I'd like you to know there is little planning in my churchcrawling, I see there are one or two churches I had yet to visit, set the sat nav and set off, never sure if the church is open or redundant.
St Mary and the Holy Cross is situated on a crossroads, I couldn't miss it, so parked up, got the cameras out and a lady in the car behind got out:
"can I help you?"
I have come to visit the church.
"what for?"
I explained the Kent Church Project, gave her a moo card, and she was happy enough.
She had come to clean and had a key for the door.
Which is handy.
Hard to get a good exterior shot due to trees on the south side and the bright sunlight, low at this time of year. I tried.
When you first enter, you see how tall and narrow, and long, the chancel is, compared to to the nave. Quite startling, and yet to the warden, it was normal.
Ahead of me was another fine chancel and altar, though not as fine as Ospringe, it goes without saying....
-------------------------------------------
A most satisfying church in a delightful setting. Originally Norman with plenty of stonework surviving, it was extended in the thirteenth century by the lengthening of the chancel and by the addition of north and south chapels that only run half the length of the chancel. A fifteenth century tower completes the ensemble. There followed years of decline and the chapels became ruinous until two restorations in the nineteenth century. The first was carried out by a local builder, but the second – in 1872- was by the renowned architect William Butterfield who created the character of the church as we see it today. He rebuilt the chapels and chancel windows. The nave windows he beautified by what are known as `Butterfield dumplings` created by cutting away the plaster like a pie crust to show the stonework underneath. Several of his contemporaries did similar things but here he carried it off to great effect. All the stalls and altar rails are his too – and of extremely high craftsmanship. The north chancel window is by Alexander Gibbs to Butterfield`s design. However the east window is a rarity. This is a Butterfield design to be made by the firm of Burlisson and Grylls – the only time it is thought they made a window to his design. A more typical window by the same firm is in the west wall of the church.

