I wouldn't normally post a photo with such awful backlighting, but this one was hard to pass up. A boy is looking up at a woman who towers over him threatening to snuff out his torch. Is she the angel of death? Does she have to make room on earth for the baby on her left arm? And what is the kid grabbing with his left hand?
This sculpture is actually called Mother. It was commissioned from Albin Polasek by the cemetery for it's 50th anniversary in 1927. So maybe she's protecting the older child's torch even as a new sibling has joined the family.
Soon, when my Red Hood story line is over, my Scarecrow comics will be on a small hiatus. So, my question is, while that is happening... Should I make comics about Mystic? Comment below your thoughts!

Here is my latest drawing! I'm just a hobbyist! I've obviously taken no art classes and don't have a steady hand, nor am I good at perspective, but I still try to create cool images! This is supposed to be on another planet where the planet's crust has just formed. The life on it came from another planet and is very advanced. This particular colony is one of the less developed of the entire species, but it's still impressive to us. The moon-like things in the background are other colonies of the same species living in satellites around the newly crusted planet. They are in a decreasing series because many are under construction still in that order. The mountains in the background are newly formed and have yet to be eroded. The architecture is inspired by humans and is slightly gothic and greek! The sky looks like it is breaking because the upper atmosphere is very violent and sediments are being dispersed in super-super-super tornado like things.
No that wasn't a question! I want you to like my legs! If wanting isn't sufficient, then I demand that you like my legs!

The question isn't where I took this photo—that's easy, at the Haight Street Art Center at 215 Haight Street—and I urge everybody to go see the phenomenal Herb Greene retrospective exhibit which is up until May 28th! The question is: Where did Herb Greene take this famous photo during the Summer of Love?
I'm thinking of repainting these figs. Should I? If so, what colors or camouflages?
Also, I ordered from BrickWarriors last night (11:37 I think it was ;P) and I'm getting:
4 pairs of much needed Black Vambraces,
5 Mystery Packs,
1 Black Muscled Cuirass,
and 1 Steel lobster Armor
Thanks BrickWarriors!

One of the advantages of reposting shots of churches elsewhere, has shown me those I did not do well and would have to go back to.
One of the most significant ones was Upper Hardres, pronounced Hards, where half the shots in the album are of the rather fabulous porch.
So, here I was this morning, trying to get inside.
Key can be found at (name) farm. Only no directions as to where the farm might be.
So after checking nearby, I went to the car to cruise the mean streets of Upper Hardres, until I found the farm in question.
I had tried calling, but poor reception meant calls could not connect.
Anyway, I went to the farm door, rang the bell, and a very nice lady said she was going to the church anyway, to clean the brasses.
Win!
So, I met her outside the porch, and once inside I left her polishing the lectern, while I went round to get my shots.
Very nice glass, although mostly fragments, and in the east window 14th century glass from Stelling when they went all nonconformist.
Several fine memorials and some very old brasses too, but the oldest is hidden, but a rubbing can be seen.
-------------------------------------------
Drastically damaged in a fire in 1972, the church has been restored. Built as is usual in this part of the county of flint with ragstone dressings, its stands on a plateau between two steep valleys. The tower stands on the south of the church, with only a plain parapet to distinguish its otherwise defensive appearance. The east wall has a pair of thirteenth century lancet windows – tall and deeply splayed internally, which contain some outstanding 14th century glass, restored in the last century by Canterbury Cathedral glaziers. There are also come interesting monuments in the church. The brass to a former priest here, John Strete, dates from the early fifteenth century and depicts him kneeling in prayer. The prayer is carried up on a scroll to St Peter and St Paul, patrons saints of the church. In the chancel is a large monument in alabaster to Thomas Hamon (d 1684). It has to be said that it is not one of the county`s better monuments of the period. However in the south aisle is something altogether finer – a memorial to the last baronet of the Hardres family, Sir William, who died in 1764. This fine architectural tablet has in its pediment a portrait medallion of the deceased. The inscription describes him as `just, benevolent and charitable`.

