St. Asaph Cathedral
St Asaph Cathedral (Welsh: Eglwys Gadeiriol Llanelwy) is a cathedral in St Asaph, Denbighshire, north Wales. An Anglican church, it is the episcopal seat of the Bishop of St Asaph. The cathedral dates back 1,400 years, while the current building dates from the 13th century. It is sometimes claimed to be the smallest Anglican cathedral in Great Britain.
A church was originally built on or near the site by Saint Kentigern in the 6th century (other sources say Saint Elwy in 560). Saint Asa (or Asaph), a grandson of Pabo Post Prydain, followed after this date.
The earliest parts of the present building date from the 13th century when a new building was begun on the site after the original stone cathedral was burnt by King Edward I in 1282.
The rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr resulted in part of the cathedral being reduced to a ruin for seventy years. The present building was largely built in the reign of Henry Tudor and greatly restored in the 19th century.

Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral and the mother church of the Diocese of Chester. It is located in the city of Chester, Cheshire, England. The cathedral, formerly the abbey church of a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Werburgh, is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since 1541, it has been the seat of the bishop of Chester.
The cathedral and former monastic buildings were extensively restored during the 19th century (amidst some controversy), and a free standing bell tower was added in the 20th century. In addition to holding services for Christian worship, the buildings are a major tourist attraction in Chester and the cathedral is used as a venue for concerts and exhibitions.
The WATER OF LIFE Sculpture.
The piece was designed for the Cloister Garden of Chester Cathedral in association with the 900th Anniversary celebrations of the foundation of the Benedictine Abbey of St Werburgh, on this site in 1092.
The water feature depicts the encounter between Jesus and the Woman of Samaria, showing their shared bowl overflowing with water. The theme of water also suggests a link to how the Benedictine monks water supply was at the centre of the cloister garden.

The site of St. Tudno church grounds.
Coordinates 53.3371° N, 3.8519° W
Saint Tudno (pronounced Tidno) is the patron saint of Llandudno (whose name is derived from his), and founder of the original parish church, located on the Great Orme peninsula.
Saint Tudno is said to have been one of the seven sons of King Seithenyn, whose legendary kingdom Cantref y Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay was submerged by tidal activity. According to the theory, Tudno studied at St. Dunawd's college in the monastery of Bangor Iscoed, in order to make recompense for the drunken incompetence of his father, which had led to the loss of the kingdom under the waves.
Seeking a place to live out the religious life, Tudno went to the great ancient limestone outcrop of the Great Orme (Cyngreawdr), jutting from the Creuddyn Peninsula, to bring the message of Christianity to its people. He lived initially as a hermit in a small coastal cave with difficult access known as Ogof Llech, which provided protection from the elements, and a source of fresh water from a spring well Fynnon Llech. From this base he constructed a church. Nothing remains of this 6th century church building, although the present 12th century church, dedicated to St Tudno, stands on the same site, and has a continuous history.

St Mary's Church, Dudleston, Ellesmere, Shropshire SY12 9EF
St Mary's Church Coordinates.. 52°56'21.4"N 2°58'28.3"W
Ellesmere SY12 9EF
St Mary's Church Dudleston has a small friendly congregation who are very proud of their church building. The foundation dates back to Saxon times or even before, but the present stone building dates from the twelfth century with major extensions during the nineteenth century. We have a Bevington organ, recently restored, and use it to play mainly traditional hymns.
Ellesmere,
is a town in Shropshire, England, located near the Welsh border and the towns of Oswestry and Whitchurch, and the Welsh city of Wrexham. It is notable for its proximity to a number of prominent Meres.
The town is located by the side of Ellesmere (aka 'the Mere'), one of the largest natural meres in England outside the Lake District and one of nine glacial meres in the area. ('glacial' means that the depression occupied by the mere was the location of a block of ice that persisted at the end of the last ice age). These meres are different from those in the Lake District in that they do not have a flow of water into them to maintain the level.

I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE ON THIS PHOTO;
FROM PADMACARA, ADMIN OF 60+SENIORS SHOOTING GROUP [opt out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
" Would you please not re submit this blurred landscape to the 60+ etc etc again. you got it in 178 other groups but your not going to get it in to ours!
If you do resubmit it I will remove you from the group "
PADMA.
This individual admits that he is no photographer yet he sees himself somehow qualified to judge others as an administrator.He should be blocked! His group has 597 members. My photo has more views and actually more Faves than the majority of photos in his pathetic little group!
I would advise that you avoid this "person" and his group.
Just as well hes in Austrailia! By the way" its" name "Padma" is a rascist slur on Irish people! Id love to see him use it here in Ireland!
Within 5 minutes of this I received another message from another administrator who moaned at me about people who put photos in wrong sections of groups. I have not got a clue what they are talking about.
I then received another unsolicited message from another opt out group founder member who proceed to instruct me on how to take a landscape photo! His ones are manafactured on a computer, by the way!
I have responded to these 3 abonoxious, grossly ignorant fools and so far there has been no response.
I wish to thank the 5369 people who looked at this photo,
The 327 who have Faved it, and the 42 people who commented

