The Lord's Day

Went down a complete rabbit hole with the title of this shot,    seems there are many reasons and none definitive why Sunday is Church day.


Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

Brilliant shot DA.    Is that St. Mary's Church?  Just guessing as I was scanning google earth near Hadleigh Castle and thought I remember seeing a church nearby that resembled your shot.

Yes,   Although you probably have a 1 in 5 chance of being right as that name is so common.   

I flew it once before and this was the history I left with the video.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a place of religious worship in the small town of South Benfleet, Essex. The church dates to around the 12th century, and predates the neighbouring Hadleigh Castle, which lies to the east a few miles away. The church was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1952

PS Fun story,   Ive been adding to my stock library and trying to figure out whats popular,  and it appears churches are popular sales so I took a trip over this church as it's older than most.    I took a number of shots which passed the quality check but they refused this one as its not high enough quality.  

Nice shot.

Nice capture!

Wonderful image, the colors and detail are excellent. Sunday worship seems to be tied to the pattern first described in the creation narrative from the book of Genesis. Thanks for sharing the image, it is very nice.

Yes, it is odd.
And now I'm not getting it. Same thread.

Ahh, I didn't realize that was such a common name in the UK.  Once again I learned something new.

Dang, they must have a super high standard for a quality shot;.

I have one image that seems to get reject by an automated check,  its become a thing here to knit a topper for the post boxes that are seasonal,   for the queens funeral people made QE2 toppers,   so I have this images of a white swollen topper and red post box and they say its over exposed.   Its not.     It's just their QC is hard.

Wow, that is a real shame.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-31 03:54
Wow, that is a real shame.

I tried a couple of tweaks to it but it was still rejected so I have given up with that for now.

Well, at least you gave it your best shot.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-1 03:30

Yes. But it’s so frustrating.  And no one likes rejection.

DAFlys Posted at 11-1 03:46

No doubt about it being frustrating.  You could apply this old timer's saying.

"Every time I was being rejected from doing something really good, I was actually being re-directed to doing something even better."

Not sure who coined the saying but it has got me through a few trying times, especially during court cases.

There's probably some truth in that.

Some truth for sure.  

Had a visit this morning from a couple of manatees.  Guess they were just checking out my dock area to see if there was anything interesting to see.  They stayed for about 20 minutes then swam off.

Lovely,   maybe they were attracted to something growing on the hull.

Man, I sure hope not.  I do need to dive on it real soon and see how it is doing.  Shouldn't be much growing on it but with the warm waters it doesn't take long for marine life to latch on.  At least that gives me a reason to go make some bubbles.  That's also something I can do on one of the rainy or gusty wind days as it will not effect me in the water.

It feels like a while since you mentioned you needed to check on it and then you had the incident with the harpoon.

Indeed although Ive seen weddings,  christening but never a funeral but they must happen there.

Judging by the gravestones, yes certainly at one time.

They did list them in the website,   so I must have just missed them all,  not surprising as I dont speed much time there.

Very true.  Probably going to give it a good look this weekend.  My grandson recently passed his PADI Open Water certification and has wanted to get some more dives in so I should invite him to come and check out he boat bottom with me.  The again, that might be too boring of a dive for him.

You'll get it done twice as fast though with two if you.

That said I heard a good one today.  Programmer is working on a project and is given a task,  he's asked how long will it take,  he says 4 days.  OK if we give you Steve to help can you do it in two?

The answer was classic.

"No!, Can 9 women make a baby in a month?"

I wish Id heard it when I was working as that sort of thing happened a lot.
