Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house, about 8 miles north-west of Warwick. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland.
In 1438 John Brome, Under-Treasurer of England, purchased the manor, which passed to his son, Nicholas Brome, who rebuilt the nearby parish church dedicated to St Michael, as a penance for having murdered the parish priest, a crime reputed to have been committed inside the house. The house from this period was equipped with gun-ports, and possibly a drawbridge over the moat. When Nicholas Brome died in 1517, the house passed to his daughter, who in 1500 had married Sir Edward Ferrers, Sheriff of Warwickshire.
Henry Ferrers (1549–1633), "The Antiquary", who is believed to have built the great hall, made many additions to Baddesley Clinton, including starting the tradition of installing stained glass to represent the family's coat of arms. Such glass survives in many rooms. In the 18th century the great hall was rebuilt in brick and the east range was extended, though with great care to continue the style of the original building.
Portrait of the elderly priest of the Temple of Thunder (Benin)
The Thunder Temple is a sacred place devoted to Hevioso, the powerful god of thunder, justice, and fertility in Vodun tradition.
Known as the bringer of storms and balance, Hevioso's might is said to strike like lightning, both metaphorically and literally.
In this spiritual practice, those struck by lightning are considered to have been directly touched by the god. Some believe it is a sign of punishment, while others see it as a divine calling.
The Thunder Temple is not just a place of worship; it’s a gateway to understanding the Vodun belief system, where nature’s fury is seen as sacred and life is deeply intertwined with the elements.

Portrait of a Voodoo priest inside a temple (Benin).
Benin is the birthplace of Voodoo, a deeply spiritual and complex belief system that connects people with the divine, nature, and their ancestors. Voodoo is a way of life, blending rituals, music, and dance to honor spirits.
At the heart of Voodoo is Mawu-Lisa, the supreme deity, representing the balance between feminine and masculine energies. Below Mawu a pantheon of spirits or deities, known as Vodun, each governing different aspects of life such as fertility, the sea, healing, and justice.
Voodoo is more than a religion, it is a philosophy, a healing practice, and a way of understanding the universe. It guides daily life, resolving conflicts, ensuring good health, and bringing harmony to communities. Today, Voodoo remains a powerful force in Benin, shaping identity and culture while coexisting with other belief systems.

Majuli is the world's biggest riverine island and a principal place of pilgrimage for the Vaishnavites of Assam since the Ahom days. There are several Satras of Vaishnava religious creed. Of these holy seats, Auniati, Daksinpath, Garamur and Kamlabari are the four most prominent. What is of special importance is its satra establishment, consisting of separate structures, built for different purposes.
Processed this with a custom preset I titled Roman Nose. I have a normal version, and a light version. It's been fun to develop this and I like the results it gives.
等持院茶室「清漣亭」
Toji-in was founded in 1341 by Lord Ashikaga as a family temple, under supervision of priest Soseki Muso who was then one of the most famous landscape gardener (and who later founded Tenryu-ji). The garden of Toji-in is one of the few surviving gardens designed by Soseki.
The main garden is divided in two parts. The western one is closest to the main hall and organized around the winding pond. slightly above the garden is a well known tea house 'Seiren-tei'. The second, eastern part of the garden has taller trees and is thus much darker. It is a place of moss and maple trees. South of the main hall is another smaller garden, of the "dry landscape" type (karesansui).
Toji-in is located right south of the Ritsumeikan University which is one of the major campus in Kyoto.
During the name revision in 1885, the name of this street was determined to be Prästgatan, but as early as 1586 the street was referred to as Prästegathen after the residences that were there for the city's chaplains. The four small houses in which the chaplains lived were demolished in 1708. Then the still remaining priest's residence was built. In the 1730s, the southern part of the street was called Stenbergs gränd after the German nobleman and court stable master Antonius von Steinberg (died 1675). He owned the entire block of Venus adjacent to the south end of the alley. From the middle of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century, the same section is called Tyska Prästgatan, after the priests of the German Church, and during the same time the northern part was called Svenska Prästgatan, after the priests of the Great Church. The short part north of Storkyrkobrinken was originally called Helvetiegränden and that name came from an area called Helvetet. In 1451, an empty belæghin is mentioned in Helvite. There are different opinions about why the area was called that, possibly because the executioner lived there.
Looks like some kids had a nice wading pool along the the W shore of Idaho's Priest Lake. I suspect their parents had to help with some of those larger boulders. Ahhh, sweet summer memories.

You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests.[a] Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. As the Scriptures say,
“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,
chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”
[1 Peter 2:4-6 NLT]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
Holy moly! A great pic of a classic dealership scene. All these cars in front were bought by a driving school. As Keicar says this photo was probably taken in May 1982, judging by the Metro registrations.
