Gerrie was explaining to Huntley what the white cups were for. I personally like tea over coffee but do like it occasionally.

I've mentioned "karst" in my previous photo and I'd like to visualize it with this photo.
I was talking about the "Gottesacker", a Karst landscape on the Hoher Ifen. Imagine the cracked rock face in this photo as a huge area with even deeper cracks and crevasses, lying under your feet. That is a Karst landscape. It took millions of years for rain and streams to dissolve part of the limestone (like the one we see here).
This photo was taken from the same spot as the previous one.
This song sparrow was telling me the reason I shouldn't approach any further on the path. Unfortunately, I had too far to go to return back the way I came, so it eventually had to be the one to yield.
The Church of Edward the Confessor
Situated in the Market Place, Romford, RM1 3AB. The earliest known house of worship was built in 1177 and was known as St Andrew’s Chapel. This building was demolished in the 14th century after many years of neglect. A new church was erected towards the end of the 14th century and completed in 1410. This was dedicated to The Virgin Mary and Edward the Confessor. Originally built with a Nave, a Chancel and extended North Aisle. It also featured a brick tower for five bells. Later a gallery was built for a charity for orphaned children. In 1710 it was renamed St Edward’s School and was later moved to another part of Market Place in 1728.
The church building was still in use but again fell into disrepair then work on a new church on the same site was started in 1844 and in 1849 the last service was held in the old church, then it was demolished. Only Blore’s chapel remained and was used as a burial yard until 1953, when this was also demolished.
The new building was consecrated in 1850 by Bishop of Rochester, George Murray. He was resident of Danbury Palace, Danbury, Essex. Architect John Johnson designed the church (he also designed Alexandra Palace). The church was designed in ‘Gothic Style’ and built from Kentish ragstone, it also used materials from John Nash’s in Regent Street. There are many carved heads situated in the church and this is thought to be the explanation of their being there.
It did suffer some war damage, but only minor. The biggest loss was the bells were used in the war effort and in 1944 a set of chime bells and an electric clock were installed.
Since then, major renovation work was completed in1988 and again in 1992. A new organ was installed in 1979 and in 2001 a statue of Edward the confessor was installed in the main porch.
Legend
There is a legend that the name Havering, a district close by to Romford, was named after a connection to Edward the Confessor and St John the apostle in the form of a ring. This was commemorated in a stain glass window of 1407, in the old chapel. I believe that this window does not exist now but a more modern one was installed in 1850 the 600th anniversary of the church.
This is the first of three postings.

Katholische Kirche St. Georg
Die Seekirche wurde 784 begonnen, vermutlich anfangs als kleine, hölzerne Basilka mit sichtbarem Deckengebälk. 1403 wurde der Kirchturm vollendet, 1655 durch Blitzschlag zerstört und im Stil des Elias Holl in Augsburg wieder aufgebaut. Das Kirchenschiff wurde erweitert 1728. Inschriften im Inneren: Epitaph Leopold Fuggers über der Sakristeitür; verschiedene Kriegergedächtnistafeln. An drei Säulen erinnern Steintafeln an die "Seefrörnen", das gänzliche Zufrieren des Bodensees 1573, 1830 und 1963. Im Nordeingang Hinweisblätter mit den Geschichtsdaten und Erklärungen der Gemeinde. 1871 bis 1920 wurde das Gotteshaus im klassizistischen Stil renoviert und 1976 restauriert.
Catholic Church of St. George
The construction of the Seekirche was begun in 784, probably initially as a small, wooden Basilka with visible ceiling beams. In 1403, the church tower was completed, destroyed by lightning in 1655 and rebuilt in the style of Elias Holl in Augsburg. The nave was enlarged in 1728. Inscriptions inside: Epitaph Leopold Fuggers above the sacristy door; different warrior memory boards. At three pillars stone tablets remind of the "Seefrörnen", the complete freezing of Lake Constance in 1573, 1830 and 1963. In the north entrance information sheets with the historical data and explanations of the municipality. From 1871 to 1920, the church was renovated in Classicist style and restored in 1976.
A lot of scenes in the desert evade explanations. The rusting tank is there now, it doesn't really matter why.

Explanation: A bright spiral galaxy of the northern sky, Messier 63 is about 25 million light-years distant in the loyal constellation Canes Venatici. Also cataloged as NGC 5055, the majestic island universe is nearly 100,000 light-years across, about the size of our own Milky Way. Known by the popular moniker, The Sunflower Galaxy, M63 sports a bright yellowish core and sweeping blue spiral arms, streaked with cosmic dust lanes and dotted with pink star forming regions. This deep exposure also reveals an enormous but dim arc extending far into the halo above the brighter galactic plane. A collaboration of professional and amateur astronomers has shown the arc to be consistent with the stellar stream from a smaller satellite galaxy, tidally disrupted as it merged with M63 during the last 5 billion years. Their discovery is part of an increasing body of evidence that the growth of large spirals by cannibalizing smaller galaxies is commonplace in the nearby Universe.
