The Kelpies in Scotland

The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland. I took this picture of the two Kelpies right before the sunset in the early springtime. I love the soft golden light of the setting sun reflecting on these majestic mythological water horses.

A Kelpie's Reflection

Bible On Lectern In St. Andrew's Church - Clevedon, England

I thought this was a charming interior view inside St. Andrew's Church looking towards the back with the Bible opened on the brass lectern to Luke 11:37.   St. Andrew's Church is where Lord Alfred Tennyson's best friend Arthur Hallam was buried. Tennyson wrote "In Memoriam A.H.H." about Arthur Hallam which is a very well know work of his. d St Andrew's is the oldest church in Clevedon and located along The Poet's Walk. Built in the Middle Ages on Saxon foundations it has been used as a place of Christian worship since Clevedon was a small fishing village and farming community.

The Altar Tomb Of John Kenn 1593

In the north wall of the chancel in St. Andrew's Church in Clevedon, England, under a plain pointed arch, is the altar tomb of John Ken of Clevedon who died 1593. Engraved on the top of the altar tomb reads "Here resteth the bodye of Joh Kenn, of Clyvedon, the sonne of Joh Kenn, of Kenn, esquire, who deceased the 12th day of Aprill, in the yeare of our Lord God MCCCCC. XC. III." His brother Christopher died the same year and was buried at Ken. Resting on top of his altar tomb is a prayer book and a hand made pottery golden brown pitcher.

Rusty Old Ball And Anchor

What an interesting looking rusty old ball and anchor that is covered in barnacle that was sitting on the beach in Labadee, Haiti in the Caribbean. Ah, the stories this anchor could tell if it could!

St. Joseph Lighthouses And Sailboat

This was a beautiful view I spotted on Silver Beach looking out towards the St. Joseph Lighthouses with a sailboat sailing by on a lovely summer afternoon. These lighthouses are located on Lake Michigan.
