DALKEY, SOUTH DUBLIN
Image by infomatique
Dalkey Island is situated about 10 miles south of Dublin, near the village of Dalkey, two miles south of Dún Laoghaire harbour. The island is now uninhabited by humans, but there are the remains of houses, a church and a Martello Tower. Located less than 300 metres offshore the island comprises 9 hectares (22 acres).
Dalkey Island, only 5 minutes by local boat from Coliemore Harbour, is an important site of ancient and historic remains. Artefacts from the island, now housed in the National Museum in Dublin, are evidence that the original occupants were from the Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age. Settlers continued to use the site through the Iron Age and Early Christian period.
There is evidence it was inhabited in the 4th millennium BC (6000 years ago) and was also used as a Viking base. There are ruins of another church, dating from the 7th century, named after St Begnet. This was altered on the east side when builders used it as living quarters while building the nearby Martello tower and gun battery in 1804. An older wooden church was probably here before the present stone one was built.
A promontory fort was located at the northern end of the island, its presence still visible today in the form of a ditch. A herd of goats, originally put there in the early 1800s, remains there today but they are replacements of the original goats which were removed.
You can take a boat to the island in the summer months, by asking one of the local fishermen at Coliemore or Bulloch Harbour. The island is also an ideal spot for fishing, with Pollock, Coalfish, Wrasse and Mackerel being caught.
The ruined stone church was built in the 9th/10th Century and was probably abandoned when the Vikings used the island as a base to form part of the busiest port in the country at that time. In the early 19th Century the British Admiralty erected the Martello Tower, one of eight dotted along the Dun Laoghaire coastline, as an early warning defensive device against the one time threat of invasion during the Napoleonic era.
The channel between the island and the mainland is very deep and was once considered as a location for an oil terminal. However, the local area is very residential, and it was decided that the terminal should go elsewhere.
The waters around Dalkey Island are much used for sailing, angling and diving. Rocks known as Maiden or Carraig Rock, Clare Rock and Lamb Island all to the northwest form part of the ridge of the Island. Parts of these rocks are only visible at low tide.
The Rocks to the east of the Island are known as "The Muglins" and are a different group or chain. These form a danger to shipping and have been fitted with a distinctive beacon.

The pathway to the Chapel of the Holy Cross – Sedona
Image by Al_HikesAZ
I played tour guide for my daughter and her friend Brenda for a trip to Sedona. We toured the Chapel of the Holy Cross. To reach the Chapel of the Holy Cross you climb this ramp and go around the corner.
www.chapeloftheholycross.com/store/shopcontent.asp?type=H…
History
The first conception came to Marguerite Bruswig Staude in 1932 in New York City while observing the newly constructed Empire State Building. When viewed from a certain angle a cross seemed to impose itself through the very core of the structure. She wanted to build a structure that would glorify her Creator and in thanksgiving for all that her family had received. She traveled throughout Europe looking for the ideal location. She returned to the United States and while her and her husband Tony traveled through Sedona, she was struck by the beauty of the area and decided that this chapel should be built here. . “This would be a monument to faith, but a spiritual fortress so charged with God, that it spurs man’s spirit godward".
Built on a twin pinnacled spur about 250 feet high, jutting out of a thousand foot red rock wall, "solid as the Rock of Peter" the building of the Chapel was completed in April 1956. Just the physical construction was a physical miracle, overcoming difficult conditions to construct this chapel.
The message of the Chapel "That the Church may come to life in the souls of men and be a living reality is renewed and observed each day. Even as we speak it invites all to come to spend time to get connected with their creator.
The Diocese of Phoenix and St John Vianney parish has maintained and administered the Chapel since 1969. We are only caretakers of this most spiritual structure, where all are welcomed to come, meditate, pray and be reconnected with their Creator. We are here to pass this on to those who come after, so the Chapel may glorify the great gifts God has given us. In our transient exsistence, in good times and bad, we are here to be united with all in faith and purpose. To live in peace and unity with all our brothers and sisters .
The Chapel of the Holy Cross has been a compelling Sedona landmark since its completion in 1956. Designed by Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chapel appears to rise out of the surrounding red rocks. The towering cross and awesome panorama of buttes, valley and sky are a source of inspiration inviting rest and reflection. (This site presents incredible photo opportunities in all directions!)

The American Institute of Architects gave the Chapel its Award of Honor in 1957. In the sculptor’s words, “Though Catholic in faith, as a work of art the Chapel has a universal appeal. Its doors will ever be open to one and all, regardless of creed, that God may come to life in the souls of all men and be a living reality.”
In 2007 Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona,[2] and it is also the site of one of the so-called Sedona vortices

It’s a Bloody Long Walk…
Image by spdl_n1
It doesn’t look it here, but it’s a long, steep climb up to Deir Mar Musa from the car park at the bottom of the hill.
Deir Mar Musa el-Habashi is a Christian monastery located in the Anti-Lebanon Mountains to the north of Damascus. It was founded in the 6th century by St Moses (no, not *that* Moses) on the site of earlier Roman fortifications, before falling into disuse in the 1830s. An Italian priest, Father Paolo Dall’Oglio, visited the ruins in the 1980s, fell in love with them, and soon set to work to put them back into use.
Typically for Syrian Christians, the monastery takes great pains to build bridges with the local Islamic community. However, unusually for Syrian Christian institutions, Mar Musa is ecumenical (there are both Catholic and Orthodox inhabitants) and mixed (the monastery houses monks and nuns).
It’s a special, lovely place, and well worth a visit if you’ve a spare half-day in Damascus. I like how you can hardly see the monastery buildings in this shot – they just blend in with the rocks. Many visitors think there’s quite a Tibetan feel to Mar Musa – but having never been to Tibet, I wouldn’t know one way or the other…

Faves and Comments always welcome! Have a great weekend everybody!
The Saint Andrew’s Church (Ukrainian: ????i?????? ??????; Russian: ??????????? ???????) is a major Baroque church located in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The church was constructed in 1747–1754, to a design by the Imperial Russian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
The Saint Andrew’s Church overlooks the historic Podil neighborhood, situated on a steep hill to which the church gave its current name Andriyivska Hill.

Home of the Stylite
Image by spdl_n1
After a recovery of sorts from her stomach bug, Emma and I decided to go out to the ruins of St Simeon, a church cum basilica cum fortress complex which sprung up around the column originally inhabited by St Simeon the Stylite.
Unfortunately, Emma took a turn for the worse en route to St Simeon’s, and didn’t explore the site – she was only capable of sitting under a pine tree whilst I went off to play.

PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks.
This is the Nyhavn Canal area of Copenhagen. On the left in the red building is where Hans Christian Anderdson lived in May 1835 after publishing his first adventure booklet. The third boat down on the left is the Lightship XVII.
