"Dedicated to Nestor Mahno" still-life is the devote to well-known Ukrainian rebel, who was persecuted by the Soviet regime. I used bold colors and powerful brush strokes, as I do in all my paintings, in order to create a lasting visual impression. Art buyers (and art lovers) will see symbolic references to prominent realistic painters like Jan Vermeer, Rembrandt and Gustav Klimt as I offer homage to their artistic vision through my own art. This artwork is still for sale, so if you’d like to purchase the painting just contact me.

East window dedicated in 1917 to the memory of Zachariah Burton, a victim of the War. The glass in the three east windows is unsigned but stylistically appears likely to be the work of Jones & Willis.
St Peter's church at Darby End stands beside the Dudley Canal close to Netherton, situated in the heart of the Black Country a short distance south of Dudley. It looks about as humble as a church can, a modest low-rise building in brick, built between 1910-1913 and surprisingly secular in appearance, so much so that many probably pass it without even realising it's a church, looking as much like a school room in many respects. Only the wooden bellcote over the chancel asserts an ecclesiastical presence from its roadside / canalside site. That said the church is only modest in its appearance, and makes up for its lack of height in terms of length and width with a reasonable seating capacity within.
The interior is far more pleasant than the somewhat nondescript exterior might suggest, and light thanks to the large plain windows on the south side. A simple arcade separates a north aisle and adds to the sense of space, whilst the chancel beyond is whitewashed which also helps lighten this part of the interior where it would otherwise be more subdued, since this is where its best glass is located.
The east window is formed of a semi-circular headed light (flanked by smaller rectangular lights) and contains a seated Christ in Glory which is unsigned bu probably the work of the studio of Jones & Willis. The best glass however is to be found in two smaller lights either side of the chancel (one now partially obscured by an extension) which are exquisite Arts & Crafts pieces by Sidney Meteyard from the 1920s.
It was through this glass that I first encountered this church since I had to repair one of the windows after it had been severely damaged during a break in back in 2004: the lower panel was found in a mangled state within the church but another section was missing altogether. Ben Sinclair of Norgrove Studios assumed the malicious individuals who attacked the church must have thrown the missing panel into the adjoining canal, and after fishing various unrelated items out of the water the missing panel in due course was retrieved from the watery depths! I was thus able to save most of the damaged glass and while it shows some scars it was wonderful to have it back in place where it belongs, despite having spent a week or more at the bottom of the Dudley Canal!
Darby End church is normally locked outside of service times, but its glass is worth seeing if circumstances permit.

Macro shot of my dedicated near IR canon powershot a630. with the 720 nm pass filter. Interesting note the filter adapter for this camera came bent slightly out of round to to repair the filter threads I forced a UV filter onto the slightly bent tube to give me good threads for the expensive IR pass filters. and to protect the threads on the new UV filter since it is now removable I added a captive lenscap to the camera ( it is sitting on the cap )
What prompted the IR conversion was that the flash worked intermittently, and as I just purchased a T3i DSLR I had no use for a point and shoot anymore. upon dis-assembly I removed the IR cut filter and found the short in the flash so I repaired the flash and tested it out using a piece of exposed film for an IR pass filter. with the results confirming the functionality I then ordered a A640/a630 filter adapter tube, since the 630 has a bayonet mount for accessories.
I also have a 900nm ir pass filter but have not had much of a chance to use this set up yet due to the changing seasons and a lack of greens to set the white balance to.

