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.
As with everyone, Covid has made people put there lives on hold. This is one of my son’s who has been locked down in London for months. To see him run down the beach and run into the sea was quite emotional. I have the feeling that the new normal has arrived. Childhood can be resumed under a new set of rules.
Take care out there.
All the best......
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 legendary King Arthur has a direct association with the Castle Rocks of St John, courtesy of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem of 1813, Bridal of Triermain. The poem tells the story of a young knight named Roland de Vaux who falls in love with a mysterious woman named Gyneth, who is revealed to be a fairy queen. The story takes place in the scenic Vale of St. John, near the town of Triermain. Gwyneth resides in the castle there (Castle Rock).
Synopsis of the poem:
The Bridal of Triermain interweaves three stories, all with a Lake District setting: the eighteenth-century courtship of Arthur and Lucy, the Arthurian Legend of 'Lyulph's Tale', and the twelfth-century romance of Sir Roland de Vaux.
In order to warn his aristocratic lover Lucy against excessive maidenly pride, the low-born poet Arthur recites 'Lyulph's Tale' in cantos I-II. He tells how how King Arthur is seduced by the enchantress Guendolen. When he abandons the pregnant Guendolen to resume his kingly duties, she swears revenge. Sixteen years later, the fruit of their union, Gyneth appears at Camelot to remind Arthur of his promise that should he and Guendolen produce a daughter, she would wed the bravest of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur declares a tournament with Gyneth's hand as the prize but instructs her to halt the combat before lives are lost. As the instrument of her mother's wrath, however, she does nothing to end the ferocious fighting, until Merlin arises from a chasm in the ground to punish her. She is sentenced to slumber in Guendolen's enchanted castle until awakened by a knight as brave as any of the Round Table.
The poet Arthur's courtship of Lucy proves successful and, following their marriage, Lucy begs him to tell of Gyneth's fate. In the third and final canto, then, he recounts the quest of the twelfth-century knight Sir Roland de Vaux of Triermain. He has heard Gyneth's legend and sets out to find the enchanted castle. Having located it in the Valley of Saint John, he successfully passes through a series of allegorical dangers and temptations (Fear, Avarice, Sensuality, Ambition) to awaken Gyneth from her five hundred-year sleep and win her hand.

With the line to Caerphilly closed for a weekend possession, an engineering train, its services no longer required, leaves the branch and approaches Cardiff Queen Street en-route back to base.
The working is the 9.00am Cardiff Queen Street - Westbury Down (6A04), in the hands of Freightliner 'Sheds' 66621 and 66592 (tailing). Three other engineering trains remained on the branch, with the possession eventually lifted in time for Monday morning passenger services to resume.
I'd spotted this one on the virtual signal diagram and kept a close eye on it through breakfast for a possible early departure. Thankfully it ran close to schedule so no need to choke on the eggs and bacon and, even better, the clouds played ball too. A nice start to the day given how rare loco-hauled services are just here these days. Best viewed large.

We have visited this country pub, restaurant and garden many times over the years but sadly not for the last 12 months because of coronavirus restrictions.
However, we recently went for a walk and noticed the man on the right busily refurbishing the outside tables. I assume they are preparing to reopen as lockdown restrictions are starting to ease.
A check on their website reveals that, if all goes well, outside dining only will resume on 28 April. The only other factor which cannot be anticipated is the British weather, unpredictable at the best of times!
Early morning, as dawn arrives, we set off to hike to Wild Wadi. Along a path then down a slope, cross a bridge, and climb a hill, turn left, through a gap in crag, path then takes us up to Giants ridge.
Long gentle climb, round a corner, and we are now on side of ridge. The path levels out, then slopes down, to only climb once more; steeper now we carry on, soon another ridge comes into view.
Gradient is gentler, our walk is easier, up slight hill, then down another, a sharp climb, and we scramble up upon the ridge. Our feet and limbs ache so stop for rest.
We look up and take in, the splendour of the Jumeira Beach Hotel Aged by years of wind, and rain, and snow; steep weathered walls of stone fashioned so like a Giants Castle in the sky.
Looking down, we gasp, because its like we’re in an aeroplane so high we are above the valley streams, and smaller hills, path below laid out, a map for us to see our climb.
Our pain is now forgotten in admiration for the beauty of our mountain walk. Rested we resume our climb, white wispy clouds appear, that promise rain will come this afternoon.
Taken By : Meeeeeeeee =D
Place : Wild Wadi
We had So much Fun GuYs .. Hope we can do it again ^_^ Summer time...
off the blackwater river. A brief respite this morning from the incessant rain and wind of late. Didn’t last for long though, before the downpours resumed for the rest of the day!

