The chapel of Queen Mary's heart near Transylvania's Bran Castle.

Little known, but invaluable in beauty, is the Church of the Heart of Queen Mary of Bran

hides an extremely beautiful story about Queen Mary.

 

A faithful replica of the Stella Maris church from the town of Walsik, which was granted by Romania after World War II in Bulgaria, was built in Byzantine style at the request of Princess Eleana in memory of her mother, Queen.

 

History says that one of Queen Mary's greatest pleasures was spending time in Balchik's chapel and her wish was to bury her heart there after she died. Because this was no longer possible, the princess demanded the construction of a chapel very close to Bran Castle. The box containing the queen's heart was temporarily deposited in the wooden church of Bran Castle and after a year was transferred to a crypt dug into the rock of Bran Maggiore, awaiting the completion of the church.

 

In 1947, however, it was the abolition of the monarchy in Romania by the communist regime, so although the chapel was completed in time, it was no longer sanctified and Queen Maria's heart remained hidden in the rock for 27 years! It was not until 1968 that the director of the Bran Museum, together with others, opened the crypt and the sarcophagus and found the golden box containing the queen's heart. Inside the gold box was another silver box wrapped in English and Romanian flags, as well as platinum and gemstones. Since then, Queen Maria's heart is in the National Museum of Romanian History

  

Παρεκκλήσι η καρδία της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας κοντά στο κάστρο Μπράν της Τρανσυλβανιας.

  

Λίγο γνωστό, αλλά με ανεκτίμητη ομορφιά, η Εκκλησία της Καρδιάς της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας του Bran

αποκρύπτει μια εξαιρετικά όμορφη ιστορία για τη Βασίλισσα Μαρία.

Πιστό αντίγραφο της εκκλησίας Stella Maris από την πόλη Βάλτσικ , που παραχωρήθηκε από τη Ρουμανία μετά τον Δεύτερο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο της Βουλγαρίας, χτίστηκε σε βυζαντινό ύφος, κατόπιν αιτήματος της πριγκίπισσας Eλεάνας, στη μνήμη της μητέρας της ,Βασίλισσας Μαίρη.

Η ιστορία λέει ότι μία από τις μεγαλύτερες απολαύσεις της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας ήταν να περάσει ο χρόνος στο παρεκκλήσι του Bάλτσικ και η επιθυμία της ήταν να θάψει την καρδιά της εκεί μετά που πέθανε. Επειδή αυτό δεν ήταν πλέον δυνατό, η πριγκίπισσα απαίτησε την κατασκευή ενός παρεκκλησίου πολύ κοντά στο Κάστρο του Μπράν. Το κουτί που περιείχε την καρδιά της βασίλισσας ήταν προσωρινά κατατεθειμένο στην ξύλινη εκκλησία του Κάστρου Bran και μετά από ένα χρόνο μεταφέρθηκε σε μια κρύπτη που έσκαψε στο βράχο του Bran Maggiore, περιμένοντας την ολοκλήρωση της εκκλησίας.

Το 1947, ωστόσο, αποτελούσε την κατάργηση της μοναρχίας στη Ρουμανία από το κομμουνιστικό καθεστώς, οπότε αν και το παρεκκλήσι ολοκληρώθηκε εγκαίρως, δεν ήταν πλέον αγιασμένο και η καρδιά της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας παρέμεινε κρυμμένη στο βράχο για 27 χρόνια! Μόνο το 1968 ο διευθυντής του Μουσείου Μπραν μαζί με άλλους άνοιξαν την κρύπτη και τη σαρκοφάγο και βρήκαν το χρυσό κουτί που περιείχε την καρδιά της βασίλισσας. Στο εσωτερικό του χρυσού κιβωτίου υπήρχε ένα άλλο κιβώτιο από ασήμι τυλιγμένο σε σημαίες της Αγγλίας και της Ρουμανίας, καθώς πλατίνα και πολύτιμοι λίθοι. Έκτοτε, η καρδιά της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας βρίσκεται στο Μουσείο Εθνικής Ιστορίας της Ρουμανίας.

  

I'm re-posting this one because I made subtle changes in the editing and I think I like it better now.

It seems to be a popular shot alot of people had requested to buy a copie.

So I'm looking into framing it on Canvas and adding it to my collection for my craft shows at the end of the year!.

