When the Presbyterians established a church in Clewiston, in 1925, it was known simply as Community Church. There were hardly any buildings in town, and ours was the only church.
Originally, Community Church met on Francisco St, in a wood frame school building hastily constructed after a storm washed the original one-room school house away in 1926. When a new brick school building was erected in 1928, the church purchased the old wood-frame school house, and moved it to our current site on Royal Palm Ave.
As the only church in town, Community Church let other denominations use its facility until they had their own. Catholic mass was held here, until completion of St. Margaret’s in 1931. Later, the Epis-copal and Methodist congregations held their services at Community Church.
The present church building was constructed in 1950. That’s also when “Presbyterian” was added to the church’s name. A Sunday School wing was added In 1955, and in 1964 the new Fellowship Hall was completed, on the spot of the original school house chapel, which had become unusable due to termite damage.
In 2012, Community Presbyterian Church began the process of dismissal from the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) through Tropical Florida Presbytery’s Gracious Separation Agreement. On Sunday, October 27, 2013, Community Presbyterian Church was formally transferred from the PCUSA to the Florida Presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC).
We are excited to work with those in our community to extend a healing hand and help to grow and expand the love of Christ within this community and abroad. We are hopeful in expanding our reach into the community that it will bring everyone closer together and offer support to those that needs it.

When two seasons collide.......
A wonderful overnight snowfall in the Southern San Juan Mountains created a beautiful mix of color and mountain textures.
Sun tanned toes ticklin the sand
Cold drink chillin in my right hand
Watchin you sleep in the evening light
Restin up for a long, long night
Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin all right
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
All day long just takin it easy
Layin in the hammock where it's nice and breezy
Sleepin off the night before
Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be back for more

Another Stagecoach in South Wales Service X24 photograph, taken in January 2013 on an afternoon after heavy snowfall in the valleys the previous night, which depicts Alexander Dennis Enviro300 27691 on Glyndwr Road, Cwmbran when heading for Blaenavon (if the roads were open)..
She and the other 13 in the batch remained at Cwmbran depot until replaced by "gold" standard E30Ds 27273-87 in November 2015, and is now based at Blackwood depot, primarily for Service 26 (Blackwood-Ystrad Mynach-Caerphilly-Cardiff).
I parked in front of the Pasadena City Hall and took several shots of the parking meters when lo and behold, a guy at the end of the last meter walked by and it somehow sealed the whole deal with my "dwindling size perspective" shot!

The farther away an object is from the viewpoint, the smaller it appears; therefore, when subjects of familiar size are included in a photograph, they help to establish the scale of the picture. Scale helps the viewer determine or visualize the actual size or relative size of the objects in the picture.

When I ordered my BrickCon badge I asked for my name and town I live in. Seems they spelled it wrong.
When the world is too much down on my back I lie,
And look up with longin' at my home in the sky.

When it was established sixty years ago, the Xingu Indigenous Park, larger than Israel, was surrounded only by rudimentary cattle raising, but now it is surrounded by intensive, pesticide-dependent farming.
she inhaled her cigarette. held it until her chest burned. closed her eyes to really feel it. waited until her ears throbbed and her head squeezed. she felt her body sink into the mattress -- 6ft below. then she exhaled, eyes barely opening to slits to look out the window. and, the slow sizzling burn of the paper from her cigarette reminded her. it all reminded her of how it feels to miss you.

When we finally came above the clouds the hiking trip became a fantastic experience. Beautiful weather with no wind and a carpet of clouds made a wonderful scene.
this adult Black Mamba was crossing a gravel road in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
This is the most feared snake of Africa because of its size, aggressive behavior and the toxicity of its venom.
Actually they will only show aggressive behavior if they perceive a threat. Once on a night game drive in the Kruger area we turned a corner surprising a large black mamba that was crossing the road. in an instant its head was more than a meter in the air with the mouth open in a threat display.
Quite a sight to remember.
"Black" in its name is derived from the dark color inside its mouth.
The venom is neurotoxic and symptoms appear very quickly.
When no specific antivenom can be administrated death may occur in half a day.

