St Lucy , 4th century saint and martyr, holds a knife and two eyes, placed on top of a book. There is a legend that her eyes were torn out but miraculously restored. One of 15 panels of the medieval rood screen in the church of St Peter & St Paul, Eye, Suffolk. The screen dates from about 1480 and most of the panels are in excellent condition, having been cleaned but not restored or over-painted.
st Moritz (Sankt Moritz in tedesco, San Murezzan in romancio, San Maurizio in italiano) è una rinomata località di villeggiatura nel Canton Grigioni in Svizzera.
St. Moritz è situato in Alta Engadina, sulla sponda sinistra dell'Inn, affacciato sul lago omonimo
Il Lago di St. Moritz (Tedesco: St. Moritzersee, Romancio: Lej da San Murezzan) è un lago situato presso il centro di St. Moritz,. Con una superficie di soli 0.78 km², è il lago più piccoli fra quelli dell'Alta Engadina (Lago di Sils e Lago di Silvaplana).
Nel mese di febbraio, approfittando del lago ghiacciato, fin dal 1907 si svolgono alcune corse di cavalli.
Nel 1928 si svolsero sul lago alcune prove valide per le Olimpiadi invernali.
Il primo torneo di cricket su superficie ghiacciata si svolse nel 1988. Il giocatore inglese David Gower pargheggiò la sua auto a noleggio al centro del lago nel gennaio del 1990, la quale durante la notte spezzò lo strato ghiaccio e si inabissò.

St Andrew, Walpole St Andrew, Norfolk
It had been twelve full years since I'd last visited Walpole St Andrew, and as I cycled down the dog-legging lanes from Terrington St Clement I wondered what to expect. The entwined villages of Walpole St Andrew and Walpole St Peter lie together on the edge of the marshland, looking across the Nene towards the Cambridgeshire fens more than to the rest of Norfolk really. The two church towers rise out of a sea of scrubby suburban estates.
It is St Peter that attracts visitors, but in almost any other village in northern Europe, St Andrew would be much better known, and a draw for tourists. However, as it sits barely a mile from one of the grandest and most important churches in England, we can be forgiven for not beating a path to it. As it is, we would think this a big church if it were not for its neighbour, and St Andrew can beat St Peter in being wholly Perpendicular, a purer, later Perpendicular that is a result of the mid-15th century and a couple of crisp late 19th/early 20th century restorations. There are aisles, there is a clerestory. The rood turret spires and sanctus bell turret echo its neighbour. The gorgeous red-brick and stone tower has a little room built into the south-western buttress, which may have been a roadside shrine. There is another little door set in the south of the tower.
It all sounds lovely, but when I'd visited in 2005 I found that St Andrew had fallen on hard times. It had been declared redundant and placed in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The congregation had decamped to St Peter, and St Andrew now had the authentic CCT feel, cleared of clutter, the interior seemly, if a bit grubby. The most striking feature of the interior was that the stone of the arcades, chancel step and pulpit base was heavily eroded. This is not unique; you will find it in several other churches, including a few in Norfolk, but St Andrew is probably the most famous example. An architect's report pointed to rising damp as the cause, but of course all medieval churches have rising damp. Probably, it is the result of a combination of the nature of the stone, the damp, and exposure to salt in the air - probably, the church spent years roofless.
My other main memory was of how difficult the keyholder had been, insisting I return the key within ten minutes, and that there had been no less than five locks on the door. I thought this was overdoing it a bit. After all, there is very little inside that would be stealable, so I couldn’t see the point in having even one lock, let alone five. When I wrote about this, however, I received a rather snooty e-mail from someone in the Churches Conservation Trust putting me in my place. Among other things, it told me that this is the most heavily vandalised of all their properties, which perhaps tells you a lot of what you need to know about this part of Norfolk.
Approaching from the north-west, the church looked lovely in its open graveyard, although the dilapidation of the exterior rendering seemed to warn of what might be inside. However, the church was open, and there were CCT banners outside, hooray! But when I stepped inside it was to discover that a public meeting had just begun. The lead from the south aisle roof had recently been stolen (so much for the locks), and some representatives from the CCT were explaining to a group of villagers quite how much work needed to be done.
Beyond them, I could see that the church was in a dreadful state, far worse than in 2005. The floor had gone completely at the east end of both arcades, and the bases of the pillars were cordoned off and exposed. As I wandered around I could hear that the village was being presented with an ultimatum, more or less - either you raise money to save this church, or you're going to lose it to being a ruin. This has always been a difficult one for the CCT, and it looks like remaining so.
If you ignore the distraction of the erosion, decay and impending dereliction, you find inside St Andrew the elements of a typical East Anglian village church - indeed, it could be used as a teaching example. The 15th century font has quatrefoils and shields, the pulpit is 17th century with a preacher's hourglass, the west gallery survives, there are even some rustic benches. There are some curious alcoves which may be associated with a shrine in the nave.
The stained glass is good of its kind. In the south aisle, a late Heaton, Butler & Bayne window depicts the three Marys meeting the angel at the empty tomb in a pleasing Arts & Crafts style. The east window is more interesting, the work of Arthur Moore who was parish priest of neighbouring Walpole St Peter. A highly skilled amateur glass designer and maker, there are a number of his windows in Ely cathedral. This window depicts the crucifixion, and one cannot help notice the long legend along the bottom, IT IS FINISHED, which may serve as a warning to the parish.
Heavens knows what will happen to this church. I won't leave it twelve years this time before I go back and find out.

