Karl Barth once said that Christian doctrine is truthful only to the extent that it ‘points beyond itself and summons us to hear not itself, but [Christ].’ 17 The Christian tradition, in Williams’ view, is the extension through time of that act of self-dispossessing witness. Tradition is a theological reality. It is not meant to answer all our questions; its aim is to point beyond itself, to formalize its own unfinishedness, to hold open a space for new encounters with what Flannery O’ Connor called God’s ‘dark and disruptive’ grace. 18 Tradition keeps the church in contact with its own traumatic origins: the dark grace of an empty tomb.
---Christ the Stranger: The Theology of Rowan Williams, by Benjamin Myers, pg 48
at the extent of my zoom, thought these tufty bits of moss catching the light looked wonderful. Difficult to get a sharp image for some reason - possibly due to not having my glasses on.

After the non extent summer we have had which ended with the most devastating cyclone ever to hit the Hawke's Bay, where I live. It's a joy and a pleasure to get such a beautiful sunset. I really enjoyed some time out just waiting in the peace and quiet to see what mother nature was going to produce. Sunset at Ahuriri estuary, Napier, Hawke's Bay.

*Frühlings-Sonnenaufgang in der Wittlicher Senke*
A completely normal morning at one of my easily accessible photo locations, unfortunately now very overgrown with trees and bushes, so that such pictures are only possible to a limited extent.
Ein ganz normaler Morgen an einem meiner schnell erreichbaren Fotostandorte, leider inzwischen sehr von Bäumen und Sträuchern zugewachsen, so dass solche Bilder nur noch eingeschränkt möglich sind.
Alnmouth is a coastal village in Northumberland, England, situated 4 miles (6 km) east-south-east of Alnwick.
Located at the mouth of the River Aln, the village had a port supporting a small fishing industry and engaging in national and international trade. It was for a time a leading north-east centre for the export of grain and other foodstuffs, especially to London; and specialised in the import of timber and slate. These activities to some extent shaped the village, as granaries were constructed to store grain, and sawmills and a boatyard established to process wood and build ships.
The Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) is the nearest large galaxy to our own Milky Way and one of the most magnificent objects in the night sky. Visible as a faint small smudge from a dark site on a moonless night, M31 is a gigantic aggregation of hundreds of billions of stars at a distance of about 2.5 million light years.
Once thought to be a nebula inside our own Galaxy, its true nature was discovered by Edwin Hubble in 1925, which measured the distance of this "island universe" by studying a special class of pulsating stars known as Cepheids (his estimated distance was more than half smaller than the present value but still large enough to put it well outside the extent of our own Milky Way Galaxy).
M31 is classified as a spiral galaxy with its galactic plane inclined about 13o to our line of sight, and it is therefore seen nearly edge-on. It has a number of smaller satellite galaxies, the most prominent of which are M32 (the bright, star-like concentration above and to the left of the nucleus) and M110, the more extended bright patch below and to the right of the nucleus). Astronomers have found evidence of a massive black hole at the center of this galaxy (as is the case for our own Milky Way).
They have also calculated that we are in a collision course with our grand neighbor in space - approaching each other at a speed of about 100 Km/sec, the two galaxies will collide in about 3 billion years and maybe merge into a giant elliptical galaxy.
I can’t really know if E.T.’s home was the Andromeda Galaxy, but I can tell you that this galaxy is exceptional, either through a telescope or in deep sky photographs.
I wish you all health, happiness and clear skies!

Vineyards above lake Geneva/Leman/Genfersee east of Lausanne, Switzerland. Does anyone know the name of this tree? It's everywhere in urban France, and to a much lesser extent Spain, the branches are cut down every winter, they grow tall thin branches with fat leaves in summer.
The size and extent of a persons own library says a lot about them. My bookshelves are full with extra books being added only occasionally, and when I weaken, from book sale trolleys in my libraries.
Some of what my personal library says about me is that I'm from New Zealand as these items show.

What matters is not the extent of the acquired knowledge, but that one recognizes values: the truth, the good, the beautiful. Learning must be directed to this goal. Learning should be an act that is valuable in and of itself. It should be an interaction with the object, interested in experiencing its form, its content, and its meaning. In the face of the assertion: “Knowledge is power,” Judaism must proclaim, “Knowledge is love.”