MILSTED
IS the next adjoining parish south-eastward from Bredgar. It lies on high ground, obscurely among the hills, and surrounded by woods, there being no thoroughfare of any account through it; the situation is not much different from that of Bredgar adjoining to it. The parish is but small, containing about eight hundred acres of land, of which about fifty are wood. The soil in the upper or southern part is poor, consisting partly of chalk, and partly of a red cludgy earth, the whole of which is much covered with flints; in the centre and northern part it is something more sertile and kindly for tillage. The church stands nearly in the middle of the parish, having the mansion of Hogshaws almost adjoining the east end of the church-yard, at the west part of which the parsonage stands. At no great distance from hence northward, in the vale, is all that there is of a village in the parish; near the southeast boundary is Torry-hill, belonging to Mr. Osborne Tylden, who resides in it; near the western boundary is Broadoak forstall, and the hamlet called from it. On this forstall there stands a remarkable large juniper tree, being near fifteen feet high, and near eight feet before it has any branches,
THE MANOR OF MILTON claims paramount over the greatest part of this parish, subordinate to which is THE MANOR OF MILSTED, which in the beginning of the reign of Edward I. was in the possession of Thomas Abelyn, who died possessed of it in the 4th year of that reign, then holding it as one messuage, and one carucate and an half of land, in Milsted, and pasture for three hundred sheep in the marsh of Elmele, of the king, in capite, by knight's service. He was succeeded in it by Nicholas Abelyn, who died two years afterwards, holding it by the like service. Soon after which it appears to have come into the possession of the family of Savage; one of whom, John le Siuvage, obtained a grant of free-warren in the 23d year of the above reign, for his lands in Milsted and other places; but before the 20th year of king Edward III. this names seems to have been extinct here; for at the making the black prince a knight, the heirs of John Savage paid aid for this manor. Indeed, it seems from the beginning of that reign, to have been in the name of Mocking, (fn. 1) from which it passed into that of Hoggeshaw, and Elmeline, late the wife of Sir Thomas Hoggeshaw, died in the 50th year of it, possessed of the manor of Milsted, held of the king in capite, as one knight's see.
Their son Edmund Hoggeshaw, succeeded to the possession of it, which had now, from their continuing owners of it, acquired the name of Milsted, alias Hoggeshaws, by which it has been known ever since. He died in the 12th year of king Richard II. s. p. upon which Joane, one of his sisters and coheirs, entitled her husband, Thomas Lovel, esq. to it, whose son Thomas, in the 12th year of king Henry IV. held a court for this manor; one of his decendants sold it to Robert Greaves, who died in the 9th year of king Henry VII. holding it in manner as above mentioned, Katherine, wife of George Sole, being his daughter and next heir. Soon after which, it became the property of Roger Wake, who died in the 19th year of king Henry VII. when this manor, with the advowson of the church of Milsted passed by his will to Margaret his daughter, whose husband, John Barnard, esq. entered into the possession of it. At length his grandson of the same name, dying an insant in the 14th year of king Henry VIII. it became vested, by the limitations in the will of Roger Wake above-mentioned, in his right heirs, who conveyed their interest in it to Sir Thomas Nevyle, and he passed it away by sale to Sir Robert Southwell, who in the 4th year of Edward VI. passed away, by fine then levied, the manor of Hoggeshaws, alias Milsted, and the advowson of the church of Milsted, then held of the king in capite, to Thomas Henman, senior, and his heirs. His son, Alan Henman, of Lenham, in the 12th year of that reign, sold it to Thomas Thomson, of Sandwich, jurat, for the use of Agnes, his daughter, who entitled her husband, John Toke, gent. of Goddington, to the possession of it. She survived her husband, and by her will in 1629, devised it to her eldest son Nicholas Toke, esq. of Great Chart, who in 1631, anno 7 Charles I. passed away both manor and advowson to Edward Chute, esq. of Bethersden, whose son George had married Eleanor Toke, his eldest daughter, and he anno 9 Charles I. conveyed it by fine then levied to Richard Tylden, gent. of Great Chart, and William Tylden, then an insant, his son. The family of Tylden had antiently possessions in the parishes of Brenchley, Otterden, Kennington, and Tilmanstone, in this county; one of them William Tylden, paid aid for lands in this county, in the 20th year of king Edward III. In the reign of queen Elizabeth, a branch of them was settled in the parish of Wormsell, one of whom, William Tylden, died there in 1613. His direct descendant, Richard Tylden, esq. of Great Chart, who bore for his arms, Azure, a saltier, ermine, between four phoens, or, purchased this manor and advowson as above-mentioned, whose eldest son William Tylden, gent. was of Hoggeshaws, as was his son Richard, who dying in 1763, was buried with his ancestors in the Tylden chancel, in this church. By Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Thomas Osborne, esq. of Hartlip, he left one son RichardOsborne, and three daughters, Hannah married to Edward Belcher, of Ulcomb; Mary to Thomas Bland, clerk, and Philippa, who died unmarried. Richard Osborne Tylden, esq. succeeded his father in this estate, and left his widow surviving (who re-married the Rev. Edward Smith, rector of Milsted, and died in 1776) and by her four sons, Richard, of whom hereafter; Osborne, of Torry-hill, esq. in this parish, who married the only daughter of John Withins, esq. of Surry; the Rev. Richard Cooke, rector of Milsted and Frinsted, and Manby May; and one daughter Elizabeth married to Mr. Valyer Baker, Surgeon, of Sittingborne. Richard Tylden, esq. succeeded on his mother's death to the possession of this manor, and now resides here; he married Miss Catherine Rolse, of Ashford, who died in 1783.
