Sacrament I A cleaned up sketch of Eden in his late teens #art #religious #ocs

Grey illustration of a male oc being lowered into unstill water filled with chrysanthemums by an unknown person in the bg. He's facing slightly away from the viewer with closed eyes, his long hair snaking amongst the waves.
A gold bar earring falls vertically in the center of the drawing and casts a yellow light on the water.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ Taken outside a church of a wedding we went to a while back here in Ireland. Have a fabulous day my friends 😌 #PalacesAndGardens #statues #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotograpersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #Ireland #Church #Architecture #Stonework #Religious #Thursday #Photo

The picture shows a magnificent close-up of the outside of a church here in Dublin Ireland. At the bottom of the photograph there is an archway and just above that there is a statue with smaller stone arch ways in the body of the building in the middle is a statue embedded in the building.

Above that statue there is a magnificent stain glass window in a segmented circular style. The window itself is beautiful colours of muted blues oranges and golds. The window is within a giant arch and the whole buildings colour and stonework is of soft beiges and tan colours wore in by time.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ May the peaceful grace of weather beauty bring you solace. Have a reflective day friends 😌 #PalacesAndGardens #FacesEverywhere #Photography #ECK #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Pray #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Statue #Peaceful #Religious #Weathered #solemn #PhotographersUnited #Ireland

Our picture shows a weathered stone statue of a woman,representing the Virgin Mary, standing in a quiet outdoor setting.

The statue fills most of the frame and is photographed from slightly below, giving it a dignified and contemplative presence.

The figure wears a long flowing robe and a veil that drapes over her head and shoulders. Her hands are clasped together in prayer at chest height, with her fingers gently pressed together.

Time and the elements have left their mark on the stone. The surface is heavily textured with cracks, peeling layers, and patches of moss or lichen.

The once smooth features of the face have softened with age, yet her expression remains calm and serene. Her gaze is directed slightly upward, as if looking toward the sky or lost in quiet reflection.

The robe falls in deep folds down the length of the figure, creating a sense of movement and grace despite the statue’s stillness. The weathering is especially noticeable on the hands, sleeves, and front of the garment, where the stone appears chipped and worn.

Behind the statue, the background is intentionally blurred into a dark tapestry of trees and foliage.

Small circles of soft light shimmer among the darkness, creating a gentle bokeh effect that makes the statue stand out dramatically.

Warm brown and golden tones in the background contrast with the pale grey and cream colours of the stone.

The overall mood is one of reverence, age, and quiet endurance. The statue appears to have stood through many seasons, its worn surface telling a story of decades, perhaps centuries of exposure to wind, rain, and sunlight while maintaining its peaceful posture of prayer.

Finally our picture is finished with a simple white frame.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ & welcome to the old convent in my little Irish village. If these walls could talk…. Have a fabulous day friends ☺️ #ECK #WallsOnWednesday #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Religious #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Ireland #ClassicMono #Architecture #Cross #Stonework #CloudFormations

Our picture is taken from a low angle, looking up at the corner of an old convent building, which gives it a slightly imposing, almost solemn presence.

The structure itself appears aged and weather-beaten. Its exterior walls are rough and stained, with dark streaks running down the surface, likely from years of rain and exposure to the elements.

The texture suggests worn concrete or stone, mottled with patches of discoloration that hint at neglect or long history.

Near the top of the wall, there is a circular architectural feature, possibly a sealed or boarded-up window.

It sits recessed into the wall, framed by a thick ring, but the interior looks dark and empty, adding to the sense of abandonment.

At the peak of the roof stands a simple cross, silhouetted sharply against the sky. The cross is slender and slightly uneven in shape, suggesting age or hand-crafted metalwork. It anchors the building’s identity as a religious place.

The sky above is dramatic and heavy. Large, dense clouds dominate most of the frame, with a greenish-grey tint that gives the whole scene a moody, almost eerie atmosphere. The light is diffused and dim, as if a storm is approaching or has just passed.

Overall, the image feels quiet and somber. The combination of the worn building, the stark cross, and the brooding sky creates a sense of history, isolation, and perhaps a touch of mystery.

As though the convent has stood there for decades, silently watching the village change around it.

Finally our picture is finished with a white border frame.

Why does #Census religion data matter? In the years leading up to the 2026 Census, religious orgs pressured the #ABS & the #Albanese govt not to change the #religion question because they benefit from inaccurate results. #AUSPOL #NoReligion #Census2026 #Atheism #Apatheism #AntiTheism #religious

Good morning #BlueSky l have a haunting shot l took a few days ago for #WindowsOnWednesday. Have a reflective day friends 😌 #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #Ireland #StainGlass #StainedGlass #Church #Religon #Religious #VirginMary #Haunting #Wednesday #Photo

The picture shown is a close-up of the Virgin Mary with a stain glass windows behind her in an outside shrine opposite a church here in my local village in Ireland.

The Virgin Mary herself fills the left of our frame from top to bottom. She is in a crossed arms pose wearing a robe and a head piece. Her head is slightly facing down and away from us with a haunting yet serene expression.

Behind that statue is a stone enclosure with two framed stained glass windows and they also fill the entire picture behind her. The window design is one of many interlocking flowers and petals all in muted pinks, blues, purples and whites.

The colours were muted that day as it was overcast when l took this shot, but rest of the picture has been purposely colour separated to show only monochrome leaving the stained glass windows the only colours showing.

The whole picture is finished off with a thin white border to frame it. Here’s a little information on this beautiful outside shrine:

A shrine to the Virgin Mary, or Marian shrine, is a shrine marking the apparition or other miracle ascribed to the blessed of Virgin Mary, or a site centred on historically strong Marian devotions.

Can't be said for #SupremeCourt their culpability in this cannot be excused for much longer. Hidden #religious fundamentalist underpinnings to their ruling forged in a cauldron that added the virulent #transphobic whispers of the Equalities and Human Rights Chair. That toxin needs bright daylight.
