La narradora suele tener diferencias de opinión con su madre que provocan constantes discusiones acaloradas. Pese a todos sus intentos por actuar según las palabras del Señor, por practicar la tolerancia y la paciencia, sigue sin poderse controlar y discutiendo ferozmente con su madre. Preocupada por su incapacidad de controlar sus actos, la narradora únicamente se consuela diciéndose a sí misma que, con el tiempo, su fe en el Señor la librará del pecado y la purificará y que al final será ascendida al reino de los cielos. Solo al leer las palabras de Dios Todopoderoso comprende por fin por qué no puede librarse del pecado y descubre la senda que la conducirá a purificar su corrupción y a entrar en el reino de los cielos.

Le châtelet d’entrée a été transformé en musée et le château Egeskov slot est situé au Egeskov Gade 18, Kværndrup, île de Fionie au Danemark.
Une vue à partir des jardins du château.
Majestueux et privé, le château, débuté au 14e siècle, a été achevé en 1554 sur une île, au milieu d'un lac bordé d'une forêt. Sa construction sur une grande quantité de pilotis de chêne aurait « coûté la vie à toute une forêt de chênes », d'où son nom Egeskov signifiant forêt de chênes. Ce château Renaissance à vocation initialement défensive est passé aux mains des ancêtres de l'actuel propriétaire en 1784. Celui-ci, le comte Ahlefeldt-Laurving-Bille, un grand collectionneur d'engins mécaniques l'habite toujours et le château n'est visitable qu'en partie.
Le château est reconnu en Europe comme le mieux préservé des châteaux Renaissance bâtis sur une île. On y admire notamment la Grande Salle de banquet, restaurée en 1975, et, disséminés ici et là, des trophées de chasse rapportés d'Afrique par l'avant-dernier propriétaire. À proximité, un musée de 3 000 m2, créé par le propriétaire, présente sa collection de voitures anciennes, d'avions, de motos et de voitures à chevaux.
Mais ce sont les jardins privés du domaine de 15 ha, créés au 18e siècle et entourant le château, qui constitue son joyau. Les jardins ont évolué grandement au fil des ans mais le plan date de 1730 lorsque Niels Krag conçut le jardin à la française qui en 1962 fut remplacé par le jardin actuel de style Renaissance par le français Ferdinant Duprat avec ses topiaires en forme de pyramide et de spirales. Un pont-levis datant de la fin du 19e siècle relie le château à une superbe avant-cour où errent des paons blancs. On découvre au-delà une partie des 750 ha de terres cultivées qui font depuis longtemps la fortune d'Egeskov.
Against the black backdrop,
the macro shot of the hazel leaf transforms into a radiant jewel,
its golden hues and delicate veins glowing with the warmth of the autumn sun !!
There’s something deeply transformative about watching the sun gently touch the dunes, as if time slows down to remind us of what truly matters. Every grain of sand holds the memory of ancient winds, movements beyond our control yet shaping us all the same. In this open space, we’re invited to quiet our minds and feel the weight of our footprints, knowing they’ll soon disappear. Life, much like the dunes, is shaped by the unexpected and the fleeting. And maybe that’s what makes it so beautiful: the fact that everything is temporary, but, for a brief moment, entirely ours.
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

Eyelashes have the impressive ability to transform your face. Eyelashes complement the face as does lipstick, however eyelashes may actually even do it more.
Take these [Pink&Love] Oh My Autumn Lashes for example. These EvoX lashes draw a contrast between my eyes and eyelids - just like lipstick draws attention to the contrast between my lips and its surrounding facial features.
Long eyelashes could be flirtatious indicators for men, since we tend to blink more slowly than men do. This soft and fluttering accentuating signal undoubtedly serves us as a means of expressing our attractiveness.
Lipstick has been used for centuries by women all over the world to enhance their appearance, express themselves, and feel more confident. I complemented my looks with SENTINUS BEAUTY Ivana Lipstick to draw attention to my lips by making them look fuller and more defined.
To help remind me of my next date, I am wearing this SO SILLY Interactive Fruity Watch. Like my smart watch in RL, it is very fun to wear since it sequentially rolls through different dial faces.
You can find all the the above referenced beauty products exclusively featured at the SWANK Fall into Autumn Event for November.

Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
The MARTa Museum for contemporary art, located at Herford, Germany.
Architect: Frank Gehry
Built: 2005
With its flowing, tilting walls, the Marta is one of the most unusual museum buildings in the world. The flowing dynamic of the forms resonates in the loose bond of the bricks on the ground, and the wavy roof landscape reflects the adjacent course of the River Aa. This continues inside the museum: as a dynamic volume of space which is practically choreographed, the architecture transforms every exhibition into a unique spatial experience.
On the way back through. A fascinating night walk through Scotland’s largest historical mural inside Colinton Tunnel, Edinburgh.
The disused tunnel was transformed in to an artwork by a team of artists, led by Chris Rutherford, with aid of children from local primary schools.

This two-acre plot of earth at the corner of El Camino Real ("The King's Highway") and Baldwin Street in San Mateo, California is perhaps the most venerable and historic site in the city. For over 150 years (since 1866) it has been the location of the Episcopal Church of St. Matthew, making it the oldest continually-used location in the city.
The devastating 1906 earthquake ruined the 1866 church and its fabulous bell tower. On May 15, 1910, the congregation buried a new cornerstone, containing all the artifacts from the original stone. Under the spiritual guidance of Reverend Neptune Blood William Gallaway, famed church architect Willis Polk engineered the new edifice. Considered one of the most beautiful houses of worship in California, it recalls the 11th century Stokes Poges Church in London, where Thomas Gray reportedly penned the poem "Elegy in a Country Churchyard."

I came across this by accident after walking from the South Bank across the eastern Golden Jubilee Footbridge. Instead of descending at the first set of stairs down to the North Bank I wanderered on along the walkway which continues inside buildings and one descent led to these escalators. It is surprising that such a cool London viewpoint is so little photographed. It is probably because it is such an obscure place to find. Coming from Embankment Station the ground floor entry is about half way up Villiers Street with a sign over for the Arches Shopping Centre. It is immediately before standard stairs marked as an entry to Charing Cross mainline Station which come out at the side of the station rather than being a main entry. Anybody exiting the station to the side would tend to use those stairs rather than going past them to the right to find these escalators. To get the full scene I used 10mm wide angle and got back as far as possible against a pillar. I also used a Tripod as it was quite dim and at its lowest height. No worries about Security Guards objecting to Tripod use as it is too out of the way to be noticed
The picture was taken on a Tripod and with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. I processed with my just acquired Aurora HDR. This is HDR software as good as Photomatix which can also be used to process single RAW images. This is currently available free with the February issue of Digital Camera World Magazine currently in shops. Processing in Photoshop then started with Topaz Clarity and Topaz DeNoise. Then Transform distort to straighten out the top which was a little out of line. Some brightness adjustments were done with layer masks. A Vibrance adjustment layer to bring down the colours a little which were too intense.

I suppose it only fitting that life will take root in the structure itself. You see bricks are made from clay and concrete is made from lime, sand and gravel. So, the trees find a way to latch onto the core materials of the building. As they do, with a helping hand from rain and freezing temretures, the once rock hard building materials return to their soil beginnings, providing more material for nature to take root. Nothing goes to waste.
