You are the sweetest soul I've ever seen
Every time I scream you are the man I go to
You are the man I wrote to
Your the man I go
Your the man I wrote to
Saviour reign me in
Don't mind my mad behavior

"Wie die Skulpturen im Raum angeordnet sind, ist vielleicht wichtiger als das, was sie repräsentieren."
Antony Gormley
bewundert in der "Chapel of Holy Saviour" - Convent of St. Agnes of Bohemia, Prag
Antony Gormley erkundet mit Leidenschaft, ob eine menschliche Form - sowohl als Gefäß für den Körper als auch als Behältnis für den Geist - ein zeitgenössisches Subjekt für Kontemplation sein kann - gerade in spirituellen Räumen.
Der Künstler spricht von "Sein" im weitesten Kontext und erkundet das Jetzt, arbeitet mit dem Leben, macht Körperformen und Körperabdrücke, implizit lebensgroß, in verschiedenen subtilen Zuständen und platziert diese gern in einer Reihe von diversen Einstellungen. Die von ihm ausgewählten Plätze oder Orte sind niemals zufällig - Gormley wählt sie gezielt aus. Er behandelt den Körper wie ein Haus und lädt den Betrachter zur Teilnahme ein.
Die auf diesem Bild wie wahllos verstreut liegenden Stein-ähnlichen Formen ergeben in der Draufsicht ebenfalls eine humane Form...

The Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou is near Karyes, and is dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Saviour. The etymology of the name is in all probability connected with two phases in the life of the Monastery. A monastery with the name of Koutloumousi is mentioned in a document as early as 1169 and is to be identified with the one which bears that name today. Nevertheless, the second founder of the Monastery is thought to have been a certain Koutloumous, a member of a dynasty of the Seljuks converted to Christianity.
In the 4th century Koutloumousi passed through difficult times because of looting raids by the Catalans which set the seal on a process of weakening and decline which had begun as early as the 12th century. Prosperity came to the Monastery under the enlightened leadership of the Abbot Chariton of Imbros in the second half of the 14th century. Chariton obtained important help from John Vladislav in maintaining the privileges of the Greeks against the Romanians who had taken up residence there. In 1393 the Monastery was awarded the status of a stavropegic foundation. In the early 15th century monks from Koutloumousi took up residence in and annexed the deserted St Alypius Monastery. By a Patriarchal sigillium of 1428 the Alypius Monastery was absorbed by Koutloumousi, which thus became more powerful.
This period of prosperity was followed by one of decline, to which the great fire of 1497 contributed. In 1767 yet another fire destroyed the east wing of the Monastery. The assistance of the Patriarch of Alexandria Matthaios II was decisive for the Monastery's recovery. In the 19th century (1857 and 1870) fire again did serious damage to the buildings of Koutloumousi. Repairs were carried out through the efforts of the Abbot Meletios. The last fire occurred in 1980; the damage caused was recently made good.
The katholikon of Koutloumousiou dates from the 16th century and is a classic example of Athonite architecture. Its original wall-paintings have, however, been painted over. The phiale and the bell-tower are works of the 19th century. The Monastery possesses 18 kellia and the fine Skete of St Panteleimon (1790), with 22 kalyves. Of special artistic value is the carved wooden sanctuary screen. Koutloumousiou has seven chapels and an equal number outside its walls. The Chapel of the Mighty Protection has a wonder-working icon of Our Lady of the same name. The Monastery has in its safekeeping many relics of saints, vestments and interesting portable icons. The library contains 662 manuscripts and approximately 3,500 printed books. Koutloumousi holds sixth place in the hierarchy of Athonite monasteries and, like all the monasteries on Mount Athos today, is a coenobium. It has some 20 monks.
Η Ιερά Μονή Κουτλουµουσίου είναι κτισµένη κοντά στις Καρυές και είναι αφιερωµένη στη Μεταµόρφωση του Σωτήρος. Η ετυµολογία του ονόµατος σχετίζεται πιθανότατα µε δυο φάσεις της ζωής του µοναστηριού. Μονή µε το όνοµα Κουτλουµούσι αναφέρεται ήδη σε έγγραφο του 1169 και θα πρέπει να την ταυτίσουµε µε την σηµερινή. Ωστόσο δεύτερος ιδρυτής της µονής θεωρείται κάποιος Κουτλουµούσης από την εκχριστιανισµένη δυναστεία των Σελτζουκιδών.
Τον 14ο αιώνα το Κουτλουµούσι έζησε δύσκολες στιγµές µε τις ληστρικές επιδροµές των Καταλανών που σφράγισαν µια πορεία αποδυνάµωσης και κάµψης η οποία είχε αρχίσει ήδη από τον 12ο αιώνα. Η περίοδο ακµής του µοναστηριού ήρθε µε τη φωτισµένη καθοδήγηση του ηγουµένου Χαρίτωνα από την Ίµβρο το δεύτερο µισό του 14ου αιώνα. Ο Χαρίτων εξασφάλισε σηµαντική βοήθεια από τον Ιωάννη Βλαδισλάβο διατηρώντας τα προνόµια των Ελλήνων έναντι των εκεί εγκαταβιούντων Ρουµάνων. Το 1393 το µοναστήρι κατεστάθηκε σταυροπηγιακό. Στις αρχές του 15ου αιώνα Κουτλουµουσιανοί µοναχοί κατοίκησαν και προσάρτησαν την έρηµη µονή του αγίου Αλυπίου. Με πατριαρχικό σιγίλλιο το 1428 η µονή Αλυπίου απορροφήθηκε από το Κουτλουµούσι το οποίο απέκτησε περισσότερη δύναµη.
Την ακµή διαδέχθηκε η παρακµή στην οποία συνέβαλε και η µεγάλη πυρκαγιά του 1497. Το 1767 ακόµη µια πυρκαγιά κατέστρεψε την ανατολική πλευρά της µονής. Η συνδροµή του πατριάρχη Αλεξανδρείας Ματθαίου Γ΄ υπήρξε καθοριστική στην ανακαίνιση της µονής. Τον 19ο αιώνα (1857 και 1870) η φωτιά µε σφοδρότητα έρχεται και πάλι να πλήξει τα κτίρια της µονής. Οι επισκευές τελεσφόρησαν µε τη φιλότιµη προσπάθεια του ηγουµένου Μελετίου. Η τελευταία πυρκαγιά που συνέβη είναι αυτή του 1980, οι ζηµίες της οποίας πρόσφατα αποκαταστάθηκαν.
Το Καθολικό της Κουτλουµουσίου ανάγεται στον 16ο αιώνα και αποτελεί κλασικό δείγµα αγιορειτικής αρχιτεκτονικής, ενώ οι αρχικές αγιογραφίες του έχουν επιζωγραφηθεί. Η φιάλη και το κωδωνοστάσιο είναι έργα του 19ου αιώνα. Στην κατοχή της µονής βρίσκονται 18 Κελλιά και η ωραία σκήτη του Αγίου Παντελεήµονος (1790) µε 22 Καλύβες. Ιδιαίτερης καλλιτεχνικής αξίας είναι το ξυλόγλυπτο τέµπο. Η µονή διαθέτει 7 παρεκκλήσια και ισάριθµα εξωκκλήσια. Στο παρεκκλήσι της Φοβεράς Προστασίας υπάρχει και η οµώνυµη θαυµατουργή εικόνα της Παναγίας. Στη µονή φυλάσσονται πολλά λείψανα αγίων, ιερά άµφια και ενδιαφέρουσες φορητές εικόνες. Στη βιβλιοθήκη στεγάζονται 662 χειρόγραφα και περί τα 3,500 έντυπα βιβλία. Το Κουτλουµούσι κατέχει την έκτη θέση στην ιεραρχία των µονών και όπως όλα τα σηµερινά αθωνικά καθιδρύµατα είναι κοινόβιο. Οι µοναχοί του είναι περίπου 20.

