our delicate world, and at the end of the day our only home.../Andligt, vår sköra värld, och i slutändan vårt enda hem.../Espiritual..., nuestro delicado mundo, y al final de cuentas nuestro único hogar...(DSC_4015-2)
Esta es la versión en blanco y negro de una foto que subía en color hace casi tres años. Cuando visité esta ermita de la Virxe do Porto en Valdoviño (A Coruña) un señor que me encontré allí me dijo que iba frecuentemente porque la luz era distinta en cada instante y que los colores cambiaban a lo largo del día. Como no he vuelto para comprobarlo, a la foto que hice aquél día le he quitado el color para hacerla diferente
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments

The Western Wall, also known as the "Wailing Wall" or the "Kotel," is one of the most significant religious and historical sites in Jerusalem, Israel. It holds deep spiritual and emotional importance for Jews worldwide, and it has also become a symbol of the complex and often contentious nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Western Wall is a remnant of the ancient retaining wall that once surrounded the Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. After the temple's destruction, the Western Wall became the closest accessible site for Jewish prayer and pilgrimage. For centuries, Jews from around the world have come to this sacred site to pray, lament the destruction of the temple, and express their connection to Jewish heritage.
The name "Wailing Wall" originates from the 19th and early 20th centuries when Jews would gather at the site to mourn the destruction of the temple and express their sorrow through prayers and tears. The term "Kotel" means "wall" in Hebrew and has become a popular and endearing name for the site.
Over time, the Western Wall has evolved into a focal point of religious and nationalist tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. The site is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is also part of the contested area between Israel and Palestine. Its significance to both Jewish and Muslim communities has led to disputes and occasional clashes.
The Western Wall plaza is divided into two sections: one for men and the other for women, following Orthodox Jewish tradition. The prayers and rituals conducted here are a mix of individual devotion, communal worship, and celebrations during religious holidays.
In addition to its religious importance, the Western Wall draws millions of tourists and visitors from various backgrounds each year, offering them a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of Jerusalem.
Despite the ongoing complexities surrounding the Western Wall and its geopolitical context, it remains an essential and cherished place for Jewish people, symbolizing resilience, faith, and the connection to their shared heritage.
Smile. For me all I have to do to have a spiritual experience is go outdoors. I am blessed beyond measure.

THANKS!
This gorgeous three year old gypsy Vanner stallion is a beautiful spiritual being. He is inquisitive and non judgmental and seems to have psychic powers and knows what his owner is thinking. He is intuitive and brilliant as well as a clown. I enjoyed my time with him and his gypsy family.

A great first day of lifted lockdown yesterday. A morning looking for adders and an afternoon watching giant clouds fly across the sands. A real spiritual healing. Watching clouds is such a wonderful obsession. Spiritual Healing is by Toots and the Maytals

7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

Forest fires and the resulting smoke have been a big deal in Canada since early spring and we certainly encountered it on our recent trip west - having to change plans because of road closures and contending with a smoky haze that irritated the lungs and made us and everything in the car smell like a campfire. It was particularly bad in British Columbia's Thompson Valley and Ontario - extending all the way from Kenora in the north down to Toronto and across the border into the US.
This image is from the west coast of Vancouver Island - the furthest point we were able to go. A couple of things attracted me to this scene - the layers in the landscape and the taller trees in the upper right - the few left standing on the edge of clearcut logging.
Old growth forest is something to behold - full of large trees, large ferns, large sections of mosses - pretty well large everything. I find it spiritual.

Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།
salt lake The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Rila monastery, Bulgaria, a popular spot to visit, but it's free of the tourist crowds at night, there's a basic but cheap and perfectly adequate place to stay just outside the monastery. Unfortunately it's not allowed for the public to go up to the upper floors, where the view would have been much better.

Waddell Memorial Presbyterian Church is a Gothic building located in Rapidan, Virginia. I checked my PhotoPills app and saw that the Milky Way would be oriented right "behind" the building last night, so I headed over there in hopes of getting a nice shot with the church in the foreground.
I used the Pentax K-1's built-in Astrotracer to extend the Milky Way exposure to 172s, which yielded some good color and detail in the galactic core with minimal star trailing.
Thanks and Happy Labor Day evening to my American friends! :)
The cathedral is named after the 6th-century Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) cathedral in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), which was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom rather than to a specific saint named Sophia. The first foundations were laid in 1037 or 1011, but the cathedral took two decades to complete. According to one theory, Yaroslav the Wise sponsored the construction of the Saint Sophia Cathedral in 1037 to celebrate his decisive victory over the nomadic Pechenegs in 1036 (who thereafter were never a threat to Kyiv).
The grand Cathedral of St. Sophia the Wisdom of God has already been located in the historical center of ancient Kyiv for one thousand years. It is the most ancient Christian church that is fully preserved in the East Slavic area. Being born in the era of Christianization of Rus’ it became the cradle of Kyivan Christianity, statehood and culture, development of which was carried out under the sign of Sophia the Wisdom, which patrons the world. Saint Sophia the Wisdom of God, after whom the cathedral was named, is one of the fundamental ideologemes of Eastern Christianity. It is associated with the image of sovereign statehood wisely kept by God. The idea of Saint Sophia had been preserved as a basis of spiritual life of the entire population for centuries. The humanity can’t exist without this idea as a Christian nation, as a Church, because the idea of St. Sophia was identified with the wisdom of new Christian religion.
