A couple of friends and I placed a red gelled light inside this old caboose in the ghost town of Rhyolite Nevada and did a long exposure to bring out the stars.

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”

Tulips were blooming all over the place at the conservatory. So I got a few shots. Maybe a lot of shots. (lol)
I hope everyone enjoys this image!
Someone listens to all I don't mention.
And within me lives a quiet room where emotions enters slowly, unspoken, unhurried, stepping into the light as if unsure they belong.
Within me lives a quiet room with walls built high. A place I keep for thoughts still finding their meanings and words waiting for their moments to shine.
Within me lives a quiet room, a haven when nerves rest, questions settle and paradoxes undo themselves
Within me lives a quiet room, I invite few to enter. Only those who is patient enough to stay, to listen and to care.
Within me lives a quiet room and perhaps within you too is a similar space. Where your heart speaks to you even when you say nothing at all.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my photo, I really appreciate it!
ant Pau del Camp és un antic monestir benedictí que es troba en ple barri del Raval. Fundat amb tota probabilitat al segle x, la seva església romànica és la més antiga que es conserva a la ciutat de Barcelona,[1] i és l'únic d'aquest estil a la ciutat.[2] El seu petit claustre, amb arcs polilobulats, és únic dins l'arquitectura del romànic europeu.Història
No hi ha dades exactes sobre la data de construcció. Hom creu que va ser abans de l'any 911, que és la data que figura a la làpida trobada al monestir i corresponent a la tomba de Guifré II, a qui s’atribueix la fundació del monestir. Es creu, també, que el comte va iniciar la construcció d'una església sobre les restes d'un antic edifici religiós i que s’hi va establir una comunitat de monjos benedictins. El monestir era fora de la protecció de les muralles de la ciutat; d'aquí el seu nom, ja que es trobava al mig del camp.
Com que era fora del recinte emmurallat, el monestir va esdevenir un blanc fàcil per als atacants. Així, el 985, les tropes d'Almansor el van atacar;[3] va quedar destruït gairebé completament i fou abandonat per la comunitat. A partir d'aquella data va passar a ser una simple església dedicada a sant Pau.
El 1096 va començar la restauració de l'edifici i s'hi va instaurar una nova comunitat. Malgrat tot, el monestir fou novament atacat el 1114. Tres anys després, el matrimoni format per Geribert Guitard i Rotlendis en van fer una nova restauració i van unir el monestir, en qualitat de priorat, al de Sant Cugat del Vallès.Al segle xiv es va construir una nova muralla de la ciutat i Sant Pau del Camp va quedar finalment englobada dintre del nou recinte emmurallat. El 1508, el monestir es va unir al de Montserrat fins que el 1593 es va tornar a unir, també en forma de priorat, al de Sant Cugat.
El 1617 es va unir definitivament a un altre monestir, el de Sant Pere de la Portella, situat al Berguedà. El 1672 s'hi va instal·lar el noviciat de la Congregació Claustral Tarraconense, que abans era a Lleida, i es va iniciar l'època de major esplendor del cenobi. La comunitat va abandonar definitivament Sant Pau del Camp el 1835, amb la llei de desamortització de Mendizábal, que va comportar l'exclaustració. El darrer abat va ser Joan de Safont i de Ferrer, home certament polifacètic: teòleg, matemàtic, astrònom, filòsof, catedràtic de la Universitat de Barcelona i membre de l'Acadèmia de Bones Lletres.
A partir d'aleshores, el monestir va passar per diversos usos. El 1842 va esdevenir una escola, mentre que entre el 1855 i el 1890 es convertia en caserna militar. El 1879 fou declarat Monument Nacional, gràcies a la intervenció de diversos ciutadans, entre els quals Víctor Balaguer. El recinte fou novament devastat el 1936. Des d'aleshores s'hi han fet diverses restauracions.
El CRAI Biblioteca de Reserva de la Universitat de Barcelona conserva, arran de la desamortització dels convents del 1835, els fons provinents del Monestir de Sant Pau del Camp, que actualment sumen més de vint edicions.[4] Així mateix, ha registrat i descrit diversos exemples de les marques de propietat que van identificar el convent durant la seva existència.[5]
Sant Pau del Camp (Catalan for 'Saint Paul of the countryside' / 'in the fields'; IPA: [ˈsam ˈpaw ðəl ˈkam]) is a church and former monastery in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. While the monastery now stands within the El Raval district in central Barcelona, it once stood outside the city (before 14th century); its rural location gave the church its name.
History
There are no sources about the monastery's origins, it is generally thought that it was founded by count Wilfred II of Barcelona, whose funerary inscription was found within the monastery in 1596.[1] The monastery is documented from 977; in 985 it was sacked and destroyed by the Muslim troops of al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir.[2]
Restorations were begun in 1096, through donations from Geribert Guitard and Rotlendis,[2] and a new monastic community arrived. In 1117, Sant Pau became a priory of the monastery of Sant Cugat.[3] By the 13th, a new cloister, church and monastic quarters were built.[2] In 1377, the monastery consisted of a prior and eight monks, which declined in the 15th century to consist of three monks.[2] An initial monastic meeting for the Terragona province occurred in 1577 and such meetings would continue from 1594 to 1835.[2]
The monks were removed upon the secularization of monasteries by the Spanish government in 1835.[2]
It was declared a National Monument in 1879.
I posted a long exposure shot of this pier before, but this version I'm up under the pier further. Actually, in the water and waves, which gave this image a ghostly distortion over time. The other difference is the other one was in color, and this is monochrome naturally. But anyway I hope you enjoy it! :)
Guys,
I'm sorry, but I haven't been on much, and I haven't seen some of your works or made comments and ect.
So you understand why, my wife's mother is not in good shape, and there is a lot going on. My wife flew to California on medical care leave, but I couldn’t go because of work. I have been busy and not in a photographic mood.
Life is short and sometimes not very nice or fair!
The time you're within now shouldn't be taken for granted... for tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Thank you for visiting, and I appreciate the support and friendships I've made here on Flickr my friends...
God bless you and yours...
The Sphere Within Sphere, also known as Sfera con Sfera, is a series of sculptures created by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro depicting an enormous metal sphere with a cracked surface revealing an intricate interior with another cracked sphere inside.
Arnaldo Pomodoro says that the inner ball represents the Earth and outer ball represents Christianity. The design of the internal layers which look like the gears or cogwheels of a complex machine symbolizes the fragility and complexity of the world.
This sphere is at Trinity College in Dublin Ireland but it can be found at other prime location around the world. Originally created for the Vatican Church in the 1960s, also at the Headquarters of the UN in New York, The Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, USA, The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus and the Tel Aviv University in Israel, to name a few.

