Otherwise known as the Church of St Philip and St James, it is younger than it looks and was actually built in the 1860s by William White for the Carew Pole family, who owned the adjacent Antony House and its associated estate. The steeple was built a few years later to White's design. The church is Grade II*-listed. Michael Swift, eminent Cornish historian, has spoken of it as ‘a gem’, and ‘one of the most important buildings in Cornwall’.
According to a detailed note by Veronica Writer in Trip Advisor, "It is well-proportioned, picturesque, and exceptionally well-designed, and stands in a small garden. Inside White used colour to great effect, from the polychromatic arches, to the marble altarpiece, from the pillars to the pattern on the floors. He designed the fixtures and fittings, and all blend together in harmony."
"The stained glass windows are a magnificent example of the work of Clayton and Bell, ‘one of the most prolific and proficient workshops of English stained glass during the latter half of the 19th century.’ (Wikipedia) The stories told in the glass are grouped by theme, and they include careful details so easy to miss on a first inspection. For example, Moses stands as the Red Sea retreats, and there in the waves are the outlines of fishes."

Lecce is a historic city of 93,300 inhabitants (2013) in southern Italy, the capital of the province of Lecce, the second province in the region by population, as well as one of the most important cities of Apulia. It is the main city of the Salentine Peninsula, a sub-peninsula at the heel of the Italian Peninsula and is over 2,000 years old.
Because of the rich Baroque architectural monuments found in the city, Lecce is commonly nicknamed "The Florence of the South". The city also has a long traditional affinity with Greek culture going back to its foundation; the Messapii who founded the city are said to have been Cretans in Greek records. To this day, in the Grecìa Salentina, a group of towns not far from Lecce, the griko language is still spoken.

Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
Kakadu National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km southeast of Darwin.
The park is located within the Alligator Rivers Region of the Northern Territory. It covers an area of 19,804 km2 (7,646 sq mi), extending nearly 200 kilometres from north to south and over 100 kilometres from east to west. It is the size of Slovenia, about one-third the size of Tasmania, or nearly half the size of Switzerland.
The name Kakadu may come from the mispronunciation of Gaagudju, which is the name of an Aboriginal language spoken in the northern part of the park. This name may derive from the Indonesian word kakatuwah, (via Dutch kaketoe and German Kakadu) subsequently Anglicised as "cockatoo”.
Aboriginal people have occupied the Kakadu area continuously for at least 40,000 years. Kakadu National Park is renowned for the richness of its Aboriginal cultural sites. There are more than 5,000 recorded art sites illustrating Aboriginal culture over thousands of years.
The archaeological sites demonstrate Aboriginal occupation for up to 60,000 years.
The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognised internationally when the park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognised as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu was listed in three stages: stage 1 in 1981, stage 2 in 1987, and the entire park in 1992.
Approximately half of the land in Kakadu is Aboriginal land under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, and most of the remaining land is currently under claim by Aboriginal people. The areas of the park that are owned by Aboriginal people are leased by the traditional owners to the Director of National Parks to be managed as a national park. The remaining area is Commonwealth land vested under the Director of National Parks. All of Kakadu is declared a national park under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The Aboriginal traditional owners of the park are descendants of various clan groups from the Kakadu area and have longstanding affiliations with this country. Their lifestyle has changed in recent years, but their traditional customs and beliefs remain very important. About 500 Aboriginal people live in the park, many of them are traditional owners. All of Kakadu is jointly managed by Aboriginal traditional owners and the Australian Government's Department of the Environment and Water Resources through a division known as Parks Australia. Park Management is directed by the Kakadu Board of Management.
Anbangbang Billabong
Anbangbang Billabong lies in the shadow of Nourlangie Rock within Kakadu National Park and is a good place to view a wide range of wildlife. Large numbers of water fowl and wading birds inhabit the billabong and many wallabies can be found grazing around the water’s edge. There is a walking trail around the circumference of Anbangbang billabong with many picnic areas. The Anbangbang Billabong is overlooked by the Nawurlandja and Nourlangie plateaus. In the wet season, it is fed by runoff from these plateaus, as well as overflow from Nourlangie Creek, however during the dry season it is cut off.
Like much of Kakadu, Anbangbang Billabong is home to a particularly large variety of bird life. The fluctuating water levels draw waterfowl such as Magpie Geese, Pelicans, Darters, Spoonbills and Brolga. Other fauna known to frequent the billabong include Wallabies, File Snakes, Long-necked Turtles, Dingoes and Goannas.
Mangroves lining the billabong support populations of Freshwater mussel. Adjacent woodlands play host to a different ecosystem again. The nearby Nawurlandja plateau supports local populations of Short-eared rock-wallaby and Chestnut-quilled rock pigeon, among other species.
The swelling billabong promotes seasonal growth of Sedges, Grasses and Water Lilies, and Freshwater mangrove line the water's edge. Swamp areas support many types of paperbark, in particular the Weeping paperbark, Silver-leaved paperbark and Broad-leaved paperbark.
The woodlands surrounding the billabong are a lush habitat comprising an abundance of plant species. Darwin woollybutt and Darwin Stringybark dominate, with large populations of Fan palms, Kapok, Red Apples, Wattle and Pandanus.
Like much of Kakadu, the Anbangbang Billabong region's climate is monsoonal. The region's aboriginal owners recognize six seasons, however these can be reduced to vastly differing dry and wet seasons where the billabong is respectively depleted and replenished.
"Cinnamon and sugar,
and softly spoken lies.
You never know just how you look
through other people's eyes."
To leave a mark on the world is something many of us wish to do. We want our names to be remembered, to be spoken from the lips of future generations. We want our stories to be told. We all want to leave our imprint on the world, on the people in it. We want to reach out and leave our unique handprints on their shoulders so that they remember us, and so that we remember them. Our marks become our legacies, and our legacies become immortal. At the same time, however, we have this feeling that we are so small, so finite, so very utterly forgettable in the bigger picture. The world has its ways, and one day we will simply not open our eyes to the sunrise, our life will cease but the world will continue without us. The rivers will flow, the clouds will rain and the sun will shine. It will not stop to remember us, it will not write our names in the stars, it will simply continue as it always has. If life is so fragile what does that mean for the people who have already lived and died? Have they left any legacy, or are they simply gone? For me, they are not forgotten. You see, I feel a legacy does not have to be something special, something extraordinary. I believe your mark can be left even when you least expect it to be. It can be as simple as making someone feel something. Your mark can be small. Your mark can be timid. Your mark can be a smile, a kiss, a whisper. You see your handprint, that mark you leave, it changes things. It gives you a legacy.
“The important people in our lives leave imprints. They may stay or go in the physical realm, but they are always there in your heart, because they helped form your heart." - David Levithan

