Cork, Ireland
aint Fin Barre's Cathedral (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra) is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879.
Tradition holds that Lochan (St Fin Barre) was born in the 6th Century . While still in the womb an evil prince conspired to burn his family, but God so favoured the child that he made the elements conspire to make the dry wood of the pyre as wet stones. Fin Barre then spoke out to the prince encouraging him to desist lest he go to hell.
Fin Barre grew up to be a wondrous child and was very learned. Three anchorites brought him to study for the priesthood and it was then he was given the name Fin Barre or in English ‘Bright/Fair Headed’. He is credited with many miraculous healings and wondrous deeds including raising people from the dead.
Fin Barre retreated to Gougane Barra but was visited by an angel who told him to leave everything he owned to Saint Ruadan and to go and find the place of his resurrection. When he reached the great marsh of Munster he was given a cow and a field. He set up a church and a school. He promised that anyone that got buried with him would see the kingdom of heaven. As a result the fame of the settlement spread so that today there is over 35 feet of burials under the Northern Tower of the Cathedral.
Fin Barre died in 606 AD and his feast day is September 23rd .Local tradition says that the Golden angel on the roof, a gift from the architect William Burges, will sound an hour before the trumpets of resurrection for the rest of the world. Thus it will allow the people of Cork to be first in line for heaven!
This old and beautiful castle is located in the Haute-Pyreness. For more information please consult:
I was on Sensory Overload as I photographed this scene... Cremation Fires burn 24 hours a day.
Varanasi, India, located on the banks of the river Ganges is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities, and one of the holiest in Hinduism. Pilgrims come to the Ganges here to wash away sins in the sacred waters, to cremate their loved ones, or simply to die here, hoping for liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Varanasi has been a cultural center of northern India for several thousand years. The city is known worldwide for its many Ghats, embankments made in steps of stone slabs along the river bank where pilgrims perform ritual ablutions.
(A funeral pyre is a structure made of wood for burning a body as part of a funeral rite. As a form of cremation, a body is placed upon or under the pyre, which is then set on fire)
(Canon PowerShot G1 X, 1/125 @ f/4.5, ISO 6400)
"Rising from the ashes, you spread your wings to fly.
Reaching now for those final dreams, belief will never die.
Beautiful and so glorious, the eternal bird of fire.
Soaring up into the sun, leaving behind the pyre.
Dreams are now your destiny; reach with all your might.
You’re a powerful inferno, ablaze and in full flight.
Yesterday is over, today has just begun.
The sky is now your playground your home is now the sun.
Destiny is in your grasp, forget the doubts and fears.
Your flame will burn eternally for all remaining years.
There will be times of doubt, and moments of pure sorrow.
But one thing that is ever true, you’re the angel of tomorrow."

The Doors
Hindus believe the banks of the Ganges next to the holy city of Varanasi is the most sacred place on earth to die
Up to 300 people are cremated at the sacred site every day to liberate their souls to find nirvana and be reborn
It is believed anyone who dies in Varanasi breaks the cycle of death and rebirth and achieves nirvana (moksha)
Legend says that the flames of the funeral pyres at Manikarnika Ghats have been burning for some 3,000 years

Mystery of a blood red rose
burning like a raging fire
when the day is been torn apart we'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose tempt me away......
This lake is located on the mountainside of the the peak with the same name , Anayet. It is a an unforgettable place on the western Pyreness. The best trek to reach it, is the one that goes through the Canal Roya valley, an incredible place to take photographs.
~ Old memories - it's time to discard
Throw you on the pyre along with all vices
There's a time for everything and that time has passed
Can't you just find someone else?
Begone all old ghosts
I cut the leash, just leave, you are free... ~

Layout Creek runs up to the Pryor Mountains in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Montana. A fault zone runs along the eadge of the Mountains. Mississippian Madison Limestone outcrops on the top of the mountain (the up-thrown block) and red Triassic Chugwater sands, siltstones and shales can be seen outcropping near the site of the historic Ewing-Snell Ranch (the down-thrown block). The ranch is in on the National Register of Historic Places. This photo was taken not long after the snow melted in April.

