"The Gößweinstein Basilica is a minor basilica in the municipality of Gößweinstein. The basilica is the second largest pilgrimage site in the Archdiocese of Bamberg and at the same time the largest Trinity pilgrimage site in Germany. Every year around 140 permanent pilgrimage groups make a pilgrimage to Gößweinstein. Gößweinstein is considered the spiritual and ecclesiastical center of Franconian Switzerland.
In 1071 there was said to have been a chapel on the site of the basilica. In 1240, Konrad I of Schluesselberg and his wife Kunigunde converted the chapel into a spacious church that was consecrated in honor of the Most Holy Trinity. The earliest mention of a church in Gozwinstein is in 1308 in the will of Gottfried von Schlüsselberg. The Schlüsselberger family is seen as the founders of the first church; She also founded the Cistercian monastery in Schlüsselau, which is also dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
In 1461 Gößweinstein became independent. Previously it was incorporated into the Archdeaconry of Hollfeld. Support from noble families can be seen early on, such as those from Groß zu Trockau. The first indulgences were granted to the church in 1511. At that time, the days marked with indulgences did not yet include what later became the main pilgrimage day of Trinity, the Sunday after Pentecost.
The medieval church was soon no longer able to cope with the onslaught of pilgrims. It was expanded by around three meters in 1593 and 1594; this extension was not sufficient. “There seemed to have been such a crowd in the church that in around 1624 it was reported that the pilgrims had knocked over the baptismal font, and in 1719 that the clergy had backed away from the mass of believers when distributing communion 'because of the narrowness of the altars'" To counteract the lack of space, the Lady Chapel was built in 1630, next to it an open wooden chapel. Confessionals and a sermon chair also had to be set up outdoors.
A new building seemed urgently necessary; In 1683, hopeful signals came from the Bamberg bishop, which suggested that this could begin shortly. In the same year, Margaretha Gerstackerin from Allersdorf donated “20 fl. for the building of the church”. Construction began after long negotiations; The foundation stone was laid on June 3, 1730. In the previous decades, the Gößweinstein pastors had repeatedly asked Bamberg for permission to begin construction. It was thanks in particular to Pastor Dippold's persistence that construction was not delayed any further. In a letter, Dippold asked the building-loving Bamberg Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn, “in addition to his splendid secular buildings, the prince should also build a magnificent temple in honor of St. "Build the Trinity." There were plans from various builders, including one from the court architect Leonhard Dientzenhofer from 1715, which envisaged a central domed building with three towers and nine chapels, based on the Trinity patronage. This plan was rejected by the authorities as too expensive.
After the death of Lothar Franz von Schönborn in 1729 and the election of his nephew Friedrich Carl von Schönborn, the commission was given to the famous Balthasar Neumann (1687–1753), whose plan was also carried out. At first work was carried out under his direction, later under the direction of Johann Jakob Michael Küchenl, who had been Neumann's employee in the prince-bishop's building office in the Bishopric of Bamberg since 1735. At the consecration of the church in 1739, which took place in the presence of the prince-bishop, the construction was far from finished. Even the high altar and pulpit were not yet finished, the other altars had not even been started.
The work on the furnishings lasted until after 1769 (this year the construction protocols from Pastor Adam Peter Vogl end). The devastating fire of 1746, which severely damaged the church, the rectory, the Kirchnerhaus, the schoolhouse and around 60 town houses, was a bitter setback - both in terms of time and finances. Because of the necessary repairs, the church equipment had to be put on hold. Repairing the fire damage cost the Gößweinstein parish around 12,000 guilders (fl.) - not including the parish, church building and school building. The construction costs before the fire amounted to over 70,300 fl. Financing posed a major problem for the church, which had previously had a large fortune. Pastor Vogl complained in 1748 that the church “did not manage to generate 30 fl in cash at the time, and I find that to be bad “Build where there is no money.”
Gößweinstein is a municipality in the district of Forchheim in Bavaria in Germany. It lies within the region known as Franconian Switzerland.
The first record of Goswinesteyn Castle is from 1076. Prior to 1102 the Hochstift Bamberg became the owner of the castle. The prince-bishop of Bamberg Friedrich Carl von Schönborn (ruled from 1729 until 1746) elevated Gößweinstein's status to a Market. During the Secularization in 1803, the area of the Hochstift Bamberg was transferred to Bavaria. During the Bavarian territorial reforms in 1978, the formerly independent communities of Morschreuth, Wichsenstein, Behringersmühle, Kleingesee, Leutzdorf, Stadelhofen, Unterailsfeld and part of the community Tüchersfeld were integrated into Gößweinstein.
Upper Franconia (German: Oberfranken) is a Regierungsbezirk (administrative [Regierungs] region [bezirk]) of the state of Bavaria, southern Germany. It forms part of the historically significant region of Franconia, the others being Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia, which are all now part of the German Federal State of Bayern (Bavaria).
With more than 200 independent breweries which brew approximately 1000 different types of beer, Upper Franconia has the world's highest brewery-density per capita. A special Franconian beer route (Fränkische Brauereistraße) runs through many popular breweries.
The administrative region borders on Thuringia (Thüringen) to the north, Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) to the west, Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken) to the south-west, and Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) to the south-east, Saxony (Sachsen) to the north-east and the Czech Republic to the east.
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganized and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke (singular Regierungsbezirk)), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Mainkreis (Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Mainkreis changed to Upper Franconia.
Next to the former episcopal residence city of Bamberg, the capital Bayreuth, the former residence city of Coburg and the classicist centre of Hof, as well as the towns of Lichtenfels, Kronach, Gößweinstein and Kulmbach, the Weißenstein Palace, Banz Abbey and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, the scenic attractions of the River Main and the low mountain ranges of the Fichtel Mountains with the town of Wunsiedel and the Franconian Forest belong among the region's major tourist attractions. There are also numerous spas like Bad Rodach, Bad Steben, Bad Staffelstein, Bad Berneck and Bad Alexandersbad." - info from Wikipedia.