The Holy Ground
" I was born on the holy ground,
A running boy in fields of clover,
Living in the grandeur of,
My fathers land ".
" For I could not stay where the city streets,
Prounced so loudly mans endeavour,
Though music is a pretty thing,
In fine company "
" By the side of a swirling sea
I spend my days in childhood wonder
I held the rocks in my young hands,
I never felt them slip away "

Ive had this selection of photos on my computer for a year and a half and Ive only put them up here lately. I do like them but being "green" I thought there was too much brown in them. Ive been proved wrong though as apparently brown is ok too!! I should thank Van "the man" Morrison really!
It takes me about 20 minutes to drive to a parking spot on the Roundwood road, at Glasnamullan wood where I start this walk up White Hill [620m] on the Wicklow Way. There is a holy well close by where I park, but it was sealed years ago because of health and safety. megalithomania.net/show/site/51/Glassnamullen.htm Its a pity as the old stile and stone steps leading to it by the small river. Its a very pretty place to sit and its below the road so its very quiet. Ive found the position of the well and Id love to open it and have a look. Of course, these wells would probably be pagan in origin and would have been places of pigrimage for the ancient Celts untill the Christian Church wiped out all traces of our culture, or tried to! There are always cures associated with these places and all sorts of aiments could be cured such as warts and rhumatism or notions about being a good photographer!!! Some were dedicated to the godess " Sheela Na Gig " who was an ancient fertility godess and women used to use the water in the hope of becoming pregnant. There is a Sheelas well in Delgany but its now also sealed.
Heres a link; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheela_na_gig
I always walk up through the wood as an approach to White Hill. Its full of red deer and Ive seen red squirrels there as well but they are very shy creatures.I heard my first greater spotted woodpecker in Ireland there about two years ago.
Eventually it comes to a fence which I climb and it brings me out of the wood which you can see in the photo. Its pretty boggy but once I get across the small stream, its easy to follow the deers trails which criss cross the place and can be seen as green tracks in the pic. I do a circular route that takes about 2 hours. The photo is taken looking east, at the start of the climb, towards the Sugarloaf and the Irish sea. However there is a lot more to it as when I took this I was living in Greystones beside the sea. I have now moved 6 miles s/w and further inland. The large hill on the extreme right, is Mount Kennedy and Im now living just below it to the left, in Newtownmountkennedy. Small place with a big heart and a huge name!
If you zoom in on the left hand side you can see the Scots ridge way pines which were used by the RAF and Luftwaffe during the war as direction and location reference points as they can be seen 30 miles out to sea off the coast of Wales, UK. They are heros and my favourites!! See my Scots Pines album [They Also Serve] for the story.
Sat, 17th March is St. Patricks Day and Im planning a bit of a celebration. Im going to Dublin to the parade which is truly something. Lots of people come here for it. The majority would be German followed by English,American, Asian and Australian. Its a great party and everbodys Irish for the day, and I love that!! Anyway I lived in England for 20 years,An uncle was in the NY fire brigade, another one married Gretel who was a German lady and Sean O Brien, an ancestor was sent to Austtralia in 1846 for sheep stealing. There were rumours though and I have my own theory!!! Lol!!! Behave!!!
So I hope you like the photo and if you want too know anything about the place Id love to tell you.
And here is a link to where I lived, am now and the mountains.

during the period 1943-45 famed american photographer ansel adams made many images of life at the manzanar war relocation camp where thousands of japanese-american citizens were interned during WW2. located at foot of the eastern sierra mountains, manzanar provided ansel with the location for one of his most iconic landscape photographs "Mount Williamson, Sierra Nevada from Manzanar".
after some research, i finally found the spot where ansel took his famous photograph. it was very cool to be able to stand in his bootprints facing the majestic eastern sierras.

on a recent desert road trip, i finally located the spot near manzanar from which ansel took his image. my visit was more of a scouting trip for the future, figuring out which 4WD road was the right one, etc. additionally, the light was wrong when i took this photo, but many possibilities for future night/snow photographs exist. it was very cool to be able to stand in his bootprints facing the majestic eastern sierras. good stuff.

