St Constantine Church in the village of Constantine, halfway between Falmouth and Helston, Cornwall, the village where I grew up. Taken on Easter Day.
I love the graphic novels of Hellblazer. I loved the movie with Keanu Reeves. I love the show. So, here is my tribute to Matt Ryan and the TV show, Constantine.
Another nicely painted and maintained storefront in tiny Constantine, Michigan. I don't know what this is used for.
Elle n'a rien à elle, mais je suis tellement ravie d'avoir reçue cette merveille que je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de faire une petite photo ^^
Cream and chocolate Constantines -so love the chocolate color!
This photo shoot went totally wrong :(, bad light... But I hope You can enjoy these bohemian feelings anyway :)
I usually only take photos of one doll at a time, so it was quite difficult for me to concentrate on two dolls at the same time. Somebody once asked me to do a group shot of all my BJD dolls... hmmm... I don't think I have the nerves to do that ;)

Owned by the Tyrrell family since 1760, Bosvathick house and gardens were open to the public yesterday for only the second time in 30 years. Tucked away near to the Helford river just outside of Constantine, just finding the house is a challenge. A fund raising event to support the Royal Institution of Cornwall and the Royal Cornwall Museum - not really advertised; I was invited by a well connected work colleague. Tea and home made cakes were served on the terrace in mis-matched antique china, while Gershwin played on the family grand wafted out through open windows. Families and dogs spread out in the garden to enjoy the balmy Spring sunshine. The tug-of war on the lawn was compulsory - no shirking allowed; I dug in hard with my daughter in front and wife behind and we pulled for Cornwall, pleased as punch to be on the winning team.
Constantine est la troisième ville la plus importante d'Algérie en termes de population.
Constantine, l'une des plus anciennes cités du monde, est une ville importante dans l'histoire méditerranéenne. De son ancien nom Cirta, capitale de la Numidie, elle porte depuis 17 siècles le nom de l'empereur Constantin Ier qui la reconstruisit en 313. Constantine est également surnommée la « ville des ponts suspendus » ou bien « ville des aigles ». Ville du malouf, version constantinoise de la musique arabo-andalouse, et des oulémas, elle est la capitale régionale de l'Est du pays. (source wikipedia)

Taken between 1920 and 1935 by a French family vacationing in Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Belgium and France.
The bronze statue of Constantine outside the south transept of York Minster. He became Roman emperor in 306AD while visiting the fortress in York (Eboracum).
This Column was part of the Roman Basilica in York. The column is 31 feet in height. It was erected in 100ad. The Basilica was a substantial building some 72 meters long and as high as the Nave in York Minster. It is likely that the Emperor Constantine was proclaimed Emperor of Rome in the Basilica in 306ad.
I loved his sign... as this really has to be spelled out for some fangirls/boys. I've seen many "John Constantine - Hellblazer" cosplayers mistaken for Castiel (an angel from Supernatural who looks a little disheveled and wears a trench coat, too).
Craggy-faced Eddie Constantine (1917 - 1993) was an American actor and singer who spent his career as a tough guy in European films. He became famous for a series of French B movies in which he played private eye Lemmy Caution, based on the hero of the detective novels by Peter Cheyney.
Eddie Constantine was born in L.A. to Russian immigrant parents. He studied voice in Vienna, but when he returned to the USA, his singing career was unsuccessful. He found work as a film extra in films like Egypt by Three (1953, Victor Stoloff). His wife, dancer Helene Mussel, joined the Ballets de Monte Carlo, and he followed her to Paris, where he began singing in nightclubs. Discovered by Edith Piaf, he became her protégé and intimate friend, and she helped him launch a career as a popular recording artist. He also landed the role of the no-nonsense, hard-hitting private detective Lemmy Caution in the French action thriller La Môme vert-de-gris (1953, Bernard Borderie). He continued to play Caution in a series of French B-pictures, including, Cet homme est dangereux (1953, Jean Sacha), Les femmes s'en balancent (1954, Bernard Borderie), Je suis un sentimental (1955, John Berry), Lemmy pour les dames (1961, Bernard Borderie) and À toi de faire ... mignonne (1963, Bernard Borderie). His character was a suave-talking, seductive smooth guy, which he often played for laughs. He eventually became a French citizen and enjoyed great popularity in several European countries, including France and Germany, as well as Africa. He starred in international productions like Passport to Shame (1958, Alvin Rakoff) with Diana Dors, recorded several successful songs and wrote the novel La Proprietaire which was in 1976 translated and published as The Godplayer.
Eddie Constantine’s most significant film was Jean-Luc Godard's philosophical science fiction film Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965). In this parodic homage to the detective genre he reprised - to a more radical end - the role of Lemmy Caution. His box-office appeal in France waned in the mid-1960’s. He starred in movies of other genres like Lions Love (1969, Agnès Varda), but usually maintained his basic tough-guy, heroic acting style. Filmmakers of the New German Cinema resurrected Constantine and his persona in the 1970’s. Rainer Werner Fassbinder cast him as the laconic star of the film-within-the-film in Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte (1971). Constantine eventually relocated to Germany and appeared in a number of German tv dramas like Malatesta (1970, Peter Lilienthal), Welt am Draht (1973, Rainer Werner Fassbinder) and the popular comedy series Zwei himmlische Töchter (1978, Michael Pfleghar). He also acted in Die Dritte Generation (1979, Rainer Werner Fassbinder), the Dutch films Geen paniek (1973, Ko Koedijk), Bloedverwanten (1977, Wim Lindner) and Paul Chevrolet en de ultieme hallucinatie (1985, Pim de la Parra), and the international productions Raid on Entebbe (1977, Irvin Kershner) and The Long Good Friday (1980, John Mackenzie). He became more and more a cult figure and appeared in arthouse films by Ulrike Ottinger (Freak Orlando, 1981), Mika Kaurismäki (Helsinki Napoli All Night Long, 1987), and Lars von Trier (Europa, 1991). He continued reprising the role of Lemmy Caution well into his 70’s and his final appearance as the character was in Jean-Luc Godard's Allemagne 90 neuf zéro (1991). He died of a heart attack on February 25, 1993.
