On the left hand of the Virgin Mary, the second from her (in the photo, the first on the left), a handsome old man with a long gray beard - a tireless researcher of Kyiv shrines, the cathedral archpriest of St. Sophia Cathedral Pyotr Lebedintsev, a teacher at the Richelieu Lyceum, an archaeologist and historian, a connoisseur of Byzantium, a highly educated person, appears as a wise old man, frozen in majestic calm.

 

On the left hand of the Virgin Mary, the third from her (in the photo, the second from the left), in the image of the Apostle Luke, the young apostle, has an undeniable resemblance to Vrubel himself. According to the icon-painting tradition, this place was usually assigned to the Apostle Luke, who was not only a disciple of Christ and an evangelist, but also an icon painter, the author of the first pictorial image of the Mother of God. It is symbolic that Vrubel sees himself in the place of Luka, that is, in the place of an icon painter.

 

По левую руку Девы Марии, второй от неё, (на фото первый слева), в образе апостола Иоанна, благообразный старец с длинной седой бородой – неутомимый исследователь киевских святынь, кафедральный протоиерей Софийского собора Пётр Лебединцев, преподаватель Ришельевского лицея, археолог и историк, знаток Византии, высокообразованный человек, предстаёт мудрым старцем, застывшим в величавом спокойствии.

 

Пётр Гаврилович Лебединцев - Кафедральный протоиерей Киевского Софийского собора. Церковный историк и археолог, основатель Исторического общества Нестора-летописца, почетный член Киевской духовной академии.

 

Коли у травні труна з тілом Тараса прибула до Києва, значну частину клопотів з поховання узяв на себе Петро Лебединцев, який був священиком у Подільському Успенському соборі Києва. 20 травня у церкві Різдва Христового на Подолі отець Петро відслужив панахиду за покійним Тарасом. Отець Феофан разом зі своїм братом Петром проводжали земляка в останню путь до пароплава, який доставив прах Шевченка з Києва до Канева.

 

«Зовнішність отця Петра була настільки виразною, що саме з нього художник Михайло Врубель, під час розпису Кирилівської церкви, вирішив писати одного з апостолів композиції «Зішестя Святого Духа». «По ліву руку Богоматері, другий від неї, благовидний старий із довгою сивою бородою – це кафедральний протоієрей Софійського собору П. Г. Лебединцев, археолог і історик, знавець Візантії, високоосвічена людина».

/Син Адріана Прахова мистецтвознавець Микола Прахов/

 

По левую руку Девы Марии, третий от неё, (на фото второй слева), в образе апостола Луки, молодой апостол, имеет несомненное сходство с самим Врубелем. По иконописной традиции это место отводилось обычно апостолу Луке, который был не только учеником Христа и евангелистом, но и иконописцем, автором первого живописного образа Богоматери. Символично, что Врубель видит себя на месте Луки, то есть на месте художника-иконописца.

 

Я із захопленням дивлюся на образи, написані Врубелем і навіть не намагаюся осягнути його далекий загадковий світ, в якому він по-своєму бачив красу і намагався розповісти про неї сучасникам. Новий технократичний світ оточує нас. І я боюся, що тонка нитка Аріадни, що тягнеться до розуміння геніального світу Врубеля, стає все більш примарною і буде втрачена назавжди.

This fantastic review has just come in!

or Read their wonderful review here:

 

"So this was it finally, the first part of the Hedy Patrucci’s Burlesque Show, long awaited and blanketed like the final training before a cup final. Hedy had invited her premiere guests to the Lyrics Ballroom, and the place was totally draped in matching decorations. After the big success she gained last year with her 2019 show, expectations were high for her this year’s show. And Hedy and her team delivered! – The costumes were glamorous, the dance acts fabulous and the different sets where creative and well chosen.

 

It was an extremely captivating show and best entertainment in SL. Though SL had its hick ups this evening for many, it couldn’t really harm the shining success of the evening. The enthusiastic applause at the end of the show was very well deserved.

 

Congratulations to Hedy and her team!"

This is the final performance SUNDAY 13 SEPTEMBER @ 12PM SLT, full production of professional dancers in Second Life with Hedy Patrucci singing live from The Netherlands

 

Hedy's performance at the opening night was nothing more than sensational!

 

She was truly sizzling on stage - and is truly an entertainer in every sense of the word.

 

Those that attended loved it and she had the audience captivated and dying of laughter with her seductive version of Dr Long John -

All the ladies are booked to see Dr Long John after hearing Hedy sing this song in her unique and brilliant way!

 

Every song she sang was a masterpiece - combine that with her humor - her tease - really this last performance of Burlesque should not be missed!

