During my recent stay in Paris, my Dad and I took a trip around a large and very ornate cemetary.
The French certainly seem to spare no expense or effort in honouring their loved ones, who have been taken from them.
There were acres upon acres of tombs, statues and headstones, most of which were lavishly decorated with ornate stone carvings, stained glass windows and decorative ironwork. It was a sight like no other I've seen before and thoroughly more heartwarming than any English cemetary I've visited.
This was one of my favourites that we saw... there were many, many more that we didn't have time to appreciate.
I like the combination of the right colour in the glass and the decorative curls of iron.
Most of these tombs were about the size of two telephone boxes, stood back to back, narrow and upright, as if made to stand in. Some of the biggest memorials were perhaps twenty feet high.
Mozart constitue une source d’inspiration aussi irrésistible qu’inépuisable pour bien des compositeurs (Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski, Richard Strauss, Reynaldo Hahn et Igor Stravinski). Les artistes de la résidence Mozart interprètent des airs et ensembles de ces compositeurs tentés par le néoclassicisme.

Me enamoró tu mirada angelical y me perdí entre tu sonrisa cuasi perfecta. Me hipnotizó ese “cuasi” por su belleza y recorrí los rincones de tus palabras. Llegué al paraíso de tu pecho y, entre cicatrices de guerra, me encontré con tu ombligo, donde se mece plácidamente tu alegría. Robé una porción de ella y me escapé en dirección a tu espalda. Conduje mis ojos por la autopista de tu cintura y pagué con gusto el peaje de tu nuca con un beso apasionado. Fotografié las montañas de tus brazos, cuyos caminos poco transitados había tomado un color azul verdoso. Descansé sobre la yema de tus dedos, que acariciaban gratamente mi cuerpo imperfecto. Al amanecer, tus pupilas alumbraron el reino de tus rodillas y me dispuse a seguir su luz. Anduve por los senderos que marcaban tus mulsos bien diferenciados y sobrevolé las robustas praderas que se alzan sobre tus piernas. El tímido halo de tu respiración meció mis pensamientos, que brincaban alegremente sobre tu alma aniñada y sin prejuicios. Cuan perfecto fue el paraje del que mis insignificantes ojos quedaron prendados que decidí alojarme en él para toda la eternidad. Y allí sigo, tomando café en el último poro de tu piel y contemplando la grandiosidad de tu mirada, sentada sobre tus párpados.

The memorial commemorates the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor at the beginning of the Spanish American War, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Waking Up:
Remember what you were
"The Lord ’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous." Proverbs 3:33 (NIV)
There are some bad boys out there who have forgotten about their quadruple bypass operation and are eating fat-fried food again. There are some bad girls who have forgotten about their emphysema and have started smoking again. There are some reckless diabetics who are careless with their insulin injections. Such people apparently have lost their fear of--and respect for--their disease.
A real danger for people who have been Christians for a while is that they grow sleepy and careless in their security. They forget who they were and where they came from. They have lost their shock and awe at the fearful wrath of God on all evil. “The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked” (Proverbs 3:33).
We all need to remember the terrible punishment that our Savior Jesus Christ absorbed for our sake on the cross. We all need to re-appreciate how expensive the forgiveness is that he bought for us there. We all need to respect and fear our enemy from hell. We all need to reaffirm our gratitude for Word and sacrament that bond us to Christ now and forever. Lord, wake us.
God bless
Here's another shot from the junkyard I went to with some work buddies last fall. It's an old GMC Tracker, and I don't think I've seen one of these on the road in more than ten years!
Work was pretty busy today, but it's cool that people are still coming to the zoo in large numbers in October. It's probably got something to do with the fact that it was "Feels like 31 [degrees]" yesterday, which I've never felt in October before!
If only global warming was limited to this kind of comfortable effect...

Another interesting Bluebird bus is Marshall bodied Dart R1BLU, which I seem to remember isn't the first in the fleet to wear this mark. This was new to the much missed Mayne fleet in 1997 as R24YNC and after a brief spell as Stagecoach 32938 was sold to a dealer a snapped up by Bluebird.

"Time is passing, yet for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."

The Greater Cincinnati Foundation lost a dear friend on September 10, 2014 - William A. Friedlander. We remember Bill's many contributions to the Foundation and our Greater Cincinnati community.
As our nation and the world remember the events of 9/11, please take a moment to honor those lost and those left behind.

How does one remember certain places from times past? Some do and some don't.
Snapshots in boxes or sealed in albums hold the memories of many. Fleeting memories that wonder through the mind's gallery of yesteryear entertain many when taking the trip down memory lane.
My memories are kept through various means, albums, random thoughts and, of course, sketches. Sharing these times from another era is one method that helps me capture time for a moment.
Hopefully, these works will inspire those who share similar memories to enjoy a forgotten moment or two. Robert
Memorial plaque above the groundsman's store at Swallow Lane, home to Golcar Cricket Club, who in 2021 are celebrating their 150th anniversary.
Captured before a 95-run victory over Mirfield-based Huddersfield League Premiership rivals Moorlands.
Garnering the maximum six points, Golcar leapfrogged Moorlands into third place and now trail leaders Thongsbridge by six.
James Howson (58) and Steve Whitwam (33) put on almost a hundred for the first wicket after Golcar elected to bat. After they'd departed, the run rate slowed and wickets began to tumble regularly. 128-5 at halfway. Dan Woodhead (35) and Craig Ruscoe (23) helped the hosts to 215. Nadim Hussain took 4-25, James Stansfield 3-45.
The Moorlands reply never got going. It could've been worse. Golcar (fingers doubtless numb on a chilly, breezy South Pennine afternoon) dropped three catches with the opposition flailing at 62-7. The eighth-wicket pair, captain Eddie Walmsley (27) and Arslaan Razzaq (23), ensured Moorlands avoided humiliation. Whitwam (3-36) and Will Hinchliffe (3-37) shared the bulk of the wickets.
