Detail of one of a sequence of three Old Testament themed windows in the south aisle at Tamworth installed in 1881-6. They are fine examples of the work of Henry Holiday, the windows being made to his designs by Powell's whilst he was one of the studio's chief designers.
The magnificent former collegiate church of St Editha dominates the town centre of Tamworth. It is an impressively large building of mainly 14th - 15th century date with an imposing west tower (the stump of a former spire is just visible above the parapet), the lower part of which serves as a lofty main entrance and antechamber to the nave.
The spacious interior has several fine monuments (including several medieval tombs on the north side of the chancel and a splendid Baroque piece under the tower) and much fine stained glass by Pre Raphaelite artists (Burne Jones & Ford Madox Brown in the chancel, Henry Holiday in the nave aisles), one of the most rewarding displays in any Midland church.
The church is generally open to visitors most days between 10am & 4pm.

An illustration from "La Sainte Bible, contenant l'Ancien et le Nouveau Testament, traduite en français sur la vulgate, par M. Le Maistre de Saci. Nouvelle édition, ornée de 300 Figures, Gravées (par les plus habiles artistes, sous la direction du C. Ponce), d'après les Dessins de M. Marillier" - featuring also designs by Nicolas-André Monsiau (see Cohen below).
Publication of this twelve-volume French Bible was initiated in 1789. It was completed fifteen years later with a luxurious program of 300 illustrations in the neoclassical style. These were engraved under the direction of Nicolas Ponce (1746–1831) after designs by Clément Pierre Marillier (1740–1808) and Nicolas-André Monsiau (1754–1837). Cohen, in his "Guide de l'Amateur de Livres à Gravures du XVIIIe siècle", adds: "En tout 300 figures (204 pour l'Ancien et 96 pour le Nouveau Testament), par Marillier et Monsiau, gravées par Dambrun, de Launay jeune, Delignon, Dupréel, de Ghendt, Giraud jeune, Halbou, Hubert, Lebeau, Patas, Petit, Ponce, Trière, Varin et Viguet, et 1 carte repliée."

Believed by many to be Frederick Preedy’s greatest work the window was designed c1867 to commemorate the death of Preedy’s cousin, Henry Styleman le Strange of Hunstanton Hall. Following a restoration in 2005 the glass was replaced in pristine condition allowing Preedy’s work to be admired in all of its glory.
The apex of window contains the ‘Crown of Glory’ below which the tracery lights depict a heavenly host of angels holding banners and playing instruments.
In the main lights Preedy has used a device called typology, which was very popular in medieval times, whereby Old Testament events are seen as anticipating those of the New Testament. Thus for example he produces a scene from the Old Testament story of Abraham being ordered by God to sacrifice his only son Isaac which is clearly linked to New Testament scene of Christ’s crucifixion. Similarly both Elijah and Christ are depicted ascending to Heaven. The following scenes are represented:
First column. Top to bottom:
1. The soldiers arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemene
2. Peter, James & John sleep as Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemene
3.Jesus offers the cup of wine to his disciples during the Last Supper.
Second column. Top to bottom:
1. Jacob’s dream at Bethel where he sees a stairway to Heaven
2. Joseph is taken from the well to be sold to the Ishmaelites
3. Moses makes a bronze serpent. Anyone bitten by a snake who looked at it was cured.
Third column. Top to bottom:
1.The Ascencion
2.The Resurrection
3.The Crucifixion.
Fourth Column. Top to bottom:
1. Elijah, watched by Elisha, ascends to Heaven in a whirlwind
2. Jonah emerges from the whale (large fish)
3. Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac.
Fifth Column
1. The meal at Emmaus on Easter Day
2. Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene in the garden outside the tomb
3. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus lay Jesus’ body in a new tomb.

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of 31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force.
A week after enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children: Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill).
The wider collection of glass plate negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).
You are welcome to use the images for study and personal research purposes. Please acknowledge as Courtesy of the Rodoni Archive, University of Newcastle (Australia)" For commercial requests you must obtain permission by contacting Cultural Collections.

