Commentary.
This Benedictine Monastery and Abbey Church,
founded as early as 1018, reputedly by King Cnut,
served under Savignac and later Cistercian rule in medieval times.
It suffered the consequences of religious persecution in the 16th. Century, when the Dissolution of the Monasteries, by direction of King Henry VIII, saw it ransacked and ultimately demolished.
The site was bought by French Benedictine monks in the nineteenth century and dedicated to St. Mary. Not until 1907 did a re-build commence followed by consecration in 1932 and completion in 1938.
Prayer and worship is only one part of a monk’s daily life.
What always strikes me is how active they are in supporting their community and earning their keep.
Vegetables, honey, beeswax, pigs, cattle, wine, fudge, publications and many other products are sold near and far.
Monks built the building, help to maintain it,
designed stained-glass windows for new chapels,
farm the land, tend the gardens and benefit from the thousands of paying visitors that come to enjoy, this thriving, yet spiritually uplifting and inspirational place.
Indeed, healthy income enables continuous development.
For example a magnificent new pipe-organ, sourced from Italy, was successfully installed in 2017.
The vibrant, ongoing work of this highly committed
and faithful community is complemented by the incredible beauty of its setting.
Nestling as it does on the edge of Dartmoor,
in the exquisite Dart Valley, where it is, and what it does, evokes the peace, solace, tranquillity of the spirit of God, to his honour and glory.
A thousand years, 1018-2018 is only the beginning!

The new Wedge development in Harris Green. I really love the design of this new building. It's just way to short for the design in my opinion. If it would have been another 10 stories it would have been a signature building downtown. I hope everyone has a great weekend. 😃
It's midnight right now so I'll catch up on everyone's photos tomorrow. :-)
It coordinates with a quilt that does not yet exist.

Some places encourage quiet contemplation. The people in this photo scarcely moved during the six second exposure.
There are plans afoot to demolish this and replace it all with an exclusive five star hi-rise hotel. There are rumours afoot some on the Town Council are being paid a retainer by a rival seaside town to the east.
It was in the Pavilion shown here that Archie Christie first proposed to the young Agatha Miller. Two years later he was a Royal Flying Corps pilot home on a short leave and they married on Christmas eve 1914. Archie returned to France on Boxing Day.
Something weird happened while developing the last roll of film. Don'r really know what wnt wrong
Really not satisfied with the pictures I made yesterday. Some of the chemistry seems to be too old and partly ruined the negatives. Perhaps tomorrow I will find it an interesting effect and I will post them here :-)

Excerpt from the Toronto Star Aug. 4, 2007....not sure if it was corrected, there is some graffiti on the inside I see.
'I think it's a disgrace that Toronto leaves such a beautiful and unique piece of outdoor art to rot and decay. As the author of a number of books celebrating the many wonderful things that make this country unique, it both saddens and disturbs me to think that this is how the city treats the outdoor art pieces it commissions and the amazing disrespect with which it holds the artists who create them.
The piece referenced in the article is called Sundial Folly and was unveiled in 1995. It was the first project by two talented and enterprising architecture grads fresh out of the University of Waterloo: my partner, Paul de Figueiredo, and Jonathan Fung. Their winning design beat out 144 other proposals, some of them from very well-known and established artists.
Not only is Sundial Folly a place for wedding photos and a rare quiet spot in the city, it's also a unique meeting place and point of reference. It has become a unique landmark in the vast sea of blah condo development that has stolen the waterfront from its residents.
I urge Mayor David Miller, city council and city staff, as well as all residents, to do something about this wanton neglect.

Antwerp National Zoo.
Antwerp Zoo (Dutch: ZOO Antwerpen) is a zoo in the centre of Antwerp, Belgium, located next to the Antwerpen-Centraal railway station. It is the oldest animal park in the country, and one of the oldest in the world, established on 21 July 1843.
Whisker is the oldest son of Nestor (born in Antwerp zoo, august 2012) and his mate Tasa (moved from Czech Republic).
His female siblings Winta and Waka moved to Whipsnade zoo last year to be part of a new breeding program (may 2023)
Zoo favorite Nestor moved to another zoo park in Belgium (feb 2024) . Apparently his very pure genes are important to the breeding program of West and Central African lions. Many lions kept in zoos are crossbreeds.
Lions in West- and Central Africa are regionally endangered, living in small fragmented populations in protected areas only. The main threats are habitat destruction for agricultural development (of dry savannah) and human-lion conflict.
Whisker as well as his younger brother Xesar will also move to other zoos. Xesar's female siblings Xabi and Xira will remain with their mother according to the latest news. In time they will be paired with another male.
In Belgium's KMDA (Antwerp and Planckendael zoo) newborns are named following the alphabet.
2021 was a W year. 2022 was the X year.
Newborns this year (2024) will get a name starting with a Z.
This is a massive development in Saanich, which is home to the Home Depot. The old Bank, restaurant, and grocery store has now been torn down. I'll get some more photos soon.
The gate was open and the red monitoring well posts have been installed.
Black drums can also be seen

With a population of over 50,000, Larnaca is one of the largest cities in Cyprus.
The Larnaca District Archaeological Museum displays the development of the city of Kition up to Roman times, as well as finds from the Neolithic settlement of Chirokitia. It is one of two archaeological museums in Larnaca.

One of my favorite clips showing a staged gag where Leaonard Nimoy in costume from Spock's Brain is handcuffed at gunpoint while reading the headline of the LA Times from July 11th 1968. On this day Benjamin Spock was sentenced to a two year jail term for supporting draft evaders and declaring the Vietnam war unconsitutional in the famous Boston Five trial. This is the exact same time as the thrid season episode Spock's Brain was filmed, hence the costume. A great reminder of the political climate of 1968 in addition to the production of Star Trek.

The depressing sight of the small housing development in the village, which is creating a lot of mud, great heaps of the stuff and muddy, clay coloured water streaming down the road.
