Vespers, evening prayer of thanksgiving and praise in Roman Catholic and certain other Christian liturgies. Vespers and lauds (morning prayer) are the oldest and most important of the traditional liturgy of the hours. Many scholars believe vespers is based on Judaic forms of prayer and point to a daily evening celebration observed among Jews in the 1st century BCE.By the 3rd century CE the writings of Tertullian show clear evidence of an evening prayer. During the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries, cathedral choirs and monastic orders developed the vespers service, as it was known for centuries thereafter. Following the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), the Roman Catholic service was translated into the vernacular and simplified, but it continues to revolve around the Magnificat canticle, various psalms and antiphons, and readings that vary according to liturgical season.
The Lutheran and Anglican churches both include an evening prayer service in their liturgies. In the Anglican church, evening prayer traditionally is called evensong and can be found in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. Both Protestant churches revised their rite for evening prayer during the 1970s, and both rites are patterned closely after the traditional Roman Catholic evening prayer. In the Anglican church the revised prayers offer alternative choices for greater individual choice among congregations.
Les vespres són una part de l'ofici diví -previ a les completes-, que constitueixen la pregària del vespre, i que s'acostuma a celebrar cap al capvespre. En la litúrgia romana, tenen una estructura semblant a la de les laudes i té les parts següents:
el versicle inicial Deus in adjutorium meum intende, i l'himne.
la salmòdia, actualment consistent en dos salms i un càntic del Nou Testament.
la lectura i el responsori amb el cant del Magníficat.
la pregària que acaba amb el rés del Parenostre.
l'oració i els versicle o el diàleg finals.
Tant la salmòdia gregoriana com el magníficat s'interpreten de forma antifonal.
Tal com va passar amb altres parts de la litúrgia, les vespres de les grans solemnitats, ja fos de les festes assenyalades de l'any litúrgic, ja fossin les festes principals d'una determinada localitat o territori, a partir del segle xvi els textos de les vespres van rebre musicalitzacions polifòniques per part d'un bon nombre de compositors, especialment d'aquells que servien a l'església i rebien aquesta mena d'encàrrecs per dotar la litúrgia de l'esplendor adient.
Posteriorment, i d'acord amb els estils més de moda en cada època, a partir de primer Barroc molts compositors van optar per un estil concertant. Tal és el cas de les Vespres (Vespro della beate Vergine) de Claudio Monteverdi, i les diverses que va compondre Mozart (vesperae de Dominica i Vesperae solemnes de confessore). Entre les més destacades del segle xx hi ha les de Serguei Rakhmàninov (que responen als cànons de la litúrgia de l'església ortodoxa russa, i les que el compositor txec Petr Eben va escriure sobre un text en català i que s'estrenaren a Montserrat l'any 1968.
Entre els compositors catalans que han escrit vespres o, en tot cas, salms de vespres, hi ha Francesc Valls i Joan Cererols; i entre els valencians, Joan Genís Peres.

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
You know ya never coming backt

I had an epic road trip for work today. I only managed to stop a couple of times on the way home - this was taken near Oatlands, central Tasmania. The clouds were really doing some amazing things and needed to be photographed. I've photographed this tree before - it owns the hillside and keeps an eye out on the surrounding farmland.
Autumn Mists - Times Of Uncertainty by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music : Wordclock - It May Come by Cryo Chamber
__________________________________________________
Meanwhile in Asghardia at the top of a staircase in a richly ornamented stonework a figure with a long embroidered mantle looked at the landscape with autumnal tones that vanished through a dispersed fog.
His thoughts roamed the horizon through the mists of uncertainty that surround his beloved Kingdom Of Krudhyn.
Old rumors and old superstitions increased in a thick cloak of uncertainty and conspiracies among the Old Orders, there had always been rivalries but never as much as now.
The choice of the Guardian Master Of The Black Order for Cardinal of the Kingdom was not a consensual decision within Aghort, the general council of the orders, but the influence that the Cardinal exercised as the former Khanton (*) of the kingdom had weight with King Ehomyhr, although defended the independence of the state in relation to those of the old orders.
It was this recent condescension that intrigued her even more - Her husband had always defended the separation of powers! -She thought aloud while watching the autumn tones that painted the landscape around the Old Winter Palace.
Not far away, on a parapet with a privileged view, there was a curious black crow that seemed to observe all the movements that the Queen Elyandhyn made.
She had already seen him, but pretended that she hadn't noticed, since she was a child, she had no sympathy for those animals with piercing eyes and black feathers with metallic blue reflections. But what was strange is that lately it was not the first time that she had seen crows in the old palace although they were rare - I have new secret admirers, she thought as she smiled.
(*) Khanton is the equivalent of King's Counselor in other monarchies.