 

Unfortunately I can't edit out the print of the wood-board. Hens why it's in black and white the shot. The long stripe and print are in bright red and black. Which ruins the shot! Too much distraction I think...

 

Anyway I hope you you don't mind seeing the shot a second time... Hope you like it! :)

A special request from two amazing people. Two amazing people I have cherished having as friends for about a decade. I was honoured to do a photo of them.

Sabian and Moon, Wishing you both many more years together as a couple and thank you for being amazing friends.

Below is a special song for them

 

Thanks to Synnergy for such amazing backgrounds you can adjust.

 

🎼: Ain't No Mountain High Enough ~ Martin Gaye & Tammi Terrill ~

 

💜╰┈➤: Gwyn's Passions

 

Listen, baby, ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me, no matter where you are

No matter how far, don't worry, baby

Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry

 

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby

 

Remember the day I set you free

I told you, you could always count on me, girl

And from that day on I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me some way, some how

 

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby

 

Oh no darling, no wind, no rain

Or winters cold can stop me baby

No, no baby, 'cause you are my love

If you ever in trouble, I'll be there on the double

Just send for me, oh baby

 

My love is alive, way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can

Grandpops Woodlice, also known as Philip Male, wrote that he would prefer to see one yellow bead. (See his comments on the previous macro, if curious.) I'm not certain if that meant one yellow bead without the tiny 18mm glass container or cork top. Perhaps he is quite a minimalist, although perhaps not. That is a large bear he posted today.

 

Fiddled with this a tad in an old version of Photoshop.

COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 is attacking all over the world. Japan is no exception, and everyday is becoming more difficult. As a photographer, I also thought about life and postponed the exhibition according to the government's request. The Japanese government does not support artists. So I decided to hold an online photo exhibition. This is free to watch.

 

The photo exhibition should be in the dark in the room at night, preferably with the playlist. Look at the brightness of mobile terminals at 1/3.

  

Thank you for your support. Thanks to everyone, we had more access than in Japan. Thank you. Last but not least, I would be happy if you could share the URL of the photo exhibition on your SNS. Thank you!

Last one from our trip to the Lake District for now, I have loads more but I feel like mixing things up a bit for the rest of the week.

 

No trip to the lakes is complete without a reflection shot, and as we had failed to get any reflections at Buttermere we stopped at Rydal Water instead. We hadn't planned to go here, but as we were driving past we saw the lake was flat as a pancake so made a quick pit stop.

 

The Autumn colours were just starting to come out and it really did look beautiful. We had about an hour here, but the wind soon picked up and the water started getting a bit choppy so we headed off to the pub for some lunch.

On Wednesday evenings I often get together with a friend with the intention of learning to sing and play guitars together.

He's on holiday this week and I'm not envious at all ... not one single bit .... well maybe just a little bit.

Well anyway, Tony, if you're reading this, which you almost certainly won't be because you're probably eating donuts and having way too much fun, but if by chance you are then practise, practise, PRACTISE !!!

 

~ The Traveling Wilburys - End Of The Line ~

After a disappointing weekend with no photography, I headed to Boscastle in Cornwall after work last night.

 

Boscastle is one of my favourites places and having not been there for a while I took decided I was due a revisit.

 

The village was like a ghost town when I arrived, normally on a summer's evening the place would be packed with tourists and locals sitting outside the local pubs, but due to lockdown the place was like a ghost town. At first, I thought I had the place to myself but as I walked down through the harbour I saw a group of people on the harbour wall. So, I made my way up the cliffs to Penally point and started looking for compositions.

 

Boscastle is more suited to late Autumn or Winter sunsets if you want the sun in shot but I was happy with the gorgeous side light hitting the Southern cliffs.

Back rested and bright eyed and bushy tailed I am starting with one of my favorite views of Haarlem which is the backside approach to the Nieuwe Kerk the scene always appears to me as a picture waiting to be captured and a fitting end to my reworks of Haarlem.

 

Originally there stood a cramped and falling down gothic St. Anne's chapel which the Nieuwe Kerk replaced in 1649 by Jacob van Campen’s Gothic austere design as Haarlem’s first stone built protestant church but keeping the locally designed Renaissance tower by Lieven de Key by request of the city .

 

This style of protestant church was designed to focus the congregants attention on the pulpit instead of the ornamentation and the outside was to represent the temple keep in Jerusalem.

