My grandfather Reuben S. Horst took this photo in Celles, Belgium in 1948.
Celles is a village in the municipality of Houyet in the province of Namur, Belgium. It is also the farthest point that the German Army advanced during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II.
I believe the sign reads, translated from French, Here is where the Rundstedt-Offensive, was halted on December 24, 1944
Today this Panther G tank still sits in this same spot. Here is some information I discovered about the tank from doing a little searching on line.
The Celles Panther was part of the German Army Kampfgruppe von Cochenhausen, 2nd Panzer Division. On 21st December Panzer Lehr battle group was pulled out of the fight for Bastogne and regrouped with 2nd Panzer Division and the 116th Panzer Division Windhund for an assault on the town of Dinant to secure the crossing over the river Meuse. It fought its way through the town of St Hubert and the road to Dinant seemed open. Rochefort was taken on 23rd December 1944.
On the 24th December 1944 the advanced column of Panther tanks approached the junction of the N510 road with the N48. The local story is that the German's asked at the cafe if the road to Dinant was open, had vehicles been using it recently. The staff said it was mined and dangerous so the Panzer V commander decided to go through the fields. This Panzer V Ausf. G was the lead tank. It drove over a mine and was put out of action in the field below the Chateau Acteau.
It was left there for some time after the war. The Americans tested anti tank weapons on it. American Army engineers stripped it to try and make it lighter but they could not get it out of the field. It was during this period that the hatches, tracks and road wheels were removed. The Panther had ejectable hatches, so the crew would eject them and leave them on the ground. The cafe owner Marthe Monrique rescued the tank from the field in 1948 and put in pride of place next to the Cafe called "Le Tank" at the crossroads, as a monument.
A little more on the battle around Celles. When Panzer Lehr resumed its advance to Dinant it ran into the combat command A of the US 2nd Armored Division near Buissonville. On Christmas Day the protective winter thick cloud cover disappeared and the full force of the Allies air power was deployed, bringing the Panzer Divisions to a virtual standstill. The majority of 2nd Panzer's tanks, under Major Ernst von Cochenhausen had become surrounded near the town of Celles.
On 26th of December the rest of Panzer Lehr made two attempts to relieve them but they were turned back by allied fighter bombers. Cochenhausen and 600 or so of his men managed to escape on foot, having been forced to abandon all of the Division's tanks and equipment to the advancing Allies.
Everyone shouldn’t be for you, and you can’t be for everyone. Only the few that are willingly to pay attention to your individuality can only be your connection of truth.

"What is mankind that you are mindful of them, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet." In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
Hebrews 2:6-8
THE SUPREMACY OF JESUS CHRIST
Today we hear from co-worker, Jan Vermeer:
The inspired writer of the book of Hebrews says that everything was put in subjection under Jesus Christ (2:8). Does His supremacy actually show in the country of North Korea—full of idols, hunger and death camps?
The North Korean Church consists of 200,000 to 400,000 members. Fiercely persecuted, all of them hide their beliefs from the authorities. The church is truly an underground church, divided into thousands of small networks and cell groups. Most Christians hardly know other Christians outside their families. In case of an arrest, not many other Christians are in danger. The most visible proof of their faith is the possession of a Bible, which is illegal and punishable by death. Probably nowhere else in the world are so many copies of God's Word literally hidden underground!
But the church is definitely growing. Many Christians keep their faith secret and are surviving. Open Doors is able to support Christians with Bibles, books, training, food, clothes and medicine. Yet it is the individual tragedies that make it difficult to see, with spiritual eyes, that Jesus Christ is supreme even in North Korea.
For example, a middle-aged man was arrested after the police found a Bible in his home. He is being terribly beaten in prison, as we learn from released prisoners who witnessed it. "His face is deformed. He told us he is certain he will die."
How can Christ be supreme if one of his disciples is tortured so severely? I've known this man for a long time," says a Christian friend of the prisoner. "When he came to faith, he made the decision that one day he would die for Christ. Every Christian in North Korea has made that choice. Every Christian in my country has the spirit of martyrdom in him. If you lose that spirit for one second, you cannot carry the burden of being a follower of Jesus. My friend knew that one day he could get caught, and on that day he had to be steadfast in the faith and loyal to Jesus. I am convinced he can take the suffering because he constantly reminds himself of the joy that is set before him."
The suffering North Korean Christians reveal Christ's supremacy because they look at the reward: Jesus Christ Himself. He is our Treasure. He calls us to Himself, to suffer outside the gate and bear the reproach He endured (Hebrews 13:12-14). The kingdom of the Kims is limited in size and time. The Kingdom of our Lord is eternal and will come with power!
RESPONSE
I will rejoice in the supremacy of Jesus Christ, my Lord, over everything and everyone.
PRAYER
Lord, I too rejoice in the joy set before me with You. Keep me steadfast, faithful and loyal.

The Ash Street Jail
New Bedford, MA
January 6th, 2016
The oldest continuously working jail in the United States.
The Ash Street Jail and Regional Lock-Up, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, is a jail for inmates who are awaiting trial from Bristol County, MA.
The Ash Street Jail was built in 1888 on the site of the New Bedford House of Correction and the former New Bedford County Jail that was built in 1829. It is currently overseen by Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson, who feels that although he has been heavily criticized for keeping the 180-year-old facility open, that keeping it open is a good idea because jail should be a place that "people don't want to return".
Due to alleged unsafe conditions, including the absence of automatic door locks, the jail has been the subject of lawsuits.
Imagine being a teenager and spend here some months, sleeping on that matress and wasting your time in that cell. Ngl, I'd do it.
Cell phone pic!
HaHa - I guess I've entered the modern world at last - now I just have to figure out how to "text" somebody.
These young ladies were standing on a seawall at the Ponce De Leaon Historical Park in Punta Gorda watching the sunset while taking pictures with their cell phones. I was down on the narrow beach below with my camera on a tripod... I swung it around and took this shot. I guess they didn't notice the photographer taking pictures of the photographers... :D

Eastern State Penitentiary
Philadelphia, PA
May 26th, 2014
One of the tops views of Cell Block Seven that is often photographed. I lucked out and got there early enough before anyone else was in the shot
Some info from the E.S.P. website:
"Most eighteenth century prisons were simply large holding pens. Groups of adults and children, men and women, and petty thieves and murderers, sorted out their own affairs behind locked doors. Physical punishment and mutilation were common, and abuse of the prisoners by the guards and overseers was assumed.
In 1787, a group of well-known and powerful Philadelphians convened in the home of Benjamin Franklin. The members of The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons expressed growing concern with the conditions in American and European prisons. Dr. Benjamin Rush spoke on the Society's goal, to see the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania set the international standard in prison design. He proposed a radical idea: to build a true penitentiary, a prison designed to create genuine regret and penitence in the criminal's heart. The concept grew from Enlightenment thinking, but no government had successfully carried out such a program.
It took the Society more than thirty years to convince the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to build the kind of prison it suggested: a revolutionary new building on farmland outside Philadelphia."

Cell 3. Lit from under the walkway. Idea stolen from Muddy. Also lit inside the exhaust or whatever it may be.
With hundreds of thousands photographers in this city. It’s extremely difficult to stand out. It easy to copy a style but it’s even more challenging to develop your own. You’ll never know how much work and time it takes to just get one stand out photo let alone a portfolio. It’s the hard that makes the journey worth it. You want to have fun but if you’re trying to make it in the big leagues it takes a relentless spirit. I’ll never be a Gordon Parks, but I can’t help but to try. Hopefully my next post from the city will show growth and not be so repetitive. I’m here for the challenge to get out of the minor league.
