This was not a long hike by any means and it was a quiet place as we didn't even see another person the whole time. Just my type of falls!! This is 2 blended images to keep focus sharp!! Thanks for having a look.. Kris
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily. And the theme at Smile on Saturday is carved art pieces. I wish I could tell that I’m very good at carving stuff but unfortunately this not the case. I have no carving talent what os ever… I tried to carve something out of soap once and I almost lost 3 fingers… I’m very clumsy and the situation gets even worst when I manipulate sharp objects…
So for today’s picture we have a small wooden elephant and an exemple of my carving talent. I carved this pencil with my initials (I tried to make a heart but it was way more difficult, so I sticked to straight lines …) all by myself !! The elephant is part of my personal collection of elephants. And if I remember right, it was a gift from my aunt. He is very stubborn and he like to push on things with his trunk… Also he is a drinker so dont let him near your drink or it will disappear in no time ! But other than that he is very smart and funny. He was carved from a very hard wood, which makes him almost unbreakable… After all, he survived in my house for so many years....
I wish you all a beautiful day !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Smile on Saturday ~ Carved Art Pieces
Sadly I have no idea where I got this tiny box from but a label on the bottom says, 'Holy Land Stone'.

The full circle starts in a garden, ends in a garden, a bit of HDR to give it all umph, for the slide! Got to get your hands dirty to clear the mind!
Lichtenberg Mountain and Lake Valhalla from the top of Mount McClausland. I did go down to the lake after this first portion of the hike, but there were so many over night campers down there just waking up that I didn't want to disturb them, so I left quietly.
This is named the altar and around one can see carved old norse runes and newer names or initials
Still some more from the manmade cave, believed to be carved out by celtic munks some time before norse settlement in Iceland
I had such fun shooting this photo together with my dear old friend Uma and yes it's the time of the year..evil nights together.You are the sweetest,thank you for the song I love it!💓

Ezekiel 40:42 “There were four tables carved from stone for the burnt offering, each one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit high, on which the instruments are laid for slaughtering burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
The Dilwara Temples or Delvada Temples
are located about 2 1⁄2 kilometres from the Mount Abu settlement, Rajasthan's only hill station.
These Jain temples were built by Vimal Shah and designed by Vastupala, Jain minister of Dholka, between the 11th and 16th centuries and are famous for their use of white marble and intricate marble carvings.

For the Smile on Saturday group - them "Sphere on Black"
This is a carved sandalwood air freshener which was given to me as a present many years ago, It still smells wonderful to this day. It is just a bit larger than a tennis ball
There are many retired folks living in this area, as well as visiting, and many have very interesting hobbies, crafts and arts. These wood carving are for sale in a large covered area which specializes in selling things like this and other rustic wood workings including furniture. And antiques. Good place for window shopping even if you are NOT a buyer. These carved Indians are given many different personalities and would take up a fair amount of space on your deck. I have my eye on a life sized carved brown bear.
These walls didn't appear to be sandstone, some I'm guessing it took a few years of water traveling past to carve these curved walls into the rock. Oak Creek, West Fork hike
A piece of trash that we keep preciously as a memory. So thin line.
Those are traditional rural leather shoes from Balkans (those ones are from Bosnia). Those are the ones that belonged to my daughter at the age of one year. So the smallest ones made. They were made as tourist souvenir but she wear
them until hole was made.
SWEDEN
In 1901 the drawing were approved for a new Church,which would relieve St.Peter`s and St.Paul`s parishes,where the population growth was large.Construction started in 1903,with a planned completion date of 1906,which was when St.John`s Parish was founded .The Church was finally inaugurated by Bishop Gottfrid Billing on Holy Teinity Day,june 1907.Designed in the Art Noveau style by Axsel Anderberg.
Tower height: 60,2m.Height to ceiling 26,13m. Length of Church 52,27m.
Both externally and internally,the Church is adorned with roses cut and carved by hand,which is why it is called "The Church of Roses".The are more than 1,000 roses in the Church.
Despite being a substantial village before the Norman Conquest, the description of Alwalton in the Doomsday Book makes no mention of a church. However, they were certain that there was a church a century later because the earliest parts of the present building date back from 1170 and were clearly the extension of an existing building.
This 1170 work (the first two bays of the north aisle with their solid piers, round arches and skilfully carved leaf volute capitals) is not only the most ancient part of the church, it is also the most beautiful.
During the early 13th century the church was considerably extended. The tower was built and the nave lengthened by the insertion of an extra bay at the west end and widened by adding a south aisle. It seems likely that the wonderful carving around the west door was also carried out at this time but it could have been earlier, having been moved from another part of the church.
With the completion of the 13th century work the church became much as we see it today, except for the transepts and chancel. But things might have been very different if plans to rebuild the church around 1300 had been successful. At that time work began on the construction of a central tower along with a high vaulted chancel and vaulted transept. Inexplicably, after about 30 years, the work ceased. The partly completed tower was taken down and only the chancel and transepts remain from this grandiose plan.
During the next 500 years there was only one major alteration and this took place during the 15th century. The nave walls were raised to form a clearstory and the church was re-roofed. Adding the clearstory involved building new arches at the crossing and it was at this time that the 13th century vaulting in the chancel and transepts was destroyed. Traces of the vaulting can still be seen on several walls but we can only imagine how splendid the building would now be if this magnificent ceiling had survived.
By the middle of the 19th century the church had fallen in to a sorry state and extensive repairs were begun in 1840
