parish church of santa maria, mosta, malta;
on a following day
poured down heavy rain and blown by storm.
i know that's because i took some shots in a cathedral.
the catholic god told me "no photo please!".
i got totally wet and soaked,
but quite impressed by every step on this lovely island.

Photographed for the Flickr Friday theme "Equal".
Coincidentally found in the loose change in my pocket - a £2 coin commemorating the passing of the act to abolish the slave trade throughout the British Empire in 1807.
"Trade" is an important word there - shockingly, it was another 26 years before slavery itself was abolished across the Empire with the Slavery Abolition Act.

Another view of the Bald Eagle.
It has been decades since Bald Eagles nested on the Canadian shores of Lake Ontario. By the early 1980s, mostly as a result of widespread use of the pesticide DDT, there were only four active nests in all of the Great Lakes. That equals approximately 15 surviving birds. The species was all but locally extinct.
Nowadays, with the effects of DDT behind us — it was phased out beginning in the early 1970s — and with serious conservation efforts by the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Bald Eagle has made a comeback. There are now 31 active nests on the Great Lakes, and another 30 on lakes north of 49th parallel. But there was not a single successful nest on the Canadian shores until 2013. That year the first eglets were hatched at Cootes Paradise.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
Connie is actually number 9 in my 100 Strangers Project, but I definitely count her as a friend now.
I met her earlier this month when I popped into her vintage store to get some wild 70's clothes for a party Mr. Zoom and I were going to.
Connie is a POSITIVE person, always smiling. I asked her why and she said because she is doing what she's always loved. And she is GOOD at it. She likes people and fashion and all kinds of vintage things. I could have chatted with her for hours....we became fast friends.
You know that I've lost some pics, and one of them was hers. I went back the other day and got more...this time with her patient dog.
Connie, if you are reading this....THANKS!!!
(Mr. Zoom wore a ruffled tux shirt I bought from her, and I got a silver sparkly definitely-seventies-long pant-dress.A huge success!)

One of seven installations during the event Lights in Alingsås 2016 – the theme of the year is Enlightenment. It is based on the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development agreed to by 193 world leaders. This installation is inspired by the goal "5 Gender equality".
Workshop head: Sabine De Schutter, Germany: "When I was a child, everything seemed equal. I thought I could do anything and everything. I´ve realized our world isn´t equal at all! I understand why they said not to play football or to go out after dark. My voice isn´t heard equally, I don´t have the same opportunities. I am a woman.
One day I wish to see equal chances and respect for all girls and women. That we feel safe whenever and wherever we go. I wish for a better world!"
Every year in september/october leading international lighting designers come to Alingsås to hold a week´s workshop with participants from all over the world. Together they light a number of buildings and locations around the town centre. Around 80 000 people come every year to see the designs during the month-long event.