In this picture, there are BILLIONS of midgies (1-1.5mm biting flies) just dying to dine out on your blood. For that reason, Sandwood Bay in July is a near suicidal place to choose for wild camping. However, COVID restrictions prevented the usual week in June for the last 30 years, leaving that the only option.
Fortunately for most of the time, the wind blew strongly from north, then south, then west. On the one evening when stillness descended, the clouds of dementors filling the grasslands rose up intent on revenge. I had not appreciated that despite previous belief, smoke from a fire will not save you when they have not eaten in days, even if you are standing over the smoky fire.
The westerly saviour also swirled through the sea of maram grass and provided some interest on a dull wet day.

Where I come from, in France, there are a lot of those water towers. I never really understood their usefulness, do they need to be this big to build pressure ?
The Spasskaya Tower (Russian: Спасская башня, translated as "Saviour Tower") is the main tower with a through-passage on the eastern wall of the Moscow Kremlin, which overlooks the Red Square. & The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (Russian: Собор Василия Блаженного), commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in the Red Square in Moscow, Russia.(Wikipedia)

Christ the Saviour Cathedral which was first built in 1882 and took more than 40 years to build. It was later destroyed in 1931 on the order of the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin to make way for a Palace of the Soviets. Construction of the palace started in 1937 but was halted in 1941 when the Germans invaded the Soviets during WWII. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the cathedral was rebuilt between 1995 and 2000.
St Saviour’s is a small chapel situated in the hamlet of Stydd just outside Ribchester. It is a remnant of a Knights Templar establishment. The chapel is a simple rectangular shaped building, dating back to the mid 12th century and dedicated to St Saviour. It was beautiful to see in the early morning sunlight and an extremely peaceful place and feel about it, we couldn’t go inside as it was locked, but as it was in a huge field with a working farm at the rear it could be difficult to keep an eye on it, and sadly that is a fact of life these days.
Before we came to Copenhagen I had a look at things we could see in the city. Sometimes it's nice to just wander around and see where you end up but with limited time here, it was important to have a 'to do' list. Although we didn't go inside the church, I knew I wanted to get a close look at it, so I was pleased we found time to find this view point across the road from it!
You can climb the spiral staircase which narrows as it goes around the spire, but having watched a video of someone doing it on YouTube, I knew there was no way I'd be able to consider it!
The Church of Our Saviour (Danish: Vor Frelsers Kirke) is a baroque church in Copenhagen, Denmark, most famous for the external spiral winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. It is also noted for its carillon, which plays melodies every hour from 8 am to midnight.
When Christian IV planned Christianshavn in 1617, it was intended as an independent merchant's town on the island of Amager and it therefore needed a church. A temporary church was inaugurated in 1639 but construction of the present Church of Our Saviour, the design of Lambert van Haven, did not start until 1682. The church was inaugurated 14 years later in 1695 but important interior features like the altar had a notoriously temporary character and the tower still had no spire. The church got its permanent altar in 1732 but plans for construction of the spire was not revitalized until 1747 under the reign of Frederik V. The new architect on the project was Lauritz de Thurah. He soon abandoned van Haven's original design in favour of his own project that was approved by the King in 1749. Three years later the spire was finished and the King climbed the tower at a ceremony on 28 August 1752.
There is a long-lived urban legend stating that the architect killed himself by jumping from the top of the spire, when he realised that the spiral turns the wrong way - anticlockwise - around. This is not about Lambert van Haven, since the spire was added to the church almost 50 years after his death, but the designer of the spiral spire, Laurids de Thurah. There is no truth in the myth though, since Thurah died in his bed seven years after the spire was completed, and there is nothing in the records that indicates that he should have been unhappy with his work in any way.
