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.

  

A special request from two amazing people. Two amazing people I have cherished having as friends for about a decade. I was honoured to do a photo of them.

Sabian and Moon, Wishing you both many more years together as a couple and thank you for being amazing friends.

Below is a special song for them

 

Thanks to Synnergy for such amazing backgrounds you can adjust.

 

🎼: Ain't No Mountain High Enough ~ Martin Gaye & Tammi Terrill ~

 

💜╰┈➤: Gwyn's Passions

 

Listen, baby, ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me, no matter where you are

No matter how far, don't worry, baby

Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry

 

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby

 

Remember the day I set you free

I told you, you could always count on me, girl

And from that day on I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me some way, some how

 

'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you, baby

 

Oh no darling, no wind, no rain

Or winters cold can stop me baby

No, no baby, 'cause you are my love

If you ever in trouble, I'll be there on the double

Just send for me, oh baby

 

My love is alive, way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can

Thank you so much for the support and kindness....it's greatly appreciated!! Have a great rest of the week! 😊

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.

COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 is attacking all over the world. Japan is no exception, and everyday is becoming more difficult. As a photographer, I also thought about life and postponed the exhibition according to the government's request. The Japanese government does not support artists. So I decided to hold an online photo exhibition. This is free to watch.

 

The photo exhibition should be in the dark in the room at night, preferably with the playlist. Look at the brightness of mobile terminals at 1/3.

  

Thank you for your support. Thanks to everyone, we had more access than in Japan. Thank you. Last but not least, I would be happy if you could share the URL of the photo exhibition on your SNS. Thank you!

Apologies for the absence on here... I have just had a manic few weeks with work and family life and photography trips and something just had to give... This is the first in a series of Puffin shots from a trip to the Isle of May... I never feel I have much time there so this time I decided on just going to two locations on the Island and working each one for an hour... mainly shooting the Puffins! I tried for ages to get the perfect landings shot... one on its own landing but I never quite got what I wanted of a single backlit bird landing... but other shots like this more than make up for it! The 2.5hrs on the island passed as it always does in a flash!

A requested group photo of Anthony and Daniel (the puddle dancer) with Lucy.

I hope you two get to see this photo somehow.

The comfort that Anthony got from fussing Lucy was clear (even if he did get covered in hairs) and Lucy's smile says it all.

Please refrain from posting shots, requests and Flickriver shots in my photo stream, thank you.

One of the requests I get from time to time is to make a triptych of house numbers I have found on my many urban walks. They are usually a combo of numbers to celebrate a special date like a wedding. Initially, I thought it would be easy to make a portfolio of numbers because I only needed to go up to 31. The triptych for today would read 26 3 22. However, once I began paying attention to house numbers, I realized there were very few house/building numbers under 100! Charlottetown, PEI still has several homes in their downtown core with the low house numbers and their numbers often have that Maritime charisma. Then there is the old city of Quebec that has several house numbers with 1/2. I posted this one for the theme “Numbers” to make you Smile on Saturday!

On Wednesday evenings I often get together with a friend with the intention of learning to sing and play guitars together.

He's on holiday this week and I'm not envious at all ... not one single bit .... well maybe just a little bit.

Well anyway, Tony, if you're reading this, which you almost certainly won't be because you're probably eating donuts and having way too much fun, but if by chance you are then practise, practise, PRACTISE !!!

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

These guys have got to be one of the most beautiful visitors to our shores.

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.

 

Boss

This guy has been hanging around and he seems like a bit of an outcast as he is often alone and doesn't really have a mob to call his own.

 

He has let me get close to him to take photos even though I don't want to get too close just in case he decides he doesn't want to be friends.

 

Anyway the other day he did deiced to take back my friend request and as I went to take a photo he came at me.

 

I basically shit myself and ran back into the safety of the cat yard. I can take a hint.

A long time Flickr friend asked for more postings of Tess and Nina - anything for a friend :)

 

These were taken on an afternoon walk when the ambient temperature, the humidity and the appearance of the always magical winter sun created a wonderful blue ice fog, a relatively rare occurrence that is very difficult to capture with a camera. Although these photos are no substitute for actually being there and experiencing this phenomenon ... at least they satisfy the request to see more of Tess and Nina. Cheers!

📢 DOUBLE CLICK REQUEST📢

This photo is very large, so ...one click in pic ... second click and wait 2 second for have an CLEAR immage (be patient) ... you can see the amazing details.

An UFO-like water blob is hovering above the surface of a wavy landscape of unknown constitution.

Will it manage a safe landing?

Or will it be absorbed in one gulp by this strange and lively floor?

Nothing is certain...
