In the 14th century the Crucifixion had been painted on one of the two wood surfaces of the sacred Byzantine icon that was kept for many centuries within the Assumption (aka Dormition of Virgin Mary) Old Cathedral in Kalampaka, Greece. The Assumption was painted later, in 1527, on the icon's other wood surface by the famous Cretan artist Theophanēs Strelitzas Bathas. The icon had been stolen and then its two sides were severed by illicit dealers in two separate icons; in 1992 both sides were retrieved. They have ever since remained safely kept in Meteora, but local tradition has it that the Crucifixion is always brought back to the Assumption Old Cathedral in Kalampaka for worshipping during the Third Sunday of Lent (Veneration of the Holy Cross).
The icon measures 82 × 60 cm. There is an inscription written with imperial red ink on the icon's lower part, stating it was donated by Ioannis Katakouzēnos, his wife Theodōra and their children (Δέησις τοῦ δούλου τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰωάννου τοῦ Κατακουζηνοῦ καὶ Θεοδώρας τῆς Κατακουζηνῆς καὶ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν).
The shot of the sacred icon pictorially accompanies the Apolytikion sung on the Third Sunday of Lent (on March 19 for 2023): ❝︎Lord, save Your people and bless Your inheritance, granting our rulers to prevail over adversaries, and protecting Your commonwealth by Your Cross.❞︎

Fyero likes to try and wander further than her boundaries when we go outside, but luckily for me, I generally have the kitty retrieval crew nearby who are happy to go and escort her back to her designated 'range' zone.
Kitty is never impressed but she goes along with it, just to keep away from Sock.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I woke up early this morning and to my surprise, it had snowed through the night. I had been waiting for the snow to "purify" this tree. No amazing colors in the sky, but the tree handled it's own just fine.

In preparation for the retrieval of the sample return capsule from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, recovery teams tour the projected landing ellipse in the Utah desert on July 17, 2023. The sample, collected from the asteroid Bennu in October 2020 by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, will return to Earth on September 24, 2023. The rocks and dust collected from the asteroid will offer scientists a window into the time when the Sun and planets were forming about 4.5 billion years ago.
The team has rehearsed portions of the recovery operation many times this year, but this was the most realistic rehearsal yet. See highlights from the rehearsal on the OSIRIS-REx blog.

Marsaxlokk is a traditional fishing village located in the south-eastern part of Malta, with a population of 3,499 people (March 2013).The village’s name comes from marsa, which means "port" and xlokk, which is the local name for south east. The word is related to the name for the dry sirocco wind that blows from the Sahara, comparable to the equivalent Catalan word, "xaloc". The village is known for the Marsaxlokk Market, a large market which takes place around the whole village on Sundays and tourist market all days during the week. The inhabitants of the village are called the Xlukkajr

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and exceeded the Air Corps' expectations. Although Boeing lost the contract because the prototype crashed, the Air Corps was so impressed with Boeing's design that they ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation. From its introduction in 1938, the B-17 Flying Fortress evolved through numerous design advances.
The B-17 was primarily employed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. The United States Eighth Air Force, based at many airfields in southern England, and the Fifteenth Air Force, based in Italy, complemented the RAF Bomber Command's nighttime area bombing in the Combined Bomber Offensive to help secure air superiority over the cities, factories and battlefields of Western Europe in preparation for the invasion of France in 1944. The B-17 also participated to a lesser extent in the War in the Pacific, early in World War II, where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields.
From its pre-war inception, the USAAC (later USAAF) touted the aircraft as a strategic weapon; it was a potent, high-flying, long-range bomber that was able to defend itself, and to return home despite extensive battle damage. Its reputation quickly took on mythic proportions, and widely circulated stories and photos of notable numbers and examples of B-17s surviving battle damage increased its iconic status. With a service ceiling greater than any of its Allied contemporaries, the B-17 established itself as an effective weapons system, dropping more bombs than any other U.S. aircraft in World War II. Of the 1.5 million metric tons of bombs dropped on Germany and its occupied territories by U.S. aircraft, 640,000 tons were dropped from B-17s.

The harbor mouth faces north east and is bounded to the north by Saint Elmo Point and further sheltered by an isolated breakwater and is bounded to the south by Ricasoli Point. Its north west shore is formed by the Sciberras peninsula, which is largely covered by the city of Valletta and its suburb Floriana. This peninsula also divides Grand Harbor from a second parallel natural harbor, Marsamxett Harbor. The main waterway of Grand Harbor continues inland almost to Marsa. The south eastern shore of the harbour is formed by a number of inlets and headlands, principally Rinella Creek, Kalkara Creek, Dockyard Creek, and French Creek, which are covered by Kalkara and the Three Cities: Cospicua, Vittoriosa, and Senglea. The harbor has been described as Malta's greatest geographic asset.
With its partner harbor of Marsamxett, Grand Harbor lies at the centre of gently rising ground. Development has grown up all around the twin harbors and up the slopes so that the whole bowl is effectively one large conurbation. Much of Malta's population lives within a three kilometer radius of Floriana. This is now one of the most densely populated areas in Europe. The harbours and the surrounding areas make up Malta's Northern and Southern Harbor Districts. Together, these districts contain 27 of 68 local councils. They have a population of 213,722 which make up over 47% of the total population of the Maltese islands.
This image was a bit of an experiment. I added Aurora HDR 2018 to my set of software tools seven months ago, but I haven’t used it much. While I often bracket, PENTAX K-1 RAW files are so malleable I can normally get the look I’m after from a single frame. However, this was a shot needed more than one shot and the full HDR treatment. This image of Saint Paul’s Cathedral was taken from a spot under Blackfriars Bridge. Seven exposures from around -6.5EV to +4.5EV were used to feed Aurora HDR 2018 the data it needed for this image. Taken using my PENTAX K-1 using a PENTAX 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom with each frame developed from RAW using DxO PhotoLab. All other edits performed using Affinity Photo.

