LAST sUNDAY, WE WENT TO SIDCOR TO BUY FRESH FISH, VEGETABLES, FLOWERS AND FRUITS. I HAD TO USE MY CANON 70D AND THE 100MM /F.28 MACRO LENS AND TOOK THIS PHOTO. ANOTHER STALL HAD A DIFFERENT DESERT IMPALA..
It seems an age ago, well these were different times, that I found a friend, John Vigar, was doing a tour of some East Kent churches. It had been some time since we last met, so I said I would go along, and he kindly waived my costs.
Of the four churches he was planning to visit, I had not seen inside two, so it seemed an ideal chance.
And then the world changed.
But, the tour was to go ahead, and plans were made to meet at Holy Trinity at eleven.
Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Dumpton and Margate now merge into one large town, spreading over the Isle of Thanet, so finding the church was given to the sat nav, which guided me down main roads to the church, where there was a parking space nearby.
Inside a service, mass, had just ended. I looked round and could see stations of the cross, icons. So this was high.
I can't claim to understand the different flavours of faith, but the vicar was very welcoming, he told me some of the history of his calling, the places he has ministered.
The church was well proportioned, but in the 1970s, a church hall was built at the east end of the church, making what is left, jarring.
But it is a fine, 19th century church, one built to serve the large community living near the harbour, rather than the old parish church at St Peter. This community would soon need a second new church, St George.
-------------------------------------------
Holy Trinity Ramsgate, a flint clad church, stands on the east cliff of Ramsgate close to the Royal Harbour. The Church was consecrated in 1845 and has always maintained a Catholic tradition, firmly anchored in the Anglican Church. Holy Trinity is a Resolution and Society church under the See of Richborough.
The principal Sunday Worship is a Sung Mass with sermon accompanied by fine organ music and the Rite used is Common Worship. There are masses every Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening. We have a thriving Sunday School and we have recently instituted a re-generation programme and we are now a church in growth. We also have an active choir that is always happy to accept new members. Come and join us, a warm welcome awaits you.

When we are on a trip I usually take a backup camera and photos as well, In Nice the Canon G1X was mainly used in the first three, very wet days. I can keep the smaller camera dry in a pocket and quickly use it and put it away. These photos are of the same places as those taken later with the 5D but in entirely different conditions, dull, wet and in the dark – the umbrella photos! I had good fun grabbing shots in the dark on the streets, shops, diners, waiters, people with their heads down and brollys up as the rain came down. The Cote d’Azur is milky white, I guess due to the colour of the water that enters the sea from the two rivers. The rivers were carrying a fair volume down from the mountains and it was just like milk in colour. There was a distinct line in the sea, azure and milky white, were the two met but didn’t mix immediately. The streets wet and reflecting the lights, the rooftop photos saturated with colour due to being wet.
We had our January break in Nice this year. This is our combined Christmas and Jayne’s birthday present, which suits me as I can ignore Christmas and no presents to buy. A good result all round. We knew that the weather was forecast to be bad for at least three days which was a bit depressing but there’s nothing you can do about it. We flew from Liverpool, a nice little airport, landed in heavy rain – and it rained almost non-stop for three days. South East France suffered flooding, landslips, airlifts – and deaths! Home from home. Despite having walking gear, waterproofs etc., I had to buy an umbrella. I have never seen as many people with umbrellas, even the young lads had them. They are obviously used to rain – but without the wind to rip the brolly to shreds.
Nice has a pebble beach, the sea was rough on arrival but what we realised later, was that the pebbles were three foot deep on top of the concrete bases that the hotels across the road have bars, settees and tables set up on. For a couple of days tracked Bobcats moved hundreds of tonnes on pebbles, later in the week there were carpets and immaculately laid tables set out on the beach every day, even in January. Every day people swam in the sea and in some cases sunbathed. The temperature peaked at 15C but with the lack of wind it was pleasant, at times though it was cold and snow appeared overnight on the distant mountains, the beginning of the Southern Alps I think.
We walked over 90 miles in seven days and for three days in pouring rain, weighing up the photo possibilities, with the intentions of going back when the weather picked up. On Monday, day four, things improved, on Tuesday and Wednesday it was gorgeous, Thursday was duller. If we had had better weather we would have visited Cannes and Monaco etc. but as it was we stayed within walking distance of Nice. We walked up Castle Hill ( Colline du Chateau) several times in different weather, likewise Mont Boron and Mont Alban. The views were stunning. A peninsula below us was Cap Ferrat and we had an epic day out there, over twenty miles including the 14 Km path around the entire peninsula – the second most expensive place in the world to buy a home apparently. The gates on the driveway would cost more than a small house in Huddersfield. A beautiful place though.
We went to the old Town (Vieux Nice), Cimiez, Villefranche-sur-Mer, the fantastic Russian Cathedral, Pretty much everywhere it was worth walking in the time we had. We walked from 8.30 am until 8.30 pm with barstops for a glass or two of French wine – got to keep it civilised! I had a pretty heavy backpack on with my camera gear and waterproofs etc.
All in all we had a great time but! I made a big mistake, I inadvertently put an 8 Gb CF card back in my camera, formatted it - without checking what was on it – and put another 250 photos on it. I realised when I got home that there was a problem. These photos were the best of the trip, Our second visit to the Russian Cathedral, it was closed the first time, in stunning light, and no crowds. I spotted a giant Cumulonimbus over the snow covered mountains, just as the sun was setting and turning it pink and orange. It was similar to the one I photographed at home recently, A photo of which was on the BBC weather coincidentally. I couldn’t believe my luck, the only way I could get a view of it was by taking a ride on the giant Ferris wheel nearby. We ran to it and they took us around five times, each time I fired away and got some fantastic photos – all gone! At the time I was extremely disappointed but you have to put these things in perspective – it’s nobody’s life. We were there for a break and a change of scenery and we got it, the photos make the trip for me but I still have a thousand great photos, there might have to be a next time though.