UPPER HARDRES
OR Hardes, as it is usually pronounced, written formerly Great, and High Hardres, and sometimes Much Hardres, lies the next parish south-eastward from Lower Hardres. The greatest part of it in the upper half hundred of Bridge, but there is a small part, on the eastern side, in the hundred of Loningborough, which is within the manor of Eleham. There is only one borough in this parish, viz. that of Upper Hardres.
THE PARISH is a very lonely and unfrequented place, situated on high ground among the hills, having large tracts of woodland on each side of it. The Stonestreet way runs along the valley, near the western boundary of it; the soil of it is very poor, consisting mostly of either chalk, or a hungry red earth, covered with sharp slint stones. Hardres-court stands on high ground, a most retired and sorlorn situation, and for some years past an almost deserted habitation; near it is the church and parsonage. There is no village, but at some distance further, near Stelling and the Minnis, there is a hamlet of cottages called Bossingham.
THE MANOR OF UPPER HARDRES, written in Domesday as it is now pronounced, Hardes, was at the time of taking that survey, in 1080, part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the title of whose lands it is thus entered in it:
The bishop of Baieux himself holds in demesne Hardes. It was taxed at two sulings. The arable land is four carucates. In demesne there is one, and nine villeins with two carucates. There is a church and five servants. Wood for the pannage of twenty bogs. In the time of king Edward the Consessor it was worth seven pounds, and afterwards one hundred shillings, now seven pounds, and yet it pays ten pounds. Eduin held it of king Edward.
Four years after which, the bishop was disgraced, and all his estates consiscated. After which the seignory or see paramount of this manor was granted to Rich. Fitz-Gilbert, whose descendants took the name of Clare, and became earls of Gloucester and Hertford. Of them the manor of Hardres was again held by a family who assumed their surname from it; for in the record quoted by Somner as Domesday, Robert de Hardes is said to have then held land of the archbishop, as of his manor of Liminge, and probably, therefore, resided here as early as the year 1080, the 15th of the Conqueror's reign. His descendants bore for their arms, Gules, a lion rampant, ermine, debruised with a chevron, or, in token of their holding this manor by knight's service, of the castle of Tunbridge, which was the antient seignory of the Clares, earls of Gloucester; these being an allusion to their arms, which were Or, three chevrons, gules; (fn. 1) and they continued the possessors of this manor, and to reside here, down to Thomas Hardres, for so the name was then, and had been for a long time written. He was with king Henry VIII. at the siege of Bullein, in France, and for his service there was permitted to bring from thence the gates of that city, which still remain at Hardres-court, in the garden wall, opposite the church; and the king on his return lay here two nights, and as a further mark of his favour, left his dagger, which was very lately preserved in the house. He died in 1556, holding this manor in capite by knight's service, whose lands were disgavelled by the act of 31 Henry VIII. His two sons dying both s.p. this manor came to his brother Richard Hardres, who afterwards resided here, where he kept his shrievalty in the 30th year of Elizabeth, whose son Sir Thomas Hardres married Eleanor, daughter and heir of Henry Thoresby, esq. master in chancery, by whom he had Richard, his successor here; Thoresby, who left issue; Peter, D. D. prebendary of Canterbury, and Sir Thomas, king's sergeant-at-law, ancestor of John Hardres, of Canterbury, M. P. for that city in several parliaments of queen Anne's, and in George I.'s reigns, whose two daughters and coheirs, Martha and Pledwell, both lately died unmarried there, which branch bore the arms without the chevron. Richard Hardres, esq. the eldest son of Sir Thomas, was first knighted, and afterwards made a baronet in 1642, in whose descendants, baronets and residents at Hardrescourt, this manor continued down to Sir William Hardres, bart. who died possessed of it, s.p. in 1764, and by his will devised it to his widow Frances, one of the daughters and coheirs of John Corbet, esq. of Salop, on whose death intestate in 1783, it became vested in her heirs, who were her four sisters and their representatives, in like manner as has been already fully mentioned before, under Stelling, and they are in manner as is there mentioned, at this time jointly entitled, in undivided shares, to the possession of this manor and seat. A court baron is held for this manor.
