As I stand before the ancient stone facade, a remarkable testament to a thousand years of history, I am captivated by the intriguing marks and wear that adorn its surface. Time has etched its narrative on the stones, leaving behind a tapestry of stories for those willing to listen.
The stones bear the weight of time, displaying a mosaic of hues and textures, each mark and discoloration serving as a chapter in this enduring tale. Weathered patches reveal the battles fought, the storms weathered, and the passage of countless seasons. It is as if the facade carries the weight of centuries on its shoulders, proudly displaying the scars of time as a testament to its resilience.
Nestled beside this venerable wall, a magnificent wooden door with intricate metalwork catches my eye. Crafted with skill and adorned with ornate iron hinges, it stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The wood, aged and weathered like the stone, emanates a warm and inviting aura, hinting at the stories that lie beyond its threshold.
I imagine this grand scene unfolds on the outskirts of the historic city of Ghent. The grandeur and charm of this place are palpable, as if the spirit of the city seeps through every stone and every inch of wood. Perhaps this stately facade and its beautiful door guard the entrance to a majestic church, one that has witnessed countless weddings, funerals, and moments of divine connection.
In the historical city of Ghent, the past and the present intertwine harmoniously, creating a tapestry of heritage and beauty. As I take in the sight before me, I feel a deep sense of reverence and gratitude for the lives lived, the stories told, and the enduring legacy that has shaped this remarkable place.

Attend this event in 2017, and somehow the only files I could find of my images was in Dropbox. Happy to find a few files there. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail
A pair of rings with distinct designs on each side, captured in macro to highlight their intricate details. The contrasting textures and reflections make for an interesting perspective, perfect for Macro Mondays.

The small cylindrical item in the foreground is one of the Folkestone Triennial art installations from 2014, called Pent House 2 by Diane Dever and Jonathan Wright, marking a point in the course of the now buried Pent Stream.
The two upstanding pipes are cast iron vent stacks from a sewer.
In 1893, the monastery decided to build a new Tabernacle Church with a chamber in the name of Saints Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk. In the same year, the architect Volodymyr Nikolaev drew up a project of a new building, which was erected in 1894-95 on the site of the temple, which was dismantled.
Ten cast-iron columns for the Dining Room were made according to Nikolayev's drawings and drawings; In 1895, ten metal crosses were erected at the Valker metalwork factory: eight for the church, two for the Table; by the masters of Herstof - metal openwork doors between the church and the ward.
У 1893 році монастир ухвалив спорудити нову Трапезну церкву з палатою в ім'я преподобних Антонія і Феодосія Печерських. Того ж року архітектор Володимир Ніколаєв склав проєкт нової споруди, яку звели у 1894-95 роках на місці храму, який розібрали.
За малюнками та кресленнями Ніколаєва було виготовлено десять чавунних колон для Трапезної; 1895 року на фабриці металевих виробів Валькера — десять металевих хрестів: вісім — на церкву, два — на Трапезну; майстрами Герстофа — металеві ажурні стулки дверей між церквою та палатою.
The engaging - and frequently enraging - metalwork of M. T. Liggett is part art, part agitprop. Decades in the making, Liggett's extensive collection of metal whirligigs and totems lines his property outside Mullinville, Kansas. Hundreds of pieces reflect a singular view of life and politics, local, national and global, and depict (some would say skewer) the likes of tomato- and squash-bodied flower children, school board members and all manner of Mullenville's "elitist bourgeois." Front and center, however, are a jack booted Hillary Clinton, goofy Al Gore, President Rush, King George, a headless Laura Bush, and a call to "Elect Ted Kaczynski." There's hearts and love here, too, if you're looking.
For much more info, just google M. T. Liggett.
You just KNOW who I am referring to.
The original shot of an art project made by my younger daughter was taken with my iPhone11. I used Photofox's KaleidoDrop component to create the image.
Wishing all of you the best now and during the coming year. I enjoy your photos and the comments that we share with one another.
I took this photo on the way to Kohler-Andrae State Park Monday. As many of you know, I love metalwork art, especially that made of recycled objects. The people who own this moose sculpture usually decorate it for the Christmas holidays, and this year was no exception.
Yes, DevilDucMike, I was lurking in your neighborhood for a wee bit. :-)