The last court held for this manor, being a courtbaron, was in the year 1632.
HIGHAM-COURT, now usually called Great Higham, is a manor in this parish, which was antiently the property of a family of the name of Nottingham, whence it acquired, as appears by antient writings, the name of Nottingham-court.
They resided at Bayford, in Sittingborne, so early as the reign of king Edward I. Robert de Nottingham, owner of this estate in the reign of Edward III. was sheriff in the 48th year of it, and kept his shrievalty at Bayford, in which year he died, and was found at his death to hold lands in Doddington, Tenham, Milsted, Tong, Bredgar, and Sittingborne, all which descended to his only son John Nottingham, who died s. p. leaving his daughter his sole heir, who marrying Simon Cheney, of Cralle, in Sussex, second son of Sir Richard Cheney, of Shurland, he became entitled to this manor. The Nottinghams bore for their arms, as Philipott says, Gules, two pales wavy, argent; which coat, impaled with Cheney, was in one of the windows of Milsted church. On the roof of the cloysters of Canterbury cathedral, are carved the arms of Nottingham, Gules, on a bend, argent, three escallops, azure; but of what kindred to these of Milsted, I have not found. In his descendants this manor continued down till Richard Cheney, esq. and his son John, in the year 1676, joined in the conveyance of it to Mr. Thomas Lushington, of Sittingborne, whose great-grandson, the Rev. Mr. James Stephen Lushington, is the present owner of this manor. (fn. 2)
Charities.
JOHN WIATT, of Milsted, by will in 1722, gave a moiety of several pieces of land in Milsted, Frinsted, and Wormesell, containing about twenty acres, towards the teaching of four poor children of this parish to read and write, vested in the minister and churchwardens, and of the annual produce of 2l. 4s.
There are five alms-houses belonging to this parish, on the eastern side of it, next to Kingsdown.
The poor constantly relieved are about nine; casually forty.
MILSTED is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sittingborne.
¶The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary and the Holy Cross is but small, and consists of one isle and one chancel, with a low square tower at the west end of it, in which hang three bells. On the north side is another small chancel, belonging to the Tyldens, in which many of them lie buried. On the south side there was another chancel, belonging to Higham-court, which was pulled down, by the mutual consent of the proprietor and parishioners in 1672.
In the church-yard, near the south porch, there is a very antient tomb-stone, having on it a cross botony, fuchee, carved in relief.
The church of Milsted was given by king John to Wydon the clerk, who held it, as appears by the Testa de Nevill, in the next reign of king Henry III. Whether he was lord likewise of Milsted manor I have not found; but from the next reign of king Edward I. to the present time, this church seems to have had the same possessors, and as such, the advowson of it is now the property of Richard Tylden, esq. of Hoggeshaws.
In 1578 there were fifty-five communicants. In 1640 eighty-seven, when it was valued at fifty pounds per annum.
It is a discharged living in the king's books, of the clear yearly certified value of forty four pounds, the yearly tenths being 17s. 6d. The glebe land consists of only three acres.
Well, that went pretty well. I was interviewed by the local paper, too. It's fairly accurate, even!
I should have photos from the event up soon.
You know me...just gotta capture the adventure! It's just kind of hard going back to a manual camera, separate light meter and 400 ISO film in this world of digital cameras. I've had the Nikonos III since early 1980s.
I know a few people on here appreciate these, hence why I bothered to photograph it. I wouldn't normally, as they are still a bit new for me to show an interest in at this age. To see a Favorit (F-M reg) would be an achievement though, of course. This is a bit of a rough-looking example, but is quite a solid car really for it's 123,000 miles.
We used to MOT/service a very clean R-reg Felicia 1.3 with about 30,000 on the clock owned by an old couple, but I've not seen it for about a year.
Also, I notice my car has managed to get itself included in yet another of my work-related spots. I don't do it on purpose, honest.
There are some people I know/ I have known - who are in a "friend-family" sort of group. A grown-up gang. I have always, kind of, wanted this. I come from a family with siblings (who I miss a ton and are always in my thoughts). The thing is - I wasn't/we weren't raised to be in the company of people and be in the company of people - comfortably but rather with suspect, not speaking.
If you don't/can't correct certain things when you are younger and do it fearlessly/as best you can…when you are my age, you are like,"F*ck it. It's too much work and effort. I'm gonna go home and freeze it up…overeat and cry some more."
Author/director - John Waters has always lived this and made movies as a tribute to his friends from the Charm City - living or deceased. I think this is boss…if you have enough love/courage/connection with your fellow man/woman to pull this off.
Anybody know exactly what this is? Bus Lists On The Web www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/ avers that it is an Albion VT21L. VT? What would that be? David Kaye's Buses and Trolleybuses Since 1945 (Batsford, 1968), a useful but fallible source, lists among Albion models the Venturer and the Victor. The Venturer was a double-deck chassis, long out of production at the time this vehicle was new. This seemed to leave the Victor, but that model's chassis designation began with the letters FT and it was for 35-seat bodywork. This vehicle has a Duple (Northern) 41-seat coach body.
I no longer have the original print of the photograph, but the link above gives the original owner as Gee Cross, Stalybridge. I don't remember taking the photograph or recognise the location, but it comes from a strip of negatives taken at Manchester and Stalybridge on Thursday 12th October 1978. Rover 3-litre coupé behind ...one of my all-time faves.

