Opened in 1867, Dieweg cemetery served as the municipal burial ground until the Second World War and was definitively decommissioned in 1958. It is a testament to the peak of funerary art, when the great families erected veritable architectural works of art for their deceased loved ones, sometimes in the form of chapels (such as the “Allard Chapel” and its family vault, considered the biggest private funerary monument in Belgium). All the styles in vogue at the time are represented, starting with the “neo” or revival styles (Egyptian, Greek, Romanesque, Gothic, Classical, etc.), followed by Eclecticism and Art Nouveau and ending with Art Deco.
Happy Windmill Wednesday!
This lot certainly was broken-in and worn, from the barn, to the wagon to the windpump.
What is odd, is that the wind pump appears to be leaning yet the barn, and the water pipe on the wind pump are actually straight vertically.
The Royal Cement Plant has an interesting history. Originally built in Iowa in 1954, it was purchased and moved to its current location in 1985 for $500,000 by a one Aldo DiNardo. It cost another $500,000 just to transport it. DiNardo then spent the next ten years rebuilding and trying to bring the plant up to EPA standards, which he claimed wasn't necessary since the plant had originally been built before the current EPA rules.
DiNardo was fined by the EPA and currently owes $70,000 in back emissions fees and late charges and $94,000 in penalties. Yet, after sinking over 12 million into the plant and never making any real money, DiNardo claimed that he wanted to reopen the plant, insisting he could make it profit.
On July 1, 1999 a fatal accident occurred at the plant, caused mostly by aging equipment. An electrician was electrocuted when he contacted an energized 4160 volt cable inside the crusher and finish grinding transformer. The flicker switches in the interrupter switches for the transformer were defective in that they did not open when the switch was tripped due to an accumulation of dust and dirt. With the switches stuck in the closed position, power was inadvertently supplied to the 4160 volt transformer. The Royal Cement Company was ordered to pay just $5,000 in fines.
In 2003 the BLM discovered that the plant was essentially occupying on public lands illegally, as DiNardo failed to pay fees of $1,300 to maintain his mining claims to the area in 2002. The voiding of the claims was never appealed, and DiNardo's plan of operations were revoked.

Most People are hiding behind a Mask

They take off the Mask

Sometimes our biggest battle is the inability to see that we are broken. We can't be fixed until we acknowledge our brokenness. He asked for some loose change, instead I gave him a few dollars. His eyes and body language reflected his acknowledgment of where he was. If I had never experienced brokenness, it would have been easy to ignore him and look down on his plight.

"It's not your wings that are broken
it's just confidence you lack"
I turned around and looked
to check out my wings
they looked so torn
those pitiful things
"I'll catch you" she said
if you start to fall
"just yell out my name"
and I'll hear your call

The Aulne monastery (Abbaye d'Aulne) was once a Benedictine and then a Cistercian monastery - and now it is mostly in ruins. It was founded already in 637 and came under Cistercian rule in 1147. The monastery had many ups and downs, with its last golden era in the 18th century. But the monastery was sacked by French revolutionaries in 1794 and turned to ruins.
Looked out of the bedroom window on Saturday morning to see a sparrowhawk on the lawn tearing into its prey. All that remains are a few scattered feathers. This cluster 1.5" inches long.

Unleash the fury of my heart.
One good thing about being destroyed emotionally by someone is that I am unusually creative and avid about photography for awhile.
All this pain caused by a boy's weakness....this is what I get for giving him a chance and going through hell for it.
faith, hope, and love.
the first is broken, the last is torn.
the middle? all i have.
It's a Thai thing. When a buddha image is chipped or broken, they would replace it and leave the old one at a temple under a tree somewhere.

Broken, just like my computer! I haven't posted much because I don't have any of my editing programs on my laptop. I will kiss my desktop all over when it returns home to me:)
A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.
This is my final fit,
my final bellyache
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.
No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please.
