Symmetry makes the surreal...The "Miraculous Stairs" in the San Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM (PicFrame and Snapseed apps)
It has been so dry I wasn't expecting to find any mushrooms while I was walking my dogs this evening. That's my Pug dog at the top, Bonny, checking out the mushrooms. These are cell phone shots and put together in a montage using the PicFrame app on my phone.
Shot on iphone3, framed with picframe app, using macro lens. Has a 'light' filter.
1920's gold and blue diamond ring which belonged to my paternal grandmother. The only item my dad got once his mum passed away and which he then gave to me.
I never used it, probably never will....but the only piece of jewelry worthy enough for todays letter 'J'!
--- see my set for the individual shots. Thanks!!
Today I had the chance to take some pictures in the little museum of Göss Abbey. After the abbey's dissolution in 1782 the church, now a parish church, was the seat of the short-lived Bishopric of Leoben. The nunnery, the last remaining Imperial abbey on Habsburg lands, was dissolved in 1782 in the course of the rationalist reforms of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor, and from 1786 served for a short time as the seat of the newly founded Bishopric of Leoben, of which the former abbey church, dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Andrew, was the cathedral. The first and only bishop died in 1800.
You see the last abbess, the first and only bishop of Leoben and the last record in the chronicle of the abbey. You can read: „1782 sünd wir aufgehoben worden Amen.“(1782 we have been dissolved Amen.)
Collage is made with picframe.

„Was die Erfahrung aber und die Geschichte lehren, ist dieses, daß Völker und Regierungen niemals etwas aus der Geschichte gelernt und nach Lehren, die aus derselben zu ziehen gewesen wären, gehandelt haben.“

70 years old, or let’s say 70 years young! A good friend celebrated his birthday. In a witty speech he recalled some remarkable moments throughout all those years.

Welche Freude, wenn es heißt:
Alter, du bist alt an Haaren,
Blühend aber ist dein Geist!“
