Once upon a time churches were the tallest buildings in town, reaching for the heavens with their towers and belfries, steeples and spires... Now that secular skyscrapers have irreversibly won that race - is it the new religion?
About religion, people of Kampung Naga are muslim. But they have a quite different system in giving appreciation to the universe. They still believe a place is bordered by an unseen power. For example, jurig cai. This is the way Kampung Naga's community to call a spiritual power who live by the river and the deepest part of a river [or known as 'leuwi']. The people also believe to the unseen creatures who live in a place so called 'sanget' or 'angker' sites. As an appreciation towards these creatures, they give offerings called sasajen. Meanwhile, Bumi Ageung is a sacred place and prohibited to take pictures. Here's laying their ancestor and founding father Sembah Eyang Singaparna.

Sometimes I struggle with titles and sometimes they come so easy...... The title is a song by REM and there's a line in the chorus "Thats me in the corner"
It just seemed appropriate :))
Seen at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY. Inside are three levels of exhibits. This ark is supposedly the size of the actual ark as described in the bible. At 510' long it is approximately 310 cubits as listed in Genesis
took this photograph in an abandoned monastery somewhere in Belgium.. it was getting late when we arrived it was around the golden hour so I think I should be happy with the light at that moment.. :)
Taken a while ago, only just edited and posted.
A candid shot on Buchanan Street by the underground
These two evangelical preachers had just been having a chat with the homeless beggar seen behind them, and given him a religious tract to eat, err I mean read.
The ladder is to stand on to preach the gospel further down the street,
Visitando el pueblo fortificado de Villefranche-de-Conflent, en los Pirineos, tuvimos la suerte de poder entrar en la iglesia, del siglo XII, que no siempre está abierta al público. Las iglesias no son una gran fuente de inspiración para mi, y tampoco lo es la religión. Lo que si me parece (a veces) mágico es el contraste entre la oscuredad habitual y la luz que entra por los ventanales. Al final de la tarde, la luz daba al este coro antiguo, que desde luego no estaba en su emplazamiento originario sino que había sido desplazado debajo del campanario románico, al oeste.
Me paré un momento para hacer una foto y estuve imaginando la historia de estos árboles, que siglos atrás un artesano había sigilosamente transformado en asientos para el clérigo, y que habían atravesado el tiempo y las guerras hasta perdurar hasta hoy. Cuántos posteriores sagrados se habrán sentado en esos asientos... en invierno, en verano, en épocas de conflictos, en tiempos de bonanza...
Y luego me fijé en la firma de este Roger Souquet, otro de los miles de aficionados a los grafitis, que sin saberlo había ligado su historia individual a esta cadena de individualidades que había permanecido allí en esas sillas... En fin Jackie, que este tema que tan poco me inspiraba me ha llevado a imaginar toda una historia :-)
I've seen the light ;-)
Aurora Borealis above Bjørnskinn Church, Andøya, Norway.
The church is lightpainted a bit with the light I had on my head; in the first shot I took it was very yellowish due to the street lights...