Traveling out of Delhi I accidentally came across this Ghat on the banks of the Ganges. Here the river is known as Garh Ganga and the Ghat is the Braj Ghat also known as Brijghat. I was driving (actually my driver was) along the main highway linking Delhi to Bareilly, Lucknow, etc. To the left, just outside this shot several funeral pyres were burning and people were scattering ashes in the river. Containers can be seen for sale so worshippers can collect and take away holy water from the river. Sacred cows are seen wandering freely amongst the people. India holds an at times “difficult to bear” fascination for me.
Thailand is in mourning following the death of Rama IX on October 13, 2016; he was formerly the world's longest serving monarch. His body will be kept for perhaps over 1 year within the grounds of the Grand Palace (pictured) whilst an elaborate funeral pyre is constructed on Sanam Luang (Royal Field), the green space above.

In the year 336BC, at the Macedonian capital city Aigai, present place Vergina, King Philip II whilst attending his daughter's wedding was assossinated by one of his bodyguards.
Following tradition, the body was surrendered to the funeral pyre, the remaining bones washed in wine and placed in a golden box. Philip, the hero, descends to his eternal residence, an underground barrel-vaulted building with two chambers and a monumental façade.
After extensive scientific research it has been proven beyond doubt that Tomb II, discovered undisturbed in 1977 in the Great Tumulus at Aigai and containing fabulous treasures and objects of great quality and sophistication was indeed that of King Philip II, father of Alexander the Great.
Before my visit, I was unaware that photography is strictly forbidden in the museum which is built over and encompasses the Tombs. Naturally I expressed my disappointment that having made the pilgrimage I could not have a lasting memory but the guard was unmoved; obviously she had heard all this and better arguments before.
I don't know how long I stayed transfixed in front of Philip's armour when the same guard approached me and told me quielty that I could take a photo of the Tomb. I was overcome with emotion by her simple act of kindness and wiping the tears away and trying to steady my hands this is the best I could do in the very low light.
I didn't ask her name but if there is a state employee of the year she gets my nomination for eternity.
Pavliani (Greek: Παύλιανη) is a village on Mount Oeta, and a former community in Phthiotis, Greece. It is divided into two settlements, Pavliani proper or Ano Pavliani (Άνω Παύλιανη) and Nea Pavliani (Νέα Παύλιανη) or Kato Pavliani (Κάτω Παύλιανη).
In Greek mythology, Oeta is chiefly celebrated as the scene of Heracles' death and funeral pyre. The remains of a 3rd-century BC Doric temple dedicated to Heracles and his funeral pyre (Πυρὰ Ἡρακλέους), as well as an altar and ruins of adjacent buildings, still survive at the entrance of the Katavothra plateau at a height of 1,800 m, near Pavliani. The temple complex remained in use until late Roman times. The ruins of the medieval town of Siderokastron are located to the east of the village.

Magenta and lavender are not my hues. But the more I take photos, the more I admire the gentle pinks and complementary colors/colours. (NB. I did lower the vibrancy by -2 or -3 in camera raw.)
This little gem measures about 5 cm. On a windy, recently rainy day. My kind of weather.

Has it been a year,
Or a lifetime?
'Cause it's hard to tell without counting the days,
when you stop counting the nights.
But within these Ashes there is an ember....
Ignited by a spark, illuminating darkness.
Consumed by the flame,
And it grows into inferno.
I am The Phoenix.
I am The Flame.
As my wings ignite in fire;
Reborn again, and I fly away.
I am The Phoenix;
The Phoenix Now Arises.
There was a time,
When I sacrificed myself
at the feet of my fears
for the loss of a normal life.
And as I lay down on my pyre,
At the alter of my disbelief,
To sacrifice,
The notion that my life would ever be the same
The same...
Would ever be the same....
The same...
The began within my heart a spark,
The rebirth of my new life hark!
Look to the sky and ascend your eyes,
As my wings ignite in flame,
And it takes me away
I am The Phoenix.
I am The Flame.
As my wings ignite in fire;
Reborn again, and I fly away.
I am The Phoenix;
The Phoenix Now Arises.

Goodbye dear friend and confidant.
You were the best cat ever for my mother, and when she passed you were the best for me. Unselfish, full of love, peacemaker and gentle.
Yesterday we burned your body in a pyre. Soon an apple tree will grow there, and it will have the best fruits ever.

