A cemetery is a sacred place where dead relatives, relatives and friends are buried. It has long been customary to mark their burials with remarkable signs. Christians set up a cross for this. Where did this tradition come from?
What does history say?
Initially, the tomb cross on the grave was the designation of one or more burials. After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it acquired a sacred meaning.
Interestingly, in the Roman Empire, death on the cross was considered the most shameful and terrible execution. Such a sentence was given to malicious violators: thieves, murderers and traitors. The criminals died a painful death. They suffered from pain, heat, thirst and annoying insects.
The concept that the body of the deceased is in the earth, and the soul in heaven, appeared in the 5th century. The grave was decorated with a cross depicting the living Christ. After the death of Jesus, a crucifix with a resurrected teacher began to be placed on the cross. In addition, there were a wreath of thorns, blood, etc. Only by the 10th century did Orthodox believers accept the death of Christ and began to portray him as dead.
I personally am far from religion... Epidemics, wars, natural disasters... the funeral business is flourishing... those who buried their relatives and friends understand me.
As this year closes, it's easy to see the negatives and relive them repeatedly as in every day that follows we are constantly reminded. As with previous year's this year as seen the loss of dearly loved ones; family, friends, relatives, lover's, co-workers. Entities that were a fundamental part of a familial ecosystem conducive to the functions of our daily life. Nothing fills the void to a uniquely irreplaceable personage.
Life will not always proceed the way we want, and though we may not have every minute answer to all the details of what to do, or where to go next, sometimes we all just need to stop, and reevaluate ourselves and take a moment to realize what is truly important.
So as 2021 closes, I hope that we can all take a moment to let some things come to a close along with it. A pandemic, or epidemic may not go away any time soon, but that does not mean we cannot resolve things that are within our control. Unless woefully bad and a risk to your health and well being, that disagreement with someone that keeps you from talking to them really is not all that important. if they, or you died today, what would that feud matter? The person you swore before God that you loved that is now neglected for someone else? Why did you love them in the first place? Maybe they changed, but they are still with you, and you have changed too. That best friend that "stole" someone from you? That person wasn't for you in the first place, doesn't mean you need to trust either of them, but for you own growth, talk, forgive, move on. Does not mean you have to hangout and catch up. But hanging on to that animosity only does more damage.
Forgiveness is not about forgetting, its about realizing everyone has flaws, some that one can live with, some that cannot be forgotten. When you love a person, and forgive them and stay, let the forgiveness be the end of that past fault. In truly forgiving and moving on, we ourselves become a better person for it, and forgiving that wrongdoer leaves them the burden of guilt for what they have done. Does not mean we return to bad situation, but realizing we forgive that person, for their flaws, and also forgive ourselves for not learning sooner that we are a higher value than what that person values us for and that though it may seem a long time, someone can, and will recognize our value.
Nothing stays the same, yesterday is gone, but our present is the first set of steps to what we can make to be a happy and safe future, if we so choose to do so.
Wishing everyone love, forgiveness, and to stay safe, stay healthy and a wonderful 2022.
Five of a kind: Taiwan marks 5 days with zero new coronavirus cases
Taiwan CECC announces no new coronavirus cases for 5th straight day, 18 days without local cases.
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) on Thursday (April 30) announced that there were no new cases of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) for a record fifth day in a row.
During his daily press conference on Thursday afternoon, Chen announced no new cases of the virus. This marks the 18th day that the country has not reported a local case and the first time that zero cases (either imported or domestic) have been reported five days in a row.
Five members of the CECC team celebrated by holding up coffee cup lids with the number zero on the top. The lids came from coffee mugs with "Taiwan Can Help" printed on them.
Now the corona epidemic, but has become no longer be able to cherry-blossom viewing, I enjoy to just at least in the SL 😊🌸

