The Liberator

I wrote a post on the Nook a while back on the significance of Martin Luther King, Jr. entitled More than a Black Holiday. Many regard him as a kind of modern day prophet. This statue of Moses standing in victory on the neck of the golden calf reminds me that prophets of then and now all pointed to a hope beyond themselves.

Roman Pillars and Eastern Seminaries

It has been a while; however, I am pretty sure this was a shot I took of a Russian Orthodox Seminary (праваславная семинария). You may know that the Christian Church split in 1054 C.E. over a complex of issues, which left the Roman Catholic Church distinct from the Eastern Orthodox Church, which includes the Russian Orthodox Church. What is intriguing to me here is that the pillars at this Eastern seminary we find Western, Roman styled pillars in the architecture. Where's Dan Brown when you need someone to make up an unbelievably paranoid conspiracy story?

Spire Through the Streets of Tallinn

Light is an amazing thing. It warms the soul and draws us towards it. It is more ancient than the cobble stones that pave the narrow streets of the best kept secret in Eastern Europe: Tallinn, Estonia.
