A bronze statue found on my walk through the cemetery. It was quite large and looming. I really had no choice but to take a photograph of it, though finding the best angle was rather difficult. I circled it several times before deciding that viewing the angel’s face through the arms was the best option. Wyuka Cemetery / Lincoln, Nebraska, USA Canon EOS 30D DSLR

The view from just inside the Louise Carnegie Gates of Pittencrieff Park, looking back up the High Street in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The skyline is dominated by the tower of Dunfermline City Chambers. This building was historically designed to be the centre of local government in Dunfermline. In more recent times most of these functions have been devolved to other locations, but [as of 2008] the impressive edifice still houses the Council Chambers, the Burgh Court and Dunfermline’s Registrar Office. The building, constructed in the period 1875-79, was created by James C Walker who also designed the first Carnegie Library. It employs a harmonious composite of French, Gothic and Scots baronial architectural styles and features a prominent four-face clock tower. It was constructed on the site of an older Town House of 1771 which was in its turn built to replace the 17th century Town House, demolished as part of 18th century improvements to make way for Bridge Street. There are many features of historic and architectural significance in the building. The structure includes heraldic stones recovered from the demolished 1771 Town House. These are plausibly believed to have originated from the now derelict Royal Palace of Dunfermline a few hundred yards to the south. The finely designed interior of the City Chambers incorporates many notable features, in particular the oak hammer beam roof which provides the ceiling for the Council Chamber itself. The historic police cells, although no longer in use, have also been preserved. Furnishings include a number of notable artworks including busts of several Scottish sovereigns, a statue of Robert Burns, Sir Joseph Noel Paton’s painting, Spirit of Religion, and an early twentieth century portrait of King Malcolm and Queen Margaret.

Just to the south of Dunfermline’s High Street lies one of Scotland’s most unusual churches. The Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland is two very distinct churches, joined in the middle. The effect is unexpected but attractive. The Abbey Church, as the name suggests, was the church serving Dunfermline Abbey. A church probably already existed on this site in 1070, when King Malcolm III married Queen Margaret. Margaret liked Dunfermline so much she set up a Benedictine foundation here. This was later transformed by her son King David I into what was intended to become the most important abbey in Scotland. Work was started in 1128 on the Abbey Church and the nave still survives as the western half of the building on view today. During the building of the new Abbey Church in 1819 bones believed to be those of Robert the Bruce, because of their position and because of a cut breastbone (to allow the removal of his heart), were discovered. Robert was reinterred in the centre of the new Abbey Church, 560 years after his death. His grave now lies under the magnificent pulpit covered by a large brass grave marker. And to celebrate his presence the words “KING ROBERT THE BRUCE” were formed with large stone lettering around the four sides of the crown of the tower. Subtle it isn’t, but striking it most certainly is. To the right of the shot is the gothic tower of Dunfermline City Chambers.

We seek our playmates, / Waking them up from all corners before it is morning. / We call them in bird songs, / Beckon them in nodding branches. / We spread our spell for them in the splendour of clouds. / We laugh at solemn Death / Till he joins in our laughter. / We tear open Time’s purse, / Taking back his plunder from him. / You shall lose your heart to us, O Winter. / It will gleam in the trembling leaves / And break into flowers. - Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) .....sometimes, the simple things please me.

The vibrant colours of the dawning of a new day are reflected in the sky and on the earth, just before the rising of the sun at Barwon Heads. / Each new day brings Hope and Promise to us all, whether it be a fresh start in life, new horizons & adventures or the the refreshment and Blessings of a new day that are sometimes needed after a long dark night. Lamentations 3:22-24 (New King James Version) 22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, / Because His compassions fail not. / 23 They are new every morning; / Great is Your faithfulness. / 24 “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, / “ Therefore I hope in Him!” Pentax K20D Camera – S.speed 3 Sec – f27 – ISO 200 / Sigma 18 -125 mm lens – 21mm / Edited in ACDSee Pro3.

The Red Rose of Lancaster is today the county flower of Lancashire. / Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster, was the first one who used it as a heraldic device. / I added the motto of the first king of the House of Lancaster, Henry IV, “Ma Sovereyne”. (I hope this is right…past life remembrance isn’t something I trust in yet.)

When my DS was very small I used to make cartoons for him. I have thought for years to make him a book but I never had time. / Today, the first time in many years I have created one of my cartoons. / This is “Herald” a very fat Blue Russian/Persian Cat cross, that is addicted to cat nip in a bad way. LOL I will be offering “Herald” at my online shops. / You can email me for special orders to have the book lettering personalized to what ever name or sayings you would like. Remember, you have to email me and not the online store to have it personlized. / These special orders will take 6 to 8 weeks so order early.
