SN/NC: Delphinium elatum, Ranunculaceae Family
It is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, known by the common name alpine delphinium or candle larkspur. It is native to temperate Asia and Europe, it is an erect herbaceous perennial growing to 1.8 m (5.9 ft), with deeply divided leaves. It produces spikes of blue or purple flowers in summer. It is hardy down to −20 °C (−4 °F), but requires a sheltered position in full sun, and deep, rich soil. All plants must be securely staked to avoid the flower heads collapsing. Gloves should be worn when handling the plant, as it can cause severe discomfort if accidentally ingested. Delphinium elatum was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work Species Plantarum.
Delphinium elatum is a source of many ornamental cultivars in a range of colours from blue and purple to pink, cream, and white.

he Monastery of Kremasta or Kremasti is located 14km north of Agios Nikolaos town, on the road to the village of Vrysses and the Lasithi Plateau.
This beautifully situated monastery on the slope of Kavalaras hill overlooks the town of Neapolis which is only 3km away.
It is built at an altitude of 397 m. and gives the impression that it is hanging, hence its name Kremasta which means “hanging” in Greek.
The monastery is dedicated to Archangels Michael and Gabriel and celebrates on 8 November.
An inscription which bears the date 1593, probably suggests the founding of the monastery by the monk Mitrophanes Agapitos.
The church was built later, in 1622 by Nikiforos Anifant.
It is single-naved, with a pointed barrel-vaulted arch.
The remarkable wooden altar-screen of the catholicon dates back around 1866 and was work of the woodcarver John Makrakis.
In 1821, Petros Dorotheos founded the school of the monastery, which played a very important role in the education of locals during the years of the Ottoman rule.
In 1866 the Turks destroy the monastery.
The monks manage to escape and hide the sacred relics and books in a nearby cave, but they were unfortunatly damaged by moisture.
It was occupied by the Turkish administrator of the Lassithi Prefecture, Kostis Adosidis Pasha in 1868 while Neapolis was being built in which years, the monastery reached its great prosperity.
It was renovated in 1922 by bishop Nektarios.
Most of the buildings of the monastery have now been restored, and it is an active nunnery in which an icon-painting workshop operates.
Another church dedicated to the myrrh bearers has just been completed outside the fortification of the original monastery.
Er was gemeld dat de Brohltalbahn alutrein onderweg was, echter duurde het langer dan verwacht. In het allerlaatste licht kwam de trein toch nog opdagen.

I couldn't decide which I preferred so I posted both. One from each camera! Also the first time I take a photo of a candle.
This weekend, we visited the 12th century abbey of Rolduc In the very south of The Netherlands. The crypt of the church contains a stone coffin with the remains of the founder of Rolduc, the priest and saint Ailbertus of Antoing.
By an unfortunate accident, I stumbled against the coffin, which caused the lid to move a tiny bit. It was enough to wake up the ghost of the old saint. When we fled from the crypt, I managed to take this one shot.

