Great example of a WWII 700-series wood temporary building chapel that has been moved and reutilized. I couldn't find any information on this one, but it must have been moved from the nearby Camp San Luis Obispo.
A tour guide standing at observation area 3, at the end of the 300m long walkway on which visitors of Battleship Island are allowed to walk along, seen through the semi-collapsed building that housed the coal finishing factory.
It snowed here overnight and is still snowing at 10:00 am this morning. We were all hoping that the last of the ice everywhere would get the chance to melt completely before any fresh snow fell to hide the ice. Looks like about 4" of the white stuff has accumulated so far. The temperature is -14C (windchill -19C) but it's supposed to get up to -11C (windchill -16C) this afternoon. We have been so spoilt for weeks now, with temperatures that have been wonderfully mild for mid winter.
This photo was taken on 11 January 2015, when I called in at Fish Creek Park again for some fresh air and, hopefully, find a friend or two. I was lucky with both. It was a Sunday and a lot of photographers had gathered to watch and photograph this tiny, popcan-sized Northern Pygmy-owl.
I was impressed that all the photographers were very respectful of this tiny owl. Since then, there was one day when a couple of photographers with huge lenses were breaking and damaging the bushes because they wanted to get much closer to the owl's tree. Mind you, apart from a couple of very brief, low landings in bushes, the tiny owl stayed perched extremely high in tall trees. Thankfully, it was still within my camera reach and we were all lucky enough to see it perched in a variety of places. Bright blue sky completed the picture, unlike the day before, which had been overcast and gloomy. In this photo, we were treated to a short preening session that resulted in a temporarily puffed ball of feathers.
Later; I've added a previously posted photo from 2011 in a comment box below, showing a Northern Pygmy-owl in compressed mode.
"Lean On Me / Stick House Series 3" by Patti Deters. Created in 2012 by artist Patrick Dougherty, this sculpture is titled "Lean on Me" and represents community - five little rooms close together leaning on each other so the entire structure can stand tall. Built by volunteers, it is located in a field in Collegeville, Minnesota near St. John's University in Stearns County. Also known as "The Dr. Seuss House". The temporary structure is starting to show signs of being in the elements and will eventually be taken down for safety reasons.

"Yes, its cramped, and the rations are awful. But hey, the pay is competitive, and the pension ain't no laughing matter."
While originally intended to withstand the frigid winds on the poles, all of LICHO Corp's Temporary Research Stations (TRS) were designed back on earth, and therefore unable to properly function in the Hibernian tundra. After multiple failures involving the lives of several research crews, most of the TRS's were moved to warmer, less icy parts of the moon . While the pay is better while working in a TRS, a "promotion" is more accurately a punishment. Extreme isolation isn't good for anyone.
This creation looks rather nice sitting on my desk! It’ll be there till tomorrow, until it’s destroyed like all my creations, though that’s usually right after it’s been uploaded. Oh well—fun while it lasted.

While the Bible, liturgy and reading of the Fathers are essential for the monastic life of contemplation, Merton tells us they are meant to bring us to “encounter the life-giving and creative Spirit who, in full continuity with the ‘old,’ is able to ‘make all things new’ and indeed to fuse the old and the new in an original and entirely creative unity” (113). Whether one is a monk, a lay member of the Church or a seeker responding to Merton’s ever-broadening ecumenical outreach, he would have us open up to an ever-new and more living sense of the life of the Spirit in our world today. This invitation is as challenging now as it ever was.
