Small Tortoiseshell - Aglais urticae, seen in the gardens at Adare Manor of County Limerick, Ireland. This is a very common butterfly in Ireland which regularly frequents gardens, particularly favouring Buddlea bushes. It is mainly reddish-orange with black markings and blue spots around the border. In contrast, the underside is quite dull. It can be found sometimes hibernating in houses. For more info see: www.irishbutterflies.com/small_tortoiseshell_butterfly_of...

Belltower & bells dedicated 7 Nov 1971. Church foundation stone 10 Apr 1915 by Bishop Nutter Thomas, architect Dean Berry, opened 24 Nov 1915.
Previous church foundation stone 1 Nov 1883, opened in Clifton St as mission church & school.
“ . . . the Bishop laid the foundation-stone of a Mission school Church at Prospect. For some time past the Anglicans in that township have been conducting Sunday-school at Mrs. Whitby's school, but the attendance was so good that the building was found altogether too small for the summer months, and as Messrs. Sanders & Packard presented a suitable block of land . . . he hoped that the time would come when Prospect would have a Church as large as St. Paul's, Adelaide.” [Register 2 Nov 1883]
The new edifice is taking the place of an old residential dwelling, and will be a decided improvement to the locality. Money has not been spared to make it a church beautiful. . . . The walls will be of brick, and stone, well buttressed and artistically designed. On the south side, at the rear, a day chapel is designed . . . Provision is being made for a tower 70 ft. high, but this will not be constructed at present. The design, however, will appear quite complete without this. The arcade is to be of rubbed brickwork, with pointed arches.” [Daily Herald 12 Apr 1915]
Dedicated to Isolano For organizing today's Portuguese Flickr friends meeting held at Regaleira, Sintra, Portugal.
When nobody else will listen to you,
I will hear every word.
When nobody else will talk to you,
I will say it all.
When everybody else looks right through you,
I will look into your eyes with a smile.
When everybody else laughs at you,
I will remain by your side.
When others hurt you,
I, too, will feel the pain.
When noone else in this world looks up to you,
I will place you on a pedestal.
When you are hungry,
I will give you my last piece of bread.
When you are thirsty,
I will give you my last drop of water.
When you feel as though you are drowning,
I will swim out to save you.
When noone else seems to need you,
I will always love you.
When you feel as though you are being torn into pieces,
I will give you my heart.

Dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption, is a novel built from the eleventh century on an older church (mentioned in 908 ), the foundations of the apse are still visible in the crypt of the twelfth century building. The original building consisted of a nave and an apse overridden (or arc horseshoe ), characteristic of the first age novel. The church was enlarged in the eighteenth century. It has a Romanesque marble portal of the twelfth century, which is believed to come from the old church of Eula ( commune Soler ). The cores are based on the archi storied capitals. On the facade of the building, two large slabs of gray marble commemorate the Synod of 1027 and the Council of 1065-66. Inside , note the Virgin of the fifteenth century ( also from the Eula ), a font of white marble (1510), the altarpiece of Saint Sebastian (François Negro , 1706 ), panels of the altarpiece of Our Lady. Angels ( 1743 ), whose columns appear to have been reused for the altarpiece of Saint Gaudérique.

Penang Heritage Trust Site Visit
The "High Chaparral" village ( Kampong Buah Pala, oldest cattle farm in Penang) celebrated its Ponggal Festival (Harvest Thanksgiving) from 14-18 January.
"High Chaparral" originally an Indian cattle rearing community who were the biggest suppliers of fresh milk in Penang last century - narrowly escaped demolition by developers last year. This year's Ponggal was therefore doubly meaningful for the villagers.
The Ponggal is a 4-day harvest thanksgiving festival : a tradition occasion for giving thanks to nature for its bounty of food especially rice and milk. The 4-day festival culminated with traditional festivities on Sunday (18 Jan).

It was a test of manhood for young men at the 100th annual Ponggal festival at the “High Chaparral” of Penang.
In honour of the Harvest Festival, the Tamil community gathered to give thanks for the year’s prosperity and prove their worth through a series of daring competitions.
Groups of youths faced off with bulls, weighing over 400kg, in an effort to yank off garlands from their horns.
Each garland contained RM100 to be shared among the successful group of bull chasers.

Brahmeswara Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, erected at the end of the 9th century CE, is richly carved inside and out. This Hindu temple can be dated with fair accuracy by the use of inscriptions that were originally on the temple. They are now lost, but records of them preserve the information of around 1058 CE. The temple is built in the 18th regnal year of the Somavamsi king Udyotakesari by his mother Kolavati Devi, which corresponds to 1058 CE.
HISTORY
Historians place the temple to belong to the late 11th century as ascertained from an inscription carried to Calcutta from Bhubaneswar. The inscription indicates that the temple was built by Kolavatidevi, the mother of Somavamsi king Udyota Kesari. It was built with four Natyasalas at a place known as Siddhatirtha in Ekamra (modern day Bhubaneswar). The inscription was recorded during the 18th renal year of Udyotha Kesari, corresponding to 1060 CE. Since the inscription is not in its original place, historians indicate the possibility of the reference to another temple, but based on the location and other features specified, it is ascertained that the inscription belongs to the temple. Also, another issue raised by Panigrahi is that the four cardinal temples are Angasalas (associate temples) and not Natyasalas (dance halls) as indicated in the inscription.
ARCHITECTURE
The temple is classified as a panchatanaya temple where apart from the main shrine, there are four subsidiary shrines in the four corners around the temple. The temple on account of its later origin, has perfectly developed structure compared to its predecessors. The vimana of the temple is 18.96 m tall. The temple is built with traditional architectural methods of wood carving, but applied on stone building. The buildings were built in a shape of full volume pyramid, and then they would be carved inside and outside.The basic structure of the Orissan temple has two connecting buildings. The smaller is the Jagmohana, or assembly hall. Behind it is the Shikhara, the towering sanctuary. Later temples have two additional halls in front - one for dancing, and the other for banquets.
The Brahmeswara shows quite a bit of affinity with the much earlier Mukteswar Temple, including the carved interior of the Jagmohana, and in the sculptural iconography such as the lion head motif, which appeared for the first time in the Mukteswara, and is here evident in profusion. There are quite a number of innovations, however, including the introduction of a great number of musicians and dancers, some holding lutes, on the exterior walls. For the first time in temple architectural history iron beams find their first use.
On sandstone walls there are symbolic decorations and the notion of godlike figures that helps the believer in his meditation. The carvings over the door frame contain beautiful flower designs as well as flying figures. Like the Rajarani, there are images of the eight directional Guardian Deities. There are also quite a number of tantric-related images, and even Chamunda appears on the western facade, holding a trident and a human head, standing on a corpse. Shiva and other deities are also depicted in their horrific aspects.
One of the lost inscriptions stated that a Queen Kolavati presented 'many beautiful women' to the temple, and it has been suggested that this is an evidence of the 'Devadasi' tradition, which assumed such importance in later Orissan temple architecture and temple life.
