To prove his loyalty to the Cross and the Empire, Pribislav accompanied Henry the Lion on a year-long journey to Jerusalem, where they joined pilgrims at the holy sites, prayed at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and demonstrated their submission to Christian authority by venerating relics and fulfilling pilgrimage vows.
Some tourists entering into the basement of the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, near Portofino.
The Abbey of San Fruttuoso is a Catholic abbey on the Italian Riviera between Camogli and Portofino, built in the VII century.
The abbey is located in a small bay beneath a steep wooded hill. It can only be reached by sea and by hiking trails, there is no road access. The abbey is owned by the heritage organisation Fondo Ambiente Italiano.
Christ of the Abyss
The underwater statue Christ of the Abyss was installed in the sea off San Fruttuoso in 1954, at a depth of 17 metres (56 ft).

Pilgrimage ng mgkakapatid sa Pampanga at sa Sta. Maria, Bulacan-(Ulet-hahah)--March 9, 2008
... on pilgrimage routes through the small villages between Alsace (France) and the Markgräfler Land (Germany).

It is always with a sense of anticipation when I visit one of my favourite churches. If I have not been for a while I will often feel a 'calling' to return.
The atmosphere of the church will envelop me and I know I have to go.
This church is St. Mary's, and is only a ten minute walk from where I live. This day I walked a different way, through a small park, and the morning light lit up the pampas grass.
I am going to add on a thank you here to everybody who has supported me on Flickr. With this third batch of images that I have uploaded, this image being the first of those, I have done this with more confidence this time round because of all your support. Nobody really saw my images except my partner, my parents, and a couple of close friends, for over 25 years. I worked in isolation, never really thinking it was good enough. Things changed when I lost some members of my family under difficult circumstances, and to save my heart I picked up my camera again on the advice of a gentle man of faith. I am grateful to him, and I wish to say a big thank you to all of you.
Thank you, all, Shelley.

All shots of this series done with Leica M8 plus Voigtlander AS 2.8/90 wide-open. The location is one of Hertfordshire's garden centres (which, as I have told you before, I do regard as one of our barometers gauging the status of contemporary culture). This time, I had the chance of talking things through with one of the managers of the centre. First, the garden centre acquires and exhibits sculptures (and almost all sorts of them) because customers buy them. No surprise here, but as well no explanation as why they do so. Two, and importantly, the centre displays the sculptures according to visual criteria (difference of colour, background, focal or points of attraction). Three, the sculptures (as stand alone figures or in clusters) are located on critical junctions of the passage way through the centre. All this, in my view, creates a semi-sacred topography where customers (believers in the regeneration and wholeness of nature) perambulate as if on a procession. The content and individuality of any specific religion does not seem to matter, however, a general and undefined kind of spirituality does.

Mount Fiji, the highest mountain of Japan has been a symbol of worship for many Japanese for its dignified shape and pure beauty. Many people climbed the top to offer their prayer for their health and prosperity for ages. For those who tried to climb the top, many routes were developed and lodging inns were built, and for those who could not climb the steep and high mountain, many temples and shrines were built along the routes at the foot of the mountains. The mountain and its surrounding remains/buildings are now preserved under the designation of the UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage in 2017.
Neben Maria Plain zählt Maria Kirchental zu den beliebtesten Wallfahrtsorten im Salzburgerland. Kaum ein anderer Ort weit und breit kann eine so beeindruckende Einheit von Natur und Kultur, von Geschichte und Gegenwart aufweisen. Seit über 300 Jahren pilgern Salzburger, Tiroler, Oberösterreicher und Bayern zu diesem 900 m hoch gelegenen Gnadenort zu Füßen der Loferer Steinberge. „Bergkristall unter den Wallfahrtsorten“ hat ihn Alterzbischof Eder nach Abschluß der Renovierungsarbeiten im September 2001 genannt.
The low-angle light of late afternoon on a winter's day splashes brightly on the red-rock fins comprising the Devil's Garden, Arches National Park, Utah. In the distance, freshly fallen snow coats the La Sal Mountains.
I have walked this trail many times, and I hope to walk it many more. Visiting this particular place and taking in this view has become a pilgrimage of sorts. I find it most arresting in winter, as the combination of snow, red rock, and rich light makes the spirit buoyant and the mind rooted to the present. It is also difficult to comprehend that our family walked this route when our boys were tiny, and now the oldest is about to finish his senior year and venture out to college in 2023. At times, thoughts like these overwhelm me with maudlin sentimentality, though I am grateful for all of it. With this light, I raise a metaphorical glass and a toast to the new year: may its twists and turns be rich with unexpected adventure, and may our sorrows and griefs keen only because we are filled with love.
Happy new year!
This is my second favourite from yesterday's light extravaganza in Upper Padley.
Looks like a still from a film I feel.
Make of it what you will.
Happy days.
Chanctonbury Ring is a prehistoric hill fort atop Chanctonbury Hill on the South Downs, on the border of the civil parishes of Washington and Wiston in the English county of West Sussex. A ridgeway, now part of the South Downs Way, runs along the hill.
After its final abandonment around the late fourth century AD, the hill fort remained unoccupied save for grazing cattle until a mid-18th-century landowner planted a ring of beech trees around its perimeter to beautify the site. They became a famous local landmark until largely being destroyed in the Great Storm of 1987. Periodic replanting on a number of occasions to replace old or destroyed trees has afforded archaeologists the opportunity to carry out a series of excavations which have revealed much about the history of the site.
It was certainly worth visiting, very enjoyable indeed. I found this particular group of trees fascinating, like a mother and her children.

In a pilgrimage, the music takes over the place, people sing in the midst of their fight for housing.
An innocent look stands out to everyone and everything