Rhinoceros: since 1973 the population has recovered well and increased to 544 animals around the turn of the century. To ensure the survival of the endangered species in case of epidemics animals are translocated annually from Chitwan to the Bardia National Park and the Sukla Phanta Wildlife Reserve since 1986. However, the population has repeatedly been jeopardized by poaching: in 2002 alone, poachers killed 37 individuals in order to saw off and sell their valuable horns.[6] Chitwan has the largest population of Indian rhinoceros in Nepal, estimated at 605 individuals out of 645 in total in the country.
Der Park ist bekannt für die Population des Panzernashorns, die bis zur Jahrtausendwende auf 544 Tiere und bis zum Frühjahr 2015 auf 645 Nashörner[6] angewachsen war. Seit 1986 werden alljährlich Tiere von Chitwan in den Bardia-Nationalpark und in das Suklaphanta-Wildreservat übersiedelt. Die Population war aber immer wieder durch Wilderei stark gefährdet: allein im Jahre 2002 haben Wilderer 37 Tiere grausam getötet, um das kostbare Horn absägen und verkaufen zu können. Die letzte Zählung im Jahr 2011 ergab insgesamt 503 Nashörner im Park, im selben Zeitraum starben zwei Tiere durch Wilderer. Bei der Zählung im Frühjahr 2015 wurden 645 Tiere in Nepal gefunden[6], davon 605 im Chitwan-Nationalpark[8], während gleichzeitig in den letzten drei Jahren kein Tier durch Wilderer ums Leben kam.
Saint Angel Castle, is a tomb - "Mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian", his family and successors. The construction of mausoleum began during Hadrian's lifetime, but it was only completed during the reign of his successor Antoninus Pius in 139. In 271, the building was incorporated into the system of defensive walls of Rome, and it ceased to serve as a mausoleum. At the beginning of the 5th century it was rebuilt into a fortress.
At the end of 5th century, Pope Gregory the Great renamed the building to the Castle of St. Angel to commemorate appearance during the plague above the mausoleum, Angel hiding his sword as a sign of the end of the epidemic. In 608, Pope Boniface IV at the top of the fortress erected the chapel of St. Angel in Heaven.

Zamek Świętego Anioła, jest grobowcem - "Mauzoleum cesarza Hadriana", jego rodziny oraz następców. Budowę mauzoleum rozpoczęto za życia Hadriana, ukończono jednak dopiero za panowania jego następcy Antoninusa Piusa w 139 roku. W roku 271 budowlę włączono w system murów obronnych Rzymu, przestała pełnić funkcję mauzoleum. Na początku V wieku została przebudowana na fortecę.
Pod koniec VI wieku papież Grzegorz I Wielki przemianował budowlę na Zamek św. Anioła, aby upamiętnić ukazanie się podczas zarazy, nad mauzoleum anioła chowającego miecz na znak końca epidemii. W 608 roku papież Bonifacy IV na szczycie fortecy wzniósł kaplicę Świętego Anioła w Niebie.
When I took this photo of a juvenile Moorhen at the Grandlieu Lake, I was unaware that a botulism epidemic had already been underway since the end of June.
Currently, thousands of waterbirds have died in Loire-Atlantique (France) , both at Grandlieu Lake and in the Brière Marshes.
Dead birds are being collected daily and those which can be saved are taken by care centers.
The situation is very critical especially since the migratory birds will be arriving in a few weeks.
This epidemic is due to low water levels combined with recent high temperatures, which are favoring the development of the bacteria.
The low levels are due to the weather but also to human activity. The levels are lowered voluntarily by farmers so the cattle can graze there. There is a whole system of locks and the water flows into the Atlantic Ocean. There are conflicts of use with a regulation that is no longer adapted to increasingly dry years.
◇◇◇
Lorsque j'ai pris cette photo d'une Gallinule juvénile au Lac de Grandlieu, j'ignorais qu'une épidémie de botulisme était déjà installée depuis la fin du mois de juin.
A l'heure actuelle, des milliers d'oiseaux sont morts en Loire-Atlantique, tant au Lac de Grandlieu que dans les Marais de Brière. Des ramassages d'oiseaux morts ont lieu quotidiennement et ceux qui peuvent être sauvés sont pris en charge par des centres de soin.
La situation est extrêmement critique d'autant que les migrateurs vont arriver dans quelques semaines.
Cette épidémie est dûe à des niveaux d'eau trop bas associés aux récentes fortes chaleurs qui favorisent le développement de la bactérie.
Les niveaux d'eaux extrêmement bas sont dûs à la météo mais aussi à l'activité humaine car ils sont volontairement descendus par les agriculteurs pour pouvoir y faire paître le bétail. L'eau est directement envoyée dans la mer. Il y a des conflits d'usage avec un règlement qui n'est plus adapté aux années de plus en plus sèches.
Je remercie Thierry de m'avoir informée de cette épidémie et aussi pour avoir aidé en tant que bénévole au ramassage des oiseaux morts : www.flickr.com/photos/25295081@N05/54666296386/in/datepos...

By then, certain residential compounds had been locked down, rumours had begun to spread and the flow of people on the street had decreased significantly, though most residents remained unaffected.

In the year, 1518 a woman named Frau Troffea
Started dancing in Strasbourg
and couldn't stop.
An epidemic of joy
The craze spread
The uncontrollable desire to move
Neighbors and passing witnesses
Were infected like a fire
Could not stand still
An unbearable sensation until all the limbs flailed and
The doctors and police wailed.
It had to be illness...or sin....
Something outside of the body
Now within
And then, the dancing was banned
A woman's body just had to be controlled
Even then.
Time and space is an illusion.

