Hard to relate the expanse of this place. This panorama comes closest to the sense of open space you get on that pass.

This was Mum, in her costume (the hair is a wig), taken in the hallway of my family home. Mum loved music, and despite her nerves, seemed to do a great job of commanding the stage with comical performances. Very proud of her.

March 19, 2014. Boston, MA.
Kick Butts Day 2014. Representatives from the Department of Public Health (DPH) today joined more than 250 young people from across the Commonwealth at the State House for the national observance of Kick Butts Day, recognizing the contributions of teenagers in smoking cessation and prevention efforts.
The young people participating in today’s event are part of DPH’s youth movement, The 84, which represents the 84 percent of young people in Massachusetts who don’t smoke.
High school students involved in The 84 have been educating their communities and their local lawmakers about issues relating to tobacco and, working with local health boards and other programs; have promoted effective tobacco prevention strategies in their communities. Members of The 84 Movement have been vital in fighting the way tobacco industry markets its products to youth.

Legend relates that two Irish Princes washed ashore during a storm, fell in love with two of the seven daughters of the King of Kintail. Having promised to send their five brothers for the remaining sisters, the Princes married the two youngest Princesses and returned to Ireland. The five sisters waited in vain, and eventually asked the Grey Magician of Coire Dhunnaid to extend their vigil beyond life itself, whereupon he turned them into mountains.

This concentration photo relates to the current pandemic we are in. This photo shows the extreme and preventative measures we do to stay safe. Many feel as if they are invincible to the virus which causes numbers of infections to rapidly grow. I had my model wear a glove and sanitize his other hand showing that even though he wore gloves he still needs to sanitize. I also had him wear a mask in context to COVID-19. I edited this photo to have a greenish tint giving off the feeling of sickness and a dark eerie tone.
Symbolism of Karlskirche Doris Binder
The Karlskirche consists of a central rotunda with a dome, a put in front column construction in the form of a Greek temple, two high provided with pictures columns modeled on Trajan's Column in Rome and of two lateral gate pavilions. The provided with pictures columns represent Charles VI as wise and strong secular ruler, the two great pillars were created by Marder and Matielli. The columns are topped by golden eagles, symbolizing the two virtues of the Emperor - Fortitudo (valor) and Constantia (resistance). The two columns remind the two pillars before the temple in Jerusalem - Jakin and Boaz. However, the imaging of the two columns does not match the model of columns of Trajan in Rome, these ones telling acts of war, but relate the life story of St Borromeo. In the front of the Charles' church facing the open square the different symbols of history are interrelated: the Roman emperors Trajan and Augustus, the Temple of Solomon, St. Peter's in Rome, the Hagia Sophia, Charlemagne and the Empire of Charles V, by the skillfully used symbolism, the claim of the Habsburg to European dominance should be represented.
The plan of the church is, as in the Baroque typical, in the form of an ellipse. Once inside the Charles' church you immediately notice the great Baroque sculpture representing St Borromeo. At the base the four Latin Church Fathers are depicted. The interior of the Karlskirche is dominated by the powerful fresco in the oval dome space, created it was by the famous Baroque painter Johann Michael Rottmayr between 1725-1730. The fresco shows the Mother of God who represents the intercession of the Church Saint to avert the plague, surrounded the scene is of the cardinal virtues (faith, hope and love). In the left wing entrance there is the tomb for the Austrian poet Heinrich Joseph von Collin (17771-1811).
Inside the St. Charles Church there is a museum where the most valuable pieces are exhibited.
These include: the robes of St. Borromeo, a reliquary of gold and silver - a donation of Emperor Charles VI and a Rococo monstrance (1760) which contains a drop of blood of the saint. Thomas Aquinas.
The image of the architect, Fischer von Erlach, painted by Jakob of Schuppen, too is one of the church treasures.
The iconographic program of Karlskirche was written by Carl Gustav Haerus, by this the Saint Charles Borromeo should be connected to the imperial Founder.
Symbolik der Karlskirche Doris Binder
Die Karlskirche besteht aus einem zentralen Rundbau mit Kuppel, einem vorgestellten Säulenbau in griechischer Tempelform, zwei hohen bebilderten Säulen nach dem Vorbild der Trajanssäule in Rom und aus zwei seitlichen Tor Pavillions. Die bebilderten Säulen stellen Karl VI. als weisen und starken weltlichen Herrscher dar, die beiden großen Säulen wurden von Marder und Matielli geschaffen. Die Säulen sind durch goldene Adler gekrönt, welche die zwei Tugenden des Kaisers symbolisieren – fortitudo (Tapferkeit) und constantia (Beständigkeit). Die beiden Säulen erinnern an die beiden Säulen vor dem Tempel in Jerusalem – Jakin und Boas. Die Bebilderung der beiden Säulen entspricht jedoch nicht dem Vorbild der Trajanssäulen in Rom, welche Kriegstaten schilderten, sondern diese erzählen die Lebensgeschichte des Hl. Borromäus. In der Schaufront der Karlskirche verbinden sich die unterschiedlichsten Symbole der Geschichte zu einer Einheit – die römischen Kaiser Trajan und Augustus, den salomonischen Tempel, die Peterskirche in Rom, die Hagia Sophia, Karl den Großen und das Reich Karls V. – durch die gekonnt eingesetzte Symbolik sollte der Anspruch des Hauses Habsburg auf die europäische Vorherrschaft dargestellt werden.
Der Grundriss der Kirche ist, wie im Barock typisch, Elipsenförmig. Im Innenraum der Karlskirche fällt sofort die große Barockskulptur auf, welche den Hl. Borromäus darstellt. Am Sockel sind die vier lateinischen Kirchenväter abgebildet. Das Innere der Karlskirche wird durch das mächtige Fresko im ovalen Kuppelraum geprägt, geschaffen wurde es von dem bedeutenden Barockmaler Johann Michael Rottmayr zwischen 1725-1730. Das Fresko zeigt die Muttergottes, welche die Fürbitte des Kirchenheiligen um Abwendung der Pest darstellt, umgeben ist die Szene von den Kardinaltugenden (Glaube, Liebe und Hoffnung). Im linken Eingangsflügel befindet sich das Grabmal für den österreichischen Dichter Heinrich Joseph von Collin (17771-1811).
Im Inneren der Karlskirche gibt es ein Museum, in dem die wertvollsten Stücke ausgestellt werden.
Zu diesen zählen: die Gewänder des Hl. Borromäus, ein Reliquiar aus Gold und Silber – eine Stiftung Kaiser Karls VI. und eine Rokoko-Monstranz (ca. 1760), welche einen Blutstropfen des Heiligen enthält. Thomas von Aquin.
Auch das Abbild des Baumeisters, Fischer von Erlach, gemalt von Jakob von Schuppen zählt zu den Kirchenschätzen.
Das ikonographische Programm der Karlskirche wurde von Carl Gustav Haerus verfasst, durch dieses sollte der Heilige Karl Borromäus mit dem kaiserlichen Stifter verbunden werden.

Postcard
The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).