Orange and Lemons said a different St Clement.
Or so says the nursery rhyme of St Clement in the City of London, saying the peal of the bells sounded like that.
Well, this St Clement will says something different after this day, as when I visited folk from the bell foundry, not Whitechapel sadly, were removing at least one of the old bells and replacing it.
When I walked past in the morning, it seemed as though St Clement wouldn't be open, but late in the afternoon as I ambled back to the hotel, the west door was open.
Inside it was dark, the chancel even more so, so dark I could only see the gilded halos of the Saints on the east wall, the rest was lost in gloom.
Can I come in and have a look round, I ask, as there are hard hats, lifting tackle scattered around. Just be careful, I was told.
-------------------------------------------
The exterior is a lively mixture of styles, with the tower of the 1820s (somewhat silly - Pevsner) and the aisles rebuilt in the 1530s, right on the eve of the Reformation. The chancel is a brick construction of the early 18th Century, with few hints of gothick about it yet, but all this belies an interior which is architecturally speaking all of the cusp of the 13th and 14th Centuries.
In liturgical terms, St Clement was traditionally the Highest of all the city centre churches, but has fallen into considerable disrepair over the last twenty years or so. It never used to be open, but there has been a great effort to bring it back to life recently, and visitors are encouraged. Even so, the interior is in a very poor state, especially the ceiling of the south aisle, which is used by a congregation of the Greek Orthodox church. F R Leach's chancel mural of the 1870s, redolent of the militant triumphalism of the early Anglo-catholic movement, is rather thrilling and worth preserving.

-------------------------------------------
The present church was built in the first half of the 13th century, and it is believed to be on the site of an earlier building.[4][5] The walls are of rubble with some brick with freestone dressings. The building initially consisted of the four west bays of the north and south arcades of the nave. The nave arcades and South door remain from the 13th century. There is an inventory of church goods for the year 1278. The east bay of the arcades appear to have been rebuilt in the 14th century. There is an octagonal, perpendicular font. The first pier on both sides was rebuilt in 1538, the clear-story and aisle windows were added, and north and the south aisles were rebuilt and widened. The advowson passed from St Radegund's Priory to Jesus College.
The present chancel, built in brick, was added in 1726, replacing an earlier one that was demolished in 1568. It contains a fine mural of 1872 on the east wall by Frederick Leach, of Christ in Glory surrounded by angels and saints. The tower, designed by Charles Humfrey, is of cement render and initially had a spire; it was added in 1821-2, after a bequest by William Cole. Pevsner describes the tower as "somewhat silly".[6] A vestry was built on the site of the former north chapel in 1866. The spire was removed from the tower in 1928. A chapel was created in the south aisle in 1933, with screens in Anglo-Baroque style.
The church has the oldest memorial to a Mayor of Cambridge; the French inscription on the tombstone of Eudo of Helpringham who died in 1329 during his sixth mayoralty gives an early version of the modern form of the name of the town—'Caunbrege'. In the north aisle there is a beam with a carved punning inscription of c. 1538, which is thought to indicate that Thomas Brakyn, who lived in the parish at the time, contributed to the cost; he is buried in St Clement's churchyard. The church registers begin in 1560.
A notable Vicar of St Clement's was Canon Edmund Gough de Salis Wood,[7] who served as Curate to the Revd Arthur Ward from 1865–85, and then as Vicar from 1885-1930. He lived in the Old Vicarage, and was buried in the churchyard by special permission from the Diocese of Ely. He was a tractarian who followed ritualistic worship at St Clement’s, though he adhered strictly to the Book of Common Prayer. With his brother, he founded the Society for the Maintenance of the Faith, to hold patronage for Anglo-Catholic parishes.[8] He was also a noted authority on ecclesiastical law, and his publications include The Regal Power of the Church, Or, the Fundamentals of the Canon Law: A Dissertation, Macmillan & Bowes, 1888.[9] The chapel in the south aisle of the church is a memorial to Canon Wood.
His successor was the barrister-priest Fr James Tait Plowden-Wardlaw, Vicar from 1931–41, who often published as 'Father Clement' or 'Clement Humilis' and maintained the Anglo-Catholic tradition. His publications include Catholic Reunion: An Anglican Plea for a Uniate Patriarchate of Canterbury and for an Anglican Ultramontanism, Oxford, 1935.[10] He was followed by Fr Cuthbert Cubitt Keet, another Anglo-Catholic, and an authority on the psalms, whose publications include A Study of the Psalms of Ascent, Mitre, 1969.[11] Subsequent priests included the Venerable David Walser and Fr Ian McMahon.
Present day
The church housed a Greek Orthodox congregation of St Athanasios from 1968, until the congregation moved to its own church on Cherry Hinton Road.[12] St Clement's is currently home to the Parish of St Ephraim the Syrian, an English-speaking Russian Orthodox parish of the Diocese of Sourozh.[13]
After a long vacancy, a viability plan, drawn up by a working group from the congregation, was accepted by the Bishop of Ely in December 2013. A Priest-in-Charge (Canon Nick Moir) was appointed in June 2014. The church has embarked upon a process of renewal, continuing to stand in the Prayer Book Catholic tradition of the Church of England.[14] In 2016 the church, currently on the Heritage at Risk Register,[15] received a £94,000 grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.[16]
As a traditionalist catholic parish, the PCC of St Clement's passed resolutions A and B of the Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1993, rejecting the ordination of women to the priesthood.[17] Under the 2014 House of Bishops' Declaration, the parish requested to receive alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Richborough.[18] As of 2020, it has rescinded these resolutions and remains under the episcopal care of the Bishop of Ely.