The old Presbyterian Cemetery was established in 1827. In the mid-1880s, a ship carrying immigrants arrived in the area which had experienced a cholera epidemic on board; numerous immigrants were buried in the southern part of the cemetery in an unmarked area who died shortly after their arrival. In 1897, the cemetery was closed. Many of the bodies and stones from the old cemetery were relocated to the new cemetery, and many unmarked graves were discovered in the process and also moved. These are the few graves that still remain on site.

The "QR code for the place" on the wall outside the window is a new-born relic of the past, after six months of monitoring the lives of the residents, as China has completely abandoned its anti-epidemic restrictions.
Theoretically, each customer was supposed to scan the "QR code for the place" with his/her smartphone, which then displayed a so-called "health QR code": if it was green, it meant there is no problem, if it was yellow, the customer would be refused and, if it was red, everyone, whether the customer with the red QR code or the shop assistants who were present, would be arrested and taken to a concentration camp for quarantine.

She noticed that I was photographing her and pulled up her mask. For most of us, wearing a mask is an acting act, a disguise and, most of the time, a complete waste in terms of epidemic prevention.

On 29 March, it was rumoured that the PCR screening results in Pudong, Shanghai were so horrific that Puxi would be locked down earlier than the original date of 1 April. This caused a rush to buy.

In the night of March 27th, an announcement was made by the Shanghai government to close Pudong and Puxi in succession.
At midnight that night, Pudong went into lockdown first. On the following day, the residents in Puxi rushed to buy vegetables, meat and fish, and food prices soared.
At the time, however, people like the ones in this photo mostly thought the food rush had nothing to do with them. Now, many of ones like them are scared out of their wits by the harsh and barbaric govermental measures and are making plans to flee this desperate country.

Captured in September 2020. Today Glasgow remains in level 3 lockdown restrictions with a high level of the B1.617.2 variant of coronavirus dominant in the area. Although I have had both vaccine doses the advice is to avoid travel to and from Glasgow unless absolutely necessary. It will be a while yet before I consider it safe enough for street photography to resume for me. Stay safe everyone!

On 28 March, the day after the announcement of the successive lockdown of Pudong and Puxi and the first day of the lockdown in Pudong, the city centre of Puxi was left untouched for the time being while a rush for food had happened.
Because the Grand Hotel has adopted a low-price strategy and the booking rate is now rising, the epidemic prevention lighting had come to an end on May 6.

At 2 p.m. on 31 March 2022, cordons were drawn up all along the streets and the officials were urging the shops to close. This grocery shop was so packed with people and was never likely to reopen from then until today, and no one knows if it will ever open again.

The diphtheria epidemics of 1883 and 1897-1898 and cholera in 1894 during the early settlement years took the lives of many people living in the Pleasant Plains area. Many of the graves were marked by planting clumps of iris, bushes, or trees or just putting limestone rocks on the gravesite. With the passage of time, the limestone rocks deteriorated and flowers, bushes and trees died. It is estimated there were about 100 burials in the cemetery from 1879 to 1915. As near as can be determined, the last burial was about 1912.

society is the epidemic, they all talk about you, about me, indirectly, behind backs, talk as if they speak right from the gap where the soul should be, that we’re in depression instead of consciousness and dreams are symptoms. As if they have transferred to a word a disease, and drop us like a sentence into the depth of empty eyes and there’s no wall, but only a sharp sheet of paper between us and them.
Are we the dreams of sleepwalkers? The awakened in a dream?
I really love you, Kostaki
Due to the recent epidemic/pandemic, social distancing, and just plain being careful, I've been staying home as of late. What this means is: no photography for a while. So, why not dive into the archives and see what I can find. Here's one from almost 7 years ago. A cowboy showing off his stuff near the Portland Saturday Market. Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone! =)

In 1892, a cholera epidemic devastated the docklands population, convincing the city of Hamburg to demolish the warren of overcrowded, unhygienic alleyways and start again. First came the Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world built between 1885 and 1927. Then came the Kontorhaus district. Both are part of the World Heritage site designated in 2015.
The Sprinkenhof is an architectural masterpiece and one of the great examples of Brick Expressionism, with lovely details like the intricate, late-art deco interior staircase and one of the few remaining paternoster elevators. Designed by architects Fritz Höger and the Jewish brothers Hans and Askar Gerson in 1927, the Sprinkenhof took 16 years to build in three phases. Construction was delayed by economic crises and political upheaval, the death of Hans Gerson in 1931, his brother’s persecution and eventual exile in 1938. The building was finally inaugurated in May 1943. Two months later, Allied firebombs gutted parts of it, causing damage that took years to repair.