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
[break]
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one

Every garden grows one
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good

I know this is very over used but, Thank God Its Friday
Today was a nice day. starting off with no one getting a detention in my math class like normally. But art was the high light as usually; me and emily stole jakes chair so he got mad and was mugging us the rest of class. You probably should have been there you would have smiled. Oh this is Emily and Catie. in case you didn't know. :] we climbed a lot of trees and jumped a bunch of fences. adding more scratches, bumps, and bruises to my collection but it was fun and worth it.

p.s. I'm going to the beach tomorrow!! for the first time in like ever. I'm so excited. there will be some amazing pictures coming your way be prepared.
You know when you are mad busy, deadlines whizzing past and countless chores undone? Not only that but there is a particular thing you've been meaning to do for ages and set aside the afternoon aside for.
It is at precisely this time that it seems like a very good idea to divert from the task in hand and do something entirely unrelated and unnecessary. In fact, there is a naughty deliciousness to it; the tasting of a forbidden fruit.
This afternoon whilst rooting in the loft for something else, I came across my box of old camera stuff. It seemed to be a good time to organize all this camera gear, dust off the unused stuff and take a photo of it.
It is a motley pile but charts my photographic development from age 18 (manual focus F301 with prime 24mm, 50mm and Vivitar Series 1 Telezoom, Vivitar flash), to age 32 (autofocus F80 with 17-35 sigma ultrawide zoom, 28-100 zoom, SB50 flash) into the digital era (from 2006) with all the rest.
I should sell all the film / manual focus stuff but it is worth nowt. So I boxed it all up back in the loft, all neat and tidy.

Its been a long time since I had uploaded anything on flickr....and that is not good. I am addicted :) . Had been down with conjunctivitis ( the worst type of infection ever known to human kind) cant do anything..had to sit at home for 4 days...such a waste.
This picture has been captured by Smita, who very humbly says " mala macro capture karta yet nahi'.Well by the looks of it..you can.
Let me know what you guys think....
Oh by the way I AM BACK. :D
I know what those eyes are thinking. Only ten days left until Santa brings her a new Frisbee. Bella Grace is our youngest Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier.

You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here's a quick index to my Flickr site:
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

EXPLORE - JUST about made it: #496, then 'climbed up' to 363 when I looked now - Not that I expected this at all, but THANKS to all!!! It just shows that even modest uploads can make it... although we all will never know why some do and others dont.....! Explore's ways are mysterious! :)
Please read this message - Thanks :)
My son got very ill, just two days before the 'wedding of the year' (as far we were concerned!).
See wedding day
He is, ten days later, much better now but along with battling his illness he had another battle to fight - injustice coming from his employer and his feeling of impotence against near accusations of 'only' pretending to be ill (when he was actually in hospital). My son told his boss that he would call his GP right now and free him from his medical confidentiality and it seems that his boss didn't go any further. BUT the damage was done and my son is not a very happy man. His great desire was that the apprentices who were having their examns last week, were doing well and he regretted not having had those final moments to accompany them and help them up to their last minute with tips, help and 'fake tests'...
He's now well enough to be just angry and thinking of looking for another job. And yes, I tell you this because he is a gardener....
He loves BLUE, he has blue eyes, he has a wonderful big heart and a huge sense of justice, friendship and is just sometimes too good for this harsh world.
This upload is a token of my thankfulness for him being better again and a sign of letting him know that he's ALWAYS in his mother's heart, mind and will always be there. Children stay children for their parents, even once they are old enough to have children of their own...
This is also one of the many imperfect, but so perfect delphiniums I bought on the market yesterday. Imperfect because of the storm damages (torn petals, broken off stems, holes in the flower heads, etc.) and yet perfect because nature is never imperfect.
Then, I found this rather touching poem and I just knew I had to twin it with my photo and my diary of today! Have a blessed Sunday and a great Saturday, or what's left of it!
Here you can see the 'bees' and 'insect traps' in a larger size!
I, Gardener,
am the god of this small earth.
My will prevails within its boundary.
My whim determines worth.
By my command these rocks shall be
laid up to silhouette the morning sun
and shade the anemone.
This pool shall clarify its cup
of sand, enlarge the motion of these fish
and bear the lily up.
My cedar, narrow sentinel,
shall exclaim against the pallor of the sky
with prim, funereal quill.
Never will I begrudge the sum
required to enrich the peony or rose,
phlox or delphinium
but what I cherish must obey
and live within the limits of my law
or be pulled and cast away.
I deem the proper fate of grass
is to be sheared and decree that all first buds
be pinched. I will harass
chicory and goldenrod
exposing their root, and banish dock, thistle
and garlic from my sod.
I will set poison for the mole,
dust to death the aphid, never ask
has the severed worm a soul.
Yet I will tolerate the moth and bee,
welcome the warbler and the wren, and catbird
if he chirp no irony.

