Vespers, evening prayer of thanksgiving and praise in Roman Catholic and certain other Christian liturgies. Vespers and lauds (morning prayer) are the oldest and most important of the traditional liturgy of the hours. Many scholars believe vespers is based on Judaic forms of prayer and point to a daily evening celebration observed among Jews in the 1st century BCE.By the 3rd century CE the writings of Tertullian show clear evidence of an evening prayer. During the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries, cathedral choirs and monastic orders developed the vespers service, as it was known for centuries thereafter. Following the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), the Roman Catholic service was translated into the vernacular and simplified, but it continues to revolve around the Magnificat canticle, various psalms and antiphons, and readings that vary according to liturgical season.
The Lutheran and Anglican churches both include an evening prayer service in their liturgies. In the Anglican church, evening prayer traditionally is called evensong and can be found in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. Both Protestant churches revised their rite for evening prayer during the 1970s, and both rites are patterned closely after the traditional Roman Catholic evening prayer. In the Anglican church the revised prayers offer alternative choices for greater individual choice among congregations.
Les vespres són una part de l'ofici divà -previ a les completes-, que constitueixen la pregà ria del vespre, i que s'acostuma a celebrar cap al capvespre. En la litúrgia romana, tenen una estructura semblant a la de les laudes i té les parts següents:
el versicle inicial Deus in adjutorium meum intende, i l'himne.
la salmòdia, actualment consistent en dos salms i un cà ntic del Nou Testament.
la lectura i el responsori amb el cant del MagnÃficat.
la pregà ria que acaba amb el rés del Parenostre.
l'oració i els versicle o el dià leg finals.
Tant la salmòdia gregoriana com el magnÃficat s'interpreten de forma antifonal.
Tal com va passar amb altres parts de la litúrgia, les vespres de les grans solemnitats, ja fos de les festes assenyalades de l'any litúrgic, ja fossin les festes principals d'una determinada localitat o territori, a partir del segle xvi els textos de les vespres van rebre musicalitzacions polifòniques per part d'un bon nombre de compositors, especialment d'aquells que servien a l'església i rebien aquesta mena d'encà rrecs per dotar la litúrgia de l'esplendor adient.
Posteriorment, i d'acord amb els estils més de moda en cada època, a partir de primer Barroc molts compositors van optar per un estil concertant. Tal és el cas de les Vespres (Vespro della beate Vergine) de Claudio Monteverdi, i les diverses que va compondre Mozart (vesperae de Dominica i Vesperae solemnes de confessore). Entre les més destacades del segle xx hi ha les de Serguei Rakhmà ninov (que responen als cà nons de la litúrgia de l'església ortodoxa russa, i les que el compositor txec Petr Eben va escriure sobre un text en català i que s'estrenaren a Montserrat l'any 1968.
Entre els compositors catalans que han escrit vespres o, en tot cas, salms de vespres, hi ha Francesc Valls i Joan Cererols; i entre els valencians, Joan GenÃs Peres.
Thank you all so much for your visits!

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
You know ya never coming backt

Unlike monks of other orders, who live in common, the Carthusians—to this day—live as hermits, each occupying his own cell (more like a small house), and coming together only for the nocturnal liturgical hours, and on Sundays and feast-days, in the chapel; the other hours are sung by each monk separately in his cell. Except for the singing of the liturgy and conversation "on grave subjects" during a weekly three-hour exercise walk, Carthusians are silent, and their diet is strictly vegetarian.
The monks at Mount Grace were very conscious of hygiene and sanitation; included in the reconstructed cell is a reconstructed latrine and visitors are able to investigate the ditches used as sewage systems.
I had an epic road trip for work today. I only managed to stop a couple of times on the way home - this was taken near Oatlands, central Tasmania. The clouds were really doing some amazing things and needed to be photographed. I've photographed this tree before - it owns the hillside and keeps an eye out on the surrounding farmland.

