Abbey of the Dormition is an abbey and the name of a Benedictine community in Jerusalem on Mt. Zion just outside the walls of the Old City near the Zion Gate.
Between 1998 and 2006 the community was known as the Abbey of Hagia Maria Sion, in reference to the Basilica of Hagia Sion that stood on this spot during the Byzantine period, but it resumed the original name during the 2006 celebrations of the monastery's centenary. Hagia Maria Sion is now the name of the foundation supporting the abbey's buildings, community and academic work.
One of several lifers for me from our recent trip! This yellow-bellied sapsucker was a feisty little guy - a larger red-bellied woodpecker was attempting to work this same palm tree trunk, but the sapsucker was having none of it. Its foe vanquished, it resumed looking for tasty morsels. It's interesting how they bore holes in fairly straight lines.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

The early Otago gold rushes had been alluvial but most late 19th-century mining there, in Westland and at Thames was in quartz country, which required expensive machinery. The Martha Hill Mine (named after prospector William Nicholl’s sister) at Waihī had produced more gold than any other in New Zealand history - 224,000 g of gold and 1,680,000 g of silver - by the time it closed in 1952. The most famous - or infamous, depending on your politics - mine owner was the London-owned Waihi Gold Mining Company. This firm swallowed up many of its rivals and enthusiastically adopted modern technology (such as cyanide extraction) in its struggle to make a profit from the low-grade ores it mined. In the early 1900s its cost-cutting put it on a collision course with its workers when it halved production and then provoked a traumatic strike. Abetted by thuggish Commissioner of Police John Cullen, the Waihi GMC’s actions led to riots and beatings. On ‘Black Tuesday’, 12 November 1912, strikebreakers murdered unionist Frederick George Evans, who future Labour Party leader Harry Holland made a martyr in the bestseller The tragic story of the Waihi strike.
Waihī remains an active mining centre (opencast mining resumed in 1988). You can still see many relics from the earlier period in and around the township. The most impressive are the 14-m-high concrete cyanide agitation tanks on the Union battery site (1895) and the ruined No. 5 ‘Cornish’ Pumphouse (1904). Its massive horizontal beam pump once removed water from shafts almost 650 m deep.
With mining continuing, in 2006 the 1840-tonne No. 5 Pumphouse was relocated 300 m, a major engineering feat.
A view of NZ South Island beauty from a suspension bridge overlooking the Hokitika River. I wish the light had been better, but you accept what you are given.
Back in the rainy Pacific Northwest now and will soon resume regular programming :-).
The construction of the cathedral began in 1107, but the works were damaged and halted after an earthquake in 1117. Construction resumed in 1129, and the building was probably finished in 1160-1170. The main altar, dedicated to the city's patron saints Archelaus and Himerius, was consecrated in 1196.
The current façade was probably built in the 13th and the early 14th century. In the same period the arms of the transept were also added: the northern in 1288 and the southern in 1348.
For the third time that week, AMTK 108 is leading a requalification run for the Adirondack, which has still not resumed service after covid disruptions (news articles are mentioning a resumption of service in the spring). Here it is backing up towards Central Station, with the right of way for the REM light rail line above at left.
Dal parco Virgiliano di Napoli si può godere uno dei più belli panorami della città. Questo riprende il Vesuvio con la città e il mare immersi nella nebbia.
From the park Virgiliano in Naples you can enjoy one of the best views of the city. This resumes the Vesuvius with the city and the sea in the fog
Former CN GP9RM 7063, still wearing its Port Manatee colors, rolls through Lockhart, FL on their way to a siding just south of Apopka.
After passing here, they would switch a scrap facility at the beginning of the Ocoee branch and call it quits for the day. The Apopka/Winter Garden job would resume the next day (Thursday) and drop off and pick up cars before returning to Modelo with outbound traffic for CSX at Taft.
The sight and sound of steam makes a welcome return to the summertime greenery of the Irwell Valley, on the East Lancashire Railway...

In an unusual (for me at least) break from posting images of people, and despite generally not liking images of cloud formations without some landscape context behind them, I couldn't resist capturing this formation of cirrus clouds that passed overhead. Resembling a flame I processed in black and white to lift out some of the finer details that you just couldn't see with a deep blue sky surrounding the cloud. Something a little different to enjoy, normal service will be resumed in the morning!
Enjoy the beautiful details of nature by pressing 'L'.
A certain cat has been using the paving slabs to cool down. She was a bit under the weather last week but has now recovered and full service has resumed. I liked this shot because it looks like she has her arms folded in defiance, but she's actually just relaxing in the shade.
Located in the heart of historic Virginia City, First Presbyterian Church was established in 1862. The Carpenter Gothic style church building was built in 1866 at the cost of $4,700. Later, buildings on either side of the church were purchased to provide a meeting room, pastor's apartment and a rental space. The total cost was $12,000.
In 1871 a massive fire destroyed most of Virginia City. As the only public building not destroyed by the fire, First Presbyterian Church was immediately pressed into service as a soup kitchen, makeshift hospital and District Court Room.
Mine closings in the 1890's and a resulting population shift in Virginia City caused a decline in church membership. The church managed to keep going until 1947 when it was closed. The building languished until 1954 when it narrowly escaped demolition. A campaign was begun to restore the building. Regular worship services resumed in 1959.

While in the midst of this “wait a little longer” I am going to hush my incessantly worrying mind and harness opportunity. There is a “resume” button on the horizon. So here we go.
Time to press “resume” and move forward into this year with expectancy. Step into the future.
Do you need to recommence?

Part of my holidays have been spent in lovely Strasbourg.
I stayed at a friend that was generous to lend me his flat.
After the long day dedicated to traveling, knowing the house, getting something to eat I finally got sleeping.
Only the necessary time of sleep to make your brain enter pause mode and I wake with the true feeling someone was chainsawing the entire building... I had no escape in two or three floors my time would come. Time enough for my brain recover from hibernation and I could walk to window. The big chainsaw, actually bigger than the trams in Strasbourg, was doing rail polish. The road was long and it was so slow the workers had to stop walking and wait for it. Believe it or not the transformer resumed its business the next day only a 100 meters away.

Having met 113, an empty K+S potash train now throttles up as it resumes it's journey eastward back to the Saskatchewan potash mine.
After recrewing a quad of fresh Candian Pacific et44acs lead 181 through Nahant yard. Local railfan Jeff Toff gets some video of the train as they pass the south end of the yard.
Some of my little Meg lambs ( “cade” bottle fed ) it’s been a cold wet spring so I’m glad to also have a knitting hobby. Secondlife activity will resume very soon as the last ewes lamb.

I recently watched a great blue heron patiently fishing in the Missouri River bottoms and, more often than not, the rapid plunge resulted in a fish. This one would hold the meal for a moment or two in its beak before flipping it up and getting the fish aligned more favorably for swallowing (I wonder how many fish they lose while performing this little feat?). Each fish was followed by a drink of water to wash it down, then the hunt would resume. (9-22-2024)
Hello everyone. Normal service is resumed from today, at least after I spent pretty much all morning catching up on as many peoples' photos as possible, as well as having a few messages to send. I'm still not feeling great but I'm over the phase where I felt properly unwell.
I love the idea of wearing a dress like ths for a Valentines' date, though I'm sure some of you will have your own dress preferences. Thank you to everyone who has commented over the years about how attractive they find me and would want to date me. Obviously I'm taken now but it's nice to be so admired as an attractive woman.
