In antiquity the island was proverbial for the alleged muteness of its frogs.During the Roman imperial period, Serifos was a place of exile. After 1204 it became a minor dependency of the Venetian dukes of the Archipelago. In the late 19th century Serifos experienced a modest economic boom from exploitation of the island's extensive iron ore deposits
The white flowers of Field Chickweed, (also known as Meadow Chickweed), have five petals that are uniquely notched. It's a native species, about 8 inches (20cm) tall, and is fairly common in grassy areas of Colorado. These were seen at the top of Lookout Mountain, Golden, Colorado, adjacent to the alleged gravesite of "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
This is not the lawn weed, Common Chickweed (Stellaria media), that forms mats of small leaves and tiny flowers in your lawn, which is an invasive alien species. Field Chickweed flowers are about an inch in diameter.
According to the US Forest Service, this is a native plant.

But, other sources say it is an imported species. I say: "They were an attractive wild flower" : )
Inversnaid is a small rural community on the east bank of Loch Lomond in Scotland, near the north end of the loch. It has a pier and a hotel, and the West Highland Way passes through the area. A small passenger ferry runs from Inversnaid to Inveruglas on the opposite shore of the loch, and also to Tarbet. There is a seasonal ferry that also operates between Ardlui and Ardleish as well, which is a walkable distance from Inversnaid. To reach Inversnaid by road involves a 15-mile route from Aberfoyle. Nearby is an alleged hideout of Rob Roy MacGregor known as Rob Roy's Cave. The cave is difficult to access, and is best seen from Loch Lomond, where there is white paint indicating the location of the hideout

Ballacullish marque l'entrée de la vallée de Glen Coe.
Vallée encaissée, encerclée de sommets de quelque 1 000 mètres, Glencoe est l’une des régions les plus sauvages d’Écosse et l’une des plus célèbres. À la fois pour ses paysages de toute beauté et pour son passé sanglant. En 1692 en effet, une compagnie de soldats anglais, commandée par un Campbell, massacra 40 personnes du clan MacDonald pour avoir tardé à faire allégeance au roi d’Angleterre Guillaume III. Cette tragédie a alimenté pendant des siècles les dissensions entre les deux célèbres clans.
Wernerkapelle Bacharach Germany
From Wikipedia: Widely visible is the Wernerkapelle, a Rheinromantik landmark of the town, lying on the way up to Stahleck Castle from the town. It is the expanded Kunibertkapelle, and is still an unfinished Gothic ruin today. Its namesake is Werner of Oberwesel, known in connection with pogroms triggered by his death. According to the Christian blood libel, which was typical of the times, a 16-year-old Werner was murdered on Maundy Thursday 1287 by members of the local Jewish community, who then used his blood for Passover observances. On the grounds of this alleged ritual murder, there arose an anti-Semitic mob who waged a pogrom, wiping out Jewish communities in the Middle and Lower Rhine and Moselle regions. In folk Christianity arose the cult of Werner, which was only stricken from the Bishopric of Trier calendar in 1963.
Das Taubenschwänzchen (Macroglossum stellatarum), auch Taubenschwanz[1] oder Karpfenschwanz genannt, ist ein Schmetterling (Nachtfalter) aus der Familie der Schwärmer (Sphingidae). Sein deutscher Name leitet sich vom zweigeteilten Haarbüschel am Hinterleibsende ab, das eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit den Schwanzfedern von Tauben aufweist. Als Wanderfalter ist das Taubenschwänzchen in fast ganz Europa bekannt. Wegen seines auffälligen Flugverhaltens, das als Schwirrflug bezeichnet wird und das dem eines Kolibris ähnelt, wird es auch Kolibrischwärmer genannt. Zahlreiche vermeintliche Kolibrisichtungen in Europa gehen auf Beobachtungen an dieser Schmetterlingsart zurück.
The pigeon tail (Macroglossum stellatarum), also called pigeon tail [1] or carp tail, is a butterfly (moth) from the family of hawkers (Sphingidae). Its German name is derived from the two-part tuft of hair at the end of the abdomen, which has a certain resemblance to the tail feathers of pigeons. The pigeon tail is known as a migrant butterfly in almost all of Europe. It is also called a hummingbird warmer because of its noticeable flight behavior, which is known as hovering flight and which is similar to that of a hummingbird. Numerous alleged hummingbird sightings in Europe can be traced back to observations of this butterfly species.
Denny Abbey and the Farmland Museum has a unique and fascinating history, having been occupied at various times by three different monastic orders. Founded in 1159 as a Benedictine monastery, in 1170 it was taken over by the Knights Templars and used as a home for aged and infirm members of the order. After the Templars’ suppression for alleged heresy in 1308, it became a convent of Franciscan nuns known as the Poor Clares. Following the dissolution of the nunnery in 1539 by Henry VIII, it became a farm and was in use until the late 1960s.

