One of not too many shots I've managed of these fascinating wee creatures I've managed this year. Migrant Hawker resting briefly - Watermead Park.
Thanks for looking :)
Burnley, Mechanics Theatre. Originally detached from the Town Hall, there was a narrow road running between the two buildings - this survives in the cellars, with the original cobbles, Town Hall to the left, Mechanics to the right. Opened as the Mechanics Institute in 1855, and designed by James Green. It was enlarged in 1888 to the design of William Waddington, from the start the Institute played an important role in the social and cultural life of the town. It was acquired by the council in 1959, and sub-let to a number of concerns but fell into decline, until after closure the roof fell in. Eventually, the building was restored and reopened as an arts centre in 1979. It was renovated during the Covid lockdown and now seats 495 in a single raked tier. Windows along one wall have been sealed off, and a former small balcony is now mainly used as a technical room. It is a grade 2* listed building.

The planes and pilots may be front of house but it's the unsung heroes, the mechanics like these ladies whose tireless enthusiasm and time that keep the aircraft airworthy who deserve a very special mention.

A Crazy Crusty paraphrase:
“I, THOTH, the Atlantean, master of mysteries,
keeper of records, mighty king, magician,
living from generation to generation,
being about to pass into the halls of Amenti,
set down for the guidance of
those that are to come after,
these records of the mighty wisdom of Great Atlantis.”
“Aye, age old in this warfare,
the eternal struggle between darkness and light.
Fiercely is it fought all through the ages,
using strange powers hidden to man.”
Those who were once Children of Light (now fallen angels),
mated with the daughters of the sons of men.
From these came the hybrids called Nephilim.
“And the earth was corrupted before God,
and the earth was filled with violence.
And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt,
for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.”
“And the waters prevailed overwhelmingly upon the earth,
and they covered all the high mountains
which were under the entire heaven.”
And so the islands of Atlantis sunk, and a rainbow appeared.
Then came an antichrist, a tyrant called Nimrod.
“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such
an affront and contempt of God.”
Let’s rebuild Great Atlantis in the plains of Great Babylon.
Let’s build a great temple at the top of the pyramid tower.
Then we will be the capstone of the pyramid,
and we will sit as gods.
Yet God caused them to babel,
and so the Tower was called Babel.
They wanted to take revenge for the flood,
yet their vengeance failed.
For God is higher than them, much higher;
for He is the all-seeing God.
Then came the Antichrist, a tyrant called the Beast.
“Called HE then on the powers the Seven Lords wielded;
changed the Earth’s balance.”
“Divided the Kingdoms, HE into sections.
Ten were they, ruled by children of men.”
The Beast with 7 heads and ten horns came out of the sea
to rebuild his lost kingdom of Atlantis.
Horlet, the spiritual harlot,
came riding on the Beast—Mystery Babylon.
“Follow the pathway. Solve thou my secrets.
Unto thee I have shown the way.”
Transhumanism (666): “As I to thee am a God by my knowledge,
so ye, too shall be Gods of the future
because of your knowledge far above theirs.”
You’ll be the bringers of light to the sons of men,
because you’ll have oneness with the Beast.
You’ll be one with the Master, dissolved into the light of the AI.
Transhumanism (666): spiritual technology,
the dawning of a New Age.
Transhumanism (666): “Now ye assemble, my children,
waiting to hear the Secret of Secrets
which shall give ye power to unfold the God-man,
give ye the way to Eternal life.”
“Deep ‘neath the image lies my secret.”
Therefore, bow down and worship the Image of the Beast.
“Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!”
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse
and the One seated on it was called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True,’
and with justice He judges and makes war.”
“And the Beast was seized, and with him the False Prophet
who performed the signs in his presence,
by which he deceived those who had
received the Mark of the Beast
and those who worshiped his Image;
these two were thrown alive into the
Lake of Fire which burns with brimstone.”
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven,
having the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
He laid hold of the Dragon, that Serpent of old,
who is the Devil and Satan,
and bound him for a thousand years,
and he cast him into the abyss,
and shut him up, and set a seal on him,
so that he should deceive the nations no more
till the thousand years were finished.
But after these things he must be released for a little while.”
Indeed, the Dragon failed yet again.
For Jesus Christ is higher than him, much higher.
“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
Therefore, Jesus reigned on earth for a thousand years.
His servants (the righteous)
were permitted to enter His millennial reign.
Those who were not His servants (the unrighteous)
were thrown into hell.
After the thousand years were up,
Satan was released from his prison.
Satan then went out and deceived the nations.
His goal was to rebuild Atlantis.
“They went up on the breadth of the earth
and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city.
And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.”
“The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.”
For God is higher than them, much higher; for He created all things.
It’s Atlantis all over again!
Bye-bye Atlantis. Bye-bye Emerald Tablets.
Bye-bye halls of Amenti. Bye-bye Thoth.
You’ll never be at the top of the pyramid.
Instead, you’ll be forgotten in eternity.
“How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down
to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.”
“And the Devil who had deceived them was thrown
into the Lake of Fire and brimstone, into which the Beast
and the False Prophet had already been thrown.
There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”
“Then death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.
This is the second death.
And anyone whose name was not found
recorded in the Book of Life
was thrown into the Lake of Fire.”
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.’”
“Nothing impure will ever enter it,
nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful,
but only those whose names are written
in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”
“But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable,
as for murderers, the sexually immoral,
sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars,
their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death.”
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock;
if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and will fellowship with him, and he with Me.”
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