As we entered the church, a rare and sacred event was taking place: the ordination of a new priest, a ceremony that has been the soul of Georgian Orthodox tradition for centuries. Inside Gergeti Trinity Church, the atmosphere was solemn. The smell of incense filled the icon-adorned space, and the flickering candlelight cast long shadows across the ancient frescoes. The bishop, dressed in a glittering golden robe, stood before the altar, surrounded by a circle of priestly candidates and deacons. The church slowly filled with the faithful, who silently took their places, their heads bowed in reverence. The ceremony began with a series of ancient chants, which filled the cold stone walls with a warm, heavenly sound. The bishop anointed the young monk’s forehead and hands with holy oil as he recited the age-old prayers that would make him a priest. With each blessing, he felt the burden of his new calling lift upon his shoulders, but also a deep, unshakable peace fill his heart. When the last blessing was pronounced, the new priest raised his head. His eyes shone with humility and determination. The bishop handed him the chalice and paten, symbols of his new ministry, and the crowd responded with a solemn Amen. After the service, the faithful streamed outside, where the sun was now shining brightly and the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus stood out brightly against a steel-blue sky. The air was fresh and pure, as if the entire mountain had been blessed by the holy event.
The church leaders wear magnificent liturgical vestments and richly decorated miters. The bishop (on the right, dressed in white and red vestments) holds a three-branched and a two-branched candle, symbolizing the Holy Trinity and the two natures of Christ. The atmosphere in the church is intimate and spiritual, with burning candles, religious icons, and crosses in the background. The young boy and the other clergy participate in the ceremony with full attention and reverence. I was not supposed to take pictures here. But as a photographer, that is difficult at such a special event. The solemnity, the chants, and the age-old rituals begged to be captured without disturbing the sanctity of the moment. Unfortunately, I was no longer allowed to use my camera, so I switched to my phone instead. Outside, the people waited, ready to welcome their new priest with bread, wine and the timeless hospitality of the Georgian people. That day, a new priest was ordained high in the mountains, a moment of silence and reflection under the impressive shadow of Mount Kazbek.
Toen we de kerk binnenkwamen, vond hier een zeldzame en heilige gebeurtenis plaats: de wijding van een nieuwe priester, een ceremonie die al eeuwenlang de ziel van de Georgisch-Orthodoxe traditie vormde. Binnen in de Gergeti Trinity Church hing een plechtige sfeer. De geur van wierook vulde de met iconen versierde ruimte, en het flakkerende kaarslicht wierp lange schaduwen over de oude fresco’s. De bisschop rechts, gekleed in witte en rode gewaden houdt een driearmige en een tweearmige kaars vast, die de Heilige Drie-eenheid en de twee naturen van Christus symboliseren. De sfeer in de kerk is intiem en spiritueel, met brandende kaarsen, religieuze iconen en kruizen op de achtergrond. De jonge jongen en de andere geestelijken nemen met volle aandacht en eerbied deel aan de ceremonie. Eigenlijk mocht ik hier geen foto's maken. Maar als fotograaf is dat toch wel moeilijk bij zo'n bijzondere gebeurtenis. De plechtigheid, de gezangen en de eeuwenoude rituelen vroegen erom vastgelegd te worden, zonder de heiligheid van het moment te verstoren. Helaas mocht ik mijn camera niet meer gebruiken, dus ik schakelde over op mijn telefoon. De ceremonie begon met een reeks oude gezangen, die de koude stenen muren vulden met een warme, hemelse klank. De bisschop zalfde het voorhoofd en de handen van de jonge monnik met heilige olie, terwijl hij de eeuwenoude gebeden uitsprak die hem tot priester zouden maken. Met elke zegen voelde hij hoe de last van zijn nieuwe roeping op zijn schouders daalde, maar ook hoe een diepe, onwrikbare vrede zijn hart vulde. Toen de laatste zegen was uitgesproken, hief de nieuwe priester zijn hoofd op. Zijn ogen schitterden van nederigheid en vastberadenheid. De bisschop overhandigde hem de kelk en de paten, symbolen van zijn nieuwe dienstwerk, en de menigte antwoordde met een plechtig Amen. Na de dienst stroomden de gelovigen naar buiten, waar de zon inmiddels fel scheen en de besneeuwde pieken van de Kaukasus helder afstaken tegen een staalblauwe hemel. De lucht was fris en zuiver, alsof de hele berg was gezegend door de heilige gebeurtenis.
De koningskaars (Verbascum thapsus) is een plant uit de helmkruidfamilie (Scrophulariaceae). De plant groeit in het duin- en krijtgebied en is daar vrij algemeen. In andere delen van Nederland is de soort zeldzaam.
Jouw foto
Ik heb jouw foto ingelijst
Om het gemis lichter te maken
Met mijn ogen dicht
Probeer ik je aan te raken
Plots tranen op mijn kast
Omdat mijn hand altijd in het duister tast
Ik heb jouw foto ingelijst
Met een kaars aan jouw zijde
En al troost ik zo mezelf
Jouw gemis is en blijft niet te vermijden
I may just be a little candle In your life.
I may burn out and melt after a little while. But I wish within that time,
My light touches your heart...
Even for a while...

Happy Sunday!
The Grundtvig memorial church (Peter Vilhelm Jensen Klint & Kaare Klint, 1921-40) stands in the Copenhagen suburb of Bispebjerg, and is a celebration of both the Expressionist and National Romantic styles of architecture. Here, in the south aisle, we get a taste of the exquisitely smooth brickwork from which the entire church is crafted. I remember being absolutely thrilled at getting the chance to visit Copenhagen, and thus this building, which is probably one of the most admired non-Modernist 20th century churches in Europe. Photograph taken Monday 27th August 2000.

Our Candle Lights
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Our candle lights are burning
In its ever glowing out
Thru day and dims learning
What brightness is about
A gentle feeling to tender
Within the heart's deep
And to its love surrender
For days and years to keep
This light's like a morning
That passes here thru
Without any forward warning
It just is all true
In its on flickers yearning
That gives its renew
Our candlelight that’s burning
In its hour and venue
Our moments are always going
In the steady time on
Like light of candles glowing
Till all of it is gone
A day and night is lighter
With its turning flame
And futures tomorrow brighter
It never stays the same