Lybrecht's effigy must have been made some years after his death in December 1484. Maybe his wife, Katelijne Pinnock, who died in 1512, while executing his testament, ordered the erection of his church monument.
Lybrecht wears an armour of the early 16th century with a remarkable large haute piece on the left pauldron, maybe an indication that it's a tournament armour.
He wears a fashionable long mail skirt under another shorter mail skirt, although there's no indication of the suggestion of mail. Proof of the skirts being of mail is his mail standard which doesn't show that indication either.
Both couters are laced with points, and both tassets are worn higher up on the short fauld, just like in the English fashion of the day. Bear-paw sabatons cover his feet.
A close-helmet lies next to his right foot, gauntlets beside his left foot.
Note how Lybrecht's feet rest on a church bench and not on an animal. That's pretty unique in its kind, the same goes for his eyes which are depicted closed, as if he were dead instead of eternally alive.
Under the bench we see the arms of Proest de Melin (under the helmet) and of Kerbeecke. In the left corner of the slab we see the arms of Opwinde (with the lion) and on the right those of Meldert. These are the arms of his grandparents.
Lybrecht, who lived in nearby Leuven, was a member of the Council of Brabant (1456-1463) and several times mayor of Leuven.
The inscription says: "+ hier leght begraeve joncker lybrecht van meldert in synder tit heere tot meldert tot buedinghen tot vroedelinghen en erfvoecht van raetshoeven ende wylen raetsheere hertoeghen ph(ilip)s va(n) bourgo(ignen ende) brabant hy sterf int jaer ons heeren M IIIIc L XXX IIII XXII daeghe in decembry bidt voer die siele."

Peter Paul Rubens, Siegen 1577 - Antwerpen 1640
Aufnahme Mariens in den Himmel - The Assumption of the Virgin (ca. 1625)
National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
As recounted in the New Testament's Apocrypha, Jesus' mother was physically raised (assumed) to heaven after her death. A choir of angels lifts Mary's body upward in a dramatic spiraling motion toward a burst of divine light. The twelve apostles gather around her tomb. Some raise their hands in awe; others reach down to touch her discarded shroud. The three holy women are probably Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary's two sisters. The kneeling woman holds a flower, referring to the blossoms that miraculously filled the empty coffin.
In 1611, the cathedral at Antwerp announced a competition for an Assumption altar. On February 16, 1618, Rubens submitted two models. He finished the huge altarpiece on September 30, 1626. Thus, fifteen years elapsed between the beginning and conclusion of this project. The cathedral needed the time to complete a majestic marble frame.
This oil sketch is probably a replica of Rubens' original modello, which is now in the Mauritshuis, in The Hague. The Hague study has livelier, more spontaneous brushwork, and it is arched at the top, reflecting the marble frame of the cathedral altarpiece.

