This beautiful photo has been captured by Jean Francois Lanzarone.
From the picture, we can feel a sense of peace and freshness of the air.
Picture it on one's mind, with the sound of the singing bird, the place would be a perfect place for solitaire.
Can one grasp the richness and perfection of its Creator? How magnificent and majestic!

This is something that is my style and sounds wonderful to the ears.
The name of the choir is St Phillips boys choir.
Libera, as we know it today, is the publicly performing boys section of St. Philip's Church choir from South London. Their concept is to make boychoir music more accessible to a wider audience, many of whom might be put off by the words 'church choir', by integrating classical and traditional music with a more contemporary, mainstream sound. The repertoire they sing as Libera is in addition to, not a replacement of, their church singing. It does not detract from the fact that the core activity of the choir is their duty as part of the Anglican parish church. When heard during Sunday services, they are more like other church choirs than the Libera we see on TV and hear on CDs.
To help distinguish between the two there have been different names given to their separate roles as a choral group - first, the St. Philip's Boys' Choir, then in 1990 they changed to Angel Voices, then to Libera in 1998 ("Libera" being the Latin word for "Free", the title of their 2004 album).
St. Philip's Church is over 100 years old and has a long choral history. Its choir was established many decades ago and became a firm foundation on which the future was built. As a result of this, the current key to Libera's public success and popularity lies with two former St. Philip's choirboys - Robert Prizeman, choirmaster, and Ian Tilley who is the sound and technical genius.

Wikis
I look at this week task and amazed of how mind can create such a complex page. I really like the explanation from the link to "full library succes: a best practices wikis", especially on the topic of how to sell your library. There are lots of strategies and examples that we can learn and share around.
Also, looking at the Possible Next Generation Catalog under Hennepin County Library's bookspace gives me the idea of how I can use this application to promote the library items. Not just the page is pleasant to look at, the link works!

Frog Green Sporty Car
Traffic is heavy, rushing left, behind and front but the frog green sporty car still showing no sign of slowing down. With care, travel to reach to the place wherever its driver plan to go.
Remember:
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.
In a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize.
Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Do not run like a man running aimlessly;
Do not fight like a man beating the air.
Run as to get a crown that will last forever.
I Cor 9:24-27
