after a long long time i had a chance to go for a walk all by myself! after dropping my brother to his college and leaving the car with the driver, i started to walk. i felt a bit shy approaching people! i guess it was because of that long break!
so as i was walking, i saw this cemetery which seemed pretty ancient and decided to have a look around. but guess what! two of the guard-dogs didn't like me sneaking around at all!! they were barking at me and following me around! one of them was looking pretty eager to have a bite of me! i got somewhat scared and then this guy came out of a room and called those dogs off my back! and those dogs seemed to obey his orders!
Shoren Sharkar, is a guard of this cemetery. asked me if i was gonna put his picture in some newspaper! looked pretty upset when i confessed that "I'm just a kid with a camera", nothing more!!
yes i thanked him and left that place as fast as i could! damn dogs! i was starting to get some spiritual vibes! :(

"I'm standing in my Savior's shadow
Grace will lead to where I'm free
I take his hand, we walk together
And his light shines on me" - Blake Shelton- Savior's Shadow!
MANILA, QUIAPO - I saw great sadness today, in the culture of our nation; That we have to spend and pay, for a savior to deliver us from damnation.
The beautiful domes of Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian Orthodox). The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь Спаса на Крови) is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is a superb example of Russian architecture and of the decorative and monumental art of the late 19th century. The style was executed by the architect Alfred Parland and has the features of the age of the Muscovite tsars of the 17th century, such as arcades, arches, kokoshniks, complex multi-profiled cornices, pilasters, horizontal articulations, and all kinds of insets. This church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded by political nihilists in March 1881. The church was built between 1883 and 1907. The construction was funded by the imperial family. The church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal; paved roads run along both sides of the canal. On March 13, 1881 (Julian date: March 1), as Tsar Alexander's carriage passed along the embankment, a grenade thrown by an anarchist conspirator exploded. The Tsar, shaken but unhurt, got out of the carriage and started to remonstrate with the presumed culprit. A second conspirator took the chance to throw another bomb, killing himself and mortally wounding the Tsar. The Tsar, bleeding heavily, was taken back to the Winter Palace, where he died a few hours later.
I finally have the time to resume uploading of my photos after almost a week. A week that has been rather difficult for me due to some personal issues in my life. I have had to learn how to cope with it emotionally, although it is easier said than done sometimes. I suppose this is the game of life that everyone has to go through. I am not a religious person, in fact I am more of an atheist. But I do read the Bible and the scriptures from other religions occasionally from time to time to spiritual help from time to time.
Anyway, in Korea, it is common to see pastors like this in the photo preaching to follow Jesus and repent. It can be a little surprising for some that Christianity is the largest religion in Korea!
In case anyone is wondering what the sign reads, it says: "Jesus is Savior" in Mandarin.

Christian Worship Song "God's Kingdom Has Appeared on Earth"
I
Almighty true God, King on the throne,
ruling the whole universe,
facing all nations and all peoples.
The whole world shines with God’s glory.
All things in the universe shall see,
all living things everywhere shall see.
The mountains, lands, rivers and lakes,
oceans and all living beings,
in the light of the true God’s presence,
have opened their curtains, revived,
as though waking to life from a dream,
or like sprouts breaking through soil to light.
Oh, the one true God appears before the world.
Who dares, who dares to resist Him?
Everyone shakes with fear, all feeling convinced,
on their knees, on their knees before Him!
See them beg His forgiveness, pleading endlessly.
Every mouth, every mouth in worship!
II
Continents and oceans, mountains, rivers,
all things praise Him endlessly.
Spring breezes bring fine rain.
Stream currents, like people, mixing grief with joy,
they’re shedding tears of indebtedness,
they’re weeping, full of blame and remorse.
Rivers, lakes, surf, swells, all are singing
and praising God’s holy name.
All old things defiled by Satan,
each and every one will renew.
All things once corrupted will change.
They will enter a new circumstance.
Oh, the one true God appears before the world.
Who dares, who dares to resist Him?
Everyone shakes with fear, all feeling convinced,
on their knees, on their knees before Him!
See them beg His forgiveness, pleading endlessly.
Every mouth, every mouth in worship!
III
Then the trumpet sounds a holy blast.
Lend an ear and listen.
A sweet sound comes out from the throne,
announcing to every nation
that the time has already come,
the final end has come at last.
God’s management plan is finished
and His kingdom has come on earth.
Every kingdom in the world
has become the kingdom of God.
Seven trumpets sound from the throne,
what great wonders will now take place!
God joys to see His people, who hear His voice.
They gather from all nations and lands.
All people keep the true God in their mouths,
praise and jump, praise and jump endlessly!
Witnessing to the world of the one true God,
thundering, thundering like waters.
All will crowd into God’s kingdom!
from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning
Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.

