This castle has it’s rumours. There are the stories about the man in the jeep and his accomplice on the scooter watching over this castle.
The castle was built in 1860 by an marquis who lived in the town and it still is in Royal’s hands. Apparently, the owners cannot agree about a plan to preserve the heritage and therefore the place is left abandoned without having anybody to care for it.

In the Ars Electronica Center's Machine Learning Studio visitors can use computer vision and machine learning applications to discover how machines learn and perceive their environment. Working with tech trainers, they can build and train self-driving model cars here, program robots with facial recognition, and gain insights into how they can teach these devices a wide variety of activities. Step-by-step, they can experience not only how these technologies function, but also that everything the machines know is determined by us.

Today, the We're Here! gang is visiting the Learning group.
I was hoping to enrol in a second-year university Spanish course in September, but ran out of time to jump through the appropriate hoops. So I've enrolled in two more photography courses (Photojournalism and Composition) in the certificate program I'm slowly working through. Then today, I enrolled in an intermediate Spanish reading and writing online course. As well, I host a Monday night practice group and attend a Spanish literature discussion group on Saturday mornings. On and on Wednesdays, I do an hour chat by Skype with my tutor in Guanajuato, Mexico.
It's all about the lifelong learning, man!
For the learning challenge. Used water coloring pencils (as taught by Hero Artist Lisa). I also stamping on acetate with Staz-on (as shown by Jennifer McGuire during week one of the blog). Also included stitching and used Versamark, two things I hadn't ever done before the Hero Arts blog. Thanks to Hero Arts and the wonderful artists for all the inspiration you provide on a daily basis.
VERY loosely based on this card: www.flickr.com/photos/25252212@N04/2380939904/ I used the same colors, Thinking of You stamp, buttons, and acetate. Other than that I completely changed things around.

I feel like I've been learning a lot of lessons lately, and this is very much one of them.
Just over 7 weeks ago, Caryn died. Caryn was my mum's best friend and was as good as a second mother to me. She was 46, had no prior life-threatening health complaints and left behind a husband (Rob, one of my dad's best friends) and two beautiful teenage daughters (one of whom is one of my sister's best friends). She died suddenly and completely unexpectedly of a massive brain haemorrhage. If my mum had died I know that Caryn would have stepped up into that role in her place. I'm really struggling to work out how I feel about the whole thing, and coming back to university after Easter has allowed me to carry on running away from dealing with my grief and I think when I go back home in June and have 3 months of being back without Caryn being there the reality of the situation is going to hit me like a sledgehammer in the face. I went to visit Rob the day before I came back to uni (around a month after she died) and just being in their house without her there was really tough but I needed it because otherwise I would have just carried on running and the month of mixed emotions I'd been storing up wouldn't have had a chance to come out when I broke down in tears before I went to bed that night.
Rubbish things happen. I think that's a given, really. But whatever happens, God is good and I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, believe that. God's goodness is not affected or lessened by Caryn's death and in life she was a blessing beyond words to myself, the entire community at my home church and to others beyond that community.
I am frequently blown away reading the book of Job in the Old Testament. Job's life was pretty kushti - in Job 1:1-3 we read that: "There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east."
Over the course of the first chapter of Job, Job loses everything - his servants are all killed, his animals are all raided or burned up and all his children are killed when the oldest brother's house collapses on them. Job's response?
"Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshipped. And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong." (Job 1:20-22)
The other night I was talking to a friend who has got a load of stuff going on back home and we were talking about God's goodness. At one point, my friend (we'll refer to my friend as 'Mark') turned to me and just simply said "Why does God let bad things happen?" If you know me then you know that I always have an answer for everything, but at this point there was just nothing I could say. One of Mark's younger siblings has a really serious eating disorder and it's placing an awful amount of strain on his family and Mark himself. So there we sat at around 3 in the morning, Mark struggling to work out how a good God could allow such suffering and me trying not to cry thinking about Caryn. Mark told me later that week that at church God had revealed to him that actually, the trouble he was having accepting God's goodness came out of the fact that he knew that God was good but was worried about what would happen if he leant completely upon that goodness and then that goodness failed. Life lesson number one: God never fails.
At church this weekend past we were having a time of worship, prayer and prophecy and at one point this guy came up and shared something that struck me deep in my heart. He reminded us that God is always doing a good thing. Bad stuff happens and bad stuff happens that we don't understand, but God is always doing a good thing. When I look at Caryn's death I have such difficulty trying to reconcile these ideas because I don't understand and I fail to see how any good could come out of this in any way whatsoever, but we know from just skimming through the Bible that even though awful stuff happens all the time God is ALWAYS doing a good thing. Always. Caryn's funeral was one of the most Spirit-filled services I have ever been to at my home church and the turnout was such that a load of people found themselves having to stand at the back. We sang rousing hymns to God and the Holy Spirit was in that place in such a powerful way as we sang. I had the utmost, immeasurable pleasure of being able to worship wholeheartedly alongside Rob as we lifted up songs declaring the absolute goodness of God.
I guess the ultimate demonstration and proof of God's goodness is the cross. Before the world began, God knew everything that would take place in the years to come and He knew the evil things we would do and how they would fracture our relationship with Him. People seem to have this misconception that God created the world, it all went bottoms up and then He decided He would have to send Jesus to pay the punishment on the cross that we deserved. In actual fact, God created the world and did so knowing that He would have to give of Himself to save us. It may surprise you to know that God doesn't need you - He was perfectly happy co-existing in the Trinity before the creation of the world. God made a tremendous sacrifice so that He could make you and restore what would become a fractured relationship between you and Him. God looked at you before He made you and decided that you would be worth it.
"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:9-10)
Grief is really really painful, I can tell you that first hand. It can take a really long time to work through and there's no quick fix. However, I can also tell you that we have a hope, that God doesn't leave us to deal with our grief on our own, that He walks by our side every step of the way and He is always doing a good thing. God is good, period. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

“I am learning to see.
I don’t know why it is,
but everything enters me more deeply
and doesn’t stop where it once used to.
I have an interior that I never knew of.
Everything passes into it now.
I don’t know what happens there.”
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