Ravens and crows together form the genus Corvus in the corvid family (Corvidae). The larger representatives are referred to as "ravens", the smaller ones as "crows". However, this is not a taxonomic classification. The genus includes 42 species, which are distributed almost worldwide and are missing only in South America. In Europe, the common raven, the carrion crow (carrion crow and hooded crow) and the rook occur. As a naturalized neozoon, the crow has also been breeding in the Netherlands since the late 1990s.
Ravens and crows are among the largest species within the order of passerines: the two largest representatives of the genus are the common raven (Corvus crassirostris) and the common raven (Corvus corax), each of which has a body length of between 60 and 70 cm and a body weight of up to Can reach 1.5 kg and are therefore the largest passerine birds ever.

Raben und Krähen bilden zusammen die Gattung Corvus in der Familie der Rabenvögel (Corvidae). Die größeren Vertreter werden als „Raben“, die kleineren als „Krähen“ bezeichnet. Hierbei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um eine taxonomische Einteilung. Die Gattung umfasst 42 Arten, die fast weltweit verbreitet sind und nur in Südamerika fehlen. In Europa kommen der Kolkrabe, die Aaskrähe (Rabenkrähe und Nebelkrähe) und die Saatkrähe vor. Als eingebürgertes Neozoon brütet zudem die Glanzkrähe seit Ende der 1990er Jahre in den Niederlanden.
Raben und Krähen zählen zu den größten Arten innerhalb der Ordnung der Sperlingsvögel: Die beiden größten Vertreter der Gattung sind der Erzrabe (Corvus crassirostris) und der Kolkrabe (Corvus corax), die jeweils eine Körperlänge zwischen 60 und 70 cm und ein Körpergewicht von bis zu 1,5 kg erreichen können und damit die größten Sperlingsvögel überhaupt sind.