One of the cooler projects I've been working on lately is an article on C-97s in the Biafran Airlift in 1969. I've interviewed several surviving aircrew and maintainers from the US and Israel and who served with either the Red Cross out of Cotonou, Dahomey or Joint Church Aid out of Sao Tome. The stories these guys have told are some of the craziest flying stories I've ever heard.
HB-ILY, the C-97G on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum, was one of four Stratofreighters operated by Balair on behalf of the Red Cross during the airlift, making two or sometimes three flights a night from Cotonou to Uli, Biafra, delivering food and medical supplies on a long stretch of highway in the middle of the jungle.
I shot this using green and red gels on the lights I used, which combined with the blackness of the night, comprise the three colors of the Biafran flag.
Article due out in The Aviation Historian magazine sometime in 2023.
Me mata el no saberlo he hecho todo menos olvidarlo,
como el color de sus ojos y sus cicatrices, o como las obtuvo.
Mientras los signos de la edad llueven una lágrima se derrama por los valles de un rostro envejecido que este mundo ha olvidado.
No hay reconciliación que me ponga en mi lugar
y no hay tiempo como el presente para agotar los escurridizos segundos.
Pero rara vez hago caso a mis palabras, constantemente te estoy fallando, como los muros que no podemos derribar hasta que desaparecemos.
Asique decime ahora...
¿Si no hay amor como saldremos de aquí?
Porque no lo sé!
Fue cuando el me dijo
"Yo no te odio niña, solo quiero salvarte mientras aún exista algo por salvar"
Fue cuando le dije:
"Yo te amo niño, pero no soy la respuesta a las preguntas que aún tienes"
Pero el día continuó como un peso aprisionador que ningún hombre podría soportar,
como recuerdos de días muertos que nos atormentan como huracanes.
Bañados en llamas sostuvimos el emblema,
separa los dedos de tus manos, presiona sobre la herida con la arena.
¿Ahora me comprendes?
Asique decime ahora...
¿Si no hay amor como saldremos de aquí?
Porque no lo sé!
Fue cuando el me dijo
"Yo no te odio niña, solo quiero salvarte mientras aún exista algo por salvar"
Fue cuando le dije:
"Yo te amo niño, pero no soy la respuesta a las preguntas que aún tienes"
A mil millas de distancia no queda nada que decir, pero hay tanto que yo no se.
Nunca tuvimos opción, este mundo es muy ruidoso, esto me apresiona, me apresiona una vez mas.

