Easter Sunday 2010, Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Macro

I purchased a macro lens a year or so ago, but haven't really shot that much with it besides the odd wedding ring.  Yesterday I finally went out and shot some stuff around the shop with it.  I find that most macro shots tend to be fairly abstract, and I guess lately I haven't been too abstract.  Maybe it's time to cultivate abstraction.

Scraps of Industry

The Rock

Also known as one of the Pillars of Hercules, Gibraltar is one of my favorite places in the world. It is so beautiful and huge and wonderfully English :) The town is mostly just super high end stores (I saw my first Rolex!!! - not even that cool..), but the trip up the rock is super awesome, with wonderful caves (one with a theater for plays and musicals inside it!!!), monkeys, tunnels, and gorgeous views of the ocean, the harbour, and Morocco too!

Soldiers in the City

Just thought I would post a few super old photos from Jerusalem. Israel has been in the news a lot lately and I thought I would post a few pictures of soldiers in and around Jerusalem.

Easter Sunday Last

Last Easter I had the privilege and honour of being in the Holy Land. The entire Easter week was one of the most amazing of my life. Being in Jerusalem and tracing the events in the last week of the Saviour's life was absolutely wonderful. I was pondering that Easter morning long ago as I prepared a talk for church this week. As I studied the Resurrection of Jesus Christ I thought I should share at least some of the photos I took at the Garden Tomb last year. I know that Jesus Christ is my Saviour, that he lived and died for me. I am so grateful that he was resurrected so I can live again as well! Happy Easter!

I will be working through more of my Easter photos this week hopefully so stay tuned.

Under the Boardwalk

Tarifa

Tarifa, the Southernmost tip of Spain. Apparently it's known for kiteboarding, but there weren't too many of them out in January (I did see one tho...)

Return to Naboo

So if you go watch Episode II (I hesitate to call it Star Wars...) and go to the chapter called "Return to Naboo," you will see this wonderful building... Of course it will be all digitized up, mirrored, and generally made to look... faker... but..  oh well right?

Anyways, the two shots or so in that scene that were not completely computer generated were shot in this building in Sevilla, Spain.  We met up with the LDS Missionaries in Sevilla and they showed us around the city (and pointed out the fact about Episode II getting filmed there).  It was pretty sweet.

Herbicidas

I suppose we should have these posted around our farm as well? ah.. who cares.. (or does con mean "without?"... in that case we are right to NOT have them all around... ) lol. Anyways, it was a lovely evening in Southern Spain and I was out taking pictures of the beautiful green fields and trees (in January!!). And right now there is about 6 inches of snow on the ground outside my door... sigh.. oh to Spain...
