12 / 52 - Clouds. I've got a thing for signs and I would love to have this beauty hanging on my wall.
“Because salvation is by grace through faith, I believe that among the countless number of people standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands (see Revelation 7:9), I shall see the prostitute from the Kit-Kat Ranch in Carson City, Nevada, who tearfully told me that she could find no other employment to support her two-year-old son. I shall see the woman who had an abortion and is haunted by guilt and remorse but did the best she could faced with grueling alternatives; the businessman besieged with debt who sold his integrity in a series of desperate transactions; the insecure clergyman addicted to being liked, who never challenged his people from the pulpit and longed for unconditional love; the sexually abused teen molested by his father and now selling his body on the street, who, as he falls asleep each night after his last 'trick', whispers the name of the unknown God he learned about in Sunday school.
'But how?' we ask.
Then the voice says, 'They have washed their robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'
There they are. There *we* are - the multitude who so wanted to be faithful, who at times got defeated, soiled by life, and bested by trials, wearing the bloodied garments of life's tribulations, but through it all clung to faith.
My friends, if this is not good news to you, you have never understood the gospel of grace.”

Colossians 2:13-14 -- " When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross."
(Luke 9:23, 1 Corinthians 1:17-18, Galatians 6:14, Philippians 2:8....)
Hebrews 12:2 -- "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Space exploration always exerted a huge attraction on human mind.
It’s something that goes beyond the fascination for the unknown. It makes our imagination and creativity to flourish. It expands our knowledge and in the end it spurs us to cooperate for a greater purpose.
It represents the very essence of progress.
It’s no wonder Science Fiction has become a very popular genre for it merges all of this with our never-ending hunger for stories.
Isaac Asimov once said:
“Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today — but the core of science fiction, its essence, the concept around which it revolves, has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.”
This is image is my tribute to both space exploration and science fiction, a tribute to the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 planets and Mass Effect, one of my favorite video game series.

If someone at NASA is reading this: Thank You :)
The image is an artistic interpretation of the surfaces of one of those recently discovered planets.
The character is Mass Effect Garrus Vakarian Funko Pop figure. I had to work in order to make the lighting of the figure compatible with the background image’s lights then I merged the two images into the final one :)

This little church has seen better days, boarded up and propped up I don't think it's seen a congregation in a quite some time.
For the non soft version view in lightbox...This one appears very soft again, but isn't!Will flickr ever sort this out?
I was being flown southbound along the Northern Beaches towards Sydney in a DHC-2 floatplane when I took this shot. It looks across part of the suburb of Collaroy and out to the Tasman Sea past the Long Reef Golf Club on the peninsula in the distance.
This area was originally part of Narrabeen but was renamed after the SS Collaroy ran aground on the beach in 1881. The ship was refloated and wrecked on the Californian coast in 1889. Most of Collaroy’s development has occurred since the mid-20th century. It has a population of some 8,000.
The two roads roughly parallelling each other towards the upper right of the image are Norfolk Avenue (to the left, north) and Lincoln Avenue (to the right, south). The major road crossing the image just below the golf course is the main north-south artery for the Northern Beaches - at this point it is called the Pittwater Road.
The Long Reef course apparently provides a challenge to golfers of all standards, and the spectacular cliff-top promontory location offers a cool breeze on even the hottest summer day. It is just 20 km north of Sydney's central business district and boasts unsurpassed views all the way to the Central Coast in the north and Manly in the south. Five-times winner of The Open Peter Thomson, designer of new holes at Long Reef, described it as "The best site of any golf course in Sydney".
In the 19th century, the headland was used for light farming and was owned by the Salvation Army until 1912 when it became Crown Land administered by Warringah Shire Council. For some years it was a popular camping ground.
The golf club was started in 1921 as a nine-hole layout. Because the lower part of the headland was swamp the golf holes were confined to the upper ground. By today’s standards it was all a bit primitive. Grazing cattle(!) constituted an early hazard and wire fences had to be erected around the greens. The swamp was drained and filled in the late 1920s and extended to a full 18 holes in 1931.
Below you can see a view I took of the golf course earlier that afternoon on my way north...
A good cup of tea and a book can see you through most things in life. With an open window, bird song's the icing on the cake.
The Salvation is equipped with two small rescue barges which can go into much tighter spaces and fit almost any airlock. Each one can carry up to 40 people. The ship also has two salvage skiffs. These are equipped with grapples, cutting equipment, air-hoses and a range of other measures to access docking ports, temporarily repair ships or cut-away obstructions to allow rescue.