The wetland rookeries are slowly winding down a bit, though many of the youngsters are still hanging around, waiting for a free handout by the parents. Gone are the days of the incessant stick retrieval flights back and forth from the nest to the trees and so forth. Yes, it was a good year of nesting activity, especially for the wood storks.
This great egret is so beautiful as it dutifully flies off in search of the perfect branch, twig, or stick to please its mate and carefully place in the nest. Birds this time of year are quite territorial with each other, which is only expected, since they live so close to each other on the islands of trees in the natural rookery. Some actions are not fun to watch ... I, like many others, prefer to call my attention to the nicer side of the breeding season.... flights, nest building, mating, and special moments shared between the mated pairs. :-)
I love the way that the light is reflecting upon the underside of its extended wings.
Thanks for stopping by to view. A new blog will post tonight, so if you haven't gotten a chance to check out the iguana, starlings, and eagles, be sure to do so by clicking the link at: www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com

St. Julian's (Maltese: San Ġiljan) is a town in Malta situated along the coast, north of the country's capital, Valletta. It is known for tourism-oriented businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and nightclubs which are centred mainly in an area known as Paceville.
The town is subdivided into informal districts which are Paceville, Ta' Ġiorni, Tal-Għoqod, St Andrew's, as well as the regions surrounding St George's Bay, Spinola Bay, Balluta Bay, and Il-Qaliet cliffs.
St Julian's is a popular town, usually flowing with tourists, especially during the summer months. It is also a well-sought after destination by the Maltese.
The population of Saint Julian's is 10,261 people.
The town has only one skyscraper, the 98m tall Portomaso Tower.
The town is named after its patron saint; Saint Julian who is widely known as Julian the Hospitaller and Julian the Poor whereby he is the patron Saint of hunters. The town's flag is identical to the Belgian flag which has to do with the fact that it is thought that St Julian was Belgian (from Ath), despite the fact that it is disputed whether he was also from France (Le Mans) or Italy (Naples).
Before the reform to the Calendar of Saints, the memorial to St Julian was on January 27. Nowadays, the is celebrated on February 12, though in Malta an additional feast, in the spirit of the many summer feasts around the island, is celebrated on the last Sunday of August.

66424 Driver Paul Scrivens approaches the road bridge at Westry, March, at the head of 8Z57 15.40 Stowmarket DGL - Worksop Up Yard.
This was taking 57002 Rail Express away from Stowmarket, it having been dumped there since developing a severe wheelflat (or wheelflats) while operating railhead treatment trains the previous autumn. In the consist, for brakeforce since the 57 has its brakes isolated, are PFA four-wheel flat wagon DRSL92740, and mark 2e BSO coaches 9508 and 9506; the two coaches are escort vehicles, officially classified RMA, and usually used on flask trains conveying waste from nuclear submarines, where they are staffed by armed personnel - the coaches have been modified by removing their gangway connections. DRS was vacating the sidings at Stowmarket, GBRf being the new operator of the East Anglia RHTTs from autumn 2023, and this was the last item of DRS rolling stock to leave.
The train was timed to run at a maximum of 35mph, and was therefore booked to be looped at several locations to allow other trains to overtake. Having been unable to go in at Bury St. Edmunds (because the loop is currently out of use) and then only pausing briefly at Ely, the train was 36 minutes early at Manea, where I took my first shot of it. It was then booked to go into March Down Yard for an hour and a half until just after 19.30, which allowed me time to go for something to eat and then get here in plenty of time for a second shot.
But even this was early - by about twenty minutes! It was booked to run behind a trio of passenger trains: five minutes behind Cross Country's 1N67 from Stansted Airport to Leicester, which was booked twelve minutes behind Greater Anglia's 2E82 from Ipswich to Peterborough, and that was booked seven minutes behind EMR's 1R84 from Norwich to Sheffield. 1R84 should have been ten minutes behind GBRf's 4E43 from Felixstowe to Doncaster.
However, while 1R84 was on time (and, at one stage, projected to arrive early at March!), 4E43 was 29 minutes late, 2E82 22 minutes late (after a late start) and 1N67 19 minutes late (due to OHL problems at Elsenham). If 8Z57 had set off on time it would have been right in front of the two late-running passenger trains, and if it had waited for its correct "slot" and set off from March slightly late (behind 1N67) it would have then missed its path north from Peterborough, on the ECML. There was a window of about 20 minutes after 1R84 to get 8Z57 moving, and that is what happened. 8Z57 was then followed by a late-running Freightliner container train I'd not spotted (because it was a full hour late), and neither that nor 4E43 right behind it lost any more time as a result of 8Z57 being let out early (nor did either of the late-running passenger trains). So a good piece of regulation carried out by the signallers in the mechanical boxes on this line!
