Gargoyle from Notre Dame in Reims - the black stuff is lead. The original lead roof on the church melted when the church was severely damaged in the First World War, which had this rather strange effect.

At Palais du Tau - the former palace of the archibishop of Reims. It was here the French king stayed before his coronation in the cathedral close by and after the coronation the banquet was held here - the first recorded one in 990 and the last in 1825. The palace gets its name from the Greek letter Tau which shape it resembled, a name first attested in the 12th century.

The first attested building in the place was a late Gallo-Roman villa, later to be replaced by a Carolingian palace. This in turn was rebuilt and now the oldest part of the palace is the chapel (dating to 1207) and the rest of the palace dates to around 1500 (with a later, Baroque face-lift 1671-1710). The palace was damaged by fire in 1914. It now houses the Musée de l'Œuvre which shows a great collection of pieces of art connected with the cathedral - from statues and tapestries to reliquaries and items used at the coronations.

Leaded by A.Davey

There are differences between the two, but another term for stained glass is leaded glass. We tend to see the images in stained glass, particularly ecclesiastical stained glass, as if they were two-dimensional cartoons without being aware of the lead that holds the composition together.

So, during an intermission in a recent nighttime performance at Portand's First Baptist Church, I took the opportunity to photograph a leaded glass window from the inside, thereby capturing the lead tracery as well as the jewel-like tones of the old glass.

As an aside, it would alarm some Baptists and some Muslims to learn that they share an aversion to representations of the human figure in their art. The First Baptist Church is a magnificent Richardsonian Romanesque structure whose interior decoration consists entirely of botanical motifs and geometric designs. Even Jesus's usual spot on the altar cross is vacant.

My immediate take on this fear of idolatry is that it silences an important source of stories. In other religious traditions, to enter a church is to be surrounded by images that repeat and reinforce the tenets of the faith. Looking at the ceiling of the First Baptist Church, with its abundant flowers and vines, will most likely remind the faithful that it's time to prune the shrubs.

Having said that, I discovered the Biblical characters at First Baptist inhabit the stained glass windows there. In fact, even this small sample of the glass there's a bit of the eagle of St. John the Evangelist. What happens when you see the eagle or, in this case, just a few of its wing feathers? Well, if you paid attention in Sunday School or Art History, you're drawn into a meditation upon "a figure of the sky, and believed by Christian scholars to be able to look straight into the sun. ... This symbolizes that Christians should look on eternity without flinching as they journey towards their goal of union with God."

I'm not endorsing the content of that message here, just admiring the universal human impulse to express complex ideas through symbolic images.

Lead Me Home by Jack Fusco

While spending the weekend near DC visiting family, I stepped out for a bit with my brother-in-law to explore a little bit of Virginia. After being asked by two drunk hillbillies to leave the area I was first set up in, we ended up a bit down this road taking some star trails and then stopped here before we headed back. Those hillbillies just couldn't seem to understand why I was taking pictures of the stars and it's nights like this one that are exactly why.

41.366 FIRE by HelenHates Peas

17 16

The Birthday part two.

Not long after getting to know Phil, we had a long chat about how I wanted to make "Those pictures with steel wool". He drew a bit of a blank and I endevoured to explain.

Simply take:

1 basic kitchen whisk

1 dog chain lead

1 packet of DIY steel wool

a small length of jewellry wire

a kitchen gas lighter

2 torches

1fire extinguisher

1 camera and tripod

2 very excited children (by children I mean adults with a passion for FIRE! there was a lot of this bit "Fire do do dooooo do do do FIRE")

So, use the wire to attach the whisk to the dog lead. Fill the whisk with some steel wool.

Pop the camera on the tripod, using one of the torches shine it on your clothing and let the other child focus the camera. Click the focus into manual.

Light the wool with the lighter and begin to swing the lead in a circular motion.

At this point burning wool will be sparking out all over the place and you can't help but scream.

Whilst you are screaming, have the other person hit the shutter, making sure your shutter speed is slow enough, this will catch the sparks and create a giant catherine wheel.

For further details, ask me or better still, google you tube and watch the same gurus that I did :)

We did this behind a derelict chippy, close enough to the road to drive, but sheltered enough not to draw attention. It was an EPIC way to spend a difficult day and ultimately I think we both exorcised a lot of pent up emotion.

Phil burned his hair a bit, got a small hole in his fleece and worked up a friction blister on his index finger from the speed he swung the chain at.

I burned my hat, screamed a lot and went home with holes in my tights.

All in all a wonderful evening.

(Do you recognise the location?)

Oh and Michael Westall thank you for this tip-off! www.homeofpoi.co.uk/ I cannot tell you how excited I am to discover this!

The room (second version) by Beata (Rydén) Carlberg

8 2

A room of ones own. A room to be safe inside, where no one can hurt you. A room to long for, yet a room that can lead to isolation and a feeling of being cut off from the outer world.

I started my first series on this topic in 2011, Finding Peace. I then created Serenade for solitude.

This image was taken during the time I created Serenade for solitude. It was actually taken as a test shot, but I found this image on my hard drive last year and liked it very much and decided to edit it as a continuation on the topic of personal borders, integrity and isolation.

First I did this image. But this series is evolving and changing all the time and I felt the need for more red birds (as in this image). So this is the second version. I definitely need to work more on this series, I´m not done with this secret room.

I hope you are all doing well in these strange pandemic times <3

BMW Z8 by Marcinek_55

"It would be easy to associate the BMW Z8 with other retro-revival cars of the 1990s and early 2000s, but that would hardly be the case. BMW had already honoured its past with the sporty Z3 roadster, after all. So, the Z8 instead married the muscular V-8 engine from BMW’s Motorsports division with the considerable design talent of lead exterior pen Henrik Fisker. This was to be the company’s halo car and would boldly launch BMW into the 21st century.

The Z8, nearly identical to the Z07 show car from the 1997 Tokyo salon, was unlike any BMW since the M1. Its styling evoked the BMW 507—the design icon that so nearly bankrupted the fledgling automaker in the 1950s. Under its sumptuous curves sat an M5-sourced S62 4.9-liter V-8 paired to a six-speed manual transmission. The Z8 had the power to back up its stunning styling..."
