Elemental Kauai, Hawaii ___________________ Photography Portfolio: ift.tt/1eR6nh3 Photo Tours: www.caphototours.com ___________________ When my buddy who lives in Kauai told me that it is really hard to get a clean Milky Way shot on the island because of the constant cloud cover I didn’t totally believe him. however after a week on the Island I can see what he means. however, I lucked out one night and got some great clear skies and was able to get this shot. This shot was taken at Spouting Horn on the south side of the island. It is a geyser the spits up a tall shaft of water when the waves crash into the coast. There is also a small vent hole next to it that pushes out air and makes this Jurassic sound… really creepy at night. Anyway, my friend told me to ignore the big “Danger: Area Closed” signs and walk out on the rocks and right up to Spouting Horn instead of shooting it from the touristy overlook. He assured me that no one would bother me. Around halfway through shooting I saw a flashlight and the clear outline of a cop walking down the rocks to me. I started practicing my “No officer, I didn’t see the sign” speech that we have all given scores of times. Luckily he was really cool and just wanted to make sure I was safe and that a wave didn’t wash me out to sea. He actually enjoyed checking out my shots and then headed back up the rocks… Got luck on that one. I was sure I was going to end up getting a fine. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the shot. Please consider liking/favoriting the photo, leaving a comment or sharing it with your friends. Thanks! via 500px ift.tt/1N9OLO0 AaronKeigher
These meditation/prayer beads represent the Elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Each grouping of 6 stones were chosen for their specific elements and the Sterling Silver Charms were chosen for the same reason. It's small enough to tuck into your pocket or purse, yet carries a wealth of meaning.
These meditation beads measure 7 1/2" (19cm) in length from the center of the beads to the bottom of the charms.
Earth - Green Agate with Tourmalinated Quartz, and the Elemental charm is an Acorn.
Air - Yellow Jade with Quartz, and the Elemental charm is a Feather.
Fire - Fire Opal with Carnelian, and the Elemental charm is a Sun with a Carnelian drop.
Water - Sodalite with Quartz, and the Elemental charm is a Sea Shell.
The number "6" is a balanced number of harmony, beauty, and reconciliation corresponding to the Sun and the Universe.

The ancient parish of St Pancras once stretched almost from Oxford Street to Highgate. By the early 1800s the original parish church had become neglected. The local population had declined, while the population in southern part of the parish had grown rapidly. A new church was needed to serve the newly built up areas surrounding Euston Square
After a competition involving thirty or so tenders, designs by the local architect William Inwood, in collaboration with his son Henry William Inwood, were accepted. The builder was Isaac Seabrook.
The first stone was laid by the Duke of York at a ceremony on 1 July 1819. It was carved with a Greek inscription, of which the English translation is, “May the light of the blessed Gospel thus ever illuminate the dark temples of the Heathen.”
The church was consecrated by the Bishop of London on 7 May 1822, and the sermon was preached by the vicar of St Pancras, James Moore.
The total cost of the building, including land and furnishings, was £76,679, making it the most expensive church to be built in London since the rebuilding of St Paul’s Cathedral. It was designed to seat 2,500 people.
The church has a Grade I listing from English Heritage, as an important early example of the Greek Revival architecture. It is mostly built from brick, faced with Portland stone. The portico and the tower are entirely of stone. All the external decoration, including the capitals of the columns, is of terracotta.
The Inwoods drew on two ancient Greek monuments for their inspiration – the Erechtheum and the Tower of the Winds, both on the Acropolis in Athens.
Henry William Inwood was in Athens at the time that the plans for St Pancras were accepted, and he brought back to England plaster casts of details of the Erechtheum, and some excavated fragments.
The pillars at the west end of the church are Ionic in style. The octagonal tower, modelled on the Tower of the Winds, also influences the shape of the domed central vestibule. The church’s most celebrated features are the two sets of caryatids that stand above the north and south entrances to the Crypt. Unlike the original figures on the Acropolis, each of the St Pancras caryatids holds an extinguished torch or an empty jug, reflecting their position as guardians of the dead.
The caryatids are made of terracotta, constructed in sections around cast-iron columns, and were modelled by John Charles Felix Rossi, who provided all the terracotta on the building.