Coronado Heights is a hill northwest of Lindsborg, Kansas. It is alleged to be near the place where Francisco Vásquez de Coronado gave up his search for the seven cities of gold and turned around to return to Mexico.
Coronado Heights is one of a chain of seven sandstone bluffs in the Dakota Formation and rises approximately 300 feet.[1]
In 1915 a professor at Bethany College in Lindsborg found chain mail from Spanish armor at an Indian village excavation site a few miles southwest of the hill,[2] and another Bethany College professor promoted the name of Coronado Heights for the hill. In 1920 the first road was built up the hill, known as Swensson Drive, with a footpath known as Olsson Trail. In 1936, a stone shelter resembling a castle was built on top of the hill as a project of the Works Progress Administration. In 1988 a sculpture by John Whitfield was placed half-way up the hill with the inscription "Coronado Heights 'A Place to Share'".[1]
A few weeks ago I had a nearly unpleasant encounter with a Coyote very early on the wilder part of the Mud Lake trails, and for the first time became a bit jittery during the dawn walks. That is my excuse for nearly fainting when this character popped down from the tree, oblivious to me, and squawked in horror when it saw me. I am not sure how I recovered to grab an image, but I sat down and calmed down shortly thereafter. And I blame the Coyote.
The name Raccoon comes from the Algonquian word arakun, which means ‘scratches with its hand’. The French name refers to its alleged washing of its food, which may now be better understood solely to be a function its habits of eating things caught from the water.
And I registered and was horrified by the late summer, early fall bokeh.

Nice to discover last week that my image 'Sunkenkirk' has been Shortlisted in this year's Historic Photographer Of The Year competition in the Historic England category.
This stone circle sits in a quiet corner of the Lake District and is much quieter than the more famous Castlerigg. On this morning, the sun rose over the distant hilly horizon and illuminated the stones perfectly, creating a very magical atmosphere. Local legend alleges that a church was being constructed on this site, but each night the Devil would pull down the stones and consequently created the stone circle - hence the monument's name of Sunkenkirk.
This image was published in a few online articles including The Daily Mail, The Telegraph & BBC as well as the winners and other shortlisted entries.
The Lucy family owned the land since 1247. Charlecote Park was built in 1558 by Sir Thomas Lucy, and Queen Elizabeth I stayed in the room that is now the drawing room. Although the general outline of the Elizabethan house remains, nowadays it is in fact mostly Victorian. Successive generations of the Lucy family had modified Charlecote Park over the centuries, but in 1823, George Hammond Lucy (High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1831) inherited the house and set about recreating the house in its original style.
Charlecote Park covers 185 acres (75 ha), backing on to the River Avon. William Shakespeare has been alleged to have poached rabbits and deer in the park as a young man and been brought before magistrates as a result.

Gweedore Bay, (Magheraclogher Strand) Bunbeg, Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland
Friend of the sea or Bád Eddie or Eddie’s boat are the names given to the old wreck at Magherclogher beach, Bunbeg Donegal. Cara Na Mara (‘Friend of the Sea’) is the official title of the abandoned fishing vessel ran into trouble during stormy seas in the early 1970s. The remainings of the boat are deteriorating rapidly, especially since June 2009 when the alleged "worst storm in living memory" hit the area. One half of the boat is now almost gone. I'm glad to have seen Bád Eddie before the sea claims his friend for itself.