The spire of St Mary's is one of the tallest in England and for over 500 years it has dominated the skyline of Shrewsbury's old town. The church is now the only complete medieval church in Shrewsbury.
It dates from Saxon times and has beautiful additions from the 12th-Century onwards. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful with the soaring stone arches giving way to the church's great treasure - its stained glass. There are panels in glorious colour including the famous 14th-Century 'Jesse window' filled with figures of Old Testament kings and prophets, and scenes from the life of St Bernard - a Medieval cartoon strip that shows him ridding flies from an abbey, riding a mule and curing the sick. No other church in the country has a collection to equal it. Warmth and richness is also provided by superb Victorian coloured tiles on the floor; and lifting your eyes upwards, you will see the wonderful 15th-Century carved oak ceiling of the nave, with a profusion of animals, birds and angels.
Interpretation panels, friendly stewards, and the 1403 café all guaranteed to provide a fantastic visit. St Mary's is in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust saving historic churches for future generations to enjoy. originalshrewsbury.co.uk/visit/st-marys-church
Shrewsbury, situated on on the River Severn, is a large market town and the county town of Shropshire.
The town centre has a largely-unspoilt medieval street plan and over 660 listed buildings, including several examples of timber framing from the 15th and 16th centuries. Shrewsbury Castle, a red sandstone fortification, and Shrewsbury Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery, were founded in 1074 and 1083 respectively by the Norman Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery. The town is the birthplace of Charles Darwin and is where he spent 27 years of his life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrewsbury
Shropshire (/ˈʃrɒpʃər, -ʃɪər/; alternatively Salop; abbreviated, in print only, Shrops; demonym Salopian /səˈloʊpiən/ sə-LOH-pee-ən, Welsh: Swydd Amwythig) is a county in England, bordering Wales to the west, Cheshire to the north, Staffordshire to the east, and Worcestershire and Herefordshire to the south. Shropshire Council was created in 2009, a unitary authority taking over from the previous county council and five district councils. The borough of Telford and Wrekin has been a separate unitary authority since 1998 but continues to be included in the ceremonial county.
Rome. The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius
Andrea Pozzo, a Jesuit lay brother, painted the grandiose fresco that stretches across the nave ceiling (after 1685).[8] It celebrates the work of Saint Ignatius and the Society of Jesus in the world presenting the saint welcomed into paradise by Christ and the Virgin Mary and surrounded by allegorical representations of all four continents. Pozzo worked to open up, even dissolve the actual surface of the nave's barrel vault illusionistically, arranging a perspectival projection to make an observer see a huge and lofty cupola (of a sort), open to the bright sky, and filled with upward floating figures. A marble disk set into the middle of the nave floor marks the ideal spot from which observers might fully experience the illusion. A second marker in the nave floor further east provides the ideal vantage point for the trompe l'oeil painting on canvas that covers the crossing and depicts a tall, ribbed and coffered dome. The cupola one expects to see here was never built and in its place, in 1685, Andrea Pozzo supplied a painting on canvas with a perspectival projection of a cupola. Destroyed in 1891, the painting was subsequently replaced. Pozzo also frescoed the pendentives in the crossing with Old Testament figures: Judith, David, Samson, and Jaele.
Devotion through the Centuries...
The Goddess of Mercy Temple
Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling, George Town.
Opening hours: 6:00am to 8:00pm daily.
The yellow-stained walls of this ancient temple bears testament to some 200 years of pious devotion. The little dragons perched on the ornate temple roofs have seen the worst of storms and the hottest of days yet the colours of these “ceramic guardians” have not lost its luster.
Huge bells that rival even those of Notre Dame tell of the temple’s glory while fearsome stone dragons and lions stand guard over the holy sanctuary and its devotees.
Although the temple along Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling is actually called Kong Hock Keong or the Kwangtung Hokkien Temple, few people refer to it as such. It is better known as Kuan Im Teng or Goddess of Mercy Temple among both devotees as well as Penangites of other faiths.
The land where the temple sits was a gift from the East India Company to the early Chinese settlers here. Originally dedicated to Ma Chor Po - a patron deity seafarers and an incarnation of Kuan Im, the temple also houses other deities including the Tua Pek Kong (God of Prosperity), Kshitagarbha Buddha, Hu Ye (Tiger God), Tai Suey (God of the Year) and Boddhisattva Wei Tuo.
During the 1800s, it was among the most magnificent Chinese structures in northern Malaya, boasting of both Cantonese and Hokkien elements in its construction.
On her three birthdays (devotees of the Goddess of Mercy celebrate the 19th day of the second, sixth and ninth months of the Chinese lunar calendar as it is believed that her birthdays fall on these dates), devotees from all over the region will converge here to mark the special occasion and also to seek her blessings.
During these days, Chinese opera troupes would be engaged to perform for the deities for several days. These are the best times for foreigners to visit and pay their respects at the temple but please practice restraint and courtesy when taking photographs. At any given time, Kuan Im’s birthdays draw in hundreds of people jostling to get inside the temple with their joss sticks and offerings so please be mindful of your belongings and do not push!
The temple is also busy during the Chinese New Year period when people come to pray for good luck and prosperity for the coming year.
Constructed in accordance to Feng Shui principles, the temple has three wells – one on the right side of the main shrine, another outside the temple and the third hidden under the main altar of the Goddess of Mercy. The water from the wells is believed to be able to cure illnesses.
During the Japanese Occupation, many lives were saved as people ran into the temple to seek shelter from the bombings. Miraculously, when the Japanese invaded Penang, many buildings were damaged but the Kuan Im Teng was spared from destruction.