THE SECRET KISSING OF THE SUN AND MOON – HANG MASSIVE
Guy Fawkes Night
Bonfire Night
November the 5th
Enjoy the ride; hold on tight
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The rockets sound and flash
all the children shriek out and dash
the Catherine Wheels spin
leaving behind a trail of ash
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Excited with sparklers in hand
drowning the sound out of the local brass band
children and adults cheering alike
running and laughing all over the land
HOORAH! HOORAH! HOORAH!
Candy floss and toffee apples
so sweet among the shifting shadows dapple
whatever you do never forget
to brush your teeth and floss before evening chapel
GLUG! GLUG! GLUG!
Diving in and out of tents
refreshments and baked potatoes meant
for everybody in the village
corks flying in all directions sent
POP! POP! POP!
Chilly November; Jack Frost so debonair
hats, scarfs and mittens knitted with itchy mohair
knee-deep in mud; that familiar sinking feeling
enjoying the occasion with devil-may-care
SPLODGE! SPLODGE! SPLODGE!
Stalls a-plenty like a travelling fairground
night air filled with a cacophony of sound
dodgems and side-shows
side-by-side with old and new friends found
BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP!
Spare a penny for the guy
then hoist him up on high
set a matchstick to the pyre
wave a final wave goodbye
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE
The tinder of the kindling catches
beware and only use safety matches
cries of the children sounding in awe
memories stored in little packages
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Toasting marshmallows by the fire
the rain has stopped; we sink in the mire
our wellies; our brollies; our toffee-apple lollies
this night is one of which we'll never tire
WHERE ELSE WOULD WE RATHER BE! : 0)

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.
Varanasi, Benares, Kashi, many names for one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, along the mighty river Ganga.
Many Hindus believe that cremation here in this city breaks the cycle of rebirths, with the ashes dispersed in the sacred river. Ayliha Ghat is the most important of the 3 cremation sites in the holy city, where fires burn day and night.
Processions carrying bodies wrapped in cloth lead through the narrow lanes of old town towards the ghat, where relatives and friends wait and pray, helpers are busy kindling fires, clearing ashes, delivering wood and erecting new pyres.
A remarkable place and atmosphere.

🔮🌙My,my, those eyes like fire. I'm winged insect, you're a funeral pyre. Come now,bite through these wires. I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired. Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher. Grow back your sharpest teeth. -Sleep token🌙🔮
Rouen (France) - Je voulais sortir des traditionnelles manifestations pour documenter la vox populi opposée à la réforme des retraites.
Contrairement à la recommandation de mon médecin qui m’a conseillé pour me rétablir, d’aller respirer le bon air, je suis allé faire des photos sur le piquet de grève qui bloquait l’accès de l’usine d’incinération de l’agglomération de Rouen, sur la zone portuaire. En guise d’air frais, je me suis retrouvé dans un nuage toxique issu d’un brasier monumental, alimenté avec des pneus.
Le pneu de camion brûlé est une tradition chez portuaires en grève.
Je n’avais pas franchi tous les barrages routiers pour faire demi-tour devant un nuage de fumée malodorant.
Des photos de brasier c’est toujours spectaculaire, même si ce n’est pas très recommandé, ni pour les poumons, ni pour l’environnement. S’il y a un seul portuaire qui vote écologiste, qu’il me jette le premier pneu ! Je pense avoir quelques photos du brasier qui mériteraient une publication, mais je préfère cette photos prise à la va-vite à l’écart du brasier. Une image un peu décalée.
Fireside Strikers
Rouen (France) - I wanted to get out of the traditional demonstrations to document the vox populi opposed to the pension reform.
Contrary to the recommendation of my doctor who advised me to get well, to go and breathe fresh air, I went to take pictures on the picket line which blocked access to the incineration plant of the agglomeration of Rouen, in the port area. By way of fresh air, I found myself in a toxic cloud from a monumental pyre, fueled with tires.
The burnt truck tire is a tradition among port workers on strike.
I had not passed all the roadblocks to turn around in front of a smelly cloud of smoke.
Photos of pyres are always spectacular, even if it is not very recommended, neither for the lungs nor for the environment. If there is a single port worker that votes environmentalist, throw me the first tire! I think I have a few photos of the pyre that deserve a publication, but I prefer this photo taken in a hurry away from the fire. A slightly offbeat image.
Hringhorni was the Viking ship that carried Balder's funeral pyre, after he was killed by Loki. The death of the beloved Balder was the first experience of mortality in Valhalla, and a time of great grief among the gods.