A throwback to 2015 and a group of snappers scramble for position at Barnetby station just 3 months before the signals were decommissioned, in an attempt to bag a few final shots from this one-time semaphore mecca.
The secondary subject on this occasion is DB Cargo Shed 66132, seen here working an iron ore empties from Scunthorpe back to Immingham Dock to collect yet another load for the hungry steelworks' blast furnaces.
Plenty of heat-haze coming off the loco which, despite the box wagons being empty, still looks like it's putting in a shift.

There are several Sufi orders in Senegal.
The Xaadir (Qādiriyya) is the oldest and founded in Baghdad by the Sufi mystic Abdul Qādir al-Jilānī in the 12th century, now pan-Islamic, spread to Senegal in the 18th Century.
His portrait is at the far left, with his name in Arabic :
عبدالقادر الجيلاني
The members of this family probably belong to this Muslim brotherhood.
The most important brotherhoods in Senegal are:
- The Xaadir (Qādiriyya), the oldest, founded in Baghdad by the Sufi mystic Abdul Qādir al-Jilānī in the 12th century, spread to Senegal in the 18th Century.
- The Tijaniyyah, the largest in membership, founded in Fez, Morocco by the Algerian born Cheikh Sīdī 'Aḥmad at-Tijānī.
- The Mourides, the richest and most active, founded by the Islamic leader Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba (1850–1927) of French West Africa, now Senegal.
- The Layene are a smaller Sufi order, centered at Yoff, north of Dakar.
I will try to found out about the other portraits, but I had understood that they were Gilani's son and grandson. ( no, I don't think so)
If you know, let me know!

Our coffee shop next door has finally reopened. Our world as we know it has permanently changed. But at least we can have some kind of normal and enjoy the odd moment pretending everything was back the way it was.

Nobody really knows what the end of year festivities will look like this year, but hopefully they will still include trees.
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after restoring the Orangist power by suppressing the Dutch popular unrest. One of the best-known landmarks of Germany, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which used to be the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament (Bundestag). The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, a boulevard of linden trees which led directly to the royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered not only as a symbol of the tumultuous histories of Germany and Europe, but also of European unity and peace.

After opening prematurely, Texas saw a dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases. So the governor ordered wearing masks in public, as these photographers are doing.
Wishing you all a happy 4th of July.
CN L542 pauses on the Fergus Spur just outside FloChem while the conductor and trainee meet with the yard foreman to discuss spotting the inbound cars. Their 15 minute break allowed plenty of time for a farmer to finish plowing his driveway which crosses both the Fergus Spur main track and the FloChem siding. Shortly, 4732 will cut off from it's train and run ahead to the switch for the crew to sweep it out and start their work.

One from my mineral collection is this Natrolite. Natrolite is a tectosilicate mineral species belonging to the zeolite group. It is a hydrated sodium and aluminium silicate with the formula Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O.
Needle stone or needle-zeolite are other informal names, alluding to the common acicular habit of the crystals, which are often very slender and are aggregated in divergent tufts. The crystals are frequently epitaxial overgrowths of natrolite, mesolite, and gonnardite in various orders.
