It is a gorgeous day here in Nashville, Tenn. mild tempetures, beautiful sunshine. I wanted to stay outside all day in this dreamy weather. I hope you enjoy these beautiful oak leaves!! Love ya all!!
Inside this small building sits Jeff Serusa the photographer, his large wooden made-to-order box camera, and some of the most stunning photographs I have ever seen. He only uses film, he sometimes waits years to nail a shot, and the images he then prints on canvas all look as though they have a dimension and depth that are unparalleled. The red ship photo he hangs outside his door is one such example. If interested, check out his site. He is an amazing photographer.
Philippians 4:8
New International Version
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
From Bologna, Savena district, two red dahlia flowers and a warm wish for a happy Easter to all my Flickr friends!
“Mai abbiamo maltrattato e offeso la nostra casa comune come negli ultimi due secoli. Siamo invece chiamati a diventare gli strumenti di Dio Padre perché il nostro pianeta sia quello che Egli ha sognato nel crearlo e risponda al suo progetto di pace, bellezza e pienezza.“
“Sono lodevoli e a volte ammirevoli gli sforzi di scienziati e tecnici che cercano di risolvere i problemi creati dall’essere umano. Ma osservando il mondo notiamo che questo livello di intervento umano, spesso al servizio della finanza e del consumismo, in realtà fa sì che la terra in cui viviamo diventi meno ricca e bella, sempre più limitata e grigia, mentre contemporaneamente lo sviluppo della tecnologia e delle offerte di consumo continua ad avanzare senza limiti. In questo modo, sembra che ci illudiamo di poter sostituire una bellezza irripetibile e non recuperabile con un’altra creata da noi.“
Dall'enciclica “Laudato si” di Papa Francesco
“Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred years. Yet we are called to be instruments of God our Father, so that our planet might be what he desired when he created it and correspond with his plan for peace, beauty and fullness.”
“We must be grateful for the praiseworthy efforts being made by scientists and engineers dedicated to finding solutions to man-made problems. But a sober look at our world shows that the degree of human intervention, often in the service of business interests and consumerism, is actually making our earth less rich and beautiful, ever more limited and grey, even as technological advances and consumer goods continue to abound limitlessly. We seem to think that we can substitute an irreplaceable and irretrievable beauty with something which we have created ourselves.”
From the Encyclical Letter “Laudato si'” of Pope Francis
Geschichte der Ruhmeshalle Walhalla
Die Walhalla ist wohl das Hauptwerk der Kunstschöpfungen des bayerischen König Ludwig I. Erbaut vom Architekt Leo von Klenze, vom 1830 bis 1842.
Als Napoleon 1807 die Preußen besiegt hatte, fasste der Kronprinz Ludwig von Bayern den Plan, die rühmlich ausgezeichneten Teutschen in einem Ehrentempel des Vaterlandes zu vereinen. Walhalla bedeutet übersetzt Totenhalle. Die Walhalla ist ein offenes Baudenkmal, d.h. daß auch heute noch würdige Personen als Büsten aufgenommen werden können.
Architektur der Walhalla
Der Innenraum ist geprägt von Boden- und Wandflächen aus Marmor, einem reichgegliederten Deckenraum mit Figuren aus der germanischen Mythologie, einem rundum laufenden Fries mit Reliefdarstellungen aus der deutschen Frühgeschichte, den die Dachkonstruktion tragenden Karyatiden und sechs Siegesgöttinnen.

History of the Walhalla Hall of Fame
The Walhalla is probably the main work of art by the Bavarian King Ludwig I. Built by the architect Leo von Klenze, from 1830 to 1842.
When Napoleon had defeated the Prussians in 1807, the Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria came up with the plan to unite the praiseworthy Germans in a temple of honor for the fatherland. Walhalla translates as the hall of the dead. The Walhalla is an open monument, i.e. that even today worthy persons can be recorded as busts.
Architecture of the Walhalla
The interior is characterized by floor and wall surfaces made of marble, a richly structured ceiling with figures from Germanic mythology, a frieze running all around with relief depictions from early German history, the caryatids supporting the roof structure and six goddesses of victory.