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'.
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?

A Moravian star (German: Herrnhuter Stern) is an illuminated decoration used during the Christian liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany representing the Star of Bethlehem pointing towards the infant Jesus.
The Moravian star is popular in places where there are Moravian Christian congregations world wide The stars take their English name from the Moravian Church, originating in Moravia. In Germany, they are known as Herrnhut stars, named after the Moravian Mother Community in Saxony, Germany, where they were first commercially produced. With the rise of ecumenism, the use the Moravian star has spread beyond the Moravian Church to other Christian denominations, such as the Lutheran Church and Catholic Church, as well as the Methodist Church.
History. The first Moravian star is known to have originated in the 1830s at the Moravian Boys' School in Niesky, Germany, as a geometry lesson or project. The first mention is of a 110-point star for the 50th anniversary of the Paedagogium (classical school for boys) in Niesky. Around 1880, Peter Verbeek, an alumnus of the school, began making the stars and their instructions available for sale through his bookstore. His son Harry went on to found the Herrnhut Star Factory, which was the main source of stars until World War I. Although heavily damaged at the end of World War II, the Star Factory resumed manufacturing them. Briefly taken over by the government of East Germany in the 1950s, the factory was returned to the Moravian Church-owned Abraham Dürninger Company, which continues to make the stars in Herrnhut. Other star-making companies and groups have sprung up since then. Some Moravian congregations have congregation members who build and sell the stars as fund raisers.
The National Express drivers’ strike in 2023 brought disruption to the region for six consecutive days - between the 20-25th - as drivers fought for increased pay. Services resumed on Sunday 26th March, following the acceptance of a new offer.
A little late, but it was just too cute not to share...
He was finally neutered; we had waited for him to be healthy enough and then hoped in-person visits would resume in the city since he's so skittish with strangers. That didn't happen, but we found a good vet and went ahead. Everything went fine thank dog! He's been a bit of a drama queen for a few days although he was healing fine, he is finally back to being himself :).
We're leaving next week for a short trip to Arizona and he's coming hiking with us!

Many people ask me advice about their portfolio and CV and I always tell them to be creative to stand out of the crowd. This doesn't apply to all kind of jobs, but when you're talking about creative jobs, there are simply no rules on how to present yourself.
Don't mention the name of your kindergarden school, don't mention you've been working at McDonalds during summer break. Believe me, nobody cares. And if your future employer does care, then he'll select you on the wrong criteria. You don't want to work for such a company.
So get creative and make something awesome from your portfolio. Take the above portfolio as an example. Michael doesn't show any of its works and still he succeeds in showing off his talent. Not only he can create great graphics, he also proves to be able to turn 'boring' facts and figures into something exciting. Well done Michael!