Úbeda es una ciudad española y un municipio de la provincia de Jaén, capital de la comarca de La Loma de Úbeda, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. La ciudad, junto a la cercana Baeza, fue declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la Unesco el 3 de julio de 2003, debido a la calidad y buena conservación de sus numerosos edificios renacentistas y de su singular entorno urbanístico.
Llamada «la ciudad de los cerros», constituye un importante centro de atracción, cuenta con hospital comarcal, centros educativos y escuelas universitarias (UNED y SAFA), delegaciones de Hacienda y de la seguridad social, juzgados, capitanía de zona, Centro del Profesorado (CEP), etc., derivando en uno de los índices de centralidad más altos de toda Andalucía. Según el anuario de La Caixa, se trata de la capital de una de las provincias económicas de España, con una zona de influencia de más de 200 000 habitantes que acude habitualmente a comprar en ella., datos que resaltan su centralidad comercial.
Su riqueza de hoy corresponde a su esplendor antiguo. Úbeda vive principalmente del sector terciario, el comercio y la administración, que ocupan el 49% de la población activa. Pero además el peso de la agricultura ocupa a más de un 50% de la población, siendo el centro neurálgico del olivar y de la producción aceitera, siendo uno de los mayores productores y envasadores de la provincia de Jaén de aceite de oliva, piedra angular de toda su economía. De hecho, la comarca de La Loma viene siendo la mayor productora mundial, con un 15% de toda la producción aceitera mundial. Otras actividades complementarias son la industria, la ganadería y un incipiente turismo cultural.
Úbeda (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈuβeða]; from Arabic Ubbada al-`Arab and this from Iberian Ibiut) is a town in the province of Jaén in Spain's autonomous community of Andalusia, with 34,733 (data 2017) inhabitants. Both this city and the neighbouring city of Baeza benefited from extensive patronage in the early 16th century resulting in the construction of a series of Renaissance style palaces and churches, which have been preserved ever since. In 2003, UNESCO declared the historic cores and monuments of these two towns a World Heritage Site.
The most outstanding feature of the city is the monumental Vázquez de Molina Square, surrounded with imposing Renaissance buildings such as the Palacio de las Cadenas (so named for the decorative chains which once hung from the façade) and the Basílica de Santa María de los Reales Alcázares. The Chapel of the Savior or Capilla del Salvador was constructed to house the tombs of local nobility. Both the interior and exterior are decorated; for example, interior has an elaborate metawork screen by the ironworker Bartolomé de Jaen. The Hospital de Santiago, designed by Vandelvira in the late 16th century, with its square bell towers and graceful Renaissance courtyard, is now the home of the town's Conference Hall. Ubeda has a Parador hotel, housed in a 16th-century palace which was the residence of a high-ranking churchman of that period.
The town lends its name to a common figure of speech in Spanish, andar por los cerros de Úbeda (literally 'to walk around the hills of Úbeda'), meaning 'to go off at a tangent'.
The city possesses 48 monuments, and more of another hundred of buildings of interest, almost all of them of Renaissance style. Though to the romantic travelers of the 18th and 19th centuries it impressed more the Muslim flavor of its streets than this Renaissance brilliance. All this patrimony led Úbeda to being the second city of renowned Spain Historical – artistic Set, in the year 1955. In the year 1975 it received the appointment of the Council of Europe as Exemplary City of the Renaissance. Finally, in 2003 it was named a World Heritage Site, together with Baeza, by UNESCO.
La Sacra Capilla del Salvador del Mundo es un templo construido bajo patrocinio de Francisco de los Cobos como panteón anexo a su palacio de Úbeda (provincia de Jaén), en la actualmente llamada Plaza Vázquez de Molina.
Mandada construir en 1536, formaba parte de un extenso programa artístico (del que formaban parte su Palacio, una Universidad y un Hospital)1 destinado a encumbrar la fama, la fortuna y la gloria personal que había alcanzado el secretario personal de Carlos V; para lo que recurrió a artistas de primer nivel. El proyecto inicial se encargó a Diego de Siloé, mientras que la realización corrió a cargo de Andrés de Vandelvira a partir de 1540. El templo fue consagrado en 1559. Su primer capellán fue el Deán Ortega, para quien se construyó el gran palacio que hay a la izquierda de la fachada principal de la capilla.
El Salvador fue la empresa más ambiciosa de toda la arquitectura religiosa privada del Renacimiento español. Declarado monumento histórico-artístico en 1931, se ha convertido, a su vez, en uno de los más divulgados símbolos de esta ciudad cuyo conjunto monumental renacentista, que junto con el de Baeza, fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 2003.2

This famous chapel, built between 1536 and 1559, is the flagship of Úbeda Renaissance architecture. Commissioned by Francisco de los Cobos y Molina as his family's funerary chapel, it presents a marked contrast between the relatively sober proportions of the interior (by Diego de Siloé, architect of Granada's cathedral) and the more decorative western facade. The facade, a pre-eminent example of plateresque style, was designed by Andrés de Vandelvira, one of Siloé's stonemasons, who took over the project in 1540.
The chapel thus represents the first architectural commission obtained by Vandelvira, who went on to endow Úbeda, Baeza and Jaén with most of their outstanding Renaissance buildings. He worked in tandem with the French sculptor Esteban Jamete, who carved an orgy of classical sculpture depicting Greek gods on the underside of the facade arch, and scattered numerous skulls among the facade's decoration in a reminder that the building is a funerary chapel. Classical figures are also prominent in the sacristy (accessed from the northeast corner of the interior), another Vandelvira creation, but are absent from the main body of the chapel – where the Capilla Mayor sits beneath a stately dome painted in gold, blue and red, and features a grand 1560s altarpiece sculpture of the transfiguration by Alonso de Berruguete.
The Cobos family tombs lie beneath the floor of the chapel and aren't open to visitors. The chapel is still privately owned by the Seville-based Medinaceli ducal family, descendants of the Cobos. The audio guide is full of interesting information and anecdotes and well worth listening to as you go round the chapel.
Next to the chapel stands what was originally its chaplain's residence, the Palacio del Deán Ortega – another Vandelvira creation. The mansion is now Úbeda’s luxurious parador hotel.
