"Since once again, Lord…I have neither bread, nor wine, nor altar, I will raise myself beyond these symbols, up to the pure majesty of the real itself; I, your priest, will make the whole world my altar and on it will offer you all the labors and sufferings of the world.
Over there, on the horizon, the sun has just touched with light the outermost fringe of the eastern sky. Once again, beneath this moving sheet of fire, the living surface of the earth wakes and, once again, begins its fearful travail. I will place on my paten, O God, the harvest to be won by this renewal of labor. Into my chalice I shall pour all the sap which is to be pressed out this day from the earth’s fruits.
My chalice and my paten are the depths of a soul laid widely open to all the forces which in a moment will rise up from every corner of the earth and converge upon the Spirit. Grant me the remembrance and the mystic presence of all those whom the light is now awakening to a new day."
- "Mass on the World" by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

It looked so pretty coming down, but now my car is plowed in, and even if I dig it out, it will be nearly impossible to find a spot when I come home, This was in a store window down the block. One photo a day. (354/366) Bayside, Queens, NYC -- December 19, 2020
ENG: What a clear blue sky on Boxing Day here today in Berlin. It is really very, very cold at around -9 ° C, but a short walk to the bakery is so good for the soul.

An 11th-hour attempt for a daily photo. Night-time leaves in the rain, still on the dogwood tree. These leaves are so beautifully ridged and textured and a beautiful range of changing colors for fall. A little blurry, but this will have to do. One photo a day. (299/366)-- October 25, 2020
Over there is an island. I have walked your shores and climbed your peaks. I have seen your wildlife, birds, orb spiders and brine flies. You are a treasure, that fills my imagination, and visits me in dreams.
From over here, I see your reflection in the Great Salt Lake. I see your snow capped mountains, and see you shrouded in clouds of white...you are mystical to me. I yearn to walk your shores...and ponder you in silence...as I have in the past. So many memories!
Your "Beauty leads to Goodness and Truth."

ENG: On view is the Lichtenberg subway station in Berlin's Lichtenberg district of the same name. Here, the U5 line drives from Hönow to the Central station. Above the station also drive the Suburban train and various regional trains.
The symmetry of the station and the play with black & white was my main focus here.

During deep twilight, the skies to my southeast lit up with several shades of red against a midnight blue. November continues to deliver beautiful fire skies over southeast Wyoming.

Fred Rogers took profound stock of his feelings to find meaning, often spiritual meaning, that he could turn into understanding, and eventually into the sort of serious focus that could yield power. It was based on a profound conviction that what’s on the surface—the everyday pain and frustration and small joys of life—is not what is essential. The essential is to be found in depth and introspection, in searching for meaning, and then finding the truth that comes from that meaning.
--The Good Neighbor, The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, by Maxwell King

The full wide of the imposing Ribblehead Viaduct, the ground was dry so easier walking over the tufts of grasses to find a vantage point without sinking in a water logged hole !!
It was built between 1870 - 1875 then restoration took place it three parts between 1988 - 1991 by British Rail with some help from other organisations.
These include English Heritage, Settle & Carlisle Railway Trust, Railway Heritage Trust, Friends of the Settle & Carlisle Line, plus twelve Councils.

ENG: The Berlin Flak Towers were a total of six large bunkers built in the Reich capital during World War II as part of the "Führer's Immediate Action Program." Their construction was ordered by Hitler after the Royal Air Force air raid on Berlin at the end of August 1940.
From October 1941 to April 1942, another flak tower was built (with the involvement of numerous forced laborers) in the Volkspark Humboldthain with an associated guidance bunker. It is about 45 meters high and 16-cornered, respectively 32-cornered above the lower command platform. These were also blown up several times after the war until May 1948 by French troops and covered with rubble. Since the railroad line of the Ringbahn passing by the hill was not allowed to be damaged, the northern part of the bunker is still visible today, however, and can be walked through as part of a tour by the Berliner Unterwelten e. V. association. The upper visible part of the two well-preserved flak towers can still be climbed today, as they are integrated into the Volkspark and of course free of charge. They then offer a wonderful view over Gesundbrunnen and Wedding - oh what am I saying - over North Berlin. Today's 11 meter high sculpture on one of the two flak towers in the Humboldthain by artist Arnold Schatz symbolize a memorial to the unity of Germany.

GER: Die Berliner Flaktürme waren insgesamt sechs große Bunker, die während des Zweiten Weltkriegs im Rahmen des „Führer-Sofortprogramms“ in der Reichshauptstadt entstanden. Der Bau wurde von Hitler nach dem Luftangriff auf Berlin der Royal Air Force Ende August 1940 angeordnet.
Von Oktober 1941 bis April 1942 wurde ein weiterer Flakturm (unter Einbeziehung zahlreicher Zwangsarbeiter) im Volkspark Humboldthain mit zugehörigem Leitbunker gebaut. Er ist rund 45 Meter hoch und 16-eckig, beziehungsweise 32-eckig oberhalb der unteren Gefechtsplattform. Diese wurden nach dem Krieg bis Mai 1948 von den französischen Truppen ebenfalls mehrfach gesprengt und mit Trümmern überdeckt. Da die am Berg vorbeiführende Bahnstrecke der Ringbahn nicht beschädigt werden durfte, ist der nördliche Teil des Bunkers aber noch heute sichtbar und im Rahmen einer Tour des Vereins Berliner Unterwelten e. V. begehbar. Der obere sichtbare Teil der zwei gut erhaltenen Flaktürme kann heute noch erklommen werden, da diese im Volkspark integriert sind und das natürlich kostenlos. Sie bieten dann einen wunderbaren Blick über den Gesundbrunnen und Wedding - ach was sag ich da - über Nord-Berlin. Die heutige 11 Meter hohe Skulptur auf einem der beiden Flaktürme im Humboldthain von Künstler Arnold Schatz symbolisieren ein Mahnmal für die Einheit Deutschlands.

Looking nearly overhead. These clouds are usually associated with thunderstorms. However, these occurred with light rain showers.
I limited color saturation in order to highlight contrast better.
The top floor of the New York Hall of Science is like a cathedral of undulating, folded concrete walls holding cobalt blue glass blocks and a soaring ceiling. There was an interactive light show going on below, but I found the actual room much more interesting. It was a long, slow exposure for my iPhone, which I held pointed up directly at the ceiling. The iPhone illuminated too much, even with the flash turned off, so I ended up adjusting and lowering the exposure to more closely match what my eyes saw, the dark and abstract shape and the light illuminating the cobalt blue glass. One photo a day. (61/366) New York Hall of Science, Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, NYC -- March 1, 2020

After a day with lots of popcorn storms, this one along the WY/CO border near sunset was quite photogenic.

Rowley Woods now looking glorious after the rain had soaked the dry ground. Beech woods new growth leaves looking excellent after all the recent rainfall. Bluebells are just finishing now on their last bit.
Stroll around the woods revealed four Muntjac deer plus a fox so quite enjoyable despite the grim weather.
Had to tone down some of the greenery from the straight shot direct from my iPhone.

This shower more through quickly and dropped only 0.02". The ragged cloud ceiling suggest mammatus formation and the rainbow was a nice touch.
