I've been running, trying to be one who sees

I've been working, this salvation out on my knees

There is nothing better than knowing

We are redeemed

I'm believing, trusting in creative hands,

I am praying for our world to bow to your plan

And this one thought is unmistakable

To take up my cross and follow You Lord

 

When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow

When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

 

I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death

He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness

Undelivered, but it doesn't seem right

Unless I keep my eyes focues on the Savior who gave His life

In the middle of a world that denies it believes

It is breaking apart at the very seams

There is one thing to be alive for

And it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord

 

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow

When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

 

I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me

And I will take up my cross and follow wherever you go

 

When You stand, the tall trees and mountains bow

When You speak, the fiercest of oceans are still

And I see the sinner seek devotion

The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees

 

Fall to my knees

In the poorer neighborhoods of Baltimore, one of the weapons of choice for self-defense is the box cutter. It will do damage, but not too much damage; it is cheap and easily hidden in the palm of the hand; and it won't get you locked up on a concealed deadly weapon charge if you get hassled by the police.

 

An ex-Baltimore Police officer used to rent a furnished apartment on my block a number of years ago. He left the police on disability retirement after his liver or kidneys stopped working properly (I can't remember which). When he was police, he worked the overnight shift, slept in his car, and always made a point of locking up some hapless smokehound or junkie on bullshit charges right before his shift ended so that he could collect court overtime the next morning.

 

He used to walk up to the the 7-11 on Orleans Street and Patterson Park Avenue every night after midnight to buy smokes. One time, a teenager tried to rob him, and he slashed the kid's face pretty badly with a box cutter. He was laughing when he told the story. I doubt the kid ever reported the incident to the police – a stuck stick-up artist isn't going to get much sympathy from the cops.

 

Eventually, my neighbor developed a bit of a heroin problem and was evicted – all of his stuff thrown out on the sidewalk, the whole drama.

Brought back these Parrot tulips from the Continent... they were very fresh, kept them in the cool and dark, they survived 6 days and our travels, enough for me to still be able to photograph them.

They are so curvy and capricious and gorgeously unique...

We found this wonderful and mystic location at the last day of our vacation. It is located at the shore of Los Hervideros, where the lava of the Timanfaya eruption flew into the ocean. The picture was taken at low tide, so you can see both, the rounded pepples and rocks in the foreground and the sharp-edged lava in the background.

 

It was hard for us to say goodbye to Lanzarote at this place, on the other hand it is a great incentive to come back again.

 

I wanted to title this picture in spanish and hope it's passably okay :-)

To be serious, one of my top-ten super hero movies is definitely Big Hero 6. It has a great storyline despite that it's made for kids. Furthermore the animations are really well done and the emotions of the characters are captured perfectly. In addition all the scenes in the movie are filled with a lot of nice details.

 

The fact that they used a Fall out Boy song makes everything even better!

 

I especially liked how they designed Hiro's Workshop. It's full of stuff.

Now with a SuperHero competition on Imperium der Steine I had the chance to build it in Lego.

Peratallada que ha sido declarada conjunto histórico artístico, es uno de los núcleos más importantes del Ampurdán en cuanto a arquitectura medieval se refiere. De un extraordinario atractivo y belleza, conserva su antiguo aspecto feudal, donde hay que destacarn el castillo fortificado con su torre del homenaje y el palacio (s. XI-XIV), las murallas (s. XII-XIII) y la iglesia de San Esteban (románica, de principios del s. XII ). Llama la atención el gran foso que rodea a esta localidad, excavado en la roca viva. De aquí procede el nombre de la Villa: Piedra Tallada.

La villa conserva la misma distribución urbana medieval: desde la Plaza Mayor, con sus singulares porches, hasta la trama de estrechas callejuelas, donde descubriremos un interesante conjunto de arquitectura popular.

Tai O

 

View On Black and Large

 

Also known as the "Venice of Hong Kong", Tai O is also a hot tourist spot for both foreigners and residents of other parts of Hong Kong, despite damage by a fire in July 2000. The pang uks, a kind of stilt house, built right over the waterway are still quite scenic. A rope bridge tended by local women used to be quite popular with visitors, but it has been replaced with a steel pedestrian bridge.

 

The traditional salted fish and shrimp paste and storefronts at Tai O. For a small fee, some residents will take tourists out on their boats along the river and for short jaunts into the sea. Many tourists come to Tai O specifically to take these trips to see Chinese white dolphins. It is also a good place to see the sunset.

Inspired by Tanjeer Bhai's Dew Drops On Spider Web. I was in my host family's place today, so after seeing Tanjeer bhai's spider web picture, I figured I should shoot some spiders too! So out I went with my all knowing ten year old host sister, Christiana. She spotted this spider web within a few seconds, and we tried sprinkling some water on the web to mimic dew drops (with miserable outcome). The water just would not stick on the web (next time I will try some viscous liquid!). Anyway, this is a "non dew drop" spider web picture, and Miss S. Pider seems to be engrossed building her elaborate trap!