The Marina City complex was designed in 1959 by architect Bertrand Goldberg and constructed between 1961 and 1968 at a cost of $36 million, financed to a large extent by Building Service Employees International Union, a union of building janitors and elevator operators, who sought to reverse the pattern of white flight from the city's downtown area. When finished, the two towers were both the tallest residential buildings and the tallest reinforced concrete structures in the world. The complex was built as a "city within a city", featuring numerous on-site facilities including a theater, gym, swimming pool, ice rink, bowling alley, stores, restaurants, and its namesake marina.
Lifer! I used to see these high in the forest canopy during my BC years, but there was never a photo op... until last month, here on the Saskatchewan prairie. We are at the easternmost extent of this species' migratory range, and one showed up at a friend's feeder. I received an early morning phone call, rushed over, and was able to shoot through an open window.
Lifers - by which I mean photo-lifers - are hard to come by these days. I've photographed most species that breed here or pass through in migration. Most days I'm out there trying to improve on earlier shots or capture some interesting behaviour. Once in a while, though, I get lucky; this is my second lifer of Spring 2024. Will there be a third? I am optimistic. And that comment leads to one of my favourite quotes:
"The reason for optimism lies in the biological fact that it keeps you happy and busy, whereas pessimism just leads to lying around and bitching."
- Robert Anton Wilson
I tried the latter many years ago and it didn't work, so I'll just stick with the former and ride it until my ride ends.

For Macro Monday - Contraption
Tatting produces a very delicate fine lace when you know how to do it!! I remember as a young girl seeing "Grannies" on the train working away on a little shuttle like this and a beautiful lace a little like crocheting was the result.
I always wanted to learn how to do this....maybe now's the time!
The extent of these reeds and grasses in the Tamar Wetlands is considerable. Here they stand about 2 metres high and stretch as far as the eye can see. I am shooting from an elevated position. On the horizon you'll see a bit of the city of Launceston and the mountains beyond that.
Photo Note: I would normally straighten the lens distortion at the edges of a photograph. But in this case it creates a truer expression of the expanse of reeds to leave it as it is.

Little Moreton Hall, also known as Old Moreton Hall, is a moated half-timbered manor house in Cheshire, England.[The earliest parts of the house were built for the prosperous Cheshire landowner William Moreton in about 1504–08, and the remainder was constructed in stages by successive generations of the family until about 1610. The building is highly irregular, with three asymmetrical ranges forming a small, rectangular cobbled courtyard. A National Trust guidebook describes Little Moreton Hall as being "lifted straight from a fairy story, a gingerbread house".] The house's top-heavy appearance, "like a stranded Noah's Ark", is due to the Long Gallery that runs the length of the south range's upper floor.
The house remained in the possession of the Moreton family for almost 450 years, until ownership was transferred to the National Trust in 1938. Little Moreton Hall and its sandstone bridge across the moat are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and the ground on which Little Moreton Hall stands is protected as a Scheduled Monument.] The house has been fully restored and is open to the public .
At its greatest extent, in the mid-16th century, the Little Moreton Hall estate occupied an area of 1,360 acres (550 ha) and contained a cornmill, orchards, gardens, and an iron bloomery with water-powered hammers. The gardens lay abandoned until their 20th-century re-creation. As there were no surviving records of the layout of the original knot garden it was replanted according to a pattern published in the 17th century.

The genus Leptophobia comprises of 20 currently known species. Three of these have only recently been discovered ( 2000-2003 ) and are as yet unnamed.
Most Leptophobia species are white or cream coloured on the upperside, with dark brown or black margins, but these vary in extent from species to species.
All Leptophobia are high altitude species, and are variously distributed from Costa Rica to Bolivia and Argentina.
Leptophobia aripa is native to Mexico, Central America and South America, but strays may be found as far north as southern Texas.(Wikipedia)