A chair is not merely a place to sit; for the man of purpose and vision, it becomes a throne—a testament to authority, discipline, and the weight of responsibility. To lead is not to simply occupy a position, but to embody it, to carry its burden with unshakable resolve and deliberate action.
In the quiet solitude of such a moment, the true essence of command is revealed. The polished boots resting firmly on the wooden floor echo a life spent in unyielding discipline. The gloved hands, clasped with precision, reflect control not only over the external but also over the self. The uniform, immaculately tailored, speaks of a legacy defined by order, duty, and the enduring pursuit of excellence.
Leadership is more than the decisions made in grand halls or amidst the din of battle; it is in the stillness of moments like this, where reflection sharpens resolve, and strategy is forged. The surroundings—a study steeped in tradition, with its polished wood, leather-bound volumes, and the quiet hum of history—serve as a reminder of the legacy one upholds and the future one shapes.
For the man who commands, even the act of sitting becomes an assertion of dominance, a silent proclamation of control and authority. It is in such moments that the leader not only plans for tomorrow but ensures that every action aligns with the principles of honor, discipline, and unrelenting determination.
How do you embody your authority in moments of stillness? How do you prepare yourself for the weight of decisions that define your path?

A Dream becomes Reality
(God Speaking To Anne Terri Through The Holy Spirit)
I love Preparing Perfect Timing Surprises for Anne and Carlo. Several days ago, We Announced to Our followers online, that there would be intermittent Internet connections for a week, as the provider is working on the line.
This morning they awakened early to be able to spend a few moments online and check their email. Anne was anxious to view the teaser trailer for a film currently in production under the working title of Dark Air Movie, that Carlo had backed for her, as We are currently interacting behind the scenes with those who are a part of this film, which is one for the adults, those who loved Gremlins. Yes it's that time of the year, Halloween.
This film includes a puppeteer, who's from the days of Jim Henson's Muppets, and is also performing in a great children's series for BBC - The Furchester Hotel, as Uncle Furgus. I Am Delighted with his new project, a film destined to please children both young and old. This is Andrew Spooner, whose career spans many years of puppeteer performances and teaching of the art.
We are also Sharing amazing projects from the past, through Makmusic.blog, written by Mak Wilson a Puppeteerwho has retired from the film and TV industry now focusing on writing his memoirs and music for the historical purpose of sharing his roots. If you've seen the film 'BABE' or 'The Return to Oz, you've see only a small portion of his work. He's also a part of The Furchester Hotel in Season 1 as Harvey P. Dull.
We are busily Interacting with them, to keep the spirits up, for there is so much happening behind the scenes in relation to Kermit the frog and Puppeteer Steve Whitmire. We want to keep the quality of children's entertainment at a high level, for it's Paramount to the future.
So much has happened over the past months, but allow Me first to Share with you the Dream I Sent Anne five days ago. For this Dream, We begin a new section in our Dreams area named Raising The Faith-Helping Others. Most of the Dreams and Visions Documented, are for the building of The Third Testament. Anne, also place this in Our Rainbow Miracles, and in My Film Reviews area.

