    "Troytsa" - some religious symbols in Bessarabia

    The Troytsa is a religious wooden monument, usually showing Christ on a cross (or just a cross) in various models, depending on the artist's skills or local custom. Apparently, of Slavic provenance and part of the legacy the Eastern Church, is present under various forms in the Eastern Europe...

    Easter vigil

    Rob, you managed to say what I felt but didn't knew how to say it: "doubt and questioning, which it could be argued led to the Enlightenment of Hume and others." Thank you !

    Easter vigil

    I am an atheist, not by design (born in the Orthodox church), but by conviction. I will be hard pressed to appreciate a religious event for what it stands for, seen from the Church point of view. What I look for in churches, monasteries, is the history of it, not the hand or words of this or...

    Easter vigil

    Night of the Easter, in an orthodox churchyard, where the people in this village where I was on visit) are holding their vigil. Ancient tradition, deeply rooted in the orthodox religious belief. Very impressive, to see all these people here united by this custom. It is perhaps the most important...

    A Different Kind of Anatomy

    I really like how the pipe is bending the knee (well, both of them). A different anatomy indeed, really good photograph !

    Critique Welcomed Excursions with my EXA

    While all look right as they should, my heart goes with Galatea. I know this sculpture, as I have seen it among the first things when I first visited Greenwich, and I noticed how Rubensian she looked. Those were the times when Cutty Sark was still untouched by the later flames, and the Admiralty...

    Right direction

    Not sure, Rob...it could be anything. Phone booth? Most probably, but out of use now. Modern life, as you said...

    Right direction

    My first thought was to name the photograph "Wrong finger". But then again I noticed the King pointing thus, and I changed my mind :)

    Agfa APX 25

    No buses there nowadays, Peter, it's all pedestrian zone. At times, one may feel one is the only resident of this old place, as the square is empty most mornings. Times change, I guess...

    Agfa APX 25

    Questions indeed, which may get answers, if they're asked that is :) The statues are actually a couple of ladies, and separate, the gentleman reading his newspaper; they're located in the middle of Koloman-Wallisch-Platz, Bruck an der Mur. Both (or rather all three of them statues) are the...

    Agfa APX 25

    Agfa APX 25 was my choice of slow film to go to when I shot 8x11 photographs with Minox cameras. Obviously, there were other films (Techpan, Spur, etc) which offered fine grain and good tones, but, I don't know, the APX 25 was the one most suitable for my Minox shots. Good memories. Here, a...

    A day with other humans

    Somewhat true. The communities of the 80s are no longer that, they had been heavily diluted and lost the cohesion which made them resist against anything nature and wars threw at them. Those dangers are still present to a certain extent, but the main danger come from elsewhere nowadays. I am...

    A day with other humans

    Rob, morning thoughts are the best many times :). They're fresh, unaffected yet by the daily events, I guess. I do agree with you, not my usual territory, but I took it as it presented itself to me. I was more attracted to the similarities than say, differences, mainly because those are the...

    A day with other humans

    A day in a different community than mine. A great distance between mine and this here, but life flow is the same: people are about their daily routine. Different places, different language. The human element remains the same, because deep down, when all is said and done, we're the same...
