The Zoroastrian Fire Temple, also known as Yazd/Bahram/Behram Ateshkadeh, is a temple in Yazd, to the west of Yazd in Iran. A fire temple in Zoroastrianism is the place of worship for Zoroastrians.The fire inside is said to have been burning since about 470 AD which is visible through a window from the entrance hall. The flame was transferred to Ardakan in 1174, then to Yazd in 1474 and to its present site in 1940. Above the entrance of this building, there is symbolic bird-man (Faravahar) which is symbol of Zoroaster.
The figure inside is that of an old man, representing wisdom of age. There are two wings in two sides of the picture, which have three main feathers. These main feathers indicate three symbols of "good thoughts, good words, and good deeds," which are at the same time the motive of flight and advancement. The lower part of the Faravahar consists of three parts, representing "bad reflection, bad words and bad deeds" which causes misery and misfortune for human beings. There are two loops at the two sides of the Faravahar, which represent positive forces and negative forces. The former is directed toward the face and the latter is located at the back. This also indicates that we have to proceed toward the good and turn away from bad. The ring in the center symbolizes the eternity of universe or the eternal nature of the soul. As a circle, it has no beginning and no end. One of the hands points upwards, indicating that there is only one direction to choose in life and that is forward. The other hand holds a ring and some interpreters consider that as the ring of covenant and used in wedding ceremonies representing loyalty and faithfulness which is the basis of Zartosht's philosophy.
Today's result. Tested positive on Thursday & the line is still getting stronger. Feeling a bit sorry for myself, but so far just a stuffy nose, dry cough & especially rather fatigued. It could be a lot worse.
Even in the middle of a winter storm she could still smile. Given her condition, there is a lesson to learn from her.

Lumen positive from 1950 military speed graphic 4x5. Shot on old Ilford MG IV paper. Initially 8 hour pinhole and then replaced with a Leitmeyr Doppel Anistigmat Syter 135mm f 6.3 for 2 hours with the paper dampened. There is some double exposure effect but it is difficult to make out without knowing what it is. Original negative, then an edited positive image, and an edited version that is somewhere between a positive and negative solarization.
One of the best things of flickr is how we cheer each other on to improve our photographic skills. It is really rewarding when you get all that positive feedback.
Why don’t we do the same with other aspects of our life? Why don’t we make this the positive feedback week!
Why am I going on about positive feedback you say? Well last week a new client came in to our office because he received a tax notice and wanted to get all his taxes up to date. He came in last Friday and sent me this email over the weekend:
“Thanks for taking care of my "emergency" return so fast. You did in 4 hours what my ex CPA couldn't do in 4 years. Your easy, calm insight, and a commanding knowledge of the system, combined with no drama or theatrics, made my experience there so pleasant. I appreciate that so much. All I was looking for was competence, yet I found expertise. A very pleasant surprise in this uncertain world. How often do you receive more than you were expecting these days? it's rare. You are "the man". Looking forward to all that lies ahead.”
I loved his email so much that I asked permission to share it. Pay it forward with positive feedback!

A common railfan argument is that the railroads should paint and maintain heritage units as a gesture of goodwill to the general public. While I have heard many positive statements regarding these locomotives from the public, I believe that Veterans/First Responder painted units have even more of an impact on communities. In this photo, passengers march past the large, veterans decal after disembarking train 370 in Grand Rapids, MI. Surely every single passenger will be reminded that America's Railroad salutes our veterans. What better way to show appreciation for those who sacrificed than a rolling reminder of our gratitude.
I woke today with a bit of a sore throat so I did a flow test and it showed positive for covid infection – bother. Happily, I don't feel all that unwell.
I was passing by ,on a bus in Grenada , the Caribbean , when I noticed this group in a small river . Friendly waves were exchanged but this young lad seemed quite excited to see us .

A positive attitude may not solve all our problems but that is the only option we have if we want to get out of problems.

Llamas may be known for their soothing dispositions, but the alpacas were way more into the whole petting zoo idea.

Just for fun, I thought I'd use Negative Lab Pro to turn a slide into a 'negative' :-)
Having a godly, positive attitude will make all the difference in enjoying happiness, success, and contentment in life. “Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitude toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.… When my attitude is right, there’s no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me” (Charles Swindoll, Strengthening Your Grip).
1. Loving and serving God must have first priority in our thinking.
Deuteronomy 10:12–13 Now, people of Israel, listen to what the LORD your God demands of you: Worship the LORD and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart, and obey all his laws. I am giving them to you today for your benefit. (GNT)
Joshua 23:11; 24:14–15; Matthew 22:37
2. We must maintain an eternal perspective in our thinking.
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. (ESV)
2 Corinthians 4:18 We look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (ESV)
Matthew 16:23–25; Romans 14:7–8
3. Our minds must be focused on spiritual things—what God desires for us.
Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. (NIV)
4. We must have transformed, renewed minds and must not think as unbelievers think.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (ESV)
Ephesians 4:17–24
5. We must think sacrificially, placing others ahead of ourselves.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. (ESV)
Ephesians 4:2; Philippians 2:3–7
6. A humble attitude is pleasing to God. Sinful pride he clearly hates.
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. (ESV)
Romans 12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. (ESV)
Proverbs 11:2; 16:18; 18:12; Romans 12:16
7. When others have wronged us, an attitude of forgiveness is commanded. Bitterness must be put away.
Ephesians 4:30–32 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (ESV) Romans 12:17–21
