it is undoubtedly an unending journey....Yet, it is faith in human that keeps the hope alive...
In such backdrop, the construction of this Cathedral began in the 12th century and took nearly four centuries to complete. Apart from brilliant show of Gothic architecture and ornate interiors, the cathedral was dedicated to St Kentigern (or St Mungo), a Christian missionary, who lived in the area during the 6th century and his tomb is also located there.

Rogue Olympics is back - my favorite contest with 8 rounds, where each builder must use a maximum of 101 parts for each build.
First round's theme is Above the clouds. For some reason the first idea that I had was a scene from The NeverEnding Story movie, where Falkor and Atreyu were flying above the clouds.
The build uses a total of 27 parts.
I have an unending fascination with the Marina Towers Condominiums.

Originally built as UP 3390 in April 1977, this snoot-nosed locomotive spent many years as part of the unending parade of SD40-2's running for Union Pacific on the Overland Route. The "snoot" nose describes that this locomotive was delivered with a longer than normal nose (116" instead of the 81" shorter nose). The extra length was intended to hold Locotrol RC equipment, a predecessor to DPUs. However, UP's experiments with Locotrol were ultimately unsuccessful. Only SD40-2's delivered between 1974 and 1978 received the snoot nose, but few if any actually had the RC equipment installed. About a quarter of UP's present-day roster of SD40's have the snoot nose.
As it got older, UP 3390 was selected as part of UP's SD40-2 Modernization Program at North Little Rock. It received a new cab, new control system, new wiring, PTC, a remanufactured engine, and reconditioned components (generator, traction motors, air compressor, air brake equipment, etc). The locomotive was released in February 2011 from rebuild as UP 1600, having kept its snoot nose.
It's worth noting that while this locomotive is identical to the rest of UP's SD40N fleet, UP didn't start using the SD40N model designation until July 2011 with UP 1629. UP 1600 was released and marked as an SD40-2, though after the SD40N designation was adopted all previous rebuilds (including UP 1600) were re-designated SD40N within UP's computer system.
Here, UP 1600 rests at small Basin Yard on the east side of Houston. No longer in main line freight service, it still sees lots of work in yard & local service around the Bayou City.

There seem to be unending photo opportunities in the Valley of Fire, Nevada.
We spent three days there last December in mostly cold and rainy weather, but the sun popped out from time to time and I managed around 400 shots, some of which reside in my Valley of Fire album.
.................................................
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Valley of Fire State Park is the oldest state park...was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968. It covers an area of almost 42,000 acres and was dedicated in 1935.
It derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs.
These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays.
It's not far from Las Vegas.
Trees keep recurring in my images of the River Dove, reflected in whole or part. I like the strangeness that the water’s movement, and sometimes the breeze, can introduce and the unending permutations that are possible. A small seed has been sown, an idea for a possible new series, which draws on and in a sense connects some of the work that I showed in my brief talk at the On Landscape Meeting of Minds conference. I think that I omitted to say one sentence. When I chose Reflections of Truth for a gallery title, I had in mind the Japanese translation of the word ‘photography’: sha-shin, a copy of truth, or reproduction of reality, and in a play on the phrase, the fact that some truths, while literal, could be distorted and strange. I meant to say that I now see it differently – I have the means at hand and the vision to create my own truths; to explore and to enjoy the art (or whatever else you want to call it) than can be found in water. From the seed came this image.

You are wished unending love, health and abundance, Peggy! You mean so much to me and although we are less than 5 years apart, you have mothered me and been a style icon for me. I miss our photo shoots together, our Scrabble games, eating your delicious pies and meals and just being in your company.

unendlich still liegt der Thingvallavatn-See im Winterlicht
Þingvellir (ˈθiŋkvetlir, deutsch auch Thingvellir) ist ein Ort und ein Nationalpark im Südwesten von Island, etwa 40 km östlich der isländischen Hauptstadt Reykjavík am Nordufer des Sees Þingvallavatn. Der Ort Þingvellir hat besondere Bedeutung für die Geschichte Islands. In einer Grabenbruchzone im Grenzbereich zweier tektonischer Platten gelegen, ist das Gebiet auch geologisch von Bedeutung.
Þingvellir, anglicised as Thingvellir was the site of the Alþiing, the annual parliament of Iceland from 930AD until the last session held at Þingvellir in 1798AD
Das Kunstprojekt "Unendlich still" wird derzeit an sechs evangelischen Friedhöfen in Bayern präsentiert – unter anderem auf dem berühmten Nürnberger Johannisfriedhof.
Über 300 Glocken über den Gräbern
Über 300 filigrane Glöckchen an dünnen Stahlstangen montiert, stehen vor 300 Gräbern. Die Höhe variiert: Je länger der oder die Verstorbene tot ist, desto höher ist der Stab. Diese Installation will auf eine mögliche Reise der Seele verweisen. Mit Glocken, die an Totenglocken erinnern oder jene, die ein freudiges Ereignis ankündigen.

