In the olden times, plenty of ghosts and demons were active during the long and cold nights in mid-winter of the alps. The origins of this belief are probably rooted in various Germanic traditions based on a female divinity. Frau Perchta (Ms. Perchta) was a demonic creator, half god, half man, who appears at the end of the old year / beginning of the New Year, accompanied by various evil figures. She cared for the people and protected them against bad demons.
These masks belong to the Doana-Gsindl, a group of people celebrating the tradition of Perchten in Regensburg.
The photograph was taken during Holi (the festival of Colors) in March 2017, at Nandgaon, Mathura (India) where group of people were enjoying and murmuring the hym of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha. The Man playing the Dafli (Tambourine) was so much lost in the musical hym whose mood made me to capture this photograph

Inverbrackie, South Australia
Former Inverbrackie Caledonian Church.
Land was slowly taken up here from the early 1840s. One of the first residents was Dr William Innes, a Scot who named the locality Inverbrackie after his home in Scotland near Invergordon which is across the Firth of Moray from Nairn. The Scottish McLeods had owned Inverbrackie or Inverbreakie (spellings vary) castle from the 1300s. They were related to the Innes family. In 1699 the McLeods sold Inverbrackie Castle to Sir William Gordon who was part of the Earls of Sutherland family. Sir William Gordon renamed the castle Invergordon, hence the name of today’s Scottish town. In 1873 the remains of the 14th century castle were absorbed into a newly constructed Elizabethan style mansion. Unfortunately this was totally destroyed by fire in 1928 and the castle grounds are now the Inverbreakie Golf course on the outskirts of Invergordon. Dr Innes, James Johnston of Oakbank and others met at the tiny Payne’s Inn at Inverbrackie SA in 1846 and decided to ask the colonial government for a land grant to establish a Church of Scotland there. They got a free grant of 20 acres and £150 towards the construction of the church. The Scottish church subsequently opened in 1849 and Dr Innes was the first burial in the attached cemetery that year. The church was also used as a school as the Scots placed great importance on education. 24 children were attending the Inverbrackie School by 1851. The school closed in 1857 when the first Woodside School opened. In 1852 parishioners guaranteed a stipend to entice John Macbean from Scotland to come out as the local Presbyterian minister. A manse was built on the glebe lands for him. In 1868 Macbean got the Inverbrackie church into the Presbyterian Union of SA. He finished up as minister at Inverbrackie in 1884. Later ministers served both the Inverbrackie and Woodside Presbyterian churches. Reverend Stewart was the last minister to serve Inverbrackie between 1922 and 1926 but it is not known how often services were conducted there as the Presbyterian church in Woodside was the main one from 1878. The manse and glebe lands were sold in 1925 and the church closed permanently soon after. Miraculously this 1849 church still stands on lands adjacent to Woodside Army Barracks but it is covered with ivy. It deserves restoration by the government.
Divine light in the Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of those places that make you wonder, even if you are not religious, was this beauty made by the forces of nature or something greater than? In either case the Grand Canyon is a spiritual and grounding experience.
In this particular photo the sun rays enhance the feeling of divinity.

In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

St. Aldhelm's Chapel,
Isle of Purbeck,
Dorset.
88sec Exposure with Kase Filters
TAKEN - 6.53p.m. Sat 29th Aug'20
St Aldhelm's Chapel is a Norman chapel on St Aldhelm's Head in the parish of Worth Matravers, Swanage, Dorset. It stands close to the cliffs, 108 metres (354 ft) above sea level. It is a Grade I listed building.
The square stone chapel stands within a low circular earthwork, which may be the remains of a pre-Conquest Christian enclosure. The building has several architectural features which are unusual for a chapel; the square shape, the orientation of the corners of the building towards the cardinal points, and the division and restriction of the interior space by a large central column.
The lack of evidence for an altar or a piscina suggests that the building may not have been built as a Chapel. It may have originally been built as a watchtower for Corfe Castle, covering the sea approaches to the south. Its identification as a purpose-built chapel rests on records of payments to a chaplain in the reign of King Henry III (1261–1272).
Złaków Kościelny, Poland

I have seen so many snaps of fog, but this is the 1st time, I witnessed it in person.
It was such a divine feel seeing that thin layer of fog linger around the valley floor until the sun hit them. It was a wonderful day in Yosemite!
