Looks like some kids had a nice wading pool along the the W shore of Idaho's Priest Lake. I suspect their parents had to help with some of those larger boulders. Ahhh, sweet summer memories.

During the name revision in 1885, the name of this street was determined to be Prästgatan, but as early as 1586 the street was referred to as Prästegathen after the residences that were there for the city's chaplains. The four small houses in which the chaplains lived were demolished in 1708. Then the still remaining priest's residence was built. In the 1730s, the southern part of the street was called Stenbergs gränd after the German nobleman and court stable master Antonius von Steinberg (died 1675). He owned the entire block of Venus adjacent to the south end of the alley. From the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century, the same section is called Tyska Prästgatan, after the priests of the German Church, and during the same time the northern part was called Svenska Prästgatan, after the priests of the Great Church. The short part north of Storkyrkobrinken was originally called Helvetiegränden and that name came from an area called Helvetet. In 1451, an empty belæghin is mentioned in Helvite. There are different opinions about why the area was called that, possibly because the executioner lived there.
Holy moly! A great pic of a classic dealership scene. All these cars in front were bought by a driving school. As Keicar says this photo was probably taken in May 1982, judging by the Metro registrations.
Priest at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. He is Russian Orthodox, as these are the ones in charge of the upstairs part of the church.
The first stop of my Nov 2015 India photo tour is the Hindu Holiest city: Varanasi. Photographed this priest in the early morning on the waterfront ghat.

During the early stages of World War II, US Army observers realized that they would need a self-propelled artillery vehicle with sufficient firepower to support armored operations.
The 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7 was an American self-propelled gun vehicle produced during World War II. It was given the official service name 105 mm Self Propelled Gun, Priest by the British Army, due to the pulpit-like machine gun ring, and following on from the Bishop and the contemporary deacon self-propelled guns.
During the Korean War, the limited elevation of the howitzer became noticeably problematic. 127 M7B1 were modified to permit an elevation of 65° to increase the effective range of the howitzer. The machine gun mount also had to be raised to give a 360° firing arc.
Ontario Regiment R.C.A.C. Museum acquired the very rare M7 Priest from BAIV of the Netherlands, where it had been expertly restored to running condition after being rescued from a German scrap yard.
The tank was put up for auction at Tracks & Trade in Holland where it was purchased for the museum with the support of The Dunkley Charitable Foundation.

A priest inside the Pura Mahadev temple, Baghpat, Uttarpradesh.
Pura Mahadev is located on the main Baghpat – Meerut Highway. It is 30 KM from Baghpat and around 36 KM from Meerut. The sprawling temple compound is situated on the bank of river Hindan, 4.5 KM north of town Baloni in Baghpat District. According to a local myth, a shiv temple was established here by Rishi Parshuram and hence this place was called Shiv Puri. Later however the name of the place changed to Shiv Pura and the place gradually began to be known as Pura Mahadev. Mahadev being another name of lord Shiva.
Every Year, During the months of sharavan and falgun, a fourteen days festival is organised here. Millions of people from all around gather here and “Kanwariyas” pay their tribute to lord shiva by pouring holy water of The Ganges on the shivling inside the temple.
經師棚相對大士台，掛滿佛、菩薩和護法的潮州刺繡，中央是釋迦牟尼佛、東方藥師佛及阿彌陀佛。經師誦經念佛，消除眾生孽障。勝會最後一日，經師舉行「放焰口」法事，讓孤魂「聞經享食」。
盂蘭勝會的經棚是其中重要的部份。經棚是面對著附薦棚，大師們在經棚裡日夜誦經，超度幽靈，以脫離苦困。
One of the five pavilions at the Hungry Ghosts Festival event, the Praying Pavilion is where priests will chant prayers day and night, to relieve the spirits from sufferings.

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, or Yu Lan is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh month (14th in southern China).
In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm.
Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.
On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths.
Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors

The Skink Priests are the most intelligent of their skittish kind, whose role within their society are to act as religious figures, magic-users and important emissaries for their mighty Slann.
On occasion, a Skink spawning will not produce an entire cohort from the pools of life, as is the norm, but instead only a single Skink will issue forth. These individuals are marked by the Old Ones and destined to lead, or otherwise achieve greatness amongst their kind.

Every November, the height of the retreating monsoon drops a rainy deluge on the East Coast of Sri Lanka – but everyday life goes on.
At my tuk-tuk driver’s suggestion, we stopped at one of the many Hindu temples in this predominantly Tamil region.