On 5th May 2022 the RAF MOuntain Rescue Service monument at the National Memorial Arboretum was officially dedicated. The Defence School of Photography helped record the event and these are some of their Crown Copyright photos uploded under the MoD Limited Use Licence, please see the link at the end of Fernanda's caption below.
Senior members of the Mountain Rescue Service(MRS) watching the memorial service. On 5th May 2022, the RAF MRS held a Service of Dedication and Remembrance after the unveiling of a RAF MRS monument at the National Memorial Arboretum. Guests include Commander Medical RAF, Group Captain Priestley, A4 Force Elements Commander, Group Captain Huntley, and serving and ex-serving MRS troops. Since its formation the RAF MRS has sustained a high readiness capability for Search and Rescue (SAR) and Aircraft Post Crash Management operations. Born out of wartime necessity to save the lives of downed aircrew in the mountainous regions of the UK, the modern RAF MRS now has 3 Mountain Rescue Teams (MRT) located at RAF Leeming, RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Valley and is supported by a dedicated Support Flight and MRS HQ at RAF Valley. Officer Commanding MRS, Squadron Leader Ed Slater states, “The RAF Mountain Rescue Service has a proud tradition of helping others. Since 1943, when Flight Lieutenant George Graham ventured into the mountains to rescue downed airman, the men and women of the RAF MRS have continued this selfless pursuit. The monument being unveiled today pays tribute to the 12 Troops who have given their lives whilst on mountain rescue duties. The monument is also dedicated to the families who provide unwavering support to the Troops and enable them to undertake lifesaving duties, this is a place for the entire MRS family to reflect.” The RAF MRA, formed in 1993 following the MRS’ 50th anniversary, is the official organisation for past and present members of RAF MRS, and is managed by a small committee of dedicated volunteers. In addition to an MRA tree planted in the NMA, the MRS and MRA have erected a monument that marks the Troops’ and their family’s dedication, alongside the 26 principal locations of RAF MRTs. MRA Chairman, Brian Canfer comments, “It is with tremendous pride and humility that we have created this permanent monument to the outstanding and unstinting dedication and commitment shown by the estimated 8,000 Troops who have served in the RAF MRS since its formation in 1943 and the essential support that those same Troops received from their families and friends. We are acutely aware of the 12 Troops who lost their lives serving with the MRS and conscious too of those who received life-changing injuries in its service. Like almost every action within the MRS and the MRA, the creation of this monument has been the epitome of teamwork.” Throughout the MRS’ history and until present day, although SAR operations and traditions have evolved, these like-minded and committed volunteers have always been, and will continue to operate as Defence’s only all-weather, ground based SAR organisation. Through maintaining a one-hour readiness state, 24/7/365 the MRTs epitomise the MRS motto, ‘Whensoever’.

This pix is dedicated to Nikon.
You see, my nikon broke down again for the 2nd time (since august 06 when I bought the camera). I sent to Nikon Malaysia on 20th and was dissappointed with the kind of service I received from them. Dissappointed because they only have ONE service center in KL (2 for the whole of malaysia, can u believe it?). On Dec 27, I called to ask about the status of my cam and the person who answered me informed that I should know that it took 10 days for them to respond because the queue apparently is very long. Thats certainly not the answer I wanna hear from somebody providing services to clients!! It was dissappointing and the girl was not comforting either.
Today I decided to give them an email. Found an email ID from Nikon website and send them an email...Not even an angry email but just from a very dissappointed user of nikon.
Guess what? Less than one and a half hour after the email, I received a call from Nikon saying that I can come and collect my camera... HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!
Its not a nice feeling when you have to poke something to get a better service.. but I guess I have to do what I have to do.. I need my camera badly!
So this pose is dedicated to Nikon...
Peace! :P
This is a family dedicated channel to our beloved big lad Benji
We got Benji in 2007 when he was 4 years old as the owner was suffering from an illness and was no longer capable of looking after him
We got him on the 21st may 2007 so we used that date to celebrate his birthday
When Benji came to live with us he was a very independant lad and was always the boss especially over my two young sons and he stamped his authority quite quickly
He did test us at the beginning but soon knew that living here with us he was going to get nothing more than love and attention and he got that in abundance
He loved his home comforts as he would often take over the settee and would declare that space as his own
I myself have had health issues and Benji would always pop his head up to see if everything was alright with me and i would do the same with him everynight
We nearly lost Benji in 2013/2014 when we discovered a small lump on his groin and the vet at the time told us it was just a fatty lump and just ignore it
We knew something was not right and advised the vet that we wanted it removed and we would pay for the operation
We booked him in 2 weeks after that appointment and when we got him to the PDSA they told us that it was a good job that we ignored her colleagues advice and decided to go for the operation as it saved his life as this so called fatty lump was actually a growth that was cutting off his blood vessel, The operation was a success and it extended our time with Benji
There was times that we questioned some of the vets advice as for when we kept asking about all the lumps that was appearing on his body and again we were told that they were just fatty lumps
Over the past couple of years we were concerned of a few lumps under his chest and a few that would appear around his ribs etc and again we were told to ignore them as they were fatty lumps
Well those lumps turned out to be cancer and cost our baby boy his life as his liver had also became very enlarged and we had to make a decssion if we wanted to die in agony as we were informed or for the vet to give him that terrible injection
We took him home for a day so that he could say his goodbyes to my sons and we stayed awake with him all night
The following morning we gave him his favourite a tin of tuna and he had a good drink of water and at 10:15am on September 1st 2017 Benji was put to sleep
My wife held him in her arms as i cuddled his head and kept him from seeing the needles and he dropped into his deep sleep forever
The vet that dealt with Benji on his final moment was a wonderful and caring vet and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for all she done
We love you Benji and we will walk together again one day soon
Forever your
Mammy, Daddy and Brothers