Raisin Faith-Helping Others
Anne Terri's Dream: Waterspouts and A Rainbow
In this dream, she found herself standing on the beach facing the sea, and thinking about Steve Whitmire's plight, and saw before her a line of dark clouds. From this line of clouds she witnessed several waterspouts beginning to form to reach downward to the sea. They were interrupted for suddenly, along the horizon where the sea meets the water line, she saw a vivid rainbow in the distance, just behind the storm. She shut her eyes at them moment, and even in the darkness the rainbow remained for her to see. She found this amazing.
AMEN”
“October 30, 2017 God's Transcript: The Rainbow Connection
(God Speaking To Anne Terri Through The Holy Spirit)
I Held this Dream for Official Documentation until now, for yesterday We Shared it in a private area for those who are a part of Muppet Pundit, Steve Whitmire's site, to help the supporters who are waiting for his next blog, as he has much business to attend to.
Today, after I Gave Anne My Directives for this morning, she lost Internet Connection, thus I Prompted her to go to the grocery at this time. When she stepped out from the apartment building, she noted rain drops on the street. She turned to her right and saw the most brilliant of rainbows over the building before her.
She ran back into the house and grabbed the camera, and came back outside to run up to the promenade by the sea. The rainbow now as in her dream was over the water, but the cloud line had two water spouts forming but there was a unique bright blue area between the clouds where the rainbow continued it's full arc. The photos show you how wide this was for now it's as if her dream rainbow had grown to fill the entire skyscape.
The meaning of this is to Raise your Faith for everything for those whom We are Assisting, if they Believe in Me, will have a way to find their Rainbow Connection even at the worst of times.
Go forward with this in mind, and always find the good in all you have accomplished and will accomplish in the futures. Keep in mind also that Life is Eternal, and no woe is permanent.
Please enjoy the rainbow photographs Anne took in the rain.
AMEN”

De Gelijkenis van de Barmhartige Samaritaan is een verhaal in het Nieuwe Testament van de Bijbel, verteld door Jezus.
In het verhaal weigeren eerst twee hooggeplaatste Joden (een priester en een Leviet) om hun handen vuil te maken om een slachtoffer van een geweldsmisdrijf langs de kant de weg te helpen, maar later blijkt een Samaritaan (een door de Joden geminacht volk destijds) wel hulpvaardig. Wat met deze gelijkenis moet worden overgebracht is dat telt wat iemand doet, niet wat hij is. En niet alleen de letter van de wet, ook de geest van de wet moet worden nageleefd, is de stelling. (Evangelie naar Lucas 10:25-37)

More than a million people converged on a farm outside Bloemfontein in South Africa on April 22, 2017 for a National Day of Prayer. The gathering was called in response to a video that went viral on social media where a farmer called on evangelist, Angus Buchan, to call the nation to prayer. In the message he said: If you call it, we will come. Buchan answered the call and the meeting was organized in just 6 weeks.
Using a verse from the Old Testament, 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says - If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land - Buchan called the people of South Africa to repent of their sin and call on God for mercy. The people answered the call.
1.7 million people signed up to attend the national day of prayer marketed as IT'S TIME. Held on former South African Springbok Rugby player, Ollie Le Roux's farm 4 km North of Bloemfontein, roads to the venue from all directions were at a standstill by 6 am for the meeting that was due to start at 12 noon. Nobody knows exactly how many actually arrived on April 22, 2017, but estimates are that it was certainly over a million and perhaps upwards of 1.5 million. The crowd continued to swell throughout the morning and the meeting started just before 2 pm to allow time for people to arrive.
Significantly Buchan led the crowd in a prayer of repentance for racism and negativity about South Africa and prayed for release for those gripped by fear. Together South Africans of all colours prayed for an end to violence, rape, murder, adultery and other evils and for a God-fearing government to rise in the nation. As Buchan prayed for the wind of the Spirit to blow upon the nation a breeze blew across the gathered crowd, and dust devils blew across the crowd, one blowing across the front of the stage, a sound that could be heard in the microphones. Buchan said this was no coincidence, but a "God-incidence", indicating it was a sign of God's favour in hearing the prayers of the people.

Shortly about me:
It’s my passion to create stories and bring back pictures of events, people and places that are rarely seen. It’s a combination of exploration, exposition and artistry that together create a life of adventure and excitement.
In my work it is imperative for me that information be accurate and the images must be respectful of the subject and viewer. My goal is to combine creativity with practicality to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines.