 

The Nieuwe Kerk also served a more practical reason as well, in the winter the Grote Kerk is freezing and there is not an easy way to heat it comfortably to make it bearable for the attendees so during the colder months of the year the congregation moves into a much smaller warmer space of the New Church.

 

I took this on Sept 13th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/10 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Boss

This guy has been hanging around and he seems like a bit of an outcast as he is often alone and doesn't really have a mob to call his own.

 

He has let me get close to him to take photos even though I don't want to get too close just in case he decides he doesn't want to be friends.

 

Anyway the other day he did deiced to take back my friend request and as I went to take a photo he came at me.

 

I basically shit myself and ran back into the safety of the cat yard. I can take a hint.

  

Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral

1085 De la Cathedrale Street, Montreal

 

The Cathedral is the third largest church in Quebec and is Catholic denomination. It was built to replace the former St. Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. Work began in 1875 it was completed in 1894 and consecrated as St. James Cathedral being the patron of the parish that it served.

However in 1955 at the request of Cardinal Paul-Emile Leger it was rededicated by Pope Benedict XV to Mary, Queen of the world. There have been a number of restoration works. In 2003 the enclosed porch and esplanade were restored. Another restoration in 2005 was the work done to Bishop Ignace Bourget’s statue on the outside of the building.

The Bishop’s Mortuary was completed in 1935, this was dedicated to Bishop Bourget where lays his tomb. The walls and floors are made from Italian marble.

The Chapel of the Assumption has a beautiful wood carved altar with gold leaf decoration. There is a wonderful painting of Our Lady painted in the 17th cent by a Spanish monk (unknown). The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.

The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.

The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.

There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.

A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.

A long time Flickr friend asked for more postings of Tess and Nina - anything for a friend :)

 

These were taken on an afternoon walk when the ambient temperature, the humidity and the appearance of the always magical winter sun created a wonderful blue ice fog, a relatively rare occurrence that is very difficult to capture with a camera. Although these photos are no substitute for actually being there and experiencing this phenomenon ... at least they satisfy the request to see more of Tess and Nina. Cheers!

This is the first official photo of King Autumnus "Pepo" Cucurbita. It has always been the tradition that the first official image of the new king or queen of autumn is a painting but "Pepo" I. wants to be a modern king so he asked for a photograph, and who am I to refuse a king's request? For the photo, Pepo I. proudly wore his super comfortable, velvety-soft coronation mantle that was exclusively designed for him by Kale Lagerfeld.

 

Since Pepo is such a modern ornamental gourd, pardon, king, he also spends much of his free time searching the internet. Most recently, he developed a keen interest in body enhancements. As a first step, he requested a second eye. Born a cyclops (he's always been fine with it and it has never impaired him whatsoever), he for once wanted to have the "stereo view" experience "just like everybody else." So I made him a second eye from modeling clay, not expecting much of a "stereo view" experience for Pepo but he's delighted about it and keeps assuring me that he "sees like I have never seen before. By the way, Silke, when was the last time you dusted that corner, if I may ask?"

 

Originally, I wanted to use a tiny chestnut that I had picked up in front of my house (it's a tradition to pick one up and keep it as a good luck charm) but then I saw these small ornamental gourds at the supermarket the other day and took a closer look. One of the colourful little gourds had a tiny head with one "eye" and a huge pug nose and I kind of fell in love with it. Since there also was the first kale at the Whole Foods Market, an idea formed and I decided to stick to it and try to make it work: the birth and coronation of King Pepo I.

 

So the autumn traditions here are quite obvious: collecting leaves, and cooking with pumpkin and kale (the latter I didn't like too much as a child because back then it was the fashion to almost cook it to oblivion). Even the modeling clay eye represents a typical at-home autumn activity: crafting.

 

In-camera focus stacking yielded the best results, and combining the 15 ORF files in Helicon Focus yielded a better result than the in-camera stacked final JPG which had some artifacts. Illumination: natural light from above, yellowish light from the right, and indirect, reflected light from the left.

 

Size info: The width of the frame is a little less than 7 cm/2, 75 inches. I went as close as possible and measured the scene before taking the photo to make sure it didn't exceed our size limit. And you've seen the tiny crown before, it is 2 cm/0,78 inches "tall".

 

HMM, Everyone! (I will catch up with you a little later.)
