A marvel exceeding great is this withal to my soul—
Men dwell on the water afar from the land, where deep seas roll.
Wretches are they, for they reap but a harvest of travail and pain,
Their eyes on the stars ever dwell, while their hearts abide in the main.
Often, I ween, to the Gods are their hands upraised on high,
And with hearts in misery heavenward-lifted in prayer do they cry.
(Longinus excerpt from Arimaspea)

Aristeas, a somewhat mythical personage in ancient Greece, said to have lived in the time of Cyrus and Croesus, or, according to some, ca. 690 B.C.
We are chiefly indebted to Herodotus (iv. 13-15) for our knowledge of him and his poem Arimaspeia. He belonged to a noble family of Proconnesus, an island colony from Miletus in the Propontis, and was supposed to be inspired by Apollo.
He travelled through the countries north and east of the Euxine, and visited the Hyperboreans, Issedonians and Arimaspians, who fought against the gold-guarding griffins. An important historical fact which seems to be indicated in his poem is the rush of barbarian hordes towards Europe under pressure from their neighbours. Twelve lines of the poem are preserved in Tzetzes and Longinus.
Wonderful stories are told of Aristeas. At Proconnesus, he fell dead in a shop; simultaneously a traveller declared he had spoken with him near Cyzicus; his body vanished; six years afterwards, he returned. Again disappearing, 240 years later he was at Metapontum, and commanded the inhabitants, to raise a statue to himself and an altar to Apollo, whom he had accompanied in the form of a raven, at the founding of the city.

Canadian Pacific's Nelson Station recently received a full restoration. The beautiful heritage building has been returned to it's former glory, thus trying to create an image from it's glory days. With that being said, in it's prime the surrounding area, and locomotives, looked a lot different...

As those who look in here often will already know, I derive great pleasure from attemting to repair old basket case photos. This one wasn't accomplished using AI but just determination that an image I took one evening in Port Talbot on cr@ppy film, could be better. OK its not fabulous now, but its infinitely better than I ever saw it when it came back from Truprint in my youth!
YWN 555J was a Willowbrook bodied AEC Reliance 505 (with semi-auto gearbox) that had been new to South Wales Transport in May of 1971. It would have been about ten years old when I photographed it here wearing NBC inspired local Afanway branding.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Latin: Sanctum Sepulchrum), also called the Church of the Resurrection (Greek: Ναός της Αναστάσεως, Naos tis Anastaseos; Arabic: كنيسة القيامة, Kanīsat al-Qiyāma; Armenian: Սուրբ Հարություն, Surp Harutyun) by Eastern Christians, is a Christian church within the walled Old City of Jerusalem.
The site is venerated by many Christians as Golgotha, (the Hill of Calvary), where the New Testament says that Jesus was crucified, and is said to also contain the place where Jesus was buried (the sepulchre). The church has been an important pilgrimage destination since at least the 4th century, as the purported site of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today it also serves as the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, while control of the building is shared between several Christian churches and secular entities in complicated arrangements essentially unchanged for centuries.
« La force de l'architecture est de durer au-delà de la vie de l'homme et donc de témoigner, de se situer au-delà des valeurs mondaines, au-delà de l'éphémère, au-delà de l'homme et de sa force. Là, réside précisément la force extraordinaire de l'architecture; c'est une des rares disciplines capable de s'adresser aux générations futures et donc de porter en elle un potentiel de résistance. »

This is a photo I thought I had lost when the ipod I had it stored on went kerplunk. But it has now been resurrected!

And composer of today's walk down memory lane, as I resurrect the first organ piece I ever learned by the longtime organist and master of choirs at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral:
Pastorale on "Forest Green" (O little town of Bethlehem) from "Seven Chorale Preludes", published in 1949 when I was only three years old.

Some of the recent macro work on here has had me looking back on my work, so thought I would bring this Hoverfly back up my account
A few friends and fans of Flickr toy photographer MiskatonicNick have developed an interest in reviving some of Nick's story characters. One of the current efforts underway is to bring back "Gavin" of the Royal Kadath Society. "Gavin" was originally embodied by an Integrity Dynamite Girls Back to Brooklyn "Gavin" fashion doll. As the original doll is long out of production and commands significant prices on the secondary market on the rare occasions when it appears, and because doll technology has changed over the last decade, a number of modern head sculpts are under consideration for Gavin 2.0.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Objections?
Link to Nick's original:

invisible, the only GOD, be honor and
glory for ever and ever Amen".

A huge fire that began Friday evening around 3 a.m. on December 17, 2010 completely gutted the historic Mormon Tabernacle in Provo, Utah. The fire burned until late Saturday afternoon, leaving the historic 1898 building a total ruin. It was decided to restore and repurpose the building to become a Temple instead of a Tabernacle.
Happy Window Wednesday!

The Southaven Gordmans had numerous little wooden boxes with curtsey sayings like these two! There was an impressive amount of home décor merchandise in that store actually. Too bad it's gone now :( Well, it's back (just like that!), but I don't know if the newly-resurrected Gordmans will have the sheer volume of home décor it had previously!

Blustons, Kentish Town England, until it closed last year (2015) was a rare example of an arcade shop and as such was afforded a Grade II listing. Unfortunately, it sat empty for a while but it has recently opened again and appears to be continuing in the 'smattah' (Yiddish for clothing) business - just like it had been since 1932. It is great to see this iconic shop in use again.
