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

A great last light hour wading around Kynance Cove. No footprints , and just caves and pinnacles to explore. Last orders by Richard Hawley is fine.
This is one of my photos that has been stolen and used with an image of the Forth Bridge (probably also stolen) by a guy from FreakingNews. In FreakingNews he is called "johnx1" and he has posted there:
"My email and phone are going mental with orders for prints from all over the world and I just got a request to use the image from a science fiction mag who want it on the cover of their next issue."
Here is my photo:
www.flickr.com/photos/wentloog/15514490598/
I have written to him, but he has not replied, so if you know him, he's from Rosyth, Kingdom of Fife, Scotland, and describes himself as a "joiner carpenter, artist and writer", let me know please. If you see this image turn up on a magazine or you have anything to do with FreakingNews and can help, I'd be grateful.
Please feel free to fave or comment on this image, the more of you that do will mean the more people will get to see it and I have a better chance of nailing this thieving SOB.
I have not given him or anyone else permission to use my photo in any way.
Nine times out of ten I give permission for people to use my photos for non-commercial purposes for free, but this guy is just taking the Pee-One-Fifty-Five!

Some facts on flies...
Flies form one of the five most diverse insect orders, including about 150,000 described species in 150 families.
It's estimated that there are 30,000 species of fly in Australia, of which only 6400 have been described.
Flies can be distinguished from other insects because they have only one pair of functional wings. Almost all flies have mouthparts that are adapted for lapping or piercing and sucking.
A large component of the world's fly fauna is unique to Australia. Flies are ubiquitous and often abundant in Australian terrestrial ecosystems.
They perform important ecological functions such as nutrient recycling, predation and pollination, and their larvae are often parasitoids of other insects.
Many species of fly are regarded as a nuisance, including the bush fly (Musca vetustissima), mosquitoes, sandflies and blackflies.
Flies are responsible for the transmission of a wide variety of disease-causing micro-organisms in humans and animals.
Most of these diseases are absent from Australia, with exceptions such as dengue fever and some types of encephalitis.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Happy Sunday
Despite leaving my house under full cloud cover, by the time I got to the Onawa area the clouds were clearing up nicely, and Job 1 had gotten a fairly quick departure from Brownville Junction. A hour and a half later, and they're seen here tackling the grade west out of Onawa, passing Little Greenwood Pond with a trio of SD40-2Fs and a GP38-3 for power, with sixty-one cars trailing. This spot is the location of a head-on collision in 1919, where an eastbound freight train misread their train orders, and hit a westbound passenger train of immigrants, killing twenty-three people.
It is beyond time to take action to:
1. Require universal background checks and waiting periods.
2. Ban assault weapons, high capacity magazines and bump stocks.
3. Authorize risk protection orders.
4. Repeal “Stand Your Ground” to discourage the unlawful and reckless use of firearms.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
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.

The red, present in the middle is actually a huge building. Used to be a shopping centre, now mostly offices.

The Cathedral was constructed at the orders of King William II and is located in the city of Palermo. The whole area is made up of mosaic workmanship using glass tesserae in the Byzantine style. In total the area covered by mosaic work add up to 6,500 m2.
The East Apse shown here features the central image of Christ Pantokrater or Christ Almighty. All of the work inside depicts stories from the Old and New Testament.
Set of three images with the last one being a close up so that you can see the individual tiles.
Despite the rapidy advancing modernization, there are still a number of spots on the Nis - Dimitrovgrad stations that still had retained their charm as of April. Here 661 124 arrives at Dolac where the station master has some orders to hand up to the crew. After a quick stop the train will proceed to Bela Palanka where a relief crew has been called.
She has been given orders she must depart tomorrow as the army must march asp to stop the advancing enemy. She is unsure as to what will happen or even if she will return and she needs a moment by herself to take in the castle's great hall. She wished to carry this memory when she may need to reflect on where her heart lies. She wanders about quietly and solemnly hoping that she will return but alas, the enemy is very well trained and their aim is to take the forest by force. She shakes herself and remembers what her task is to fulfil and she hurries to the armoury to ensure her weapons are sharp and required for the enemy at hand.
Birds of prey are fascinating and majestic animals. They can generally be defined as birds that feed on animals that they catch alive. Representatives of these two orders can be found almost everywhere in the world. Although these groups are distantly related, the behavioural and anatomical characteristics they share appear to be mainly the result of parallel evolution.

they have a moment. the urn waits. the square on both sides continues without them. stall 72, jemaa el-fna — a conversation that will be interrupted shortly, as all conversations here are.
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.
Paducah & Louisville LG1 crawls through Millwood right before sunset. They are in the middle of an almost-constant 10mph slow order from Leitchfield.
My nurse practitioner told me to I walk at least one hour per day. Hey, I can do that. What better place to walk than this?
Heber Valley 5926 pulls along a full capacity Deer Creek Reservoir near Soldier Hollow the afternoon of May 30, 2025.
The CNJ heritage unit shoves out of Millington station past the old DL&W train order signal which amazingly still stands. How long has it been since a station agent issued orders to a train here?

We recently touched on reminiscing back to our school days and the characters we were so lucky to go to school with, which many of you related to.👨🏫🎓🚌
The last reportage on said matter occurred during a biology lesson, so I thought it would be appropriate to carry on from where we left off.📘📕📘
Our teacher was giving us a lesson on the circulation of blood. Trying to make the matter easier to understand he said, “Now children, if I stood on my head, the blood would run into it and my face would turn red”. “Yes Sir” we all said.😡
The teacher then put this question to us, “Why is it that while I am standing upright, the blood doesn’t run into my feet?” Little Reggie shouts from the back of the class, “it’s because your feet aren’t empty Sir”.👣🙋♂️👦
I will leave you with this thought for the weekend, Hoof recently had a medical in order to renew his Aeronautics licence, the Doctor told Hoof that he needs to watch his alcohol intake.