you know the worst thing about sunrises? you never know if the morning sky will give you beautiful colors or if the sun will rise without a single shade of brilliance...as a result you have roll the dice and wake up on a short nights rest and just hope you get something...
on this particular morning i'd been up until 1:30am putting together some financial reports after having working 10 hours at a trade show and i really could have used the rest, but as the sun came up and the colors changed i forgot all about being tired.
my haircut's not me.
i haven't found my style.
my sense of music's everywhere.
you want to know who i am?
well tell me when you find out.
cos im not sure either.
funny thing is we didnt know what emily was going as ... it was a last minute thing as i dont normally "do" halloween... its all a bit weak and wishy-washy here.. the odd house in the street might do a pumkin head... and thats about it ... its not a stong culture here although it is a bit more so that say 10 yrs ago ... shops are supplying a lot more . merchandise..
I raided sashas dressing up basket ( extensive choice) as i have been collecting dress up clothes all her 8 yrs... the hat with the grey hair was a wizards hat .. harry potter influences... she had a black velvet dress on ( mine) black fluffy cardi on under. a balck sash belted it. a net and bead dress decoration ... like a granny would wear around her neck, and 2 wizard capes tied around her waist to create a billowing skirt high black boots,,,, stripe gloves ... it did the trick i think,
she also had a beanie baby pinned to her back, " mr bones " my fave bit.
I did her make up ... im quite proud of my attempt ..
guess thats a bit of a WARDROBE RE MIX
Emily went for the pik, he mum had bought the stuff for her and her big sister did the make up. she didnt want to do the ugly look, dont blame her ! .. they looked good ... especially in the shaddows
Do I know where hell is?

You know, the ones where you just know you are gonna nail it. The ones where you have your idea all planned out. The ones where you know that if you can just get that right shot, you and the donkey are gonna get along just smashing...
Yeah? You have? Well, today was not one of those for me. FUCK! I am not sure if sometimes I just get over confident, or if I'm just not as good as I think I can be...but fuck it if today wasn't one of those shitty photo days. My original idea was to involve those big ol' giant cowboy boots again...you know, the ones I humped awhile back? Well, it just didn't come together. Lighting sucked, placement sucked, cars everywhere....baaaaahhhh!!!!
So here you are FGR, a VERY Forced Perspective. I kept trying to take a picture of myself and some asshole kept sticking his hand in the frame and crushing my ego...
I guess it fits right into Jordy's group "30 days of rants and raves"...so at least that worked out.
I missed last week... AGAIN. You know where to find more. :)

I know its been years since Blockbuster video went under but I am lazy, so what? Anyway, this was one of Murrieta's 2 blockbuster movie stores, it was closed during the first wave of closings, the other one closed when the chain finally went under, while this location became Chipotle, the other one remains vacant.
I know it may seem strange but I've wanted a genuine vintage barrel of monkeys for awhile now. I know you can still buy these new in the store, but it's not the same thing. I finally found these today! The next pic shows their copyright date so I'm pretty certain they're the real thing.

Bingo has been proven to have significant effect on improving a person’s cognitive abilities and efficiently alleviate stress.
I was antiquing this weekend and came across this old Bingo game. This is one game we didn't have and I saw many photo opportunities. We played during dinner tonight. Such an easy (and apparently from my fun fact healthy) game to play.
We're Here - Did you know...
I don't know anything about this site except it was totally abandoned in the earliest Streetview shot before later on becoming a hand car wash. The canopy and pump islands are still there. If anyone out there who sees this knows anything more about this place and its history I'd be interested to know!

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"
(And we're) rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story now
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Oh the proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Oh the proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river
[repeat song from here once]
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river.