Sometimes when I load up a picture to Photoshop I have no idea about the outcome. In this case I wanted to create a lovely picture of the autumn which is coming soon. After some time of trying I finally got this pic which could be taken on a late november day.
For all those who prefer the autumn look here:

White stripes separate the black text. If you learn to read between the lines you'll discover light in the midst of darkness.

I am drawn to the moon as if it has a magnetic force! It glows so beautifully as it rises through the trees. It is magic!! Have a wonderful Saturday!! Hugs!!
Gloria comes from the Latin vocabulary word meaning “glory”. Glory is essentially the prestige, respect, admiration and honor that is given to one who achieves something of importance and praiseworthy. It also connotes a sense of sublime beauty which inspires great wonder or joy (a “glorious” sunset, for instance).
When I was born, my parents told me that they want to name me Victoria but my grandfather( Mom's Dad), told them that he wants Gloria instead because I was born two days before Christmas. It reminded him of the hymn "Gloria in excelsis Deo." Victoria is a calendar name for the month of December which is a beautiful name as well.
This personalized necklace was made by my daughter as one of my gifts for my birthday.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy month of August everyone!💝
Thank you for your visits, kind comments, awards and faves. Always greatly appreciated.

Magnus Larsson is a Technical Art Director from Sweden. Photography has been his passion for the last six years. His work has recently started to focus on landscapes with an emphasis on strong, clean compositions. Last year, he came 2nd in the Swedish edition of Metro Photo Challenge, his work was awarded the people’s choice award for “Imagination”
Story Behind:
I was on my first weekend trip to Hovs Hallar with a buddy, feeling quite excited; I had heard many praiseworthy things about this place like a ton of movies scenes had been shot there because of its scenic beauty. On the news earlier, the weather reports didn’t look that promising, but I felt quite optimistic that it would change. For some reason, I had extremely high expectations of the place. I imagined a beautiful sunset would greet me when I get there, and the atmosphere would somehow literally capture the light so that I could shoot for a long time. It was going to be perfect, I thought.
It was still drizzling when we reached the parking lot, everyone was leaving the place, but I wasn’t ready to give up my hope just yet. So we decided to head up to the beach. Ten minutes later, I was proved right. The rain had stopped, the only problem now was that the sky was still overcast.

"To have a sister is one of the greatest gifts for a boy. And for sure I am gifted to have you, Anitha, as my sister...."
Your b'day is the right time to look back upon those stages of our life, which make us cherish each other forever.
The day I saw you as a twiddling baby in the arms of mom and dad - you were tender, cute, lovable, and you made me very happy.
I still remember my first word for you - 'suitcase'. :)
As you grew up, you were sharp, you were brilliant, getting ranks and medals! You were praiseworthy in everything you did, and you made me proud. I am pretty sure your medals encouraged my artistic skills and led me to this level.
As you became teenager, you were the dove of peace between mom and me, you were the resolver of conflicts, you were my one and only support and you made me your friend.
When you entered your 20's you were mature, you were sensible, you were a caretaker, and made me "a responsible brother", a complete man!
Having you as my sister is the greatest and most loveliest gift that God has bestowed upon me.
May many joys surround you and may happiness stay in your heart, for always. And these wishes come to you genuinely from me,
your anna!
Such a very long way we have come
to the last segment of light we succumb
native to season, into this loop of de-stress
trance uplifts under shelter we convalesce
nature the guardian of veracious kaleidoscopic love
voices call like angels into the night thereof
their veneration is the food, the air, the heart and soul
our fire, our music, our dance, our declaration to extol
the vocals ring around the Oak and enrapture all
we're in the zone of praiseworthy trance to enthrall
letting go of today our spirit is free to embrace tomorrow
from this tori-hada-twilight hermetic hearts borrow
music and illumination of the senses, a gravure imprint
upon our mind and reflecting in the eyes, a most beautiful glint!

