It's raining and I am aiming to reduce my backlog of shots. Collages will do that! Besides, every time I look, there are more permutations.
For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: “Yellow".
HMM!!!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
This photo were taken back in March 2012. I am just catching up with them. I had started to put up our trip to Northland but for some reason never got them all up.
The Cathedral of St Patrick and St Joseph (usually known as St Patrick's Cathedral) is a Catholic church in Auckland CBD.
In 1841, the land was acquired by Bishop Jean Baptiste Pompallier, the first Catholic bishop in New Zealand. A wooden chapel was constructed in 1842, replaced by a stone church in 1848, which was expanded in 1884, and finally replaced with the current cathedral in 1907. The church was designated as a cathedral in 1848, and consecrated in 1963.
The church is located on the original site granted by the Crown to Jean Baptiste Pompallier, the first Bishop, on 1 June 1841. To minister to the 300 or 400, mostly Irish, Catholics in Auckland in the 1840s, a wooden chapel, clergy house and school room (the first amenity ready for use) were opened and blessed on 29 January 1843. Work soon began on a more permanent church. In 1845, the Australian architect Walter Robinson arrived in Auckland on the encouragement of Pompallier and he was commissioned to design a stone church. The new church was built on the original grant of land and situated on the corner of Chapel Street (now Federal Street) and Wyndham Street.
At first referred to as a chapel, and then a church, St Patrick's became the Catholic cathedral when Auckland was made a diocese in 1848 and when Pompallier, after a visit to France and Rome, returned to Auckland in April 1850 and made the city (then the capital of New Zealand) his headquarters. This simple, plain church, seating 700, was built of locally quarried hammered scoria and had a very substantial appearance similar to others designed by Walter Robinson at this time.
On 4 May 1884, the foundation stone of a new (24.4m by 12.2m) nave was laid, and the old stone church became the transept – the altar, for which a recess was built in 1895, being on the east wall. The architect for this major addition was Edward Mahoney. Between 1884 and 1885, the nave was extended according to Edward's scheme. The nave had a tower, and the bells for this were brought from Rome. The organ was brought from Brompton Oratory, London for £600. The new addition was opened on 15 March 1885 by Archbishop Redwood, the Archbishop of Wellington.

On certain lucky evenings the colour of the lavender fields on the plateau de Valensole has strong competition from the sky.

We are just over halfway through our lockdown here in Melbourne, the Rainbow Lorikeets in our weeping gum have been a source of entertainment!
A late afternoon stroll, bathed in sunshine, which was lighting up the Autumnal colours at the side of the river Ouse. It didn’t last long as the sun soon fell behind the buildings to the left, the colours were still there, but not nearly as vibrant.
It's been pretty horrible weather in the UK over the past few weeks, rather reflected in the images I've put up here, tending to be B&W, however I have resolved to have a 'colour weekend' so here we have Portsmouth, in colour, in 7 images

The beautiful and very colourful bathing boxes at Brighton beach which looked amazing in the early evening light last night.
A big thank you to my Flickr friend Laszlo for another great photography outing!
Mi antorcha de luz, referente etéreo y eterno donde recalo cuando el agua bajo mis pies desaparece dejando ver sólo tierra yerma sin justicia ni sentido, cántaro al que cantar y contar secretos, deseos, rabias y el miedo a esa voraz oscuridad gélida e implacable.
My torch of light, ethereal and eternal reference where I end up when water under my feet disappears, revealing only barren land without justice or meaning, pitcher to which I sing and tell secrets, desires, rages and the fear of that voracious, icy and implacable darkness.
