I guess you could say this is "reverse kneeling" when compared to humans !!! Seen near Lake Balboa, Van Nuys CA.
St. Stephen's Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.
I've never seen a sheep kneeling before. A strange sight in front of the huge church at Veere. She stayed like this for ages.
Kneeling Camel View is the sixth and final overlook along the North Rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. This is the view looking to the south. I'm sure you'll have no trouble figuring out why they call this Kneeling Camel View. Notice the Gunnison River at the bottom of the canyon. I'm going to move on from the North Rim of the Black Canyon for now so I can share some other gorgeous scenes with you.

"Certain thoughts are prayers.
There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees."
(Victor Hugo - French poet, novelist, and dramatist, 1802–1885)
I met this man at Shitla ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
He was wrapped in a palpable veil of deep devotion...

I had driven to Flagstaff from Phoenix on Sunday at the conclusion of our workshop.
Got up Monday at 0500 and drove up to the canyon. The evening before, during supper I had googled for various sections along the south rim and decided I'd like to try Yavapai Point. I had not been there the few times I'd been to the canyon.
I had my winter insulated boots. My winter gloves. Sweat pants under hiking pants. Sweatshirt, down vest, winter parka with hood, hat, and ear muffs. My car's outside temp gauge said it was 25ºF (-4ºC).
I was toasty, and so glad I had thought ahead. The wind was incredible. It was actually difficult to stand and walk. I was also glad I had brought my head lamp as I had gotten there about a half hour before the sky even began to get light.
I found a ledge beyond the sidewalk against which I could rest my back, sit on my gardening kneeler pad, and be a bit out of the wind. I had to keep a hand around the tripod on which my smaller Fuji X100 sat, as the wind kept trying to blow it into the canyon. I would keep my glove in my teeth when manipulating camera controls or pressing the shutter release. Thought for sure I'd lose one into the canyon. Made me wish I still had my mountaineering cord strung from glove to glove through the parka sleeves.
I had been here at about 8 years of age on a cross country vacation with the family. Then I had been here when our older boy was still a toddler. In 2014 my cousin decided we had to all go together on a "road trip" recreating one our parents had done. There was no way I was going to talk these folks into being up well before dawn just so I could be here for sunrise photos.
So I finally made it. Sunrise at the Grand Canyon.
I need to go back again...

Louisa Pesel and Canvas Embroidery
In 1931 the Bishop of Winchester Cathedral asked the embroidery expert Louisa Pesel if she would design and sew cushions for the chapel attached to his residence. Impressed by her work, the Dean of the Cathedral then asked her to take on a much bigger project: designing and making cushions and kneelers for the Choir stalls and Presbytery seats.
Louisa Pesel was born in Bradford in 1870 and early on took up embroidery – not only doing it but becoming an expert in its history, styles and techniques. She worked on the Victoria and Albert Museum collection of embroidery, wrote books and articles, and unusually for a woman at that time, worked abroad, teaching embroidery to Greek school girls. She also travelled – to Egypt, to India – again, rare for a single woman. Back in the UK, she taught traumatised World War I soldiers to sew, reasoning that making beautiful things was therapeutic.
Louisa took up the Winchester embroidery project with gusto, applying her organisational and design talents, aided by a fellow artist and designer, Sybil Blunt.
Louisa and Sybil decided to produce 56 cushions for the Choir stalls, and decorate many of them with central circular panels illustrating different parts of Winchester history. Many are of kings and queens who ruled in Winchester, or of Cathedral bishops. There is a map of Winchester from the 1930s, complete with motorcars and a steam train. Another is of St Giles Fair, which for centuries took place every year on a hill outside of town. One of my favourites is a commemoration of the diver William Walker in his gear.
As well as cushions, 300+ kneelers were made, designed with central “knots” resembling the medieval bosses on the Cathedral ceiling, placed against a blue background. While the designs were definitive, embroiderers (known as “broderers” at the time) were given some choice as to the colours and stitches used. There was scope for individuality, within certain parameters. Each kneeler also had the initials of the maker and the year made embroidered on the reverse.
The colours and designs were bold and bright, and not to everyone’s taste. However, they suit the Choir, bringing surprising colour into dark corners of the Cathedral.
Hundreds of volunteers – mainly women – worked on the project from 1931-36, either stitching or helping with the organisational side.
The project was such a success that it was copied elsewhere, notably at Wells Cathedral in the 1940s. Indeed, a “Winchester style” of embroidery grew as a result.
