After exploring White Pocket for a few hours in the middle of the day, I went back to the jeep for a rest and a bite to eat. In the meantime high cirrus clouds moved in, so when I went out photowalking again towards sunset the light was soft.
Dead and decaying branch from a eucalyptus tree I dug up three years ago. I left it to encourage organisms, lichen, fungi, insects etc of all sorts to use it as a home.

Small back-lit red leaves in the Winter afternoon sun, shot with my old manual Vivitar 105 mm Series 1 Macro lens, which I like more and more. It's produces nicer bokeh than I ever dared imagine it could. So far I am very happy with it.
I had a nice moody and foggy morning two weeks ago. The Albtrauf was covered in clouds and a first little snow helped to emphasize the contours of the trees.
I have recently printed this image in colour for a customer, having previously posted it on Flickr as a B&W conversion. I was quite pleased with the result after some work. Cooling down the white balance seemed to do the trick, giving the image the feel I was after.......very cold in Cornwall today !!!
The Terschelling drowning house used to be a rescue operation for stranded skippers on the eastern part of the island. The castaways could then shelter in this house in bad weather. It was a very crucial place, as the sea around Terschelling could and can be very rough, so it was very common that there were shipwrecks in this area. The stranded sailors could spend the night in the house until the storm passed.
This photo was taken after a lonely and long walk on the Boschplaat in the evening. There are also tours to this place, but it doesn't do justice to the scenery when there are busloads of people wandering around. Going alone also had the advantage that there is more time to walk around and take more pictures from different angles.

The front range of the Allegheny Mountains is the highest ridge in the distance.
The church has been delivered to the museum from Kysorychi village in Rokytnivskyi district of Rivnenska Region. It was built by local masters at the end of 18th Century. According to M. Teodorovych, its tops were changes in 1871, and it became one-domed instead of three-domed. Reports of Emperor’s archeological expedition witness that at the beginning of 20th Century (in 1909) the church had to be dismounted due to its emergency state. Although, it was not broken down due to high artistic value of its iconostasis. The iconostasis did not survive until nowadays, except for only four fragments of a unique hewn altar.
As of the moment of purchase there of by the museum in 1978, there were no domes at all. In this connection, they have been re-made according to Polissia typology. The reconstruction was headed by the author of Polissia display, Vergovskyi S.V., inasmuch contours of old ones remained unknown.

Церква Воскресіння Ісуса Христа - Воскресенська церква з села Кисоричі, Рокитнівського району Рівненської області, 1789 рік.
До музею церква перевезена з Рівненської області, Рокитнівського району, село Кисоричі. Вона споруджена місцевими майстрами. Датується кінцем ХVІІІ ст.
Належить до архаїчного типу, поширеного на Поліссі — тризрубна, завершена трьома шатровими розділами з невеликими маківками.
За М. Теодоровичем її верхи були змінені у 1871 р. і церква з триверхої стала одноверхою. З повідомлень імператорської археологічної комісії випливає, що вже на початку ХХ ст. (у 1909 р.) церкву цю хотіли розібрати у зв’язку з аварійним станом. Однак, через високу мистецьку цінність її іконостасу церкву залишили цілою. На сьогодення іконостас не зберігся, а до наших днів дійшли лише чотири фрагменти унікального рубленого престолу.
На момент купівлі музеєм у 1978 р. верхи в ній були відсутні. У зв’язку з цим вони були заново виконані за поліською типологією під керівництвом автора експозиції «Полісся» Верговського С.В., оскільки абриси старих лишилися невідомими.
Культова споруда. Габаритні розміри: 15.9 х 7.3 м. Загальна площа: 116.07 м2.
Будівля у плані трикамерна, зведена з соснового кругляка. При спорудженні зрубу застосована врубка «в чашку», драчка вибрана у верхніх частинах колод. Квадратний у плані бабинець церкви найменший за розмірами (4,9 х 4,9 м.), нава також у плані квадратна – найбільша за розмірами (7,3 х 7,3 м.), вівтар у плані чотирикутний (5,3 х 5 м.).
Центральна частина по ширині найбільша і виступає стінами за бічні зруби. Церква не шальована. Три її верхи шатрового типу. Уся споруда тримається на дубових стоянах-відземках, закопаних по периметру у землю.
У приміщенні церкви експонується постійно діюча виставка «Церковні старожитності України» в якій експонуються твори мистецтва: ікони, троєсвічники, скульптури, церковні карнавки ХУІІІ-ХХ ст.
The patterns created from a retreating tide at Holywell Bay are amazing. Well worth a visit if you are in Cornwall.
“Once spiritual experience becomes objectified, it turns into an idol. It becomes a “thing,” a “reality” which we serve. We were not created for the service of any “thing,” but for the service of God alone, Who is not and cannot be a “thing.” To serve Him Who is no “object” is freedom…What matters is not what one feels, but what really takes place beyond the level of feeling or experience. In genuine contemplation, what takes place is a contact between the inmost reality of the created person and the Infinite Reality of God. The experience which accompanies this contact may be a more or less a faithful sign of what has taken place.”
- Thomas Merton from The Inner Experience pgs. 107-108
I was becoming rather disappointed with the lack of color in the clouds, when it dawned (pun intended) on me that the light in the mountains might be special. Sure enough, the longer lens revealed various nuances playing about in the hills.
The morning light was yellow and brilliant. The clouds were still lingering on the hillside. The water had remained quite still, albeit effected by ocean tides. A silhouette had taken shape in the form of a small island. And mountain peaks gave way to rounded contours.