Autumn colours are magnificent this time of year in Gudbrandsdalen, the biggest valley in Norway. Near the village of Hundorp, this burial mound is, according to tradition, the burial site of the viking chieftain Gudbrand - whom the valley is named after. He is mentioned in the sagas as one of the last chieftains that converted to Christianity by Olav the Saint.
The site has been used for ritual purpouses much longer though, there are remnants of standing stones that are believed to have been part of a bronze age fertility cult worship.
The bauta is not old, however - it was ereced around 1900 sometime as a memorial of Olav Haraldson.
The Shiva Vishnu Temple of South Florida is a non-profit religious organization with a mission of operating a traditional Hindu temple based on Vaasthu and Agama Shaastra and imparting religious, educational, and cultural values to our community and future generations. In 1996 we embarked upon building a traditional Dravidian (South Indian) style temple under the guidance of chief architect, Dr. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, India, a well-known temple builder of international repute. The construction began in April 1999. Twelve shilpis (sculptors) came from Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu, India in April 2000 and carried out the Indianization of the temple.
The main temple building has two Raja Gopurams (entrance towers) and two Vimana Gopurams (Towers) over each of the main Shiva and Vishnu Garbagrahas (Shrines). The total area of the temple is approximately 6200 sq ft. The temple ornaments and architectural style are of Chola, and Pandya dynasty (10th century) for Shiva and Parivar (associated) shrines, and Vijayanagara dynasty (12th century) for Venkateshwara and Parivar shrines. The Ayyappa shrine is built according to the Kerala style of architecture. The second building is the community hall which opened in April of 2001. It houses educational and cultural activities and is occasionally rented for private ceremonies to Temple members and devotees.
Mahakumbhabhishekam (sacred purification) and Pranaprathishtapana (consecration) of our temple were celebrated from November 23 to 25 of 2001 and the temple has been open to the public since then. We have four well-trained priests from India who perform daily puja services. The temple’s religious rituals strictly follow the Agama Shastras: Shiva agama for Shiva and Parivar devathas, Pancharathra agama for Vishnu and parivara devathas.
The temple organizes a number of religious services and celebrates major Hindu festivals throughout the year, which are open to the general public. Devotees have the pportunity to sponsor any of these religious services. The temple priests can also conduct specific religious services on behalf of devotees either at the temple or in their homes.
The construction of the temple was made possible with generous contributions from the members of our community. The temple is operated by revenues generated from services and donations. Your generous donation is always welcome
and is tax-deductible.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary is the seat of the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. The cathedral is named for Mary, mother of Jesus, and is located at 7525 N.W. 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida. Archbishop Thomas Gerard Wenski is the Archbishop of Miami. Fr. Marino serves as the Cathedral's Rector.
In August 1929, under the title of The Little River Mission Club, fourteen men and women met in a store on Northeast 79th Street near 2nd Avenue to form a new parish. Bishop Patrick Barry of the St. Augustine Diocese (1922–1940) stated they would need one hundred Catholic families for a new parish. Three lots were purchased on the northwest corner of Northwest 2nd Avenue and Northwest 75th Street. In April 1930, ground was broken for a church. The first mass was celebrated in a wooden structure on July 20, 1930. Father William Wilkinson, S.J., of Gesu Church was the celebrant and Monsignor William Barry, P.A., pastor of St. Patrick's Church on Miami Beach, preached the homily.
In October 1930, Father Patrick Joseph Roche of County Limerick, Ireland was appointed the first pastor of St. Mary's Parish. The parish area was from 36th Street North to the Broward line and from Biscayne Bay west to the Dade County line. In 1931, a rectory was constructed on the north side of the church. A parish hall was constructed in 1935 on the north side of the rectory.
One week before Christmas in 1936, the church was moved to a property that had been purchased on the east side of Northwest 2nd Ave. and 75th Street. The wooden church was then remodeled and enlarged by moving the sanctuary back and adding two wings. Capacity after the remodeling was 600 persons. The first ceremony in the renovated church was the Sacrament of Confirmation by Bishop Barry in February 1937.
In 1953, Father Roche retired and Father Patrick J. Donoghue was appointed pastor. The groundbreaking ceremonies for a new church were held in 1955. Cardinal Edward Mooney of Detroit, Michigan, dedicated the new church building on January 27, 1957. The church dome was seven stories above the altar. A southwest corner tower was twelve stories tall. The two mahogany doors at the entrance were 30 feet (9.1 m) high. The ceiling over the altar was 76 feet (23 m) high. The nave was 140 feet (43 m) long, 82 feet (25 m) wide, and five stories high with a 7 feet (2.1 m) foot main aisle and two 5-foot (1.5 m) side aisle altars.
On August 13, 1958, sixteen counties of Southern Florida were detracted from the Diocese of St. Augustine to form the new Diocese of Miami. St. Mary's Church was announced by the Vatican as the new Cathedral. On October 7, 1958, Auxiliary Bishop Coleman F. Carroll of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was installed as the first bishop of Miami. Shortly thereafter, renovations for the cathedral began including the addition of a bronze bell weighing more than two tons, and the installation of the Cathedral's first pipe organ.
In 1966, Monsignor David Bushey, the newly appointed rector, completed work on a new rectory with new offices and living quarters. A new parish hall was built in 1967. On June 13. 1968, Bishop Coleman Carroll became the first Archbishop of Miami and Metropolitan of the newly created province.
Final funeral services for Jackie Gleason were held at St. Mary's Cathedral in 1987.

