Church of Saint Patrick (1864), Akaroa day one on our two day trip away to escape from the earthquake repair/paint on our house. May 22, 2012.
The first mass was celebrated in Akaroa in 1840, and this church was built in the 1860s.
The French clergyman Bishop Pompallier offered the first Mass in the South Island at Akaroa. This pretty church, with its dark backdrop of manuka bush and ornate fret-worked fascia boards, is the third on the site (the first burned down; the second blew away!).
Constructed from rough-sawn totara slabs the interior features an intricate stained glass window behind the altar, various plaster icons and side windows with red crosses and Latin inscriptions. Stand at the front of the nave and look down the rows of pews to the view of French Bay out the front door.

Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for 'Long Harbour'.
Akaroa is 84km by road from Christchurch and is the terminus of State Highway 75. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village and in summer the temporary population can reach 7,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour, and 'swim with the dolphins' boat tours are a major tourist attraction.

Light pours in through the windows
Another chance to be
Offerings of beauty and colour
Another chance to see
(Shahireh; March 2008)
" یک پنجره برای دیدن
یک پنجره برای شنیدن
یک پنجره که مثل حلقه چاهی
در انتهای خود به زمین می رسد
و باز می شود به سوی وسعت این مهربانی مکرر آبی رنگ
یک پنجره که دستهای کوچک تنهایی را
از بخشش شبانه ی ستاره های کریم
سرشار می کند.
و میشود از آنجا
خورشید را به غربت گلهای شمعدانی مهمان کرد
یک پنجره برای من کافیست.
..."

Chapel of the Souls in Purgatory in the Church of Saint-Sulpice, Paris, France - The Pièta is by Jean-Baptiste Auguste Clésinger from 1868, and the stained glass is by Lucien Léopold Lobin from 1869.
Day 1 started at 2 am in order to wake up, pick up and get to Luton Airport for the 7 am flight. We finally flew at 9 am due to a passenger having medical issues on the runway.
Having booked the rest of the day was spent at La Segrada Familia Church. Impressive, modern but old if that makes sense. After a paella meal, Tim Hortons doughnuts and hot chocolate were consumed before falling asleep at 8 pm!

Inside Parma Cathedral day 4 of our Cosmos tour, October 3, 2012. After a nights stay in Montecatini we are now heading to the Venica area. We arrived in Montecatini in the dark and left in the dark so got no shots there.
Parma Cathedral (Duomo) is a cathedral church in Parma, Emilia-Romagna (Italy). It is an important Italian Romanesque cathedral: the dome, in particular, is decorated by a highly influential illusionistic fresco by Renaissance painter Antonio da Correggio.
The construction was begun in 1059 by bishop Cadalo, later antipope with the name of Honorius II, and was consecrated by Paschal II in 1106. A basilica existed probably in the 6th century, but was later abandoned; another church had been consecrated in the rear part of the preceding one in the 9th century by the count-bishop Guibodo. The new church was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1117 and had to be restored. Of the original building, remains can be seen in the presbytery, the transept, the choir and the apses, and in some sculpture fragments. The wide façade was completed in 1178: it has three loggia floors and three portals, whose doors were sculpted by Luchino Bianchino in 1494. Between the central and the right doors is the tomb of the mathematician Biagio Pelacani, who died in 1416.
The Gothic belfry was added later, in 1284-1294: a twin construction on the left side had been conceived, but it was never begun. Beside the Cathedral lies the octagonal Baptistry of Parma.

Hungary, Zsennye Mansion of Bezerédj family. A pastel portrait of a lady above the bed, reflecting a stain-glass window in it...
The first mention says it was a manor-house in the Middle Ages, then it was rebuilt in1867 from renessaince and baroque styles in a romantic style. Still renessaince window remains can be seen on some walls. Today it's a workshop for artists - mainly for painters and musicians, with ateliers and instruments like pianos, though also used of authors.
A Bezerédj-kastély középkori udvarházból épült ki (ezt késő reneszánsz részletek is tanúsítják) barokk stílusban a XVIII. században. Romantikus stílusban 1867-ben alakították át. Kertje védett. A falu szélén, mintegy 14 hektáros park közepén álló kastély tulajdonosa a XIX. század elejéig a Sennyei, azt követően a Bezerédj, majd a századfordulón a Békássy család volt. Ma a Magyar Alkotóművészeti Közalapítvány Alkotóháza.
