St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral is a Greek Orthodox parish and center for Greek-American life in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Its noted Neo-Byzantine church is located at 36 North Pinellas Avenue.
St. Nicholas hosts an annual Epiphany celebration on January 6, in which Greek Orthodox boys aged 16 to 18 dive into Spring Bayou to retrieve a white wooden cross, said to bring the finder good luck for the year. It is the largest such event in the Western Hemisphere, with thousands in attendance. A statue of an epiphany diver is located in front of the church.

The domed main church building, designed by the Eugene Brothers of Chicago, was completed in 1943. Modeled in part after the Hagia Sophia in what is now Istanbul, it melds Byzantine and Gothic Revival styles. It is a local landmark that has been featured on postcards.
Noted features include 23 stained glass windows surrounding the dome depicting episodes in the life of Jesus and the saints, hand-painted by Joseph V. Llorens of Atlanta, and the sixty ton altar, made of Pentelic marble. Within the dome are three large chandeliers imported from Czechoslovakia. The altar was originally part of the Greek exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. It, along with the cathedra, choir stalls, and other components were obtained with help from George Frantzis.[7] A new altar of Carrara marble was installed in 1965.
The interior is richly decorated with icons, many by Greek iconographer George Saklaridis. Forty-one icons, sponsored by various members of the parish, were delivered in 1952, with more added in subsequent years. On December 4, 1969, the icon of Saint Nicholas was observed to have drops of moisture, and some consider it a Weeping Icon.
The community traces its history to John Cocoris, a native of Leonidio in Arcadia, Greece, who settled in the area in 1896 and became a prosperous sponge diver and trader. The trade attracted Greek immigrants as well as Greeks from other parts of the U.S. By 1907, the population was large enough to support a Greek Orthodox church, a project put under the supervision of Nicholas Peppas, a native of Aegina. The first church, completed that year at a cost of $300 for the land and $3,500 for construction, was a wood frame structure painted white. Rev. Stamatis Koutouzis was appointed the first parish priest. The parish added a school in 1925.
By 1935, the parish had outgrown the first church and began raising funds toward the current structure. Construction began in 1941 and was completed in 1943 when it was consecrated by Archbishop Athenagoras (later Patriarch) at Epiphany. St. Nicholas was by then a significant center of community life as well, with major festivals surrounding Epiphany, Greek Independence Day, and Orthodox Easter. Honoring this, in 1975, the Tarpon Springs Board of Commissioners passed a resolution designating the city the "Epiphany City" of the United States.
St. Nicholas was elevated to cathedral status for West Florida on On January 6, 1976.

No idea how this white traces were created. Maybe because of the snow? The white form of a cloud and the clouds in the air came together in this wide angle picture. It was the blue hour; the original picture was even more blue, so I changed the white balance a bit.
I Don't know...
It is what's trace...
But...
I know one thing...
that is...
All which comes here remains
one's trace...

The trace of a departed autumn leaf on a concrete sidewalk.
walk a lot, and I always carry a camera. At a minimum I have my smart phone, but most of the time I have a “real” camera in my bag. I don’t always photograph when I’m on walks, but from time to time I spot something that interests me. This was one of those times. Recent rains had leached the colors out of fallen leaves, staining the sidewalk with their autumn colors.
This photograph is a bit difficult to categorize. In a sense it is a “autumn photograph,” since the subject derives from that season’s leaves. But I made it in winter after those leaves had time to stain the concrete. In addition I’m not sure if it is an urban/street photograph or a photograph of nature. In the end, perhaps it doesn’t matter — it is just a photograph.

Trust: a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something.
Humans have a natural disposition to trust and to judge trustworthiness. This can be traced to the neurobiological structure and activity of a human brain. Some studies indicate that trust can be altered e.g. by the application of oxytocin.
Oxytocin (not to be confused with OxyContin, the painkiller at the centre of the opioid epidemic) has been called the “love chemical,” the “hug hormone,” the “elixir of trust,” and even the “moral molecule,” among other monikers.
There is a lot of hype out there,the snake-oil salesmanship rampant in a shady industry of sprays, balms, and elixirs claiming to harness the power of oxytocin to win friends, lovers, and clients.
The intense interest in oxytocin has been a double-edged sword. While science tries to sort out the nuances of what the hormone does and how, the popular press and the public have run wild with the concept of a feel-good hormone that could seemingly right society’s wrongs.
As studies continue some people wait in hope and some of us wonder why you would need a "chemical additive" to make friends.
(in my opinion messing with your brain's chemistry is a risky business).
...900 years ago...the beginning of Christianization...this chapel is considered the oldest church building in the Hanoverian Wendland region. The square, hewn stone blocks and the three round-arched windows in the east wall suggest construction at the end of the 12th century.
The chapel was likely destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, as it was already a ruin by the end of the 17th century. In 1987, following an exploratory excavation and subsequent partial reconstruction, it was restored to its present state.
