The chapel of Queen Mary's heart near Transylvania's Bran Castle.
Little known, but invaluable in beauty, is the Church of the Heart of Queen Mary of Bran
hides an extremely beautiful story about Queen Mary.
A faithful replica of the Stella Maris church from the town of Walsik, which was granted by Romania after World War II in Bulgaria, was built in Byzantine style at the request of Princess Eleana in memory of her mother, Queen.
History says that one of Queen Mary's greatest pleasures was spending time in Balchik's chapel and her wish was to bury her heart there after she died. Because this was no longer possible, the princess demanded the construction of a chapel very close to Bran Castle. The box containing the queen's heart was temporarily deposited in the wooden church of Bran Castle and after a year was transferred to a crypt dug into the rock of Bran Maggiore, awaiting the completion of the church.
In 1947, however, it was the abolition of the monarchy in Romania by the communist regime, so although the chapel was completed in time, it was no longer sanctified and Queen Maria's heart remained hidden in the rock for 27 years! It was not until 1968 that the director of the Bran Museum, together with others, opened the crypt and the sarcophagus and found the golden box containing the queen's heart. Inside the gold box was another silver box wrapped in English and Romanian flags, as well as platinum and gemstones. Since then, Queen Maria's heart is in the National Museum of Romanian History
Παρεκκλήσι η καρδία της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας κοντά στο κάστρο Μπράν της Τρανσυλβανιας.
Λίγο γνωστό, αλλά με ανεκτίμητη ομορφιά, η Εκκλησία της Καρδιάς της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας του Bran
αποκρύπτει μια εξαιρετικά όμορφη ιστορία για τη Βασίλισσα Μαρία.
Πιστό αντίγραφο της εκκλησίας Stella Maris από την πόλη Βάλτσικ , που παραχωρήθηκε από τη Ρουμανία μετά τον Δεύτερο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο της Βουλγαρίας, χτίστηκε σε βυζαντινό ύφος, κατόπιν αιτήματος της πριγκίπισσας Eλεάνας, στη μνήμη της μητέρας της ,Βασίλισσας Μαίρη.
Η ιστορία λέει ότι μία από τις μεγαλύτερες απολαύσεις της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας ήταν να περάσει ο χρόνος στο παρεκκλήσι του Bάλτσικ και η επιθυμία της ήταν να θάψει την καρδιά της εκεί μετά που πέθανε. Επειδή αυτό δεν ήταν πλέον δυνατό, η πριγκίπισσα απαίτησε την κατασκευή ενός παρεκκλησίου πολύ κοντά στο Κάστρο του Μπράν. Το κουτί που περιείχε την καρδιά της βασίλισσας ήταν προσωρινά κατατεθειμένο στην ξύλινη εκκλησία του Κάστρου Bran και μετά από ένα χρόνο μεταφέρθηκε σε μια κρύπτη που έσκαψε στο βράχο του Bran Maggiore, περιμένοντας την ολοκλήρωση της εκκλησίας.
Το 1947, ωστόσο, αποτελούσε την κατάργηση της μοναρχίας στη Ρουμανία από το κομμουνιστικό καθεστώς, οπότε αν και το παρεκκλήσι ολοκληρώθηκε εγκαίρως, δεν ήταν πλέον αγιασμένο και η καρδιά της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας παρέμεινε κρυμμένη στο βράχο για 27 χρόνια! Μόνο το 1968 ο διευθυντής του Μουσείου Μπραν μαζί με άλλους άνοιξαν την κρύπτη και τη σαρκοφάγο και βρήκαν το χρυσό κουτί που περιείχε την καρδιά της βασίλισσας. Στο εσωτερικό του χρυσού κιβωτίου υπήρχε ένα άλλο κιβώτιο από ασήμι τυλιγμένο σε σημαίες της Αγγλίας και της Ρουμανίας, καθώς πλατίνα και πολύτιμοι λίθοι. Έκτοτε, η καρδιά της Βασίλισσας Μαρίας βρίσκεται στο Μουσείο Εθνικής Ιστορίας της Ρουμανίας.

Grandpops Woodlice, also known as Philip Male, wrote that he would prefer to see one yellow bead. (See his comments on the previous macro, if curious.) I'm not certain if that meant one yellow bead without the tiny 18mm glass container or cork top. Perhaps he is quite a minimalist, although perhaps not. That is a large bear he posted today.
Fiddled with this a tad in an old version of Photoshop.