''It's something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present'' - R. Magritte (Belgian surrealist painter, 1898 - 1967)
"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."

A short video compilation for all Electro Motive Diesel Lovers who loves the humming and the aggressive honking of these locos . Diesel Locos of IR be it ALCos or the raging EMDs truly reflect the true colours of Indian Railways , rather than uniformly liveried Electric Locos .
Gone are those days when IR and the respective electric loco sheds used to paint locos by matching the livery of the train rake along with the loco .
Seen in this video are passenger and freight class EMDs of different Diesel Sheds with different trains . Hope you will enjoy this video compilation , and dont forget to hit the Subscribe button below .

Another shot of the Golden Trumpet Tree, but the color is quite different here. This one really is golden, but my previous shot is more yellow, which is the way that I remember it looking. I originally uploaded this shot because I wanted to show the green leaves, but decided not to use it, until I was encouraged by my friend, Judi (~MAMA Z~).
A version of the claw game found at the Eilat bus stop. The prize is cigarettes packs wrapped in shekels.
Here is a view of the CN tower from the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) grounds -- i've never seen this view before. The building to the left is the Direct Energy Centre.
This canvas probably has about eleventy billion different paintings on it. Sometime last week, I slapped gesso over whatever was last painted (which obviously made a huge impact as I can't remember what it was). I stippled medium over the gesso so that the canvas would have some texture to it. After that, I added glitter and then painted over the glitter with the background paint for even more texture. I also left some over the top so there's a shimmery quality to it as well as the rough, sandy texture.
This one made me a little nervous. The photo I drew from is gorgeous and I didn't want to fail miserably because I adore the photo so much. (I think it's because the gal in the photo reminds me of Fairuza Balk, whom I adore.)
I wound up changing it a lot though. The pose is relatively similar. In the photo, she's wearing jeans and I knew I wouldn't be able to do proper justice to her ass. (That sounds so wrong, but the chick in the photo had a fabulous ass. A work of art in itself--not something to be bastardised by an amateur in practise.) I also liked the idea of the pose on a bed with sheets, so it worked out well. And I could cover her hands because I am NOT good at hands.
In the photo, some of her face is visible in a side profile. I couldn't get it right so I opted for long hair instead. (Photo model had a bob.) I think the hair will actually lend itself better to the idea I'm going for. I want to try the tattoo on this one.
My daughter and I really like this color and we were messing around with it. Her nails were black and my pinky was gray. So we tried the Mona Lisa on the two different base colors. They came out quite different.
Different diameters and completely different parts ... for completely different lever styles. Left for drop bar levers... right for Tourist levers.
Notice the thinner and shorter bolt for the tourist lever on the right. The width of the band is also more narrow - the band on the left will not fit within the cut-outs at the openings of the Tourist lever bodies.

Two different R1200RT-Ps and the F800ST here.!
I have done three sets of two shifts now. Each shift is 12 hours hence 72 hours done! On average I have done four to six runs per shift, sometimes two jobs on one run. If we said five per shift and I have done six shifts that is 30 runs.. Wonder how much the taxis charged the hospitals for conveying the blood & tissue samples!
Nice to know I am saving the NHS some valuable dosh! :)
