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

In the center of Darwen stands this sculpture, it has a very similar look to it, to the Trinity bomb nicknamed the gadget, also round the base, there is an inscription, Absqe Labore Nihil, in Latin, translated to German, it reads, Arbeit Macht Frei. Look at a picture of the Nazi concentration camp gates, and you will find this inscription over them, veird. Actually the inscription is on Darwen's coat of arms. The building in the background to the left is, Provident hall, there was a lovely ballroom up there, with a well sprung floor, now its a nightclub. Also one of the upstairs rooms was Darwen Camera Clubs former premises.

Interesting sculpture!  And you can see the writing on the bottom of it.