It is the size of Slovenia, about one-third the size of Tasmania, or nearly half the size of Switzerland.
The park comprises several landforms – sandstone escarpment and plateaux, savannah woodlands, monsoon forests, tidal and freshwater rivers, wetlands and tidal deltas.
The name Kakadu may come from the mispronunciation of Gaagudju, which is the name of an Aboriginal language spoken in the northern part of the park. This name may derive from the Indonesian word kakatuwah, (via Dutch kaketoe and German Kakadu) subsequently Anglicised as "cockatoo”.

I praise good thoughts, good words, good deeds and those that are to be thought spoken and done. I do accept all good thoughts, good words and good deeds. I do renounce all evil thoughts, evil words and evil deeds."
A fragment from the Avesta (Yasna, Introduction 4)
Zoroastrianism has changed a great deal throughout its three thousand years of existence. Still, it can be characterized as a belief in the capacity of humans to choose between good and
evil. Good is embodied by the supreme god Ahura Mazda. Human life is an incessant struggle against evil represented by Angra Mainyu.
Ubirr is within the East Alligator region of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia, and is known for its rock art. It consists of a group of rock outcrops on the edge of the Nadab floodplain where there are several natural shelters that have a collection of Aboriginal rock paintings, some of which are many thousands of years old. The art depicts certain creation ancestors as well as animals from the area such as barramundi, catfish, mullet, goannas, long-necked turtles, pig-nosed turtles, rock ringtail possums, and wallabies.
From the top of Ubirr rock there is a panoramic view of the floodplains and escarpments.
Ubirr is approximately 40 km from Jabiru along a sealed road. The road is low-lying, so access can be restricted during periods of heavy rain. A short walk from the car park takes visitors past the main art sites to the foot of Ubirr Rock.
The rock faces at Ubirr have been continuously painted and repainted since 40,000 BCE. Most paintings there were created about 2000 years ago. Some have been repainted right up to modern times. There are three main galleries of art accessible to visitors. National Park rangers, many of them Indigenous, give talks at all of these sites.