Captured during the summer 'lull' in case rates on August 28th 2020. It sounds like the UK Prime Minister has already abandoned his 'cautious' approach and his plan to ease restrictions 'based on data and not dates' by announcing a series of dates whereby he will irreversibly revoke restrictions that are designed to keep us all safe.
Children spread diseases, they always have and they always will. Seeing that the current infection rate is highest amongst children who, frankly, have been in school at far higher numbers than 'essential workers children only' rates would suggest, we will have another surge in case loads within a couple of weeks of schools returning. Just look at the graphs for when schools opened up after the summer. Lockdown 4.0 will be needed the way this is going and while I understand that we cannot keep children out of school forever, there needs to be a better, and safer, plan implemented. Children are capable of wearing masks, washing hands. keeping distance and schooling on a rota system just as the WHO suggest they are. Sigh.
Stay safe everyone - we are not out of the woods yet!

Multiple studies have shown that there are genetic factors and gut microbiome factors that can lead to an increased likelihood of obesity. It is not always as simple as 'eat less' or 'exercise more' as there are many other factors at play including eating disorders, mental health issues and disability. We should never judge unless we have walked in someone else's shoes. Obesity is a modern epidemic of which science is still learning so please note that any derogatory comments will be removed. We are all human and we all deserve understanding and care.
Stay safe out there everyone!
I played with some different setting in this mornings timelapse leaving the aperture wide open at f/2.8. That was to avoid flickr which I haven't noticed, but one person was kind enough to point out that he saw some. I still don't see it but would appreciate any feedback if anyone else does on any of the timelapses. I used an interval of 3 seconds this morning since the clouds were moving fairly quickly.

I have a saying that only one in thirty sunrises are exceptional. Fortunately, timelapse increases my odds. As long as there is movement, I find them very entertaining to watch and record. Today, however, was spectacular so I labelled it "One in Thirty".

Located on the Piazza del Duomo in Bergamo Citta Alta, one can admire the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a remarkable example of Lombard Romanesque. Building work started in 1137 (twelfth century) thanks to a town vote which promised the construction of a splendid church in exchange for the end of the plague epidemic which had afflicted the city. The primitive Romanesque structure (one nave and two aisles, with two major portals, two minor portals and an octagonal cupola) has been reworked over the centuries to the point where it is now very difficult to detect it. The most radical change was the construction of the Colleoni Chapel in the place of the old sacristy, at the same time as the addition, on the northern side, of the new sacristy. The Gothic steeple which dominates the portal is, in turn, an addition made in the fifteenth century. All the portals are the work of Giovanni da Campione. Of these the one next to the Colleoni Chapel (1353) deserves particular attention, as it blends Romanesque features (the round type of arch, the decoration of the portal depicting medieval animals and warriors), with a more exquisitely Gothic flavour. Giovanni da Campione is actually one of the last of the group of so-called "Campionese masters", who lived and worked in the transitional period from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. The equestrian statue of St Alexander by the same artist, which dominates the portal can already be fully classed as Gothic style.
The inside has also been radically changed compared to the original Romanesque structure, by decorations in stucco and marble from the seventeenth century; a wooden choir by Andrea Previtali (1470-1528) and Bernardino Zenale (1450-1526, one of the architects who contributed to the building of Milan Cathedral), following a design by Lorenzo Lotto; a wooden confessional by Andrea Fantoni, an interesting example of baroque art; Flemish tapestries from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the one which depicts the "Crocefissione" (Crucifixion) is particularly spectacular; frescos from the Giottesque school of the 1400s, representing the Stories of the Life of St Eligio and an "Ultima Cena" (Last Supper).

In the night of March 27th, an announcement was made by the Shanghai government to close Pudong and Puxi in succession.
At midnight that night, Pudong went into lockdown first. On the following day, the residents in Puxi rushed to buy vegetables, meat and fish, and food prices soared.
However, this marketplace was ordered to suspend its business to be disinfected and sterilised. Large quantities of vegetables had to be piled up on the streets and could not be brought into the marketplaces. It was almost like a war was coming. Residents who came to buy vegetables had to seek other places or wait until this marketplace reopened.

At the time, people like them mostly thought the food rush had nothing to do with them. Now, many of ones like them are scared out of their wits by the harsh and barbaric govermental measures and are making plans to flee this desperate country.

On 28 March, the day after the announcement of the successive lockdown of Pudong and Puxi and the first day of the lockdown in Pudong, the city centre of Puxi was left untouched for the time being while a rush for food had happened.
This street corner, where the flower seller has always occupied, is a place of leisure for the fashionably wealthy. It seemed that he did not mind the impending lockdown of the city. Now the lockdown has been in place for more than twenty days, I wonder how people like this who make a living on the streets get by.