 

Last but not least, the Burlesque Dancers were absolutely sensational and our choreographer Faith Fromund is fantastic!

 

So blessed and proud to have these incredibly talented and professional artists in my life! Thank you each and everyone of you

 

A Special mention to Chandra @ !dM DeviousMind - the headdress and feathers come from this store, the creator Chandra is just wonderful and played a huge role in the wardrobe with her stunning costumes.

 

Lucky door prizes to be won!

Dress it up in Burlesque or wear cocktail or formal.

 

I have created a "memento gift box" of this special event.

 

They can be found on the tables in front of the bar, also dining tables are located along the runway for front row view - you will find the gift on these tables, also on the posters either side of the stage.

 

Come along, bring your friends to the best event in Second Life!

i failed but all was not lost as the end product was a delicious chocolate sauce now decanted into small pots and placed in the freezer to eat as and when. a portion was spooned onto this dessert.

i'll reattempt the fudge another day

i've created a new group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

       

MQT 3391 missing all lights, and number boards, sits in 2 bay inside a fairly empty Manistee roundhouse. In this photo 3391 has received its orange paint above the frame and its black paint below the frame. The following night the yellow would be applied followed by the decals. The contractors made quick work of the three SD40-2's but the quick work did not jeopardize the quality of the paint and still look fairly decent after almost 6 years.

“Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to take.” ~Angela N. Blount

 

The day I took this was the day that started out all wrong, but wound up being all kinds of right.

 

A little back story: On our first day we planned to drive from Las Vegas to Page, AZ and hit Horseshoe bend for sunset. The rental car took way longer than expected and we missed it by 20 min. Not a huge deal, but hard to miss it by so little. Then the next day, the storm rolled in. We were driving from Page to Moab, UT that day through Monument Valley, which we were really excited about. To our dismay though, it was completely socked in. We couldn't see anything. At all. So we disappointingly drove right through. After a couple nights in Moab the plan was to drive to Bryce Canyon...that night a winter storm warning was issued with 3 feet of snow predicted overnight (the park actually closed for a couple days). This meant, drive straight into the storm, or turn around and head back the way we came. We opted to turn around and head for Page again.

 

It was disappointing to think we would miss Bryce (wanting to see it was the catalyst that started this trip) but we were also excited that this meant an extra shot at seeing monument valley. Weather forecasts predicted more clearing in the afternoon so we killed some time by going back to Arches. We were shocked to see the clouds start to lift and the sun peek through. "This is our chance to see Delicate Arch in sunlight!" we proclaimed. The first time seeing it we found ourselves in a big snow storm. So we hurried over and practically ran the 1.5 mile hike up a rock to catch it (at this point we had found ourselves in so many unexpected snow storms that we honestly felt like it was following us...we had to hurry to beat the storm!). Sure enough we made it, and it was incredible!

 

Feeling pretty elated about our first true turn of luck, we headed to Monument Valley. While I can't say we had blue skies with a few white puffy clouds, I can say we could see stuff! This photo is of the road that leads into it. I suddenly yelled, "I know this place!" and told Nick to pull over...and like the good husband he is, he slammed the brakes on immediately so I could get the shot I wanted. One done frequently, yes, but I wanted my version, from our trip.

 

After stopping to see "the mittens" we moved on and headed toward Page. It was apparent that we just might make it in time to see sunset at Horseshoe Bend. Up and over mountain passes we went, through snow and rain, but as we got closer to Page we could see a wonderful patch of blue sky directly where we were headed. Time was running out though! Sunset was beginning! When we pulled into the gravel lot to park the sun was hanging low. Grabbing our gear we ran through the sand, hiking down to the breathtaking canyon. The sun had dipped behind the mountains within minutes of us getting there, but somehow I managed to snag a picture I quite liked. We stayed until it was almost dark, enjoying the desert land and watching moonrise. What had started as a forced change of plans turned into what we dubbed "Second Chance Monday."

 

Life can throw the most unexpected things into our paths. It can be extremely frustrating when we hold too tightly to our own idea of "perfect." Only when we let go of these notions are we free to experience life as it comes and the process itself...full of surprises, disappointments, and second chances.

Second life: it has to be Tranquility Dreams, but somehow I can't find the surl.. O.o

Much better seen in LARGE.

The second to last sunrise of the season up at Lost Lake. The rest of this day was spent wandering the lake, watching the canoes get packed up, seeing the goods at the general store marked down 50% which put them at almost normal prices and so forth. It imparted an interesting mood, with the hint of a fall chill in the air, to see the place closing up shop, knowing that soon it would be largely void of human activity, with just the gentle noises of water and wind and animal for the soft light to play to.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
