I have been into many ... cathedrals -- grand, wonderful, mysterious. But I always leave them with a feeling of indignation because of the generations of human beings who have struggled in poverty to build these altars to the unknown god.

Lets in new light through chinks that time has made.
Stronger by weakness, wiser men become,
As they draw near to their eternal home.

- st. theodosius russian orthodox church this church is was featured in the wedding scene of the 1978 movie the deer hunter, I finally watched the movie this fall, after years of avoiding it. painful to watch, but doable -now, I can check that off my must see list. cleveland, august 2008
- one of the art cars that were toured the country last year. the surface of the car is covered with an incredible collection of 'treasures.'

I have seen few things as lovely and spiritually moving as that cathedral...no matter what one's belief.
I have to show the Wonder Husband that car...he's a car buff and that is car-art of another kind.
I thought that church seemed familiar....
Love the "shell-shocked" car and the shot of Ms. T longing to go out is priceless! Happy TT kimy :)
butt...that was deep. Happy TT!
the limo/herse is really cool. we have a car like that at the farmers market. the boys love to look and touch.
hoping to skate well.

As usual a wonderful collection of quotations and images : nobody does this approach to the weekly theme like you do. Happy TT.
Excellent photos! The one of the street looks very like mine - all potholes after the barrage of winter.
I left a comment with some info on your Sepia Saturday post, Kimy. Did you see it?

Once again great photos and those quotes really make me think. Happy TT!
You had me with the first quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The cathedral ceiling is beyond incredible but her sentiment is true. I felt the exact same way when I traveled through western Europe and I visited one hell of alot of cathedrals, churches & of course, the Sistine.
I love the quote by Albert Schweitzer. And the last photo was the most beautiful.
Great collection. Kim! I love the cathedral and the embroidery.
Yes, the cathedral is awesome, but I too think my favorite is of Ms.T looking out and longing to go out and play in the snow. Well unless she was longing for spring to hurry up and get here. I love spring.
Just beautiful pics and beautiful quotes. Thank you again.
God bless.
Under the surface. Ha, I didn't think of that one. Beautiful photographs and well chosen quotes.
Wonderfully beautiful pics!!!
Love the cathedral!
Perhaps Elizabeth Cady Stanton should have been in the Ferris Wheel with Harry Lime when he made his "cuckoo clock" speech. As always, I like the one with Ms. T the best, so quietly dramatic, pushing to get out and know the world through that invisible barrier which is protecting her from the elements.
I love the quiltmaker design...so complex...and of course, the PURE sweetnes of seeing ms t watching the snow fall...darling!
As always, a wonderful match-up of images and quotes.
I love the Sartre quote.
I'm aware that the last photo will be a tone-shift in the progression of your images, but it ALWAYS gets me.
;)
The "" could only be British, oh, wait, Welsh.
Great selection of quotes and images!
I have to say i adore that photo. for many it was a labour of love in fact, building for future gens.
Some wonderful quotes there Ms Mouse and the pictures . .well it goes without saying. Loved the Welsh sign and have you read Ken Follet's 'Pillars of the Earth' great fictional insight into the building of a cathedral and the drama surrounding it.
Lovely photos and very interesting quotes.
wow wow wow! great photos. love the one of Miss T (always). And the butt - now that's puttin it out there! miss blogworld. bebacksoon...
Jeeze!That First Photo Makes Me Dizzy!
Loved your post. All the photos (and quotes) are wonderful, but that one of Ms T takes my breath away!
You are a great photographer.
oh what a great collection
the car made me smile - I used to love those little knick-knacks encrusted with shells when I was a child...