"Dusk falls in the churchyard as the darkness comes out to play, angels of death move slowly amongst graves and weep silently for the end of a day.
Black crows cry too in some haunting understanding, that lost souls lie more quietly now and only their tombstones are left still standing." (Fiona Smith 2016)
Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadephia, PA
Designed by John Haviland and opened on October 25, 1829, Eastern State is considered to be the world's first true penitentiary. Eastern State's revolutionary system of incarceration, dubbed the "Pennsylvania system" or separate system, encouraged separate confinement (the warden was legally required to visit every inmate every day, and the overseers were mandated to see each inmate three times a day) as a form of rehabilitation.
The Pennsylvania System was opposed contemporaneously by the Auburn system (also known as the New York system), which held that prisoners should be forced to work together in silence, and could be subjected to physical punishment (Sing Sing prison was an example of the Auburn system). Although the Auburn system was favored in the United States, Eastern State's radial floor plan and system of solitary confinement was the model for over 300 prisons worldwide.[citation needed]
Originally, inmates were housed in cells that could only be accessed by entering through a small exercise yard attached to the back of the prison; only a small portal, just large enough to pass meals, opened onto the cell blocks. This design proved impractical, and in the middle of construction, cells were constructed that allowed prisoners to enter and leave the cell blocks through metal doors that were covered by a heavy wooden door to filter out noise. The halls were designed to have the feel of a church.[8]
Some believe that the doors were small so prisoners would have a harder time getting out, minimizing an attack on a security guard. Others have explained the small doors forced the prisoners to bow while entering their cell. This design is related to penance and ties to the religious inspiration of the prison. The cells were made of concrete with a single glass skylight, representing the "Eye of God", suggesting to the prisoners that God was always watching them.[8]
Outside the cell was an individual area for exercise, enclosed by high walls so prisoners could not communicate. Exercise time for each prisoner was synchronized so no two prisoners next to each other would be out at the same time. Prisoners were allowed to garden and even keep pets in their exercise yards. When a prisoner left his cell, an accompanying guard would wrap a hood over his head to prevent him from being recognized by other prisoners.[8]
Cell accommodations were advanced for their time, including a faucet with running water over a flush toilet, as well as curved pipes along part of one wall which served as central heating during the winter months where hot water would be run through the pipes to keep the cells reasonably heated. Toilets were remotely flushed twice a week by the guards of the cellblock.
One of the two story cell blocks in Eastern State Penitentiary
The original design of the building was for seven one-story cell blocks, but by the time cell block three was completed, the prison was already over capacity. All subsequent cell blocks had two floors. Toward the end, cell blocks 14 and 15 were hastily built due to overcrowding. They were built and designed by prisoners. Cell block 15 was for the worst behaved prisoners, and the guards were gated off from there entirely.
Inmates were punished with the "individual-treatment system." At the time this form of punishment was thought to be most effective. They would be separated from others.[9]
In 1924, Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot allegedly sentenced Pep "The Cat-Murdering Dog" (an actual dog) to a life sentence at Eastern State. Pep allegedly murdered the governor's wife's cherished cat. Prison records reflect that Pep was assigned an inmate number (no. C2559), which is seen in his mug shot. However, the reason for Pep's incarceration remains a subject of some debate. A contemporary newspaper article reported that the governor donated his own dog to the prison to increase inmate morale.[1]
On April 3, 1945, a major escape was carried out by twelve inmates (including the infamous Willie Sutton), who over the course of a year managed to dig an undiscovered 97-foot (30 m) tunnel under the prison wall. During renovations in the 1930s an additional 30 incomplete inmate-dug tunnels were discovered.
It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965.[4][10]
The prison was closed in 1971. Many prisoners and guards were transferred to Graterford Prison, about 31 miles (50 km) northwest of Eastern State. The City of Philadelphia purchased the property with the intention of redeveloping it. The site had several proposals, including a mall and a luxury apartment complex surrounded by the old prison walls.
During the abandoned era (from closing until the late 80s) a "forest" grew in the cell blocks and outside within the walls. The prison also became home to many stray cats.
In 1988, the Eastern State Penitentiary Task Force successfully petitioned Mayor Wilson Goode to halt redevelopment. In 1994, Eastern State opened to the public for historic tours.
First time I’ve had any issue with either Nikon camera...all shots taken yesterday, including this, have a strong blue cast which when opened shows “colour temperature” away to the left at 2200 and “tint” at -3. I can change from “As Shot” to another setting to get something close to normal but highlights are still wildly overexposed meaning no detail at all in white areas. This is as good as I can get from a dozen images tried...my solution, get my D7000 and set the D610 as its older sibling is set and hope for the best.

Tonight's the night that never was
Baby, just forget my name
Won't be your one and only
But just 'cause we're lonely don't mean that we should