St Pega, Peakirk, Cambridgeshire
From Glinton it was less than a mile to Peakirk. It took me some time to find the church, because it is that unusual thing in this part of the world - towerless. And Peakirk is one of those winding stone villages where every wall looks as if it might be a churchyard wall. However, I eventually tracked it down, hidden in a tree-filled churchyard.
Externally it is not exciting, a small Norman church with a Norman bellcote, the whole piece developed and embellished enthusiastically in the 14th and 15th Centuries. A small church, yes, but there are aisles and clerestories and a wide five light east window. But you step down inside to great excitement. This is a church filled with shadowy light, uneven floors, a great range of wall paintings, Norman arcades with vast square dog-toothed capitals, the windows jewel-like, the old furnishings a setting for spots of former anglo-Catholic colour, all leading to that great east window which is spoiled slightly by being filled with dull Kempe glass. Come friendly bombs and fall near Peakirk church!
It was the most atmospheric Cambridgeshire church I have been inside in a long while, probably since Coveney several trips back. The range of wall paintings include a Passion sequence, the Three Living and Three Dead, and a Warning Against Gossip. All in one little church! It was wonderful.
From Peakirk I was heading out into the Fen. Ahead of me, less than a mile off, was the grand tower of Market Deeping church, but for the first time since I first did Suffolk in the 1990s I resisted heading towards a church simply because it was in a different county. Market Deeping was in Lincolnshire, and that would mean crossing the border. No. I was doing Cambridgeshire. So I diverted westwards for Northborough.
Constructed from the 12th-15th centuries, St. Mary Redcliffe is an imposing building and the tallest in Bristol. It was once described by Queen Elizabeth I as, "the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England".

Next to a small green stands the parish church of St. Edmund's. A church has stood on this site since about 1200, with the current building dating from 1460. It is built from stone shipped in from Caen in France, with local flint used for the detailed patterns. The tower soars 100 feet above ground and contains a peal of 8 bells. This imposing building is the main survivor of the once prosperous medieval town which was destroyed by two major fires. Is now one of the town’s landmarks and can be spotted towering over the village from quite a distance.
The surrounding churchyard is extensive. It does not contain any truly spectacular monuments but the many carved 18th century and a number of Victorian headstones make it well worth a visit. There are a number of what appear to be Jewish gravestones - a bit of a mystery as headstones marked with the Star of David are not usually found in parish churchyards. The most striking monument is situated on the south side of the church. It commemorates the architect William Bardwell who died in 1853, and was possibly designed by him. The grade II listed monument comprises a rectangular sarcophagus that is resting on a square plinth which is inset with headstones of Bardwell family members buried here. Red ceramic tiles spell out names and dates of those commemorated in single band around monument. The sarcophagus is decorated with architectural mouldings. It has square corner columns of marble with capitals that are surmounted by crocketed and cross-gabled finials. Only a few of the glazed tiles that used to adorn its walls remain.
Inside, this beautiful church has many interesting features. The most famous is Southwold Jack, who represents a soldier from the Wars of the Roses. He is dressed in armour and holds a sword and battle axe, which rings a bell to tell the congregation that the service is about to start! The font has an elaborate cover, which is a staggering 24-feet high! The original cover was destroyed during the reformation in 1643, with this replacement made in 1935. Finally, the east window depicts scenes of Kind Edmund's martyrdom and was installed in 1954 after the original window was blown out by a German bomb in 1943.

Life is stressful and busy. It's only the second week of the new semester and I'm already behind on my readings and some of my assignments. I wish life wasn't so busy and time would slow down.

I and several others have commented on how this scene looks like something out of post WWII Europe. Unfortunately it has been a common sight anymore in McKeesport. I found out too late to come into PA and get shots when most of the structure was still standing. Nonetheless, seeing St. Peter's and Holy Trinity destruction has depressed me a bit. Three generations of my family went to St. Pete's and many of my good friendships were formed at HT. It's all part of the sad condition that is McKeesport these days.
For over 100 years, St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church was located on the corner of 7th Ave and Market Streets, McKeesport, PA
Tube City Almanac has a short video story of the demolition:
Oh, Signore! Fa di me un istrumento
della tua pace:
Dove è odio, fa ch'io porti l'amore.
Dove è offesa, ch'io porti il perdono.
Dove è discordia, ch'io porti l'unione.
Dove è dubbio, ch'io porti la fede.
Dove è errore, ch'io porti la verità.
Dove è disperazione, ch'io porti la speranza.
Dove è tristezza, ch'io porti la gioia.
Dove sono le tenebre, ch'io porti la luce.
Oh, Maestro! Fa ch'io non cerchi tanto:
Ad essere consolata, quanto a consolare,
Ad essere compreso, quanto a comprendere,
Ad essere amato, quanto ad amare.
Poichè si è dando che si riceve,
Perdonando che si è perdonati,
Morendo che si riuscita a vita eterna.
St. Hilarion Castle is located in the Kyrenia Mountains in North Cyprus, overlooking the city of Kyrenia. The castle dates from the 11th century, and is named after a 10th century monk, who established a hermitage there.
The castle fortification was began by the Byzantines, and later became a Crusader castle. It commands superb views of the Mediterranean Sea, hence its role in protecting the island from pirates and other invaders.
Im in search of clouds and city shots in the twin cities. I think I found another view I like and this time in St. Paul!
