English: "The Salvation Army",
The Salvation Army (TSA) is a Protestant Christian church and an international charitable organization headquartered in London, England that is aligned with the Wesleyan-Holiness movement. The organisation reports a worldwide membership of over 1.7 million,[3] comprising soldiers, officers and adherents collectively known as Salvationists. Its founders sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and hungry by meeting both their "physical and spiritual needs". It is present in 133 countries,[4] running charity shops, operating shelters for the homeless and disaster relief, and humanitarian aid to developing countries.
The theology of the Salvation Army is derived from Methodism, although it is distinctive in institution and practice. A distinctive characteristic of the Salvation Army is its use of titles derived from military ranks, such as "lieutenant" or "major". It does not celebrate the rites of Baptism and Holy Communion. However, the Army's doctrine is aligned with the Wesleyan–Arminian tradition, particularly the holiness movement. The Army's purposes are "the advancement of the Christian religion... of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole".[5]
The Army was founded in 1865 in London by one-time Methodist preacher William Booth and his wife Catherine as the East London Christian Mission, and can trace its origins to the Blind Beggar tavern.
The Salvation Army is one of the world's largest providers of social aid, with expenditures including operating costs of $2.6 billion in 2004, helping more than 32 million people in the U.S. alone. In addition to community centres and disaster relief, the organisation does work in refugee camps, especially among displaced people in Africa. In the United Kingdom, the Salvation Army is no longer the largest nongovernmental provider of social services; however, it still provides a significant service to people in need. The Salvation Army is the fourth largest charity in the United States, with private donations in excess of $2 billion in 2022,[9] and is a member of the American organisation Christian Churches Together.
"There is no reason good enough for us to ever be out of alignment with Peace, and there is no reason good enough for us to ever be out of alignment with Love."

Originaire de l'éruption du volcan de Jonas, le site s’est formé de plusieurs cônes alignés sur une longue fissure. Toutes les grottes ont été creusées par les hommes, dont les premiers furent les Celtes en 400 av. J.-C. La construction s’est poursuivie jusqu’au Moyen Âge vers le XIIIe siècle. La falaise fait 500 mètres de long sur 100 m de haut et la partie Est était habitée par le seigneur alors que la partie Nord était occupée par les villageois et les animaux. Composé d’environ 70 pièces aménagées dans le tuf sur cinq étages, ce village pouvait abriter 600 personnes composées de moines, militaires et paysans.
Originating from the eruption of the Jonas Volcano, the site formed from several cones aligned on a long fissure. All the caves were dug by men, the first of whom were the Celts in 400 BC. Construction continued until the Middle Ages around the 13th century. The cliff is 500 meters long and 100 m high and the eastern part was inhabited by the lord while the northern part was occupied by villagers and animals. Composed of about 70 rooms arranged in the tuff on five floors, this village could shelter 600 people made up of monks, soldiers and peasants.

DESCRIPTION:
In 2023, Venus in Gemini formed a rare positive grand trine aligning with other planets, which created the perfect opportunity to seek positive changes in our lives which could involve food, health and peace. But we ignored the signs and soon after, life changed forever.
Now, many years into a bleak future, we live in a world where resources are scarce, fashion changed significantly and everyone struggles to get by. During these post-apocalyptic circumstances, a young woman gave birth to twin boys whom she named Pollox and Castor, after the Greek myth of the Gemini sign. Little does she know that these two little boys will grow into the two men that will save this precious earth with their scientific discoveries. And this new discovery, in an even further future, will be made during the exact same positive grand trine from 2023.
But this time, it will not be ignored.

Every day in Rodi Garganico, Apulien Italy, I am admiring on daily basis, amazing sunsets.
I suppose that, (by waking up earlier), I would admire great sunrise too in the Sunrise Beach...

Inside the Sagrada Família, light is more than just illumination – it’s part of the architecture.
Stone, glass, and sunlight are carefully aligned to shape and transform the space.
Those who visit at the right time and pay close attention will notice how the atmosphere changes from minute to minute.
How colors drift through the windows, how shadows redraw the structure – how light brings the building to life.
Many visitors miss this.
Arriving at the wrong time or rushing through, they may only see cold stone.
But those who stay long enough begin to understand how much the light defines the experience of this place.
This image was taken handheld using a five-frame HDR bracket (±2 EV), capturing the full dynamic range of light.
Shot at f/2.8 for optimal sharpness and ideal ISO balance.
Precise alignment was especially difficult handheld – even slight movement breaks the symmetry, and mistakes are hard to spot on the small screen.