THE MANOR OF LINSORE, alias LINCHESOER, lies in the south-east part of this parish, in a deep vale, called from it Linsey-bottom, enveloped with woods on the rising hills on each side of it. It was given by Æthelwulf, king of the West Saxons, by the name of the land called Licesora, to Winhere, abbot of St. Augustine's, for seventy marcs in money. (fn. 2) Before the taking the survey of Domesday, it was granted away by one of the abbots, in fee-ferme, by which it was held by R. Clifford, of the abbot. After which, in king Richard the IId.'s reign, it was held in like manner by the family of Garwinton, whence it was sold to Clarke, and at the beginning of Henry VIII. was alienated by Hugh Clark to Thomas Beal, gent. of Canterbury, and he, anno 7 of that reign, vested it in feoffees, who sold it to William Brent, of Wilsborough, whose son Robert Brent, esq. of that place, dying s.p. anno 12 Elizabeth, devised it by will to Thomas Brent, of Charing, and he dying s.p. likewise in 1612, gave this manor by his will to his nephew Richard Dering, esq. of Pluckley, son of Margaret his sister, by John Dering, esq. late of Surrenden, in whose descendants it continued till king Charles I.'s reign, when Sir Edward Dering, bart. became possessed of it, at which time he describes it as having no mansion belonging to it; that there were the foundations of an old chapel in the middle of Lynsore wood, called then Sir Thomas Garwinton's chapel; that it was reported to have been all plain ground, till the contests between the houses of York and Lancaster, when the country being drained of its inhabitants, no one was left to till the ground, and it became wood, and so remained at that time. He sold it to William Young, yeoman, of Goceston, in whose descendants it remained till Mr. Peter Young, gent. of Ashford, dying about the year 1787, his only daughter and heir entitled her husband the Rev. Edward Norwood, to the possession of it, and he is the present owner of it.
There are no parochial charities; but Mrs. Denward, of Hardres-court, has, at her own expence, within these few years, built and endowed a free school in this parish, for the teaching of the children of it to read and write. The poor constantly relieved are about ten, casually as many.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Bridge.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, consists of two isles and two chancels, having a low flat tower on the south side, in which are three bells. The church is small, and seems antient. In the high chancel, which is as long as the church, is the burial place of the family of Hardres, where are several monuments and gravestones, some with brasses for them. A monument for David Jones, A.M. another, with the figure of a man lying at full length, for Thomas Hamon, youngest son of William, of Acrise, obt. 1651. A stone, with figures, inscription, and ornaments in brass, for John Strete, once rector, ob. 1404. In the south chancel a monument and several gravestones, most of which have brasses, for the Hardres's. In several of the windows are remains of painted glass, but all much defaced. In the east window of the high chancel there were, within these few years, the arms of Clare, Or, three chevrons, gules. In the south part of the church-yard is a tomb for George Sherwin, gent. obt. 1675; arms, A pelican wounding its breast. The church is kept very neat and clean, and has been lately repaired and beautified, at the expence of Mrs. Denward, of Hardres-court. When the altar was raised and new-paved, the gravestones were removed, which had once figures and inscriptions in brass, which had been all long since gone, but were probably for some of the family of Hardres. The rest of the chancel is paved with small square tiles, coloured red and yellow.
¶The church of Upper Hardres, with the chapel of Stelling annexed, seems to have continued in the patronage of the lords of the seignory of the manor, long after the manor itself had been granted away by them; for it appears by the inquisition taken after the death of Hugh de Audley, earl of Gloucester, anno 21 Edward III. that he died possessed of sixpence annual rent in Hardres, together with the advowson of this church, by which rent it must be understood, that this rectory was then esteemed a manor; and a like inquisition was found after the death of Edmund, earl of Stafford, lord likewise of this seignory, anno 4 king Henry IV. Not long after which, the patronage of it became vested in the Hardres family, since which it has continued in the same owners as the manor of Upper Hardres, and is now, with it, the property of the heirs of lady Hardres, deceased, being her four sisters, or their representatives, as has been more fully mentioned before.
It is valued in the king's books, with the chapel of Stelling, at 19l. 13s. 1½d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 19s. 3¼d. (fn. 3) In 1588 it was valued at seventy-seven pounds, communicants one hundred. In 1640 at ninety pounds, and the like number of communicants.
William Durrant, rector of this church anno 1549, purchased fifteen acres of land in this parish, which were conveyed to trustees for his use, and his successors, rectors of this church.
Peter Hardres, D. D. by his will in 1678, devised to his nephew Thomas Hardres, clerk, his study of books, with a desire that he would leave the same to the person who should succeed him in the parsonage of Great Hardres, in case his said nephew should succeed him in it, and so successively to the rector of this church for the time being.