The first thing I noticed last time was how noisy they are. I'd forgotten that. After months of working at home in the kitchen, followed by the long summer break, the unending wall of sound that more than four thousand teenagers makes had almost become a thing of the past. It was a rude awakening.
Tomorrow I'm going to go through the same experience again as England takes its first steps back to business as usual. It's almost three months since my path last crossed those of the students and I'm not entirely sure I'm prepared for the resumption of duties beyond the four walls of home. Apart from anything I'm not certain where my deodorant is. At least an uncharacteristic burst of energy earlier today means that five freshly ironed shirts are ready and waiting upstairs in the bedroom wardrobe for the week ahead. It's just their occupant who seems to be having a problem with the situation. By this time tomorrow I will already be pious, moaning and defeated - in fact I've already started the moaning as you can tell.
So in view of the approaching sensory overload I'm thinking calm thoughts and reminding myself that on the plus side I can enjoy "recreation" outside from tomorrow. My loose interpretation of this is that I can go and stand here and put the camera on the tripod until long into the blue hour once more. Soon the clocks will go forward and it will even be possible to make it to the coast after work in the evenings.
I'd forgotten I'd taken this picture until a couple of days ago when I was plodding through my SSD drive. There's a certain joy in digging about through old images and finding memories. It was the Sunday of a weekend when I'd ended up in this exact same spot for the second consecutive day and my usual immediate employment of my ND filters was brought to a temporary halt by the presence of a small cruiser making its way across St Ives Bay in the direction of Portreath. Those of you who know this place will be aware that calm seas such as this aren't the norm here, the reason why I'd seized upon the opportunity for ultra long exposures the previous day to lose the ripples completely. The scene was completed by a celestial motorway of cloud, which spread itself right across the heavens in front of me, and below the cliff I was standing on a group of seals were providing additional entertainment for anyone who cared to stand here a while. It was an hour of perfect serenity, something I am confidently predicting will not be the case tomorrow morning. At least it's only four weeks until Easter I suppose.
So wish my luck folks. I'm off to dig out the shoe polish and the red wine. Hopefully I won't get them mixed up.
'Sunlight flees before the thundering darkness. The barren landscape sighs with emptiness. And every rock - near and far, every pebble - strewn across this unending desolation, every grain of sand - lying still or blowing in the wind, eagerly awaits to act its part in this eternal play.'

Der Punkt, an dem bestimmte Eigenschaften unendlich werden oder ihre normalen Gesetzmäßigkeiten verlieren.
In einer unendlichen Welt ... Abstrakte Kunst spricht immer noch nur ein bestimmtes Publikum an, obwohl diese Kunstform genau so spannend sein kann wie die Fotografie. Diese Arbeit zeigt ein von mir in „Mandelbulb 3D“ erzeugtes Fraktal, das eine ungewöhnliche Welt, Millionen Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt, zeigt. Beeindruckend sind die Möglichkeiten (wie Lichter, Schatten, Nebel, Farben usw.) der Software. Fraktale entstehen aus der Kombination mathematischer Formeln, die im Ergebnis wunderschöne Grafiken entstehen lassen. Der Fotograf nimmt seine DSLR mit auf Reisen und sucht sich seine Motive. Nicht anderes passiert auf dem Computer, da arbeitet man auch mit einer „Kamera“, mit Farben, Licht, Schatten , Nebel usw. Es ist quasi eine andere Form der Fotographie. Das Ergebnis ist bei CGI und Fotografie das gleiche: es entsteht ein digitales Bild.
Die Arbeit mit Fraktale ist ein Hobby von mir.

In an Infinite World ... Abstract art still appeals only to a specific audience, although this art form can be just as exciting as photography. This work shows a fractal I created in Mandelbulb 3D, that shows an unusual world, millions of light-years from Earth. Impressive are the possibilities (like lights, shadows, fog, colors, etc.) of the software. Fractals arise from the combination of mathematical formulas that result in beautiful graphics. The photographer takes his DSLR with him on the road and looks for his motives. Nothing else happens on the computer, as you work with a "camera", with colors, light, shadow, fog, etc. It is almost a different form of photography. The result is the same with CGI and photography: creating a digital image.
Working with fractals is a hobby of mine.

Der Anblick der Basaltsäulen erinnert mit etwas Fantasie an den Elfenbeinturm von Michael Endes "Unendlicher Geschichte". Wer weiß, vielleicht war er ja schon einmal hier und wurde davon inspiriert.....
The sight of the Basalt columns is a bit reminiscent of the Ivory tower from Michael Endes "Neverending story". Who knows? Maybe he`s been here before and would be inspired...

Thanks for all views and comments to get explored!
Hello friends,
I'm back from a wonderful journey, arrived yesterday late in the evening. Thank's to all that visited my stream during the last weeks. I'll try to catch up now. Coming from the summer to a dull grey and weather and the beauty of scandinavia is not easy for me. Have a great day!

Or the not so un-ending corridor on board a ferry. It all depends on how you see it. This one took me from Trelleborg (Sweden) to Travemünde (Germany). The boat. Not the corridor. That just got me to my cabin.
Merton’s entire life was an unending search for what is real and the true, not just in books but in living experience and practice. Truth for him was not just knowledge in the head. It was love in the heart. Therefore, he especially sought to know and experience what he later called his True Self—the God-Self within each person.
