Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

City Center Sculpture

Summicron

To get over to Piccadilly Gardens and our bus to Glossop, we had to walk a few hundred yards through Manchester city center, and I came across this conglomeration of buildings, which just seemed to scream take a picture, so I put on the 90mm summicron lens and got this pyramid shape of the various peices of architecture. Now there is a sculpture in a whimsical and slightly surealistic gender, which looks very much (no I've never been to the USA) like some whimsical sculptures dotted around Manhatten, especially the one in Gramercy Square.

How do I know? I've a book called, Reflections of New York, by Pamela Thomas, and photographed by, Karen Kent, I picked up in a charity shop (this is the reason I would like a book section in the forum) but I digress. You will by now have guessed that I am enthralled by Manchester, it is seemingly having a renaissance, and the buildings that are being erected  there are fascinating. Even so we must heed the words of Jesus, in that, in the last days people would be marrying and being given in marriage, that men would be building up and tearing down, at a huge rate of knotts. And here is another one of those wonderful scriptural parallels, when the disciples were showing Jesus the magnificence of the temple, Jesus predicted the temples coming destruction, as well as His crucifixion and resurection.
