Weight Up
The heaviest White Rhinoceros on record weighed 4600 kg. I cannot imagine weighing that much. On the plus side, there would be very little that anyone could do to stop me once I got going, but just imagine the energy required to actually get going.
But I Am Out Here
Some days I think that church services should be held outside where God’s creation can be freely marvelled at. This Presbyterian church had regular services from 1886-1976 but today is only used for special events like weddings.

Sliding From Magic
Before digital photography, there were photographic negatives and prints, which in turn replaced mounted slides. In each case a more convenient format replaced a less convenient one.
Every few months, our family gathers for a slide-show evening (the real sort, not something involving digital images or Microsoft Powerpoint). It is always interesting, and there is often a lot of laughter at images of our younger selves and of friends and family who we remember fondly but are no longer with us.
I am in the process of sorting through some of the slides. As I do so, I am realising that the cost of convenience is the loss of magic that comes from handling a slide. It is pure magic to pop a slide into a projector, or put it onto a lightbox and have instant memories of events and times previously forgotten.
Today’s photo is of slides that my father took before I was born. I am amazed at how similar the subjects my Dad chose to photograph are to those that I like to photograph today. The medium may change, but some things don’t. That is also magic.