L'église fut fondée en 1104 et relevait alors pour moitié du prieuré de Lihons-en-Santerre et pour l’autre de l’abbaye de Saint-Fuscien et du prieuré de Méricourt-sur-Somme.
Aucune trace de l'édifice fondé au XIIe siècle ne subsiste.
Lors de la première moitié du XVIe siècle, la reconstruction de l'église fut entreprise ce qui est confirmée par les dates de 1553 et 1568 inscrites sur la petite niche de la chapelle méridionale et sur le pignon du croisillon sud du transept. Cette reconstruction a été faite sous le patronage de la famille de Lorraine, seigneurs d'Harbonnières depuis la fin du XIVe siècle.
Au cours du XVIIe siècle, les combles, les charpentes ainsi que le portail de la façade occidentale qui fut repris dans le style classique, ont été restaurés. En 1693, le clocher fut construit à la croisée du transept.
Les voûtes de la nef furent ravagées dans un violent incendie en 1782 et refaites en plâtre.
Vers 1840, la structure du clocher, dont le poids altérait les piles du transept, fut allégée.
La façade principale de l'église est datée de 1595, elle est renforcée par deux contreforts sculptés. Le portail de style classique a été refait en 1696. Il est surmonté d'une grande rosace de style gothique flamboyant surmontée elle-même par une rosace plus petite.
Goldfinch. Manchester city centre.
I created this image near the river Irwell and outside the Lowry hotel which in reality is in Salford and not Manchester. The Irwell is the border between Manchester and Salford.
Goldfinches often feed on thistles which it is alleged were used to make the crown of thorns in the passion of Jesus Christ. The bird also appears in many images of the Madonna and Child, maybe as a portent of what is to come for the fated child. For myself, a confirmed atheist, I do not believe in all this religious nonsense any more than I believe James Bond to be a real character.
Notwithstanding the above ....Happy Easter (or Eastre)

The National Museum of History is the historical museum of Albania in Tirana. It was opened in October 1981.
An interesting element of this museum is a large mosaic above the entrance, which is supposed to depict alleged ancient and modern figures from the history of Albania. The museum presents the following pavilions; Pavilion of Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Independence, Iconography, National Anti-Fascist Liberation War, Communist Terror and Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Here's another test after I had my 100-400 repaired for alleged softness, especially at the long end of the focal length. Better light to show off the intricacy of the feathers. This bird was mean, by the way. It had a couple of buddies too, and I kept trying to kneel to get closer to their eye level. No chance, it kept coming right at me, I knew it would nip at me for sure so I had to keep getting up and backing off. Eventually, it lightened up. Check it large - lens definitely can do "sharp".

Međugorje, or Medjugorje is a town located in the Herzegovina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, around 25 km (16 mi) southwest of Mostar and close to the border of Croatia. The town is part of the municipality of Čitluk. Since 1981, it has become a popular site of Catholic pilgrimage due to reports of alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary to six local children.

La tour César, tour cylindrique du XIIIe siècle, symbolisait l’allégeance du vicomté à la Couronne. Elle servait aussi de tour de guet et de relais pour envoyer des signaux.
On accède à son sommet par un escalier à vis, pourvu d’une rampe bienvenue, pour y bénéficier d’un très large et étonnant panorama.
The Caesar Tower, a 13th-century cylindrical tower, symbolized the viscounty's allegiance to the Crown. It also served as a watchtower and relay to send signals.

I composed this image earlier this year while visiting Arizona. It pictures one of the Superstition Mountains, a prominent volcanic, 6,266-foot mountain range in Arizona.
The area is known for rugged, scenic, and sometimes dangerous terrain, and is shrouded in mystery, with many legends surrounding lost gold mines (specifically the Peralta and Lost Dutchman mines) and alleged supernatural occurrences. Many hikers have disappeared in these mountains.
L’architecture : L’église, placée sous le vocable de Saint Martin et d’implantation romane (XIIème siècle) a été remaniée au XIXème siècle. Son plan est rectangulaire avec chevet en hémicycle. Elle est construite en petites pierres « cassées et allongées » de calcaire ocre-rouge du Mâconnais. L’abside est voûtée en cul-de-four et couverte de lauzes.
La travée du chœur est plus longue que large (6.65 x 5.30m). Les murs nord et sud sont, allégées par deux arcs latéraux. La travée était autrefois éclairée par deux petites fenêtres, une sous chaque arc, actuellement obturées.. Elle a pu en effet être refaite au moment de la reconstruction du clocher.

Arguably the longest river in the world, the Amazon meanders its way from the towering Andes in Peru to the sweeping coastline of Brazil, where it empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River and its tributaries is located in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil. The entire river measures over 4,000 miles from its source to the river mouth. However, the exact length of the Amazon is arguable as the location of its start and end points have both been disputed historically. The Amazon River is currently alleged to be 6,992 kilometers long.*

