On the way back from Longnor yesterday, I stopped for a photo walk around Wirksworth. Reflection in a bookshop window.

I wrote an article for the now defunct magazine Pacific Rail News (Oct 1994) covering this line. One of the interesting facts I dug up was that near here, in 1908, a prehistoric spear point was found. It wasn't until 1925 that scientists determined this artifact revealed the presence of man in 9000 B.C. - this being 7000 years earlier than previously thought.
Santa Maria Antiqua was closed when I visited and I only had a glimpse of these wall paintings in the Oratory of Forty Martyrs through the entrance door.

A SYMBOL RECOMPOSED
92" x 92"
Inspired by Chuck Nohara's Symbol Quilt featured in her stunning book 2001 New Patchwork Patterns.
The 121 blocks are 5" finished and were made by Maree, Kerry, Loloma and me. It was my choice for our fourth annual entry for the 2012 Sydney Quilt Show. I redesigned the border and sashings to fit our blocks.
I will make the whole album public once I have permission from the others.

Samanistinen kalariimu tunnetaan useista alkuperäiskulttuureissa muodon hieman vaihdellessa. Kala oli muinais-suomalaiselle shamaanille voimakas apuhenki matkoilla toisiin todellisuuksiin. Symboli on myös ikivanha maaäidin tunnus. Akka on saamelaisessa mytologiassa voimallinen jumalatar.
In the course of a thorough restoration, on April 19, 1991, the reliquary, which was kept in a leather case, was recovered from a sealed cavity in the head of the crucified Christ. It had been there for a good 600 years, nobody knew about his Existence.
The five by four centimeter silver figure in the form of a butterfly contains a cross relic and shows one executed in enamel technique on the front
Crucifixion scene with Mary and John under the cross of Jesus.
The valuable enamel work was probably made in France in the early 14th century (possibly Paris, probably around 1310/1320).
The butterfly, this image of transformation, miracle, resurrection, in the back of the head of the Crucified. Symbolism speaks without words; the butterfly reliquary can be seen in the original in the Regensburg Cathedral Treasure.

The swastika, an ancient symbol, has a long and varied history in Asian cultures, predating its association with Nazi Germany. In various Asian religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, it is a sacred symbol representing concepts like good fortune, the four Vedas, or the Buddha's footsteps. It is also used in art, architecture, and everyday objects across the continent.

"Ce symbole, représenté par trois croissants entrelacés, est au cœur de l’identité visuelle de la ville, ornant fièrement de nombreux édifices et documents officiels.
...
L’histoire du logo de Bordeaux remonte au milieu du 17e siècle, une époque où ces trois croissants entrelacés font leur première apparition. Ces éléments caractéristiques étaient souvent présents sur le dos et les plats des reliures des livres de prix décernés par le collège de Guyenne, une institution éducative prestigieuse de la région.
...
Aujourd’hui, le chiffre de Bordeaux a évolué pour devenir le symbole officiel de la ville."

"Le logo actuel de la ville de Bordeaux, dont les premiers dessins furent connus dès le XVIIème siècle reprend à son tour, pour le multiplier par trois, le motif du quartier de lune.
Il s’agit de trois croissants entrelacés qu’on appelle aussi le chiffre de Bordeaux. Ils ont pour origine le croissant de lune, emblème du port dans les armoiries. On ne les trouve pas avant le milieu du 17e siècle. Ils figurent, entre autres, sur le dos et les plats des reliures des livres de prix décernés par le collège de Guyenne et ornent, au XVIIIème siècle, le fronton de la fontaine Saint-Projet. Ce « chiffre » est aujourd’hui le symbole utilisé comme logo de la ville.
Au XVIème siècle déjà, les trois lunes entrelacées constituaient le monogramme de Diane de Poitiers, reprenant l’attribut antique de la Diane chasseresse."

Faith is not my thing, at all, but I do admire the aesthetics of some symbols, like the framing of this cross next to the "Hermitage of Our Lady of Peace" (Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Paz).
A fé não é o meu forte, de todo, mas admiro a estética de alguns símbolos, como o enquadramento desta cruz junto à Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Paz.
Otaru Canal is considered the symbol of Otaru City, a historic mile-long canal that provides both a nostalgic look at the Otaru of yesteryear as well as a unique shopping and dining experience. Once the capital of Hokkaido in Japan's Meiji Period, Otaru was known as the "Sakhalin of Japan" for its busy maritime trade with Russia. The canal was created by a sea reclamation project started in 1914, and the store warehouses that you see were built during this period. They have been beautifully preserved and are an iconic and much photographed landmark in the city. Along the canal, you will find a gaslight-lined promenade brimming with fancy shops, boutiques and fine restaurants.
A clearly recently outshopped 03059 shunting at Newcastle (where else?} on a dismal 29th June 1983. Summer was obviously in full-swing.
The 'OM' symbol often seen in yoga.
Pronounced 'AUM', the symbol is a combination of curves, a crescent, and a dot. Phonetically speaking, they represent three states of consciousness. The letter “A” refers to the waking state; “U” the dream state; and “M” the unconscious state, also called deep sleep.