An empty ore train from Escanaba to the DM&IR at Steelton. Passing a couple of bad orders on the siding at Tripoli. A few of my WC engineer buddies said these cars had glass drawbars! By spring when the lakes/locks opened, and the ore boats were running, the route was littered with these B/Os
A throwback to 2015 and a group of snappers scramble for position at Barnetby station just 3 months before the signals were decommissioned, in an attempt to bag a few final shots from this one-time semaphore mecca.
The secondary subject on this occasion is DB Cargo Shed 66132, seen here working an iron ore empties from Scunthorpe back to Immingham Dock to collect yet another load for the hungry steelworks' blast furnaces.
Plenty of heat-haze coming off the loco which, despite the box wagons being empty, still looks like it's putting in a shift.

Cathedral , Wawel, Krakau
The Royal Archcathedral Basilica of Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus on the Wawel Hill , also known as the Wawel Cathedral (Polish: katedra wawelska), is a Roman Catholic church located on Wawel Hill in Kraków, Poland. More than 900 years old, it is the Polish national sanctuary and traditionally has served as coronation site of the Polish monarchs as well as the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Kraków. Karol Wojtyla, who in 1978 became Pope John Paul II, the day after his ordination to the priesthood, offered his first Mass as a priest in the Crypt of the Cathedral on 2 November 1946, and was ordained Kraków's auxiliary bishop in the Cathedral on 28 September 1958.
The current, Gothic cathedral, is the third edifice on this site: the first was constructed and destroyed in the 11th century; the second one, constructed in the 12th century, was destroyed by a fire in 1305. The construction of the current one began in the 14th century on the orders of bishop Nanker.

Our coffee shop next door has finally reopened. Our world as we know it has permanently changed. But at least we can have some kind of normal and enjoy the odd moment pretending everything was back the way it was.

Christmas tree plantation.
Nobody really knows what the end of year festivities will look like this year, but hopefully they will still include trees.
Put yourself Damme canal on the ferry Kobus. This ferry is completely manually operated and is suitable for walkers and cyclists. You can find it at the end of the Killer Street in Lapscheure. Have fun!
The Damme Canal (French: Canal de Damme. Dutch: Damse Vaart or Napoleonvaart) is a canal in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The canal links Bruges with the Western Scheldt at Sluis (now across the frontier in The Netherlands). It was constructed on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte who wished to create a canal network in order to permit the efficient transport of troops without the risk of disruptive interventions from the British navy.

CN L542 pauses on the Fergus Spur just outside FloChem while the conductor and trainee meet with the yard foreman to discuss spotting the inbound cars. Their 15 minute break allowed plenty of time for a farmer to finish plowing his driveway which crosses both the Fergus Spur main track and the FloChem siding. Shortly, 4732 will cut off from it's train and run ahead to the switch for the crew to sweep it out and start their work.

Another day is soon to close for the California Northern. It's been a long day for these guys, with one crew spending the morning unloading the last cut of loads, and the outbound crew showing up early in the afternoon. After spending a couple hours getting the train ready for departure, it was time to go.
The train was originating in Artois, bound for the UP interchange at Davis. The crew this day had a much shorter trip than usual, as it being a gypsum meant there were no cars to set out or pick up. The crew did run into a few problems along the way, leaving Artois they had to run long hood forward at restricted speeds, the original lead motor had no radios, therefore having to pick up a new lead unit, several cars running the gates in front of them, which they got very close to hitting at least one, and a slow order at Yolo. By the time the train reached Davis blue hour would have just passed.
At Yolo, the train approaches the single span truss over Cache Creek. Going only 10 mph, I decided to shoot the train as it approached the bridge, getting the headlights to emphasize the slight grade approaching the creek. The sun was soon to drop below the horizon, and the sky can be seen slowly turning into a vibrant purple. This would be my last shot of the train before heading home.
Despite it being mid-November the Mahonia in the garden is in full bloom and buzzing with insects. The most abundant are the two shown here, the honeybee (in flight) and the common drone fly (Eristalis tenax). The hoverfly is a honeybee mimic and this shot provides a comparison between it and the real thing.
I wonder how long it will be before the nectar runs out and the flying insect season comes to an end.