Nov.4, 2018: The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt.
A cult temple dedicated to Amun, Mut and Khonsu. The largest religious building complex ever constructed. The temple of Karnak was known as Ipet-isu—or “most select of places”—by the ancient Egyptians. It is a city of temples built over 2,000 years and dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. This derelict place is still capable of overshadowing many wonders of the modern world and in its day must have been awe-inspiring.
For the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population, this could only have been the place of the gods. It is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres (1.5 km by 0.8 km), and was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years. The area of the sacred enclosure of Amun alone is sixty-one acres and could hold ten average European cathedrals. The great temple at the heart of Karnak is so big that St Peter’s, Milan, and Notre Dame Cathedrals would fit within its walls.
The Hypostyle hall, at 54,000 square feet (16,459 meters) and featuring 134 columns, is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. In addition to the main sanctuary there are several smaller temples and a vast sacred lake – 423 feet by 252 feet (129 by 77 meters). The sacred barges of the Theban Triad once floated on the lake during the annual Opet festival. The lake was surrounded by storerooms and living quarters for the priests, along with an aviary for aquatic birds.

The Egyptians believed that towards the end of annual agricultural cycle the gods and the earth became exhausted and required a fresh input of energy from the chaotic energy of the cosmos.
To accomplish this magical regeneration the Opet festival was held yearly at Karnak and Luxor. It lasted for twenty-seven days and was also a celebration of the link between pharaoh and the god Amun. The procession began at Karnak and ended at Luxor Temple, one and a half miles (2.4 kilometres) to the south.
The statue of the god Amun was bathed with holy water, dressed in fine linen, and adorned in gold and silver jewellery. The priests then placed the god in a shrine and onto the ceremonial barque supported by poles for carrying. Pharaoh emerged from the temple, his priests carrying the barque on their shoulders, and together they moved into the crowded streets. A troop of Nubian soldiers serving as guards beat their drums, and musicians accompanied the priests in song as incense filled the air.
At Luxor, Pharaoh and his priests entered the temple and ceremonies were performed to regenerate Amun, recreate the cosmos and transfer Amun’s power to Pharaoh. When he finally emerged from the temple sanctuary, the vast crowds cheered him and celebrated the guaranteed fertility of the earth and the expectation of abundant harvests.
During the festival the people were given over 11000 loaves of bread and more than 385 jars of beer, and some were allowed into the temple to ask questions of the god. The priests spoke the answers through a concealed window high up in the wall, or from inside hollow statues.

Sefton Church Building
As a Grade 1 listed building, Sefton Church has a lot of history. Our church is a large building built of local stone and listed as Grade 1 – the only such building in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. It is given three stars in “The Guide To The Thousand Best Churches In The Country”.
It was probably founded about 1170 by the Molyneux family, the local landowners. There is no trace of the original church beyond a few carved fragments. The tower and steeple and part of the north aisle remain from a 14th century reconstruction.
The bulk of the church – chancel, nave, aisles and porch date from the early 16th century. There was major restoration work in the 19th century and particularly in the early 20th century. The latter work was undertaken by the noted church architect, William Caroe and this included a fine carved ceiling, restoration of the rood screen and a new choir vestry.
The church contains some of the finest Tudor furnishings anywhere in the country with a set of elaborately carved screens, choir stalls and pews. There is a wealth of monuments ranging from 16th century brasses of the Molyneux family to the Neo-classical memorial to William Blundell of 1807.

The park dedicated to World War One in Moscow is located in the territory of 11,5 hectares in a walking distance from Sokol metro station. Presently there are many green stretches, and commemorative monuments have been pleasantly incorporated into the landscape. There is a small chapel on a hill and a few cenotaphs. A monument at the park's entry (from Sokol metro station) reminds us that in the park's grounds the first common cemetery to the soldiers and medical sisters who died in the war had been created as early as 1915. Those graves had been subsequently moved to another cemetery, but the present park is located in the cemetery grounds. It is a peaceful and solemn place where one can't help but meditate on life and death, war and peace.

Dedicated in 1239 under the construction of Bishop Jocelyn of Wells, it is a Grade 1 Listed Building and Scheduled Ancient Monument. This was the day of the Classic Car Show and the weather was beautiful.
According to Eusebius of Caesarea, the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD built a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus in order to bury the cave in which Jesus had been buried. The first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, ordered in about 325/326 that the temple be replaced by a church. During the building of the Church, Constantine's mother, Helena, is believed to have rediscovered the tomb. Socrates Scholasticus (born c. 380), in his Ecclesiastical History, gives a full description of the discovery.
Constantine's church was built as two connected churches over the two different holy sites, including a great basilica, an enclosed colonnaded atrium with the traditional site of Golgotha in one corner, and a rotunda, called the Anastasis ("Resurrection" in Greek), which contained the remains of a rock-cut room that Helena and Macarius identified as the burial site of Jesus.
