LIMNI, EVIA ISLAND, GREECE ΛΙΜΝΗ ΕΥΒΟΙΑΣ
Taken on May 3, 2015 during the long "May Day" weekend, while my wife Theresa Jane Brown and I were visiting friends on the beautiful island of Evia, Greece.
The Community of Limni, Evia Island, Greece, decided to combine celebrations for the International Day of Dance (April 29th, 2015) with the May Day long weekend and organized this wonderful event with dances from the mid 1920's - 1940's.
Various displays were set up with objects from the era and historic B/W photographs of the towns gatherings during these times! Refreshments were available for all!
LIMNI - ΛΙΜΝΗ
Limni, on the island of Evia, is a small port, beach and tourist resort, which is beautiful the whole year round. It is located 80 km NW of Chalkida and about 150 km from Athens.
The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

'The church is dedicated to a French saint, little known in Britain, who was Bishop of Arras in northern Gaul around the turn of the 6th century. Vedast, who was called in Latin, Vedastus; in Norman, Vaast; in Walloon, Waast; and in French, GastSaint Vedast Vaast Vastes Fosteron, helped to restore the Christian Church in the region after decades of destruction by invading tribes during the late Roman empire and to convert Clovis, the Frankish king. Remembered for his charity, meekness and patience, he is buried at Arras cathedral.
His name in England has been corrupted from St Vaast, by way of Vastes, Fastes, Faster, Fauster and Forster to Foster, the name of the lane at the front of the church, and the reason that the official designation of the church is St Vedast-alias-Foster. St Vedast was venerated in particular by the Augustinian priors in the 12th century, and they may be responsible for the foundation of the few churches dedicated to him. Only one other church in England is currently dedicated to St Vedast, in Tathwell, Lincolnshire, a third parish in Norwich now being remembered only in a street name.
Some of the works and legends of St Vedast are celebrated in the stained glass windows of the church.'

Twenty children and eight adults died, killed by a young man who shot his mother before the event and himself after it. The mother was a gun fanatic with a collection of guns she much prized but never showed to any of her friends. She trained her son to shoot, using guns from her collection. The son used the guns to kill all--his mother, himself, the 20 children and six other adults at the school where he shot them and himself. American law allows the possession of guns based on a misreading of the Second Ammendment to the Constitution. The National Rifle Association (NRA), which claims to protect the rights of Americans, fosters this "right to own guns" even as it makes money off of its political stance and from the gun industry. No one in the government, neither presidents, congress, or the Supreme Court has seriously attempted to change this situation. It is so incredible that in the state of Arizona, to use one example, one has the right to bring a gun to school or into a bar, even if you are drunk. WHEN WILL THIS END?
Dedicated to all who need an extra smile these days...

This photo dedicated to Molly who I enjoyed a Flickr relationship with for a couple of years until she disappeared. She turned me on to thrift shopping and making mods to cute skirts. (Molly: if you're out there, please send me a Flickrmail!!)
I recently bought these cute classic style Mary Jane flats and grey pleated mini. I thought it would be great to make a complete outfit by adding my black leotard and lavender opaque tights. So cute!! I will be thinking of where I might go dressed like this…

The town of Istiaia is located at the northern end of the island of Evia, 5 km from the sea, and about 200 klm from Athens.
Homer immortalised Istiaia in his catalogue of Evian cities which took part in the Trojan war.
It is the largest town of N. Evia with a particular local colour owing to it's old stone houses and neoclassical mansions. There is significant tourism in both winter and summer.
My English wife Theresa Jane Brown and I were invited by friends to visit them in Limni for the weekend Feb. 1-2.
It was a rainy and cold weekend, but none the less we had a great time.

Not only did the Romans get the name Heracles wrong but their sculptors weren't good at sculpting left hands or knowing how to correctly use a modern plastic toothbrush!

This is dedicated to Jim Frazee (SARhounds), who I met on Sunday during my long weekend in Southern California. While we were shooting flowers at the beautiful Mission San Juan Capistrano, Jim told me how much he loved poppies. I shot this one for him.
Thank you for a wonderful day, Jim.

The last dedicated 1911/9112 Oz minerals train prepares to depart the Dry Creek North yard on 1-12-19 with ALF23,GWA009,GWB101 and a string of Oz mineral wagons as well as the ARTC ballast consist on the back. At Port Augusta the GWB and the ballast consist were detached before continuing on to Wirrida.
From then on, the Oz minerals loading was detached and attached at Wirrida by Darwin intermodal services.
Today and tomorrow, we continue our visit of the last Romanesque church for us in Poitiers before we leave this region of France: Sainte-Radegonde.
The first church here was built in the 500s by Radegonde, queen of the Franks, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was renamed in honor of Radegonde herself in 587 after she was sanctified. She had been interred within and, in 1012, after her sanctification, her bones were exhumed on order from Abbess Béliarde and placed in a stone sarcophagus that to this day lies in the crypt, as we will see. The church also served as a burial place for the nuns of the Holy Cross Abbey, the first abbey for women ever created in Gaul, which had been founded by the same Radegonde.
During the early Middle Ages, churches and other buildings often perished by fire: candles and oil lamps were the only way to light buildings that were often quite dark, therefore a number of them were needed —and of course, the opus Dei went on after sunset and before sunrise, and candles were needed for that, too. So, at any time, a number of open flame devices were burning, and there were many wood items inside. Also, most churches were then timber-roofed... You can imagine the rest. The Sainte-Radegonde church fell victime to such a fire and was rebuilt in the late 1000s, having been consecrated in 1099. It was then a collegiate church, the prior being appointed by the abbess of Holy Cross Abbey.
From that old Romanesque church, the lower part of the bell tower, as well as the whole eastern end (choir and apse) have survived. The nave is 13th century Romanesque, and was re-vaulted in Gothic style in the 1300s.
The real crypt under the choir was rather spacious and its three apses housed the remains of Sainte Radegonde, Sainte Agnès (abbess of the aforementioned Holy Cross Abbey) and Sainte Disciole. As the pilgrimage of Sainte Radegonde was growing ever more popular, changes had to be made in the 19th century to the layout of the crypt and of the “basement” where its sarcophagus now lies.
The two other saints are still in the crypt and still the subject of devotion to this day.

The church is described as the Jewel of the Town of Snaith,
There was originally a Saxon church on this site, and the present Priory is over 950 years old. It survived The Reformation, and several issues caused by neglect, but is now watertight.

This photo is dedicated to all of the incredible women of color who are participating in the 2016 Rio Olympics. I honor the beauty and strength of their muscles of mind, body, and spirit! In the words of Gold Medalist swimmer, Simone Manuel: "This is for all who come after me who believe they can't do it...for all the black kids who got kicked out of the pool...for all the pools drained because black kids touched the water.
Inspired by and Dedicated to Phil for sharing his workflow.
Photography is so subjective and diverse. We all have a certain style, sometimes very distinctive. Often we are so strung up by technical perfection that we forget that Photography is an Art form. I haven't done an "HDR - not for the faint hearted style" for a long time and actually forgot how is was done. Thanks to Phil for sharing his workflow :)
The purpose of sharing my work on Flickr is to show you "My World", the way I see things. And also to learn new things from all of you. I really appreciate constructive critism as it helps to improve, inspires to try new techniques and better oneself. So c'mon down, hit me with your thoughts. I have tough skin (most times) :)
Have a nice week end my friends and remember to make someone close to you happy :)