The Shiva Vishnu Temple of South Florida is a non-profit religious organization with a mission of operating a traditional Hindu temple based on Vaasthu and Agama Shaastra and imparting religious, educational, and cultural values to our community and future generations. In 1996 we embarked upon building a traditional Dravidian (South Indian) style temple under the guidance of chief architect, Dr. Ganapati Sthapati of Chennai, India, a well-known temple builder of international repute. The construction began in April 1999. Twelve shilpis (sculptors) came from Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu, India in April 2000 and carried out the Indianization of the temple.
The main temple building has two Raja Gopurams (entrance towers) and two Vimana Gopurams (Towers) over each of the main Shiva and Vishnu Garbagrahas (Shrines). The total area of the temple is approximately 6200 sq ft. The temple ornaments and architectural style are of Chola, and Pandya dynasty (10th century) for Shiva and Parivar (associated) shrines, and Vijayanagara dynasty (12th century) for Venkateshwara and Parivar shrines.

I was waiting for the sun
To shake the cold from my frozen heart
Hmm, yes, I was waiting for the
sun
Well, I heard your promise
Some things are better left undone
Yes, I knew you were trouble
But I've been staring way too long.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary is the seat of the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. The cathedral is named for Mary, mother of Jesus, and is located at 7525 N.W. 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida. Archbishop Thomas Gerard Wenski is the Archbishop of Miami. Fr. Marino serves as the Cathedral's Rector.
In August 1929, under the title of The Little River Mission Club, fourteen men and women met in a store on Northeast 79th Street near 2nd Avenue to form a new parish. Bishop Patrick Barry of the St. Augustine Diocese (1922–1940) stated they would need one hundred Catholic families for a new parish. Three lots were purchased on the northwest corner of Northwest 2nd Avenue and Northwest 75th Street. In April 1930, ground was broken for a church. The first mass was celebrated in a wooden structure on July 20, 1930. Father William Wilkinson, S.J., of Gesu Church was the celebrant and Monsignor William Barry, P.A., pastor of St. Patrick's Church on Miami Beach, preached the homily.
In October 1930, Father Patrick Joseph Roche of County Limerick, Ireland was appointed the first pastor of St. Mary's Parish. The parish area was from 36th Street North to the Broward line and from Biscayne Bay west to the Dade County line. In 1931, a rectory was constructed on the north side of the church. A parish hall was constructed in 1935 on the north side of the rectory.
One week before Christmas in 1936, the church was moved to a property that had been purchased on the east side of Northwest 2nd Ave. and 75th Street. The wooden church was then remodeled and enlarged by moving the sanctuary back and adding two wings. Capacity after the remodeling was 600 persons. The first ceremony in the renovated church was the Sacrament of Confirmation by Bishop Barry in February 1937.
In 1953, Father Roche retired and Father Patrick J. Donoghue was appointed pastor. The groundbreaking ceremonies for a new church were held in 1955. Cardinal Edward Mooney of Detroit, Michigan, dedicated the new church building on January 27, 1957. The church dome was seven stories above the altar. A southwest corner tower was twelve stories tall. The two mahogany doors at the entrance were 30 feet (9.1 m) high. The ceiling over the altar was 76 feet (23 m) high. The nave was 140 feet (43 m) long, 82 feet (25 m) wide, and five stories high with a 7 feet (2.1 m) foot main aisle and two 5-foot (1.5 m) side aisle altars.
On August 13, 1958, sixteen counties of Southern Florida were detracted from the Diocese of St. Augustine to form the new Diocese of Miami. St. Mary's Church was announced by the Vatican as the new Cathedral. On October 7, 1958, Auxiliary Bishop Coleman F. Carroll of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was installed as the first bishop of Miami. Shortly thereafter, renovations for the cathedral began including the addition of a bronze bell weighing more than two tons, and the installation of the Cathedral's first pipe organ.
In 1966, Monsignor David Bushey, the newly appointed rector, completed work on a new rectory with new offices and living quarters. A new parish hall was built in 1967. On June 13. 1968, Bishop Coleman Carroll became the first Archbishop of Miami and Metropolitan of the newly created province.
Final funeral services for Jackie Gleason were held at St. Mary's Cathedral in 1987.
