The stunning interior of the St. Irene of Chysovalanton Monastery in Astoria, Queens echoes the faith of Byzantium.
The devotion of a parent to a child is truly amazing. I had an awesome chance to observe this devotion many times over during the holiday season. And reflecting on this, I don't think I'll ever come close to giving back everything my parents have sacrificed for me - but I can certainly try!
And - my first photo with my Nikon D80. :)

Yesterday I went with a group of bug-seeking friends to Arivaipa Canyon in Gila Co, Arizona. We found a big Gopher Snake sunning himself on the pavement. We stopped to move him away from the road and also to take pictures. He seemed to either want his portrait taken or seek the shade of one of the photographers. Suddenly several feet of his length disappeared - up the photographer's trouser leg! Here you see the photographer pulling the snake out - he swears he didn't feel the assault

I have only recently become aware of an apparent long time practice of couples expressing there devotion to each other by locking a lock or pair of locks to some permanent object like this bridge railing on the Harmar rail and foot bridge. This has become a pretty popular practice here with scores of these locks on the railing of the bridge. Here are just a few samples.
Proof that although devotion may never fade it apparently does become a little rusty with time LOL.
I spent a lovely weekend singing w/ Krisha Das and documenting the Heart of Devotion Retreat at the Garrison Institute. #kirtan #yoga #bhakti

Welcome to a night in the office from hell.
It’s 1983 and in an abandoned workplace in the Midlands, two solitary clerical workers sit down at their desks to begin a routine night shift. But as the evening creeps into the night, a confidential file is accidentally opened and a quietly horrifying secret is unleashed. A secret that’ll soon turn their lives of rotas, packed lunches and fag breaks violently upside down and the workers, against each other.
A fantasy thriller with a pounding 1980s soundtrack, Stoke-on-Trent’s Potboiler Theatre invite you to a world of ruthless ambition, desperate escapism and deeply held desires: a world of Devotion.

I was visiting Santa Sofia in Istambul,Turkey,and i was totaly impressed for the magnificence of that place and for the beauty of the variety of people that meet there at the same time with different religions,costumes and porpoises.
A Tamil man pierced iron rod in his mouth to please God Kartikeya, during a religious procession. India is great land of differences, where we can easily find people who have strong faith in God. They usually perform rituals to please God...and that is real devotion.
IN DEFENCE OF MAMATA BANERJEE
Mamata Banerjee has the qualities which I regard as the highest. These are (1) her impeccable integrity, and (2) her devotion to the welfare of the people. She has never been involved in any scam, and no one has ever lifted a finger against her integrity. Even after becoming Chief Minister she continues to live in her small home in a lane in a basti in Kolkata. She wears simple clothes. Please compare her with so many other politicians who are involved in so many scams. Integrity is becoming rare in public life in India today, but her integrity is of the highest order. She used to live with her mother, who has passed away, and now she lives alone. None of here relatives have benefited from their relationship with her. When I met her recently in Kolkata I told her that she should regard me as her elder brother, and I love her because I love all upright people. She is working from morning till night to serve the people of Bengal, though of course the problems are so massive that it will take time to solve them and she has certain limitations e.g. the financial crunch left as a legacy by the previous regime.
No doubt Mamata has some defects, but then who does not have defects? We are all human beings, and no one is perfect. Mamata is sometime emotional and temperamental, but then these defects are far outshadowed and outweighed by her great qualities mentioned above. I would much rather prefer an emotional person with high integrity to a seemingly balanced and cool person who is indulging in scams and scandals, overtly or covertly. It is totally unfair on the part of some people, including much of the media, to only highlight her defects while totally overlooking her great qualities of integrity and devotion to serving the people of Bengal.
To revive the economy of Bengal I will recommend to Mamata Behen (as I call her) to set up a task force comprising of technical experts, industrialists, bankers, and others to frame an over all, balanced scheme for reviving sick industries, setting up new ones, and modernizing agriculture. A large number of technical institutes and scientific research centres should also be set up. For all this the Central Government should grant her government all financial and other assistance.
