Captured at: Cathedral of the Incarnation
Garden City, NY.
Had one more image to share from the inside of the "Cathedral of the Incarnation", this time looking out to the towering rear exit of the church. This shot was captured with a wide angle lens to help further accentuate the high walls and soaring ceiling of this beautiful cathedral.

It was not only her responsibility to take care of here brother .....But to haul bricks inside the family Kiln .... It was common place to find children raising children .
As the old legend says, there were three brothers - Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv and their sister Lybid…They founded the medieval city in the name of their eldest brother and named the city Kyiv, which eventually became the capital of Kievan Rus' and present-day Ukraine.
This monument was opened in May 2017.
The founders of Kyiv are depicted as small children. The composition consists of four bronze figurines of babies. Three boys - Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv are playing with paper ships on the stylized map of Kyiv, which is the basis of the composition.
There is a hidden symbolism in the paper boats that the three brothers launch on the Dnipro. According to the author Volodymyr Zhuravel: “A ship is a symbol of the soul. Everyone has their own ship. Someone holds it, someone lets it go, and someone has already let it go."
Kyi’s figure looks the tallest - his hands are raised up. Shchek is carefully looking at the boat in his hands. Khoryv is launching his boat on the Dnipro. The figure of the little girl - sister Lybid, can not be noticed right away. She is sitting a little to the side on a bronze bench, watching her brothers.
Somehow the Festival of Labour has to be celebrated, even if the country is in lockdown mode!

What's this, an invitation? To the Annual Fund-Raiser's Ball? Sanura stared at the invitation in her hand, all white and pristine. "Why would I get such an invitation?" She asks herself. "I'm not rich, nor do I have social standings in that community." She continues to stare at the invitation, a look of bewilderment on her face. The name on the card was definitely hers. How though, and why? She just could not understand why she would be invited to such a high end event. At any rate it was her name, and it looked official. Now her only problem, a dress. How could she afford a formal dress? On her salary, it was just impossible ...
Two days till the Ball and still no dress, "I guess I just won't go." Sanura tells herself. She turns her head to the knock at her door, moving to the door quickly. She opens the door to find a delivery man standing there, with a sizable package in his hand.
"Your name Sanura?" the man asks. When she nods, he replies. "Good sign here please," as he hands her a clipboard.
Sanura signs the paper, asking. "What is it?" When the man doesn't answer, but only offers a shrug of his shoulders; she nods a farewell and closes the door. She rushes to the couch to open the package, and gasps at what she sees. A beautiful white, silky formal dress. She holds it up to herself and twirls around, then sways back and forth as if she were dancing with someone. Wait, she thinks to herself; who could have sent this to me? She searches the box for a card, or something that might tell her who would give her such and expensive dress. Nothing, not a single clue, as to who ...
Is the night of the ball, and there is the cab. Time to go Sanura, she tells herself. She takes one last look at herself and with a satisfied nod, heads to the cab.
The entire way there, things ran through her mind. Like, why me, who would wish me there? What if it's a mistake? Will they throw me out? Maybe I should just have the cabby turn the car around. When she arrives at the large mansion, all her thoughts just fly out the window. As a child she had always dreamed of living in such a large beautiful home. Now to be able to actually visit one, to be at a regal party inside one. All she could do was look in awe at the building before her. When the cabby spoke she nearly jumped out of her skin. She payed the guy, and stepped out of the car, walking slowly to the entrance ...
Two hours had passed, and Sanura had been having the time of her life. She danced with numerous men, some young, some old, and some around her own age. She didn't mind, she was just happy to be here. She ate some of the finest gourmet food she had ever tasted before. Talked with some of the most interesting people she had ever met. Now she was standing, sort of in a corner, just taking it all in. She had been watching a couple, that appeared to her to be from India possibly; their attire surely caused that assumption. When out of the corner of her eye, she saw him. He was absolutely gorgeous, shoulder length black hair. Bright blue eyes, that she could see from clear across the room. A well styled and kept goatee, and what looked to be a very expensive tux. His eyes, those ice blue eyes. They seemed to look straight through her, and a shiver ran right down her spine. The dream played in reverse in her mind, and she barely took a breath. Was this her dream, was this man from the dream? Surely she was in her bed at this very moment, and this was nothing more then that very dream. The panic she felt was more then enough to make her run. She ran straight through the crowd and down the long steps, to the street, where she caught the first cab that stopped. When she reached her apartment, she slammed the door, leaning against it. Her breathing was so fast and heavy, her chest was rising and falling as if she had ran a mile straight. When she had finally calmed herself and made her way to her room, she rested her head on her pillow, closing her eyes; hoping this night would be different. "Please, not tonight." The only words whispered in the still of her darkened room, as she fell into a restless sleep ...
A couple weekends ago, I was going out for my morning hike and heard an unfamiliar voice in our parking lot. This parasite brood was asking for food from its adoptive junco parent who obliged! Raising a child double your body weight is not easy!
high raise
High Raise is known as the summit at the exact centre of the Lake District, this distinction gives it a fine viewpoint of all the surrounding mountains and beyond.
That's on a clear day...
Sunday was a mixed weather day, great for walking, not so great for photography...
So here is the Haise Raise trig, behind me you can see the Scafell summit group and cloud boiling aound the summit of Great Gable

I could also describe this as a cheer, because I finally found an Eastern bluebird. But, he looks more like a kid in class trying to get the teacher's attention.

Name: Phi Raiser
Age: 25-ish
Species: Human
Bio:
Phi was born as a scavenger and spent his childhood stealing and conning to survive. But he eagerly put that life behind him when he was found by a mysterious force-user.
Now Phi is a member of the group known as the Force Followers. They, are neither Jedi or Sith. They stay away from the Dark side of the force but do not have all of the strict constrictions of the Jedi. Their, purpose in the galaxy is to keep peace without slicing people to pieces.
Eventually Phi decided to depart from the other Followers to start up a crew. His vision was to put together a crew that would take jobs with the purpose of helping others in mind.
Powers and Abilities: All of the normal force powers, except he refrains from using mind tricks. He has trained in a few self-defense styles and has force-heightened agility and senses. He also has a somewhat unique ability to tell if someone is lying.
Equipment: His electro-staff type weapon called a Lightning Staff. Though he will only use it as self defense and to simply stun his opponents.
Personality: He is rather impatient, which makes some force techniques difficult to master. He is very good at understanding other's problems and sympathizing with them, this is why he is the face of the crew. (It is unclear whether or not this ability is force-related or not, though.) He is a not a very good leader but is good at keeping the group unified. His main goal in life is to help others and put them before him.
