I managed to get away from the flat cheshire plain for half an hour up at Tegs Nose Country Park near Macclesfield, the evening light just got better and better and I enjoyed having a little 'me' time.

HILL OF CROSSES
It was raining a lot, but I managed to visit this historical and religious place.
Hill of Crosses is a major site of Catholic pilgrimage near the city of Šiauliai. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the rebellion against Russian authorities in 1831. As families could not locate bodies of perished rebels, they started putting up symbolic crosses at the site of a former hill fort. Today there are more than 100,000 crosses and counting. Once Lithuania declared its independence, the Hill of Crosses was used as a place for Lithuanians to pray for peace, for their country, and for the loved ones they had lost during the Wars of Independence. In 1993, Pope John Paul II visited the Hill of Crosses, declaring it a place for hope, peace, love and sacrifice.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

"Weightless" by All Time Low
Blehhh, forgot to add my iPod playing this song into this photo. Oh well. Editing skills suck, haha!
Anywho, I thought it was necessary for me to take a photo inspired by this song, since well...I love it!
My life right now: Single. Not thrilled. Still his best friend though. Some say though, it's not the end of us. Some even say that we don't even look like we broke up. o_o
On the bright side though...I MAY BE GOING TO WARPED TOUR WITH HIM THIS SUMMER! :D
I managed to get a pose with a weird light dude. A 20" exposure is not the most ideal for self-portraits :)

I managed to sneak in a visit to Hardwick Hall before it was forced to close for the November lockdown. Wednesday 4th November 2020. It’s one of the grandest and most important Elizabethan country houses and it’s actually changed very little since that period.
Hardwick Hall was built between 1590 and 1597 (while the adjacent Hardwick Old Hall was still being constructed!) for Bess of Hardwick, and was designed by the architect Robert Smythson. Bess was born in 1527 and through a series of well-made marriages, she rose to the highest levels of English nobility and became enormously wealthy. She was a shrewd business woman, increasing her assets with business interests including mines and glass-making workshops. Already owning Chatsworth House, Bess of Hardwick was the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I and she wanted a grander house to reflect that (it contains one of the largest long galleries in any English house - pictures of that to follow!). The house was very modern for its time and contained a lot of glass windows in a period when glass was seen as something of a luxury.
After Bess's death in 1608, the house passed to her son William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire, and subsequent Dukes preferred Chatsworth over Hardwick. As a secondary home, Hardwick escaped the attention of modernisers and thankfully received few alterations after its completion. In 1950, the unexpected death of the 10th Duke of Devonshire, with the subsequent death duties (rated at 80%), caused the sale of many of the Devonshire assets and estates. Hardwick was handed over to HM Treasury in lieu of Estate Duty in 1956 and the estate was transferred to the National Trust in 1959.
In recent years Hardwick Hall was used to film the exterior scenes and interior scenes of Malfoy Manor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

I managed to sneak in a visit to Hardwick Hall before it was forced to close for the November lockdown. Wednesday 4th November 2020. Visitors to Hardwick Hall can’t fail to miss the ruined Old Hall which stands opposite the entrance to the “new” Hall. Some people think that the old hall must be a lot older than the new hall, but actually they were built at almost the same time!
Hardwick Old Hall was built 1587-1596 by Bess of Hardwick, who was among the richest and best-connected women of the Elizabethan age. After the collapse of her fourth marriage to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, Bess fled from Chatsworth in 1584 to her family estate at Hardwick where she started work on the [old] Hall which was on the site of the small manor house where she was born.
In 1590 her husband died and Bess recovered control of all her lands and acquired a very sizeable widow’s jointer. Before Hardwick Old Hall was even complete, Bess immediately started to build another larger, much grander house immediately beside this (the "New Hall") this time using architect Robert Smythson. The two halls were intended to complement each other, like two wings of one building.
Bess died in 1608, later Dukes of Devonshire eventually came to prefer Chatsworth over Hardwick, and partially dismantled the Old Hall in the 1750s, and it gradually became ruinous. The whole estate was transferred to the National Trust in 1959 and although the Old Hall (which is actually operated by English Heritage) is open to the elements, many of the original plaster overmantels are still in place. However, the Old Hall has been closed this year for essential conservation work. It is possible to look around the outside though, and the Hardwick estate is remaining open during the current pandemic restrictions, check the National Trust amd English Heritage websites for details.
Managed to grab a few shots before my battery died, first time shooting sunset related things ever so I know they aren't perfect! :-)
Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.
