the mystery of death and of abandon....... all these wonderful little mortuary chapels are going to disapear little by little because they have to be maintained by the family. Most of the time, the family has also disapeared or is not rich enough to afford the care of these monuments. With my pictures, I would like to make them live for ever though I know that "ever" does not exist.........
sandstone neo-Gothic building that is known as the 'Old-College'. This was the first university building in Aberystwyth. Although some teaching still goes on in this building, it is now mainly given over to university administration.
Cimetière Montparnasse
ELEGIES SOLITUDE
Abîme à franchir seule, où personne, oh ! Personne
ne touchera ma main froide à tous après toi ;
seulement à ma porte, où quelquefois Dieu sonne,
le pauvre verra, lui, que je suis encor moi,
si je vis ! Puis, un soir, ton essor plus paisible
s' abattra sur mon coeur immobile, brisé
par toi, mais tiède encor d' avoir été sensible
et vainement désabusé !
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786 - 1859)

Took this at that "castle" it's called Lambert castle and it's in NJ.
The guy who built the place, Catholine Lambert sadly lost almost all of his children as infants or before the age of 10. This is Florence Lambert
"Their oldest daughter Florence, married and had a child in 1882 and another child in 1883. She died of pneumonia soon after, at the age of 24. Florence’s death was to forever sadden Lambert. In fact, one of the stained glass windows in the Castle is a portrait of Florence. "
It's a really beautiful window. I wish I could have gotten the light rays, the high window they were coming from, and the entire stained glass window all in one shot, but it was impossible because of how the steps, walls, and everything was set up. This shot shows as much as possible.
This is an amazing place. But you can only photographs the outside and NO PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDE.
The is an amazing chapel. Shame you cannot photograph the amazing inside. The guide and the history of the place is brilliant.
You would not be able to photograph because you are packed in like sardines. There are that many people visiting the chapel.
'While there has been a church at the site of Holy Sepulchre for much longer, the current building dates from c.1450 when it was ‘newly re-edified or builded’ by Sir John Popham. The walls, porch and most of the tower all date from this rebuilding.
The interior is a polyglot of different styles and re-designs. The church was completely gutted in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the interior had to be totally re-built. The legend is that Sir Christopher Wren was supposed to do the work, but the Church Wardens at the time got bored of waiting and organised it themselves! Since then the interior has been substantially changed a number of times: in 1712; in 1737; in 1790 in 1834; in 1878; in 1932; and 1955.
There are two significant chapels in the church, The Royal Fusiliers Chapel in the South-East of the church, The Musicians’ Chapel on the North side of the Nave.'

The Church of the Holy Rude is the second oldest building in Stirling after the castle. Founded in 1129 during the reign of David I (1124 - 1153) as the parish church of Stirling.
Robert II, during his reign (1371-1390), founded an altar to the Holy Rude and thereafter the Church of Stirling became known as the Parish Church of The Holy Rude of the Burgh of Stirling. "Holy Rude" means Holy Cross, giving it the same origin as Holyrood in Edinburgh. David I's church was destroyed with much of Stirling by a catastrophic fire in March 1405. Shortly afterwards a grant was made by the Lord Chamberlain of Scotland to have a new church built. The Nave, South Aisle with rounded Scots pillars, Gothic arches and original oak-timbered roof and the Tower were completed about 1414.
Tradition says that King James IV may have helped masons build the later eastern end during the early 16th century. In 1567 the infant King James VI was crowned here, by which time the church was a reformed place of worship. Bullet marks on the tower may date from a siege of Stirling Castle by Cromwell's troops in 1651.
Because of its close links with the castle, the church always had the support and patronage of the Stuart kings, especially in the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries, and is the only church in the United Kingdom other than Westminster Abbey to have held a coronation and still be a living church today.

Part of "Cathedral of Christ the King", here in Hamilton, Ontario. I've been meaning to take this pictures for years now, as this is one of the most beautiful cathedrals that I've seen (from the outside, so far, anyway!).
