Santa Maria de Ribera de Cardós és una església parroquial romànica de la vila de Ribera de Cardós, pertanyent al terme municipal de Vall de Cardós, a la comarca del Pallars Sobirà. Està situada en un pla a la dreta de la Noguera de Cardós, a llevant de la vila de Ribera de Cardós, un xic separada del nucli de població. És una obra protegida com a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local.
Santa Maria de Ribera de Cardós es troba als afores del nucli urbà, davant d'una gran plaça centrada per una creu moderna, precedint el cementiri que s'estén darrere la capçalera. Possiblement en origen era de tres naus rematades a l'est per tres absis semicirculars dels quals actualment només en resta el lateral nord, decorat a l'exterior per arcuacions cegues que descansen sobre petites mènsules i il·luminat per una finestra de doble esqueixada. L'antic absis central fou substituït al segle xviii per una capçalera irregular. Actualment l'església presenta una nau flanquejada per capelles cobertes amb volta d'aresta. La portada romànica d'arc de mig punt es troba als peus de la nau, a la façana de ponent. Consta de tres arcs en degradació el més extern marcat per una sanefa de dents de serra. Al capdamunt trobem tres arcs cecs sota un fris d'escacats i una mica més amunt hi ha un rosetó envoltat pels mateixos elements decoratius. Aquesta portada fou descoberta no fa massa anys sota una gruixuda capa d'arrebossat. En el mur de la façana es veuen traces de murs perpendiculars que possiblement devien formar un atri. Al costat septentrional de l'església s'aixeca un magnífic campanar romànic de quatre pisos. A l'exterior els pisos són separats per arcuacions cegues i petits frisos dentats i escacats, i al pis superior per un de més ample d'entrecreuats. Als dos pisos inferiors s'obren espitlleres, al tercer una finestra de mig punt i al quart una finestra geminada partida per dobles columnes amb capitell, i una petita rosassa al mig dels dos arcs lleugerament apuntats. La construcció és coronada per uns merlets esglaonats que presenten espitlleres.
El 839, l'acta de Consagració de la Seu d'Urgell menciona "Sancta Maria Cardonensis" a favor de la qual tenen documentades deixes comtals en el segle XII. L'actual fàbrica amb forta empremta mudèjar és dels segles XI i XII, objecte de nombroses modificacions en els segles posteriors i especialment en el curs del segle XVII. En el Diccionari Nomenclàtor de pobles i poblats de Catalunya, es diu que fou dels templers.

Dew on a feather.
Feathers should be closely nestled among thousands, each in its correct position on the bird. This one, probably from a pigeon's wing, lies abandoned, and sparkling with dewdrops like moonstones.

Experimenting time! .. I wanted to create something like this for ages, thank you Christine for modelling and Joel for the magnifying glass :)
Placed a magnifying glass in front of this unfolding battle. Took a while to get the focus right but I think it captures enough. Not a 'pretty' image but something like it is probably going on in your house right now!
Shot for ODC The theme is magnify. My magnification comes from the words of Aldous Huxley. "Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting." I am working on ways to enhance the community I spend a great deal of time in. I think I will develop this one for our library as an 8 X 10.

Looking past the WALL to East Berlin: The former PRUSSIAN PARLIAMENT building. Widelux panorama camera, Kodak HIE infrared film, Rodinal developer, Clayton paper developer + Besseler + Agfa MCC paper. The sun on the building was picked up and magnified a lot by the infrared effect.
Maroubra Beach
Maroubra, New South Wales
I am always at awe at the beautiful Sydney coastline, with its white sandy beaches and rugged rocky cliffs. It is little wonder why Sydneysiders would flock to the beach at anytime of the day. When you look out at the vast open turbulent ocean, all of one's troubles or concerns seems to shrink in complexity and size. Some even becoming insignificant. It humbles us.
With that, I strongly encourage everyone to leave their comforts of their armchair and fully embrace the sun, sand and surf at your local beaches! Also, feel free to leave a comment on what does a day at the beach means to you :)

This is my photo for the 52 in 2015 challenge - #40 - text or words. This is one of Peter's old books with his grandmother's magnifying glass.
My brother has been transferred to a hospital closer to his home and we are travelling up to see him tomorrow. He is doing okay, but feeling quite depressed that this has happened once again. We have been told it will be a long road ahead for him.
i know, the magnifying glass thing has been overdone, but atleast i shot this when i was twenty, shortly after the magnifying glass was invented (titters from the back row). and i do love how there's nothing beyond the rim of the glass, but a little hair. and i can also tell you the eye this is magnifying is sitting in front of one of the most unique brains i've ever encountered. so there you have it. more in my "bigger is better" series (as it turns out).

eek! i'm running 2 computers at the moment, trying to get the new one loaded up with all the software I need... it's very confusing with 2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 monitors and a graphics tablet to boot! every time i go to write something on the new pc, i end up using the wrong keyboard and it takes me a sec to remember why nothing is apprearing on my screen!
anyway, i've had this magnifying glass for ages, just waiting for the right challenge to come along!

This is Podgy Bonsi, an unbelievable adorable British Bulldog in the care of my Nephew in the Richmond area of Vancouver in Canada. Saved from a life in a steel cage, kept as a 'trophy' by a wealthy Asian owner, little Podgy was awaiting a new home to be loved and cared for and just wanted to play with us the whole time. He went to a wonderful new home just after I arrived back in the UK.

The planets Neptune and Mars were only 0.02 degrees apart in the sky this afternoon, which is the closest they have been for about 700 years! I thought this deserved a photo, so I went to the local park and was able to capture firstly a wide-angle view that included the crescent Moon and Venus in addition to the close pairing of Mars and Neptune; and then more magnified views of the Mars-Neptune pair and (at an identical magnification) the Moon. The red colour of Mars and the blue colour of Neptune are clearly seen in the magnified view.
A very small moth - highly magnified - appears to be covered in miniscule feathers. It has a huge black eye !
Got lots of raindrop shots yesterday.
The most colourful plant we have in the jungle, for Psychedelic Saturday.
I found a magnifying glass in the office today, so I played around with it a bit. I'm not 100% satisfied with the way this turned out, so I'll have to try it again sometime with a better setup.
Anyway, the book is The Invention of Air by Steven Johnson.
