We have travelled from Portugal through Spain and France and here are four photographs that show our Earth as dominant to sky in the space taken in the photograph. I have then chosen four Bible verses showing God’s feelings about the EARTH. The strongest one is taken from the book of Revelation as well asContinue reading “THE EARTH and sky”

Food and travel
First a religious thought from the Bible: Here is Paul talking about how we change by looking: ‘ By looking at the loveliness and glory of the Lord we are changed by the Spirit of the Lord.’ 2 Corinthians 3: 18 (My way of saying it.) Then the same person Paul says this: ‘We haveContinue reading “Food and travel”
Córdoba
What does God look like? Daniel in 550 BC and John in 95 AD both saw God in vision and both were told not to be afraid. Eyes of fire. Both describe the figure’s eyes as torches/ flames of fire symbolising divine wisdom, knowledge and judgement. ( Daniel 10: 6 , Revelation 1:14 ) BronzeContinue reading “Córdoba”
Plants and home
A description of Jesus riding on a donkey into the city of Jerusalem is one the people would have understood to mean that He was accepting the position of a king but He was not! He put His head in His hands and cried. This city, a place where people lived close together, would beContinue reading “Plants and home”
The flat sea
The sea is flat faced. The sand is washed flat. The sun shines silver in the face of the flat sea. The rocks are flat plates. There are no surfers, the power has gone, they drive by and look or sit and watch their faces warm in the sun. It is the lower, low tideContinue reading “The flat sea”
… and so the sea seemed green.
In this post I will look at a few things said about conversation by Paul written about 65AD as a prisoner in Rome and then look at the storm named Francis that we saw a bit of from Friday till now. First Paul, who the Romans put in prison and then chained him to aContinue reading “… and so the sea seemed green.”
The Sabbath in Lagoa and Lagos.
Our church in Lagoa was good to be in after a year away but before we enter I want to look at a flock of Ibis, where one stayed to be photographed! Last year this time I photographed one stork, this time they were much further away in large numbers. Glossy Ibis was once rareContinue reading “The Sabbath in Lagoa and Lagos.”
Views from a window and the grey cliffs near Luz.
We have stopped travelling for a while but are staying close to the coast. The nights are dark and almost silent, with the thick walls of the cottage around us, it is a change. This post will look at three different views from one high window in the cottage. First from a bedroom looking upContinue reading “Views from a window and the grey cliffs near Luz.”
Falesia Beach (2)
This post is a sequence in 4 minutes of five photographs. I didn’t realize at the time what I had captured of this space in light colour, shades and tints. The times: 15:40,41,42,(I took two)43 44. Here are three very different thoughts about attention: The first from Antisthenes: ‘ Pay attention to your enemies, forContinue reading “Falesia Beach (2)”
Falesia beach and cliffs
How do we enter a space we have seen before? A year ago to be exact. We have changed by seeimg other spaces and places, other mountains, seas and forests, other works of art, but here we are at the entrance of a place that has experienced a year of seasons, weather, and many otherContinue reading “Falesia beach and cliffs”
Vila Real de Santo Antonio
I will start this post with religion. The reason this time is obvious. Sometimes there is no reason. God makes a promise to Earth: ‘ I do put my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a visible sign of my promise to you not to destroy the whole world with water again andContinue reading “Vila Real de Santo Antonio”
Jerez, Sendero and Sevilla
From Jerez we went to have a picnic where other Spanish people often enjoy the trees and landscape, 59km from the city. The trees were familiar. Were they the Syringa berry tree? Their leaves had mostly fallen but their yellow berries like beads clung on against the blue sky. They were! The tree has severalContinue reading “Jerez, Sendero and Sevilla”