La Rovina si è mantenuta solo nella parte nord e presenta la tipica seghettatura medioevale. Da non perdere per alcun motivo la collezione di erbe medicinali della contadina. Attraverso i castagneti ed i frutteti si raggiunge la frazione di S. Osvaldo. L’omonima chiesa (750 metri) risale al 1234. Di quest’epoca anche la torre, il coro invece risale al XV secolo. Vicino alla chiesetta si estende un piccolo stagno. In questa zona cresce una specie di erba che produce un fine piumaggio pallido. Unita in piccoli mazzetti, quest’erba è utilizzata come ornamento sui cappelli dei musicisti e degli Schützen.

The genus Agapanthus was established by L'Heritier in 1788. It used to be included in the Liliaceae (lily family), was then moved to the Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis and daffodil family), moved again into the Alliaceae (onion family) then back to Amaryllidaceae and now resides in its own family, the Agapanthaceae.

The name Agapanthus is derived from the Greek agapé love and anthos, flower. There is no clear reason for this derivation although it could be interpreted as 'lovely flower' or 'flower of love'. Agapeo means 'to be contented with' which is a possible derivation, i.e. 'flower with which I am well pleased'. The specific name praecox means early, premature, unseasonable or precocious in Latin, and was possibly given because compared to the other species it is an early flowerer; minimus means smallest, which it is; and orientalis of the east, which is most likely a case of mistaken origin. Quite often in those days, the ships carrying the new plant material back to Europe came from the East, via the Cape, and some of the botanists assumed that all the plants on board came from the East.

Excerpt from www.lecinqueterre.org/eng/arte/montebattista.php:

 

THE CHURCH OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST

 

The church of San Giovanni Battista was built between 1244 and 1307, the date inscribed on a rock in the second column on the left looking towards the altar. Remodeled in the Baroque period and more recently between 1963 and 1964, it is a splendid example of Genoese Ligurian Gothic.

 

The façade is made of alternating vestments of white marble and dark green serpentine, with a slightly splayed pointed portal, flanked by a double pair of marble columns and surmounted by a lunette with an 18th century fresco depicting the Baptism of Christ. The splendid central rose window in white marble is a splendid example of ornate Gothic, attributed to Matteo and Pietro da Campiglio. From the central button, eighteen smooth and twisted columns radiate alternating from which intertwined trefoil arches branch off.

 

With a basilica plan with three naves, it has a progressive narrowing of the width of the aisles towards the entrance, with the dual effect of creating a perspective illusion and favoring the propagation of sound waves. Inside are preserved the baptismal font from 1360, a canvas of the Madonna del Rosario from the school of Luca Cambiaso, a painting depicting the Crucifixion by an unknown artist, probably a Genoese painter from the 17th century and the high altar from 1734. One of the columns bears an inscription engraved in medieval characters.

 

The bell tower with Ghibelline battlements rises alongside the apse area, an ancient medieval control tower with a rectangular plan, opened by Gothic mullioned windows with arches decorated with denticles, raised in the 15th century and remodeled in the 18th century after an earthquake.

Nash Point Lighthouse

Position 51° 24'.00 N 03° 33'.05 W

 

Nash Point Lighthouse

 

Nash Lighthouse was designed by James Walker, the Engineer-in-Chief to Trinity House, in 1832 to mark the sandbanks off the point at the entrance to the Bristol Channel. The decision to build it followed a public outcry after the passenger steamer FROLIC was wrecked with heavy loss of life in 1830.

 

Two circular towers were built each with massive walls and a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37 metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high light was painted with black and white stripes and the low light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed light which was either red or white depending on the direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector marked the Nash Sands.

 

The low light was abandoned early this century and the high light was modernised and painted white. In place of the fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed which gives a white and red group flashing.

 

Nash is one of those lighthouses scattered around our coast that has no claim to fame. For over 160 years its light has done its job as a sign to mariners to keep them clear of danger, its sole distinction is the discovery in 1977 of the tuberous thistle (Cirsium Tuberosum), a rare plant, which was found growing around the lighthouse.

Wikipedia

 

The Cathedral-Basilica of Cefalù, (Italian: Duomo di Cefalù) is a Roman Catholic church in Cefalù, Sicily, southern Italy.

 

The cathedral, dating from 1131, was commenced in the Norman style, the island of Sicily having been conquered by the Normans in 1091. According to tradition, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm to land on the city's beach. The fortress-like character of the building, which, seen from a distance, rises as a huge bulk above its medieval town, may in part reflect the vulnerability of the site to attack from the sea. It also made a powerful statement of the Norman presence.

