The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, generally known as The Round Church, is an Anglican church in the city of Cambridge, England. It is located on the corner of Round Church Street and Bridge Street. Since 1950 the church has been designated a Grade I listed building, and is currently managed by Christian Heritage. It is one of the four medieval round churches still in use in England.
The church was built around 1130, its shape being inspired by the rotunda in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem.
Week 4/52: Water
I took this one the day after election day, 2020, so posting it the morning before the inauguration makes some sense to me. Hard to know where we'll go, but it's definitely somewhere.
On an editing note, I wanted to try to make this one look more like a painting. My first go at it!
Currently getting to use my newly cleaned Panagor macro lens ! this is closed to f/8 where I get maximum sharpness. I love its colors ! I appears that wide open doesn't give me much sharpness... Mabye it's just my lens after I cleaned it and the fungus leftovers (or I'm bad at cleaning a lens, that is also possible...) or it's the same for all samples.
Still this bee picture turned out pretty good !

I'm currently listening to Side 2 of Aerial by Kate Bush which is one of my favourite pieces of music. The title seemed very apt.
We went up to the top of the highest hill
And stopped
Still
It was just so beautiful
It was just so beautiful
It was just so beautiful
This is where the shadows come to play
'Twixt the day
And night
Dancing and skipping
Along a chink of light
Somewhere in between
The waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between
What the song and silence say
Somewhere in between
The ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in a dream between
Sleep and waking up
Somewhere in between
Breathing out and breathing in
Like twilight is neither night nor morning
Not one of us would dare to break
The silence
Oh how we have longed
For something that would
Make us feel soâ?¦
Somewhere…
well, the snow is almost all gone (we have icy rain instead), and the winds are down a bit but still racing across the landscape and whipping up mini-waterspouts on the fjord (so George is still unhappy) — still a bunch of storm to get through

Tell me what you think and have a great Memorial Day!
I have always being impressed when I came across stones that seat in a river with strong current flowing through. It seems so fragile but yet it never failed to prove its strength.

The Ponte Coperto ("Covered Bridge") or the Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a stone and brick arch bridge over the Ticino River in Pavia, Italy.
The previous bridge, dating from 1354 (itself a replacement for a Roman construction), was heavily damaged by Allied action in 1945. A debate on whether to fix or replace the bridge ended when the bridge partially collapsed in 1947, requiring new construction, which began in 1949. The new bridge is based on the previous one, which had seven arches to the current bridge's five.
The current bridge, like its predecessor, bears a chapel.
The construction of the new bridge began in 1949, and its inauguration took place in 1951. An epigraph was placed on the portal of entry on the city's side with the words: Sull'antico varco del ceruleo Ticino, ad immagine del vetusto Ponte Coperto, demolito dalla furia della guerra, la Repubblica Italiana riedificò ("On the ancient passage of the cerulean Ticino river, in the likeness of the old Ponte Coperto, demolished by the war, the Italian Republic rebuilt").
The bridge was built around 30 metres further downstream than the previous one, larger and higher. The arches are larger, therefore fewer (five instead of seven). The bridge is also shorter, as it is positioned exactly perpendicular to the river's current. The old one instead followed the line which links Strada Nuova (in the city centre) and Piazzale Ghinaglia (in Borgo Ticino). The changes in the project were aimed at improving the road conditions on the bridge and facilitating the flows of the water of the river.
Plaque on the Monumental Bridge as described by Albert Einstein
In 2005, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Albert Einstein, a plaque was placed in the central portion of the bridge. The plaque reads An die schöne Brücke in Pavia habe ich oft gedacht ("I have often thought about that beautiful bridge in Pavia"), a quote from a letter written by the scientist in 1947 to an Italian friend which referred to a period of time Einstein had spent in Pavia when he was 15 years old.
If you cross the bridge and turn on your left, you will be in via Milazzo, a picturesque street with colourful houses, where the laundresses once used to wash their clothes in the river. Their activity was so important that at the top of the street, a bronze statue called the Laundress Monument was placed in remembrance of them.

A once-in-a-lifetime view from our hot air balloon over a misty Napa Valley in Northern California on a beautiful autumn morning. The low fog churned and gently rippled in the growing warmth of the sunrise. 20 minutes later, the fog dissipated and we came back down to Earth.
This seemingly thin book is heavy on wisdom. If you think of the chain that goes
data -> information -> knowledge -> wisdom,
a lot of books don't spend much time on the wisdom, and if you want wisdom you'll do well here. He has basically 20 short essays on aspects of dealing and resisting; a typical essay will start with an expression of the principle involved, follow with historical examples of how is was handled in the past, and conclude with concrete actions you can take which follow the principle.
It's good and I think you'd do well with it. After you've read it, leave it on the bathroom window sill for your guests.

This image entailed me standing perfectly still for the entire 4 minute exposure. Some might use a composite. I’m too much of a purist I guess!
