"O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous,
who seest the heart and the mind,
let me see thy vengeance upon them,
for to thee have I committed my cause."
- Jeremiah 20:12, which is part of today's first reading at Mass.
Detail from the west window of Fairford parish church which shows Christ as judge, who dispenses peace and justice, and who is surrounded by a host of angels and saints, and flanked by Our Lady and St John the Baptist. The window was installed c.1500-15 under the direction of Barnard Flower, glazier to Henry VII, but the west window was much damaged in a storm in 1703. Between 1861-62, the window was 'restored' by replacing the entire upper half of the great west window, dedicated to the Last Judgement, with a new if faithful version based on what had survived the 1703 storm.
I thought this truck promoting a Kabukicho host club (Fuyutsuki Group?) may have gotten a little off course when I spotted it in Harajuku recently.

The church of St John the Baptist at Wolverley has medieval origins but what we see today is the result of a complete rebuilding in 1772. The architect is unknown, but the building makes a powerful statement in brick, with deeply recessed arches adding a touch of shadowy drama to the round-headed nave and tower windows, as if part of a viaduct had been glazed-in to form the church. The rather later timber-framed porch doesn't sit quite as well in this setting.
The interior is light and spacious, plastered throughout and still retaining its galleries in the nave. The effect is still very late Georgian aside from the Victorian screen and stained glass in the chancel. There are a couple of reminders of the previous church, the late medieval font and a 14th century knight's effigy, both in the south aisle.
Wolverley church is an impressive building and happily one that welcomes visitors, being normally kept open during the day.

Hi everyone. I was going to post a shot of the Oxbow with the morning light on the tall aspen trees and reflections in the still water but you've all seen that, right? The colors are so intense I was half thinking they needed to be desaturated. Maybe tomorrow if I can get back on. This grouse greeted me at the campsite when I pulled into the Tetons and was nice enough to pose in the tree as the last of the day's light was fading away. Someone told me what type of grouse it is but I forget - sage, I think.
A magical day of shooting, amidst still trying to resolve trailer difficulties. For the past two weeks we had been trying to resolve power issues for dry camping - a lot of work and no small expense. So, we thought that they were pretty well resolved and that I should be set. Wrong, up in Yellowstone, while I was freezing, the battery went dead. Well that is what backup battery lanterns and headlamps are for, right? Well, one of the important reasons for needing power, besides the water pump, was to be able to edit photos on an external monitor because I wouldn't be able to do it otherwise. And so, I had not been able to work on any photos, except the bull elk but there was no real editing there, and have been falling further and further behind. More stress. I have fallen way behind on a number of items while trying to get the trailer running. Well, today I went into Jackson and spent $140 for a new battery. Turns out that the "new" battery was quite old and not even the right type. If anyone runs across that Ron Spears guy out there in El Dorado, CA and is tempted to buy something from him, don't. Get this, I had not used the bathroom portion of the trailer but when I went to learn how to empty the tanks yesterday I pulled the lever and it turns out that the thing was full! Now, wouldn't you expect someone to empty his crap out of the toilet before selling the trailer? It gets worse. He went over to my brother's house while we were gone (I was out buying a 30 - 110 adapter to fit the power cords) and he took the 30 cord, put water in the tank and left the shower on. So, when I got home and went to put the adapter on the cord, it didn't need one any longer. I plugged the 110 into Dan's extension cord and the shower started running all over everything. We felt so violated that this guy did this. Supposedly he remodeled the trailer and stuff but most of it is falling apart and so I am having to redo his fixes. Good thing that I thought to bring tools. Wish I had brought my hat and gloves though, it is cold.
And so now you get a little idea of the craziness that I have been dealing with. Bright spot though. I was able to hook up the monitor and edit some shots tonight. That felt good. I only worked on a few because I didn't want to run down the battery too much - it is a start. Things are slowly getting worked out, even while on the road. Now I just need to figure out cooking but that might be awhile because the rest has drained the funds. Maybe I should sell some photos!
At the moment I am in front of the Signal Mountain Lodge - it has the best hot spot in the park - and it is past my bed time, considering I am up at around 4:30 or 5 every morning. Thanks for taking a look. Progress, not perfection. Oh, and by the way, the Tetons are spectacular and there is a cute black bear that is hanging around quite a lot. More fun tomorrow.
A Tudor Revival building hosts the London department store, Liberty.
Liberty is a department store on Regent Street, based in the West End shopping district of Central London. The shop opened during 1875 selling ornaments, fabric and objets d'art from Japan and the East.