This was my first major session using the new Sony A7RIII and in my opinion it is much better than the A7RII but that is not to say that the older model is not an excellent camera. The A7RII is still an excellent choice especially as it is now available at greatly reduced prices. Whichever you buy make sure to spend on the glass rather than the body.
Yesterday was the most beautiful day here in Ohio. It was sunny and warm (well 40 degrees which is warm this time of year). The morning was frosty, with temps down in the teens. All the sap that was flowing the day before had stopped and was frozen in the spiles. It didn’t take long for them to thaw out with the sun and warmth and start flowing again. These are prime sugaring temps; you want it to be above freezing during the day and below freezing at night. The rest of this week and next week look like it’s going to be beautiful, especially for sugaring.

Since Earth Day I've decided to be a little "greener." I always take my plastic bags back to Walmart to recycle, but today I bought 4 reusuable bags and will buy more the next time. I really hate the plastic bags.... especially when they just put a few things in each and you come home with tons of bags. My 4 new bags were stuffed full today and it felt so good!
Up to a quarter of girls in Sub-Saharan Africa drop out of school due to unintended pregnancies. The longer children stay in school the higher their lifetime earnings will be, enabling them to lift themselves out of poverty. The benefits pass to the next generation, as mothers who have had an education are more than twice as likely to send their own children to school than mothers with no education.

In 1968 Britains started to change to PVC plastic and PVC paints for their figures. Also from 1969 they decided to reduce their Farm animal range and start introducing new mouldings.
In 1971 Britains introduced ten new Farm animal mouldings. Four of these were pigs. These are the first four from the left:
Piglet standing, sow, Saddleback boar and piglet feeding.
Both the sow and boar were available in pink and Saddleback versions. They were all withdrawn in 1992. The piglets from 1971 to 1992 may have been available in black as well as pink.
The piglets were re-introduced in 1995 to replace their replacements! From 1995 they were definitely available in black as well as pink. The two pink piglets on the right are made in a translucent type plastic.
The Old Spot sow was introduced in 1992 and originally made in China.
The piglets above have: "Britains Eng" on their bellies. The pink sow has: "Britains Ltd England 1971 (C)" on her belly. The Saddleback boar has: "Britains Ltd 1971 (C) England" on his belly.
All the 1971 mouldings are currently available.