Oh yeah, and also check out my portfolio:
After waiting for the Cami job to go down the connecting track, the Woodstock resumes it's journey back to Cami.
I have received a few requests asking if I could post a view of me from behind, I hope this will do. Loving the feel of leather against my smooth nylon clad leg's.
A full frontal Gemma service will resume soon. Thanks to everyone who give me the encouragement to continue my feminine pursuit's. xxx.
Colonia Hogar Ricardo Gutierrez
En Historias de Irregularidades y abandono, la autora Diana Rossi hace referencia a cómo surgió la modalidad de las Colonias como lugar para chicos judicializados. Con la ley 10.903, por primera vez se incorporaba el concepto de “protección integral del menor”. En su momento, el entonces senador J.A. Roca, único que interviniera en la sesión de la Cámara de Senadores que trató la ley, resaltaba el objeto perseguido por el Proyecto Agote (luego ley 10.903): “corregir los males que dimanan de la infancia, y de la infancia criminal, en todo el territorio de la Nación y, especialmente, en el de la Capital Federal.” Algunos hechos puntuales –la huelga de inquilinos de 1907 y los sucesos de 1919 en la fábrica de Pedro Vasena– favorecieron el tratamiento y aprobación de su proyecto legislativo. Por aquella época, los defensores de menores estaban encargados del destino de los niños y niñas calificados de vagos o delincuentes. La cárcel compartida con los adultos era el derrotero habitual, hasta que se les encontraba colocación en alguna familia. “En 1897 fueron colocadas por órdenes judiciales 767 jóvenes mujeres junto a criminales considerados culpables”, detalla la autora.
Las colonias-escuelas y las colonias-reformatorios ubicadas cerca de las ciudades o en pleno campo serán el tipo preferido de estas casas de prevención y reforma de los menores.
La colonia Marcos Paz, que devendrá a posteriori instituto “Gutiérrez”, resume en sus características las del modelo previsto en la legislación. Si bien ya existían los institutos correccionales cuando se creó en 1904, se adoptó para él el modelo de colonia agrícola tan difundido durante el siglo anterior en Estados Unidos.
El predio en el que se situó la Colonia había pertenecido al general Francisco Bosch, cuya viuda, Laura Sáenz Valiente, vendió al ministerio de Menores. El decreto que aprueba la compra en noviembre de 1903 dispone en su art. 1º: “que la propiedad de que se trata reúne las condiciones necesarias para implantar en ella un instituto destinado a la instrucción práctica de la ganadería, agricultura y de la industria, en el cual puedan instruirse los menores que por falta de padre y de hogar o por sus malas inclinaciones necesitan de la protección del Gobierno o de una dirección especial que les inculque hábitos de trabajo y corrija su deficiencia…”

In Histories of Irregularities and abandonment, the author Diana Rossi makes reference to how the modality of the Colonies arose as a place for judicialized children. With Law 10,903, the concept of "integral protection of the minor" was incorporated for the first time. At the time, the then senator J.A. Roca, the only one to intervene in the session of the Senate that dealt with the law, highlighted the object pursued by the Agote Project (later law 10,903): "correct the evils that arise from childhood, and from criminal childhood, in all the territory of the Nation and, especially, that of the Federal Capital. "Some specific events - the strike of tenants of 1907 and the events of 1919 in the factory of Pedro Vasena - favored the treatment and approval of their legislative project. At that time, the defenders of minors were in charge of the destiny of the boys and girls described as lazy or delinquent. The jail shared with the adults was the usual course, until they were placed in a family. "In 1897, 767 young women were placed by judicial orders together with criminals considered guilty," says the author.
The colonies-schools and the colonies-reformatories located near the cities or in the countryside will be the preferred type of these houses of prevention and reform of minors.
The Marcos Paz colony, which will become a posteriori "Gutiérrez" institute, summarizes in its characteristics those of the model foreseen in the legislation. Although the correctional institutes already existed when it was created in 1904, the model of agricultural colony so widespread during the previous century in the United States was adopted for him.
The estate in which the Colony was located belonged to General Francisco Bosch, whose widow, Laura Saenz Valiente, sold to the Ministry of Minors. The decree approving the purchase in November 1903 provides in its art. 1º: "that the property in question meets the necessary conditions to establish in it an institute for the practical instruction of livestock, agriculture and industry, in which minors can be instructed because of lack of father and home or because of their bad inclinations they need the protection of the Government or of a special direction that inculcates work habits and corrects their deficiency ... "
The Basílica de la Sagrada Família (Catalan: [bəˈzilikə ðə lə səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmiljə]; Spanish: Basílica de la Sagrada Familia; ('Basilica of the Holy Family')), also known as the Sagrada Família, is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.
On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.
Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years work to piece together the fragments of the master model. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer aided design and computerised numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010. However, some of the project's greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolising an important Biblical figure in the New Testament. It is anticipated that the building can be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
The basilica has a long history of splitting opinion among the residents of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself, over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design, and the 2007 proposal to build a tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability. Describing the Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art",[13] and Paul Goldberger describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages".[14] The basilica is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, as that title belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia.