Having uploaded a shot of 76031 (previously 76044) and 76032 heading towards Wath a couple of images ago, this is a shot of the same pair later in the day, seen here departing Wombwell Main Exchange Sidings with a loaded MGR train to Fiddlers Ferry PS.
I'm stood at the very foot of the Worsborough Incline, a gruelling seven mile rise, three miles of which are at a nominal gradient of 1 in 40. In fact legend has it that some sections were much steeper as a result of coal mining subsidence in the area. I took this from a public foot-crossing about one hundred yards from the Exchange Sidings.
Above the locomotives can be seen Swaithe Viaduct carrying the Sheffield to Leeds line. Wombwell station, my point of arrival earlier in the day, lies a mile or so down the line to the left.
In the distance you can just about make out the home and distant signals. With both currently 'on', these control progress over Lewden Crossing and, to a lesser extent, the crossing beyond.
Given the full train-load of coal, the two locomotives on the front will be supported by a pair of bankers, also class 76s. These will drop off at the top of the incline and return back down here to await their next turn of duty.
Having 'discovered' this area the previous week, I was lucky enough to be able to get time off work and make a swift return with the trusty OS Map for a bit more exploring. This trip saw me start the day at Mitchells Main, walk on towards Wombwell Main Exchange Sidings and this foot-crossing, before following another footpath and ending up at Lewden Crossing. These weren't particularly long days seeing as the train back from Wombwell station left sometime around 4pm - you could never leave it too late because trains from Sheffield back south to Nottingham were quite thin on the ground after 6pm as I recall. Despite the shortish day it still proved a decent enough circular walk carrying a couple of cameras plus lenses - happy days when the stamina was a bit better!
As mentioned before, this freight line has long since disappeared and the route is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
An image uploaded for curiosity value, and in portrait format too so it might look better on a tablet or smartphone! Commenting off, thanks.

The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity
The village of Raithby is situtated in the southern Lincolnshire Wolds a few miles west of the town of Spilsby, in the district of East Lindsey and the ancient wapentake of Bolingbroke Soke.
The parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and dates back to the 12th century, the church was partially rebuilt in 1873 by Sir George Gilbert Scott and the chancel was enlarged in 1884 by Temple Moore. Close to the church is Raithby Hall, built in 1760 of red brick with further extentions in 1873, again by Sir George Gilbert Scott.
The Admiraly Extention covers the northern side of Horse Guards Parade and was built in the late 19th century.
It is a red brick building with white stone, detailing in the Queen Anne style with French influences.

Thanks to the staff of the Botanic Gardens for maintaining it so well.
Part of the area classified by UNESCO as World Heritage in December 1996, the Monastery of Serra do Pilar is the architectural landmark of Gaia. The interesting church and cloisters are laid out according to a circular design unique in Portugal.
The convent built in the 16th century belonged to the Order of Saint Augustine. The church is characterised by a circular shape, a replica of the Church of Santa Maria Redonda in Rome, and is covered by a hemispheric vault with a narrow balcony running its full extent. It took 72 year to complete due to the lack of funding and the political turmoil of those times – with the kingdom of Portugal having fallen to neighbouring Spain. One legacy of that event was the adoption of a Spanish saint for the monastery, Our Lady of Pilar.
In 1832, during the Siege of Oporto, its military value was made use of with the convent swiftly turned into an improvised fort. At the beginning of the 20th century, the monastery was used for military barracks and remains under the tutelage of the Serra do Pilar Artillery Regiment.
Within, the Church features some impressive carved gold leaf altars with Solomonic columns. There are also 18th century, polychrome wooden carvings of the saints Eulalia, Apollonia and Augustine.
In front of the church, there is a wonderful view point taking in the full splendour of the city of Oporto and the river Douro below.

"The Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in France, 48 acres in extent, is sited on a plateau 100 feet above the Moselle River in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. It contains the graves of 5,254 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the campaigns across northeastern France to the Rhine River and beyond into Germany. The cemetery was established in October 1944 by the 46th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company of the U.S. Seventh Army as it drove northward from southern France through the Rhone Valley into Germany. The cemetery became the repository for the fatalities in the bitter fighting through the Saverne Gap, and in defense of Allied positions in the Vosges region, during the winter of 1944-1945."

These woodpeckers feed, to a great extent, on sap and cambium (inner bark) which they obtain by drilling holes in the trunks of trees. These peculiar holes indicate the presence of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the area.