I caught sight of this little temple on our way back from Goa to Pune in August last year.It looked very picturesque nestling there against the lush greenery and I requested Sanjay to stop so that I could take a photo.Some men loitering by the roadside told me that it was Bhumata temple or a temple dedicated to Mother Earth.They also offered to take us down to it but we had a 10 hour road journey ahead of us and I had to be content with this long shot.
Except it's not. Just another shot of the old power plant that's been turned into a little village inside the city of Austin. As you can tell, I'm really taken by it. If I still lived in Austin, I would want to live here.
The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austin's growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a Turbine Generator Building, a Water Intake Structure and an Oil Heating Building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austin’s municipal utilities.[2]
Seaholm served as Austin’s sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the city's reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.[3]
Redevelopment[edit]
The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin city council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC" which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site.[4] A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.[5]
Work began on the plant's redevelopment in mid-2013.[6] The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015.[7] A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015. As of 2018, the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.[8]

Long time contacts on Flickr have repeatedly asked to see a photo of our place on Keefer Lake - turning the camera around as it were given they have seen so many of my photos facing the other way. Here is the front yard of our 'Ithaka' as we have called our 'Quinta.' If you know Homer's 'The Odyssey' you will understand the name. That's our little boathouse on the lower right (change room below and small guest room above) with our A-frame home hidden by the white pines in the background.
A view in winter and a drone aerial photo taken in Autumn previously posted are in the first comment box.

By request. They dress the kids up in the mutton busting event like bull riders with helmets and vests now so I pulled this one out of the archives. A ewe jumped over me once in the arena while I was bent down taking pictures so I can attest to their capabilities. Didn't realize I would become the subject of a crowd roaring with laughter that day. The announcer stills brings it up to this day. It has been raining steady today, I hope it moves towards Nova Scotia and New Brunswick where the wildfires are. Canon 40D
I had a lot of photography planned for the weekend, I was going to visit a few places in Wales, and then a few in Dorset. But on Wednesday I was hit with a rather nasty bout of the lurgy and didn't have the energy to do anything. So I decided to have a few days rest and not venture out with the camera.
On my way home from Dorset yesterday I stopped at Portland hoping for a decent sunset. it was extremely windy and the sunset was pretty decent so I managed to get a few photos from the visit.
My first shot is of Pulpit Rock, an old favourite, as it's such fun watching the waves crash up here. We couldn't get down to the bottom level last night as we'd have gotten soaked, and there were people silly enough to be out on the rock when some huge waves were crashing over, so we sat higher up and tried our best to get a decent shot.

Yesterday I had a day on the Somerset Coast with Louis Goldman, on the way, we stopped off at Cheddar Gorge for a quick visit.
It's such a stunning view up here, my previous visit was marred by low cloud and fog so I didn't really get a great shot. This time though, we had some decent cloud and after a short while, we managed to get some lovely side light on the gorge.
I still want to get up here for sunset one evening, but I think I'll have to wait until later in the year as the sun is setting too far to the south at the moment.

A dear friend is travelling from New Zealand, where he left his sailboat, to Chicago to see his wife. It is a long flight with lay overs so he might get to see this before he sees his wife. Surprisingly, my friend, the world famous sailor, Webb Chiles, admired lilies floating in the water of the Okavango Delta. I guess a sailor never tires of the wonderful world of water.
Here is a link to his superb journal. It is a journal of a man who lives for sailing on the high seas and has circumnavigated the world, alone, numerous times.

I must say that I too love water lilies. I always associated them with one of my favorite parts of the world, Southeast Asia. However, now I will picture them when I hear or see Botswana mentioned!

This shows how I attached Captain Americas shield to his back. I used a lego white rubber band. It slides through the handle and goes over the arms.

Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral
1085 De la Cathedrale Street, Montreal
The Cathedral is the third largest church in Quebec and is Catholic denomination. It was built to replace the former St. Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. Work began in 1875 it was completed in 1894 and consecrated as St. James Cathedral being the patron of the parish that it served.
However in 1955 at the request of Cardinal Paul-Emile Leger it was rededicated by Pope Benedict XV to Mary, Queen of the world. There have been a number of restoration works. In 2003 the enclosed porch and esplanade were restored. Another restoration in 2005 was the work done to Bishop Ignace Bourget’s statue on the outside of the building.
The Bishop’s Mortuary was completed in 1935, this was dedicated to Bishop Bourget where lays his tomb. The walls and floors are made from Italian marble.
The Chapel of the Assumption has a beautiful wood carved altar with gold leaf decoration. There is a wonderful painting of Our Lady painted in the 17th cent by a Spanish monk (unknown). The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.
The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.
The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.
There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.
A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.

Brazil is breathtakingly beautiful and offers the photographer a multitude of photographic opportunities both in the South and North ! If you would like further details please contact us as soon as possible as September is quickly approaching !!
Wishing you a great rest of your day and a very blessed one too !
This Photo was the result of a Bucket List Item requested by the Mrs., so it went right to the top of my to-do calendar; and three years later here we are ;-)
We flew into Fairbanks and spent three icy-cold nights looking for the Northern Lights with the “Aurora Chasers,” a Husband and Wife team (located in Fairbanks) dedicated to helping find and photograph those Beautiful Lights in the Alaska Night sky. It was definitely worth the wearing of two pair of long-johns and two coats and still freezing my tail off.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are beautiful dancing ribbons of light that have captivated people for millennia. But for all its beauty, this spectacular light show is a rather violent event.
The northern lights are created when energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph (72 million kph), but our planet's magnetic field protects us from the onslaught.
As Earth's magnetic field redirects the particles toward the poles — there are southern lights, too — the dramatic process transforms into a cinematic atmospheric phenomenon that dazzles and fascinates scientists and skywatchers alike.
