Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

After having my feet bandaged at the health center today, (still getting smaller, but never getting there) I decided to head in towards Bolton, and then depending on the weather take a trip on the 68 bus to a place called Worsley, as I mentioned before a long time ago, the waters of the Bridgewater canal around these parts is really this browny yellow, due to old mine workings leaching iron into the water, 42 miles of underground tunnels around here, where miners used to get coal out of the mines in small flattish boats called coffin boats, have a look at the web. The day was one of those marvelous cloudy bright days where the sun was running in and out of clouds, wait a minute and the sun was out illuminating the scene, whilst heavy clouds backed up the scene.
  Don't be fooled by the buildings, all you will see is mock tudor, they were all built in the nineteenth century. Of course the place is wonderfully charming, it was made to be, I fell in love with the place years ago, and today was the first opportunity I've had to see it again, albeit rather foolishly, as the towpath in places was a mudbath, difficult to skirt round, got my bandages a bit muddy (Clip round the ear when Sister Kath Eccles sees it tomorrow, supposed to be resting it, not galavanting along towpaths)
  Judy these are partly for you as they show in detail the houseboats that people holiday in and many people own as weekend getaway's, this one is heading towards that mock tudor magpie house, this is the famous viewpoint, the tripod holes were submerged in mud today.

Wow-I can see why you loved it-its a beautiful place!
God's Word is truth, You can trust and believe what he says more than any human word!!!--"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble,I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
