan River in the early 1st century AD. He is also known as John the Forerunner in Eastern Orthodoxy, John the Immerser in some Baptist Christian traditions, and Prophet Yahya in Islam. He is sometimes alternatively referred to as John the Baptiser.
Іоанн Хреститель (бл. 1 століття до н. е. – бл. 30 р. н. е.) був іудейським проповідником, який діяв у районі річки Йордан на початку 1 століття нашої ери. Він також відомий як Іоанн Предтеча у східному православ'ї, Іоанн Занурений у деяких баптистських християнських традиціях, і Пророк Яхья в ісламі. Його іноді альтернативно називають Іоанном Хрестителем.
Іоанн Хреститель згадується у всіх чотирьох канонічних Євангеліях та неканонічному Євангелії від Назарянина. Синоптичні Євангелія (Марка, Матвія та Луки) описують Іоанна, який хрестив Ісуса; в Євангелії від Іоанна про це говорять багато хто.
Храм на честь Зачаття Іоанна Хрестителя.
Найменування храму продовжує традицію від кінця 18 ст., за якою церква приміського села Біличі називалася на честь Пророка Іоанна, Предтечі і Хрестителя Господня. Попередній сільський храм був знищений владою у 1960-і рр.
У 2006 р. було розпочато зведення великого цегляного храму Зачаття Іоанна Предтечі у візантійському стилі.
Remember that photo where the Jeeps were blocked on a dirt road by big boulders? That's the road down there. This was taken from Muley Point, high above the Grand Canyon-like erosion platau the San Juan River.

... is a 12-mile (19 km) long glacier, about 1 mile wide, 250 feet high at the terminus, and 200 feet deep at the water line. It begins on the east slopes of Lituya Mountain and Mount Salisbury, and trends east to the head of Johns Hopkins Inlet, 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of the terminus of Clark Glacier and 79 miles (127 km) northwest of Hoonah. It was named after Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland in 1893 by Harry Fielding Reid. It is one of the few advancing tidewater glaciers of the Fairweather Range !
