St. John’s Point forms a narrow, roughly 11 km-long peninsula that juts prominently into the Bay of Donegal, about 19 km southwest of Killybegs. From the higher-lying country road by Dunkineely, a sweeping panorama unfolds of rolling grasslands, jagged rock formations and the impressive outcrops of the Slieve League cliffs.
St.John's Church is the oldest functioning house of worship in Riga. Originally the Dominican monastery's chapel was located here in the 13th century. The monastery and church were closed during the Reformation in 1523. The building was used for a time as the city's armoury, until it was taken over by a Lutheran congregation in 1582. During the building's construction, two monks were bricked into the southern wall and lived out their lives there, fed through the window grate.
A long overdue trip to the farm was most unsettling as my father-in-law has been overtaken by the cruelest of diseases. Alzheimer's has stolen his ability to recall even the most basic things in his remarkable life. He is beyond the point when he is able to simply recognize those he has known and loved. A person who had the storytellers gift just a few years ago is now unable to share his precious life events.
This was a shocking encounter to say the least. Two revelations for me took hold during our short visit. First was the obvious in that this disease was winning in it's attack on John's mental functions and it is maddening. The second is I just did not know just how strong my Mother-in-law is. Her love for him has always been obvious but her conviction and care for him through this period is most humbling.
She has grown where he has diminished and endures despite the confusion that is now his reality. Her faith in God is where she draws strength and it is obviously needed daily.
There are several Diseases that need to be conquered and dementia and Alzheimer's have to be towards the top of this list.
St. John's Co-Cathedral was commissioned in 1572 by Jean de la Cassière, Grand Master of the Order of St. John. The church was designed by the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar, who was also responsible for the construction of many important buildings in Valletta.
Not until 1977 did the building's function as a hospital stop, at which time it was moved to a newer modern hospital in Brugge Sint-Pieters. The city of Bruges took over the buildings. Today part of the hospital complex holds the popular Hans Memling museum, named for the German-born Early Netherlandish painter, where a number of works, such as triptychs are displayed, as well as hospital records, medical instruments and other works of art.
St. John's Church is a Protestantchurch in St. Petersburg, Russia. The church is situated at the address 54 ulitsa Dekabristov, close to the Mariinsky Theater. Founded in 1859 to serve the Estonian community living in the city at that time, it is considered Estonia's symbol of independence. It was the place where in 1888Jakob Hurt made the call to resist the Tsarist government’srussification policy and on March 26, 1917, 40,000 Estonians began their march to Tauride Palacedemanding national autonomy.
I had a conversation with a Flickr friend about this location. Access to this part of Moreton Bay is by quite a steep road and the carpark is rather small. When I went there early this morning, the carpark was already full and I had to park up near the park in Swan Street.
I walked down the hill to this spot and saw the seat that is now going to be called "John's Seat". When I arrived, there was no-one sitting on it (it was still quite dark). But on leaving, this gentleman had taken some time to contemplate the morning and complete my image.
It's been a while since I've posted a landscape photo. I was playing around with Lightroom Classic this evening and produced this version of an old image of St. John's Lighthouse taken back in Jan 2017. I think it's always good to try something different - monochrome with a dash of colour.... What do you think? Does it work?

Something (nearly) in my own back yard. I went over to St. Augustine today to my printer's and on the way crossed the wide St. John's River, pictured here, traveling light for a change with one lens and one body.
Portrait shot of the village of Alnmouth that I took from Church Hill last summer, hence the cross in the foreground. I called the photograph John's place in memory of my partner's brother. He was a canny lad. John loved to visit the village of Alnmouth. I thought it was only fitting that I name this shot after him, as every time I visit, I think of him.
We are back in Ross in the Midlands of Tasmania today. This historic town has strong Scottish roots, that go back to when Gov. Lachlan Macquarie named it in 1811.
In 1835 the St John's Church of England was built, but it was built on less than secure foundations and eventually had to be demolished. Tomorrow we'll have a look at its beautiful replacement building dating from 1868.
By 1847 the St John's Church decided to to build a school house for the growing number of children in the area. This is the result. Unfortunately the building problems that struck the original church were also here too. Eventually the stones had to come down, foundations replaced, and a complete rebuild in 1902 by Richards Brothers Builders.
Day 21/366: The Chapel in the moonlight was a lovely sight this evening. Sadly it's not a great shot but Enlight processing lifts it a bit at least.

St John's Church was closed in 2010 and declared redundant. After renovation, the building was reopened in 2016 as a community centre and events venue, and is also used by the nearby St John primary school. A registered charity operates the building under the name St John's Place.
The church opened in 1861 and was designed by T.H. Wyatt in 13th century style, using local limestone and greensand stones. It was to serve as the parish church as St Andrew's, 250 metres away, was too small. Finance came from Robert Herbert, 12th Earl of Pembroke and from American admirers of George Herbert.
There is one large bell cast by Mears in 1860. The stained glass is from various 19th-century dates, including an early window by Kempe, 1878. Pevsner writes that the interior has "a multitude of well carved naturalistic foliage capitals". Restoration in 1896 by C.E. Ponting included the installation of a fine oak reredos. The building was recorded as Grade II* listed in 1952
One of two churches on Guilford's Meeting House Hill, St. John's was built in 1754. See www.stjohnsguilford.org/history-louise for info about this church.

A couple of photos of the iconic Jellybean Row in St. John's, NL. The rainbow rowhouses of St. John’s are not confined to one area; they spill down to the harbour along several tightly packed streets in the downtown core. I believe there is a city ordinance stating that adjacent homes can not have the same colour scheme.