Asked someone a very simple question the other day.
And it was actually very innocent of me. You see I was rather impressed with the myriad of clothing he/she has. And I wanted to compliment. I thought to have a wardrobe that intense, You would surely must be living full time female.
Simple. And people here know I view life in it's most simple ways.
well I got back this message talking about I'm this and and I'm that and finally coming to the final stroke of genius from Mr./Mrs. Sanctimonious ( I'll leave that to you out there) the question. Who am I and how do I live..........
I've answered this question a thousand times. I am Raven. I am a female. I live as a female 24/7. I work as a female. Not as a hooker. But as a well paid Construction Consultant. I go to gym as female' I shop as a female. I live everyday life as a female. For 17 years, wearing female attire. Always female in public and private.
See....... It's not a hard question to answer. And one last point. I do not think it's for everyone. Quite the opposite. Its filled with lots of disappointment and heartache. And I respect those who do very much. But to the part timers. I understand that completely also.
The bottom line is we're all made by God. And if he didn't want. He wouldn't have put that in our DNA. And as long as you don't harm another person, including yourself. Go for it.
I choose this pic for a reason. This is me at home. Just a girl lying around relaxing watching the tube..... Can't be more female than that

Questions About Angels
By Billy Collins
Of all the questions you might want to ask
about angels, the only one you ever hear
is how many can dance on the head of a pin.
No curiosity about how they pass the eternal time
besides circling the Throne chanting in Latin
or delivering a crust of bread to a hermit on earth
or guiding a boy and girl across a rickety wooden bridge.
Do they fly through God's body and come out singing?
Do they swing like children from the hinges
of the spirit world saying their names backwards and forwards?
Do they sit alone in little gardens changing colors?
What about their sleeping habits, the fabric of their robes,
their diet of unfiltered divine light?
What goes on inside their luminous heads? Is there a wall
these tall presences can look over and see hell?
If an angel fell off a cloud, would he leave a hole
in a river and would the hole float along endlessly
filled with the silent letters of every angelic word?
If an angel delivered the mail, would he arrive
in a blinding rush of wings or would he just assume
the appearance of the regular mailman and
whistle up the driveway reading the postcards?
No, the medieval theologians control the court.
The only question you ever hear is about
the little dance floor on the head of a pin
where halos are meant to converge and drift invisibly.
It is designed to make us think in millions,
billions, to make us run out of numbers and collapse
into infinity, but perhaps the answer is simply one:
one female angel dancing alone in her stocking feet,
a small jazz combo working in the background.
She sways like a branch in the wind, her beautiful
eyes closed, and the tall thin bassist leans over
to glance at his watch because she has been dancing
forever, and now it is very late, even for musicians.
I'm really sorry that I haven't posted any thing in a couple of months but I have been really busy with school and haven't have time to build any thing.
I haven't built any thing on my halo frigate sadly but I'm about 70% done whit my scorpion tank.
So now for the question:
In the picture you can se my Swedish military vehicles. Do you think I should keep them or use the parts to build more halo vehicles?
Kauai is without question Hawaii's hidden gem, and one of the most remarkably gorgeous destinations in all of the Pacific.
I have to give a huge thank you to the Kauai Visitors Bureau for hosting, and to McNeil Wilson Communications for putting together a brilliant itinerary.

there is normally more to a photo than what first meets the eye, sometimes they are like the work of an artist leaving questions and messages hidden in plain sight.
We all post photos for our own reasons normally as a way of validating our being, some are just plain shallow look at how fab i am photos, others are this is my journey, some are just cries for help or friendship maybe answers or support. Very rarely are we asking for the truth!!! Dont count me in that last one i really dont care if you tell me the truth or not i will carry on regardless lol.
so try if you can to take the time and look past the pretty dresses, long legs stockings satin and lace or whatever atracts to the photo, Read the narative if their is one or the title. if its out of the norm for the subjuct mybe commnet. for instance if all you have ever seen is her shoes but all of a sudden you get a full body shot minus her head just say how nice it is to see more of her,
Yeah i really should take my own advice.
But you get the idea of what i am saying.
How many people first saw the reflection of the two guys before they noticed the Fist sign or the number ten and what about those wonderful rivets on the wagon beyond the glass?