We're all such good people when distant from ourselves
in flight, in fright at the very sight of ourselves in the global fight
to appease the forms we fill-in the slavery of common sense coming to light
now we take a look around from caustic dreams sunrising themselves
to be...to be still within a cavernous emotional front-ground
with our backs against the empty wall of silence
the background of existence is one of a deeper ambivalence
that of staying down when our world is up in the air, unbound
crazy is the learning curve that needs accompaniment
that exodus of feeling when home comforts emptiness
what togetherness supplies when the heart transmits allusiveness,
when it beats loud and clear it's over and out, emigrating a bestowment
the promise of never being hurt (again) heaves the essence of living
we're all deserving of such a resolution, that which is adept,
yet none should be the recipent of one poorly kept-
by another's careless windswept drifts of misgiving
sometimes crying is apt for the shame of difficulty
but pain comes with the guarantee of a distant sunrise
just like you or me, we're the emphatic breath of hope in disguise
infrequently recognised as the gift of life within individual personality
morbidity may be a weightless apathy toward the groundless empathy
for this we must fly the course headstrong into it's antitrade
a voyage of discovery within us all tends to the inner crusade
for the gliding inapthy has the air of certitude so praiseworthy.

marriage is uniting two different characters ...
although sometimes it hurts ..
but it's happy
______________________rant73 June 27,2019

On MARRIAGE
Then Almitra spoke again and said, And
what of Marriage, master?
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you
shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white
wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the
silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each
other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain
your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.
________________________________. By Kahlil Gibran

Love is ...
Feelings that must be present for each human being,
it is like a drop of dew coming down from the sky, clean and holy.
Only the land is the one who accepts it ...
If he falls into a barren land, grow because dew is lawlessness, lying, deceitful, stepped up and so on.
But if he falls to fertile land, there will grow purity of heart, sincerity, faithful high manners and other praiseworthy behaviors .
......................................................................... HAMKA
Love is not teaching us is weak, but it generates strength. Love is not teaching us to humiliate ourselves, but to breathe pride. Love is not discouraging, but it encourages -
........................................................................Hamka
Love never asked, he always gave, love brought suffering, but never vengeful, never took revenge. Where there is love there is life; when hatred leads to destruction.

Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.

"Thou shallst not have telephone wire lines in your best photographs! Too distractive are they." by Anonymous (a friend of "Yoda" Lucas, George's wise creation).
To Anonymous, I must apologize, for while hunting for foto opportunities of "interestingness", I was stunned by these three trees against this "soon after sunrise" sky. Quickly stopping car, I grabbed my weapon, and exited onto firm Louisiana prairie land to take fotos and also watch for any type activity in the surrounding flooded crawfish/rice fields. During such licensed hunting seasons, be sure to wear distinctive bright clothing and no antlers or feathers, for gun totting trophy hunters just might suspect you would fit well on a trophy wall after taxidermist's stuffing. BEST NOT TO GO OUT THAT WAY!

The Eva van Hoogeveen almshouse has the entrance at the Doelensteeg. Eva van Hoogeveen came from a wealthy family. She was unmarried, daughter of Albert (Aelbrecht), Heere van Hoogeveen and a very chaste and praiseworthy virgin. In 1650, she testified that she wanted to use her money to buy Houses in honor of God for Chaste Virgins and Honorable Widows. After her death, in 1652, the executors (her brother and a cousin) bought a number of building plots to build this almshouse.
The houses are currently occupied by one-person households. Given the historical background of the almshouse, the houses are preferably rented to single middle-aged ladies.
The almshouse is a national monument

Sufism is a mystic tradition within Islam which encompasses a diverse range of beliefs and practices dedicated to divine love and the cultivation of the heart.
Sufism has been defined as a type of knowledge by the great Sufi masters. Shaykh Ahmad Zarruq, a 15th century Sufi who wrote The Principles of Sufism, defined Sufism as "a science whose objective is the reparation of the heart and turning it away from all else but God." Ibn 'Ajiba, one of the best known Sufi masters defined Sufism as "a science through which one can know how to travel into the presence of the Divine, purify one’s inward from filth and beautify it with a variety of praiseworthy traits."
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. – Philippians 4:8
