Slowly going though my backlog of shots. This one from a recent trip to Wales.
In no rush, happy to take my time over editing shots now. I feel it makes me more objective.

sorry for my lack of commenting. I seem to have developed some weird back/neck/shoulder thing. I'm on muscle relaxants and pain killers.

Scientific study: “COVID-19 lockdown effects on adolescent brain structure suggest accelerated maturation that is more pronounced in females than in males”.
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2403200121
“Since accelerated brain maturation has been associated with increased risk for the development of neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, these findings highlight the importance of providing ongoing monitoring and support to individuals who were adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Like we were told during covid: follow the science!
Galatians 2:18 “Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor.”
Eglwys y Grog (Holy Cross Church), Mwnt, Ceredigion
Mwnt is a beautiful secluded cove on the Ceredigion coast, just north of Cardigan. Above a sandy beach that has been rated amongst the finest in Europe is a picturesque whitewashed church dedicated to the Holy Cross.
Though the present church building dates to the 14th century, there has been a church in this spot since the Age of the Saints (roughly 410-700 AD). The dedication to Holy Cross is probably a reference to a tradition that a tall stone cross once stood atop Foel y Mwnt, the conical hill that rises directly behind the church. The cross would have been used as a focal point for preaching the Christian message.
The cross would also have been visible for many miles, attracting pilgrims who drew their boats up on the sandy beach at the base of the cliffs.
Mwnt gained such a reputation amongst early Christians that it became a stopping place for the bodies of saints being transported to Bardsey Island for burial. Mwnt's location also made it a convenient resting place for pilgrims en route to St David's, further down the coast.
We do not know exactly when the present building was erected; it may have been as early as the 13th century. That's the date of the stone font, made of Preselau stone, that stands at the west end of the nave.
On the north wall is a small lancet window, now blocked, that may have allowed lepers - who were not allowed inside churches - to view the high altar during services.
how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.
Geometric shapes in warm hues form abstract city buildings under a dark blue sky. Light gradients and overlapping structures create depth in the architectural composition.
The Millennium Tower is the second tallest building and fourth tallest structure in Austria at 171 metres (561 feet). The tower is located at Handelskai 94-96 in the Brigittenau 20th district in Vienna, Austria. An antenna mounted on top of the tower brings the architectural height to 202 metres (663 feet) but does not count to its overall height.

Matka Canyon reveals a place of silence here, directly beside the monastery Saint Nicholas Šiševski. This simple wooden pavilion forms a natural transition between the monastery and the gorge — a place to pause, to look, and to rest. Kanitha sits here for a moment, leaning against the wood, before we begin the descent back down. The pavilion feels like an extension of the monastery itself and may once have served as a resting place for monks: sheltered from sun and wind, with views over the deep canyon and the Treska River cutting far below through the landscape. No decoration, no distraction — only wood, shade and silence. From here, you can see how the gorge slowly opens, how light and shadow drift across the rock walls, and how distant the world below seems. The silence is almost tangible. It is a place where nothing is required — just sitting, breathing, and looking. That is precisely what makes this spot so fitting within the landscape of Matka — simple, secluded, and fully in harmony with nature.
Resting at a wooden pavilion beside Saint Nicholas Šiševski Monastery, overlooking the deep gorge of Matka Canyon. A quiet pause above the Treska River, where wood, light, and silence come together before the descent back down.
Matka Canyon onthult hier een plek van stilte, direct bij het klooster Saint Nicholas Šiševski. Dit eenvoudige houten paviljoen vormt een natuurlijke overgang tussen het klooster en de kloof — een plek om te pauzeren, te kijken en tot rust te komen. Kanitha neemt hier even plaats, leunend tegen het hout, voordat we aan de afdaling terug naar beneden beginnen. Het paviljoen voelt als een verlengstuk van het klooster zelf en diende het ooit als rustplek voor monniken: beschut tegen zon en wind, met uitzicht over de diepe canyon en de rivier Treska die ver beneden door het landschap snijdt. Geen versiering, geen afleiding — alleen hout, schaduw en stilte. Vanaf hier zie je hoe de kloof zich langzaam opent, hoe licht en schaduw over de rotswanden schuiven en hoe ver de wereld beneden lijkt. De stilte is bijna tastbaar. Het is een plek waar niets hoeft: even zitten, ademhalen en kijken. Precies dat maakt deze plek zo passend in het landschap van Matka — eenvoudig, afgezonderd en volledig in harmonie met de natuur.
This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.