Newburgh Priory is a charming old Augustinian Priory and the alleged resting place for the body of Oliver Cromwell, minus his head. Originally founded in 1145 on land granted by William the Conqueror, sold for £1,062 by Henry VIII to a chaplain in 1549, when it then became a private residence. Newburgh Priory has retained its tudor charm and is still a family home. With intriguing ceramics and incredible architecture, discover more about the house history including the “cursed” wing and links to Cromwell.
Stroll around the herbaceous borders in the walled garden or enjoy topiary, lakes and trees planted by royalty, which are key features around the grounds. Newburgh Priory is a hidden gem in the heart of the Howardian Hills with sweeping views over towards the White Horse of Kilburn.
About less than an hour's drive east of Phoenix Arizona lies the Superstition Mountains which is the alleged location of the lost Dutchman mine. The story starts with a man named Jacob Waltz who come out these mountains with gold he said he got from a mine he found but died not long afterwards taking the secret of it's location to his grave. One must remember that less than ten miles away the town of Goldfield had an operating goldmine that extracted enough gold to be worth hundreds of millions in todays dollars. So that there was another nearby motherload of gold was nearby was quite believable. Some men over years have come out with some gold claiming they found the lost mine but these turned out not to be true. With gold now worth $1300 an ounce today the allure of lost treasure will still excite people today. The legend of the mine faded from public view until 1931 when the amateur explorer and treasure hunter Adolph Ruth disappeared until months later a skull was found with two bullet holes in it and dental records provided a positive match. You would think someone getting murdered would deter people instead it had the opposite effect with area being flooded with wannabe treasure hunters and less than savory types heavily armed going into the mountains reported. The state designated the area a state park with anyone caught trying prospecting subject to swift arrest. Considering Arizona's penal system known for it's alleged inhumane prison system where many inmates live in unairconditioned cells or tents in the brutal summer heat which is a long discussion in itself is enough to discourage 99% would be treasure hunters.
Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an alleged ape-like creature purportedly inhabiting forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. Many believers in its existence contend that the same or similar creatures are found around the world under different regional names, most prominently the Yeti of the Himalayas.
The scientific community considers Bigfoot to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoaxes

Taken in Berkeley Castle, a well-preserved fortress in Gloucestershire that has been, and still is the home of the Berkeley family for over 850 years. Th place rich in history, traditions, intrigues and of an alleged murder of King Edward II. It has wonderful garden with numerous rose varieties though many are not at their best now. Splendid place to visit with plenty of interest and activities for kids, and for adults.
Thank you for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.
This is a new image that I have posted today. A previous image that I posted three years ago has been published in articles in Milan.
The Galleria is often nicknamed il salotto di Milano (Milan's drawing room), due to its numerous shops and importance as a common Milanese meeting and dining place.
As of 2013, the arcade principally contains luxury retailers selling haute couture, jewelry, books and paintings, as well as restaurants, cafés, and bars. The Galleria is famous for being home to some of the oldest shops and restaurants in Milan, such as Biffi Caffè (founded in 1867 by Paolo Biffi, pastry chef to the monarch), the Savini restaurant and the Art Nouveau classic Camparino in Galleria.
In 2012, a McDonald's restaurant was prevented from renewing its tenancy, after 20 years of occupancy. The restaurant contended that it was the only tenant to be denied the right of first refusal on its new lease, and that the public tender to replace it was "unfair". McDonald's sued the landlord—the city of Milan—for €24 million in damages, alleging that the loss of the lease will deprive McDonald's of €6 million per year in sales. During its last few hours of operation, the restaurant offered free food and drink to over 5000 customers. The McDonald's restaurant was replaced with the gallery's second Prada store. McDonald's renounced its suit against the City of Milan after receiving the opportunity to open a new restaurant in a nearby area.

In the 1st district of Vienna. This alley named Judengasse after the Jewish merchants, who used to have their shops there, looks picturesque and harmless during the day. But it's also part of a quarter, which is called "Bermudadreieck" ("Bermuda Triangle") because of its nightlife with lots of bars and clubs and the alleged dangers of spending the night there.
Here's that "mediocre" H19 consist I mentioned in my previous post. While 471 was getting their paperwork sorted out and the alleged car accident investigated, we ended up chasing this guy up river a ways. Here we see them yanking on their train at Minnesota City while 471 sits on the right. From here, H19 would head up to Weaver for a 3-way meet setup by our favorite CP dispatcher.
Back then, H19/H20 rated pure sets of second gen EMDs. So the whining about the two GEs (hey look a blue one!) was almost justified. But since the light was good, we put our reservations aside and wound up with several nice frames of him. All in all, it ended up being well worth the effort. Funny; the things you think are lame at the time end up being pretty cool with enough retrospection. I think there is a lesson in there maybe, nah...

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of northwest Spain’s Galicia region. It’s known as the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, and the alleged burial site of the Biblical apostle St. James. His remains reputedly lie within the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela, consecrated in 1211, whose elaborately carved stone facades open onto grand plazas within the medieval walls of the old town.