I don't know what possessed me to take this shot. I've driven past this McDonald's a hundred times. Or at least as many times as burgers they've sold. And after I took the shot I sat there (we were at a stop light) and thought back....
All at once I was sitting in our red Ford station-wagon with the black interior. It was our special family trip to McDonald's - the folks and my younger brother and sister - up near the Boulevard Mall. We'd look up at how many hamburgers they sold and be amazed at the number. Dad would memorize our orders (it wasn't complicated then), get out of the car and head inside the little red and white building. It was SO exciting. McDonald's. Hamburgers and fries, and a chocolate shake so thick you hurt your face trying to suck it up through the straw.
Mom would drop down the metal glove compartment door with the 2 indentations for drinks, and we'd dig in. Except for the yucky onions, I was in heaven. This was a feast made for a queen! We'd sit and watch cars come out of the carwash in front of us. It was mind-numbingly boring...oh, but the food. It was such a huge event for us. Like a trip to the zoo, or the beach. McDonald's.
How different is it now, with the movie promos and toys for disinterested kids, the drive-thru for the hurried and hassled, and salads for the calorie-conscious. That's all well and good, I s'pose, but now a trip to McDonald's has lost its meaningfulness. They don't even list how many they've sold any more. Just "billions and billions served". The details are lost in the sauce.
But not in my memory.
I know I know, what's up with yer wano, well I like it, not sure why, it's as if Patch is eating Bokeh (or blur..)
Aragh sure photography doesn't always have to be tack sharp does it??!!

Norio knows that it was quite warm last night with the heavy rain storm from the south. He still appreciated the nice warming disc and blankets of his nest.
The very few persons abroad know that Baroque style never died in Ukrainian church architecture. Four centuries ago Orthodoxal Church hierarchs considered Baroque style the most beautiful one been the best to express the spirit and ideals of Orthodoxy. Since then Church interiors strictly follow this style. So if entering any Ukrainian church You will find Yourself just in the same environment as Your great-grandfather and the more ancient ancestor. The Orthodoxy is dealing with eternity thus any novelty does not been welcomed here. As traditions of Church Baroque never interrupted one may say not about some 'neo-Baroque' or imitation but about the authentic, living architectural style. This especially beautiful example is the Holy Cross Monastery Church built in the city of Poltava. The construction of it lasted since AD 1689 till AD 1756. During the Swedish invasion in 1709 this monastery was the head-quarter of Swedish King Karl the Twelfth. During the stormy XX century it completely lost whole interior if exclude the very few bronze chandeliers. But in recent years, the Orthodoxal church made Herculean efforts to restore its architectural heritage. The interior of this church has been restored completely to the state just the same as 300 years ago. The unique feature of it is the matter that all carved wood has been left no gilded which is in striking contrast with Orthodoxal traditions. A few carvers have done enormous work. It took several years to carve of linden the huge chancel and all the decorations of the church. It should be added that carvers worked only of food. It is considered that the work for the Church is such a great honor that artist does not need any additional payment
Очень немногие за рубежом знают, что стиль барокко не умер в украинской церковной архитектуры. Четыре века назад иерархи Православия сочли стиль барокко самым красивым и лучше всего выражающим дух и идеалы Православия. С тех пор церковные интерьеров строго следуют этому стилю. Так что, войдя в любую украинскую церковь, оказываешься в той же обстановке что и твой прадед и более древний предок. Православие имеет дело с вечностью, поэтому никакие нововведения здесь не приветствуются. Поскольку в церковной традиции стиль барокко никогда не прерывался, можно вести речь не о каком-то "нео-барокко» или подражании, а о подлинном, живом архитектурном стиле. Прекрасным примером является Крестовоздвиженский монастырь церковь, построенная в городе Полтаве.Строительство длилось с 1689 РХ до 1756 РХ. Во время нашествия шведов в 1709 году этот монастырь был штаб-квартирой шведского короля Карла Двенадцатого. Во время бурного XX века она потеряла весь интерьер, исключая несколько бронзовых канделябров. Но в последние годы, церковь совершила титанические усилия по восстановлению её архитектурного наследия.Интерьер этой церкви был восстановлен полностью в такое же состояние, как 300 лет назад.Уникальной особенностью является то, что все резное дерево оставлено без позолоты, что резко контрастирует с православными традициями. Несколько резчиков проделали огромную работу. Потребовалось несколько лет, чтобы вырезать из липы огромный алтарь и все украшения церкви. Следует добавить, что резчики работали только за еду. Считается, что работа для Церкви такая большая честь, что художник не нуждается в дополнительной оплате