 

Numerous changes were made over succeeding centuries and the edifice was never entirely completed.

El Coliseo de Roma (Colosseum en el latín original; Colosseo en el actual italiano) es un gran anfiteatro de la época del Imperio romano, construido en el siglo I en el centro de la ciudad de Roma. Originalmente era denominado Anfiteatro Flavio (Amphitheatrum Flavium), en honor a la Dinastía Flavia de emperadores que lo construyó, y pasó a ser llamado Colosseum por una gran estatua ubicada junto a él, el Coloso de Nerón, no conservada actualmente. Por sus características arquitectónicas, estado de conservación e historia, el Coliseo es uno de los monumentos más famosos de la antigüedad clásica. Fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1980 por la Unesco. mas info

 

___________________________________________________________________________

The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.

 

Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81–96).[3] The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).

Boat on the River Lyrics

 

Take me back to my boat on the river

I need to go down, I need to come down

Take me back to my boat on the river

And I wont cry out any more

Time stands still as I gaze in her waters

She eases me down, touching me gently

With the waters that flow past my boat on the river

So I dont cry out anymore

 

Oh the river is wide

The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand

And all roads lead to tranquillity base

Where the frown on my face disappears

Take me down to my boat on the river

And I wont cry out anymore

 

Oh the river is deep

The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand

And all roads lead to tranquillity base

Where the frown on my face disappears

Take me down to my boat on the river

I need to go down, with you let me go down

Take me back to my boat on the river

And I wont cry out anymore

And I wont cry out anymore

And I wont cry out anymore

He was standing on the side walk a few feet away from the busy cross section. He stood still with his eyes closed and he would smile at times. I couldn't help but jump to the conclusion that he probably is daydreaming. Maybe he was dreaming of a different life, different place, or different situation. Whatever he was dreaming about he was definitely happy. I could not help but smile when he smiled, his smile was full of joy and happiness. I was truly happy for him that even for a couple of minutes he was able to go into his own world and escape reality.

In every 100 steps ? It is a kind of advance, a course, a ballade. It is, while leaving at home, 100 steps after 100 steps (that is to say in all 2400 step and thus 24 sights) photographs of what was in front of me.

 

So, every day, during 24 days, on Flickr, on the same place and at the same hour, the picture of previous the day is replaced by a new image.

 

To keep the track of the past images, they are placed in a message under the image which changes. It is thus necessary to reserve 24 successive places from the dépos of the first image.

 

This choice of presentation has the effect of showing the messages of the visitors and their comment on the image which was, for them, that of day.

 

...

 

À tous les 100 pas ? C'est une sorte de cheminement, un parcours, une ballade. C'est, en sortant de chez moi, 100 pas après 100 pas (soit en tout 2400 pas) 24 photos de ce qui était devant moi.

 

Au-delà de cette ballade donc, à tous les jours, même heure (14H), et ce pendant 24 jours, j'écrase la photo de la veille, pour la remplacer par une nouvelle de cette série. Aussi, pour garder la trace des images substituées, je les place au fur et à mesure dans un message sous l'image qui change (ceci explique pourquoi j'ai réservé 24 espaces). Notamment, ce choix de présentation a pour effet, comme pour une seule image, de montrer les messages des visiteurs venus voir et commenter l'image qui fut, pour eux, celle du jour.

 

Dire, montrer, faire les choses autrement, être soi ― donc différent ― c'est forcément prendre le risque de ne pas se faire comprendre, n'est-ce pas ?

 

Et à partir du 13 décembre.... à qui le tour ?

This one must be viewed large to appreciate.

 

I found this guy on a petrified log as I was making my way to the Agate House. He was extremely interested in sunning himself, and I was happy enough making portraits of him at 400 millimeters. After about five minutes he got spooked by a bird of prey (golden eagle), and scampered away under another near by log.

 

•These animals are possibly best known for their speed. Like the frilled lizard and basilisk, collared lizards can run on their hind legs for long periods of time. Record speeds have been around 35 mi/h (56 km/h). They look like small dinosaurs when they're running on their hind legs. -Wikipedia

Taro fields of Kauai, the largest in the US. Taro has been a staple for the Hawaiians like potatoes are to us. It’s a starchy plant that the root is used to make poi. I tried it once, I don’t think I need any more. Not that is has a bad taste, actually there isn’t a strong taste, just didn’t care for it.

 

I ignored the no trespassing sign and turned off the highway on to this lane to get the shot. My plan if I got challenged was to say I was just turning around.

 

This was taken just outside the little town of Hanalei .... the PERFECT spot to retire in a tropical environment!!! … just my opinion.

 

PARIS.- La Seine River... Color version ?... B&W ?... I can't decide ...

entre les 2 mon coeur balance ... :)
