Looks like a road to nowhere.
Now, in the next town to me, is Christchurch.
I have to be careful about visiting there.
That’s weird RJ, I was looking up old religous paintings earlier this morning, I’m doing a 4" long crucifix for a lady client, she lost the one she had on her very expensive pearl rosary beads, it’s another tale for another day. Anyway I wanted to get some ideas for the figure.
I like that painting you speak of.
I believe it was also the inspiration for Paul McCartney’s song “Somebody’s knocking at the Door’
I also came across this.
What did Jesus really look like?
“An answer has emerged from an exciting new field of science: forensic anthropology. Using methods similar to those police have developed to solve crimes, British scientists, assisted by Israeli archeologists, have re-created what they believe is the most accurate image of the most famous face in human history” (Popular Mechanics)

Quite a shock eh? well it certainly shocked me, I thought it was more like Barabbas the robber as depicted in Hollywood films.:shock:
There’s a horse called “The Ducking Stool” not a bad jumper either and has won a few times, it must be trained around them thar parts.
There are many ducking stools around the country Jem.
But, remember the bet for Wednesday;-)

There is a distinct shortage of images of “Duck” stools on the interweb.
I thought we had poo-pooed the opinion of scientists.

One knows they’re not wildly exciting…but one wasn’t expecting Madam Bossyboots to berate one for not posting photos of an extremely unexciting,peaceful little island haven…so…well…there y’have it.
That is beautiful, is it the Wash??
Nossir…t’is the East Anglian coast.
Tis beautiful, admittedly, but, fraid it could be lost, an a daily basis.
Pardon?
Explain,good sir?
Complacency sir, detachment is everything.
Oh Spitty, you are such a card, we have of course, but we live in the hope that someday they will get something right, the old slinging mud at the wall and sticking thing, you know.
Lovely dark and mysterious shots Pug, seems a perfect place for composing music and writing thrillers.
“Much Deeping” in Hampshire is mentioned in Agatha Christie’s book “The Pale Horse” is there such a place? I’m watching it on Miss Marple at the moment, not one of her best works in my humble opinion.
We have some strange place names here, and you have some unusual place names over there too, for example.
Bell End, Worcestershire
Brown Willy, Cornwall
Boggy Bottom, Hertfordshire
Twatt, Orkney
Nob End, South Lancashire
Fanny Barks, Durham
Scratchy Bottom, Dorset
Minge Lane, Worcestershire :-D
One is NOT complacent. Neither is one ‘detached’. One merely prefers to live in peaceful solitude,on an island attached via a causeway to the mainland. Mass populace,with it’s greed,competition,bullsh#t and envy,inevitably causes one’s desire to kill [twitch,twitch] to once more forcefully emerge-which tends to cause concern among those of [twitch,twitch] more annoying tendencies…
One has never directed such tendencies at anyone, apart from the self, ergo ego.

I know spits…it was meant to be a jocular reply.
Apologies if I caused concern,bro.
