Given the name Chain Rock because it once held one end of a heavy chain across the entrance to St. John's Harbour. First used back in 1673 during the Anglo-Dutch war to prevent Dutch pirate ships from entering the harbour and attacking the city. Today it is easily noticed by the white pyramid with a red top mounted on top of it to mark it's location for ships.

Named "Chaining Squares". There are 4 squares per 1 color. And there are 3 colors. So it is "3×4 Squares".

I'm gonna put another quote which can be interpreted in different ways. But today is a special day, and I have it here in a reference to this particular day. Ask me if you are interested what I meant. Here it is. "It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."
With the open gate of Howth Castle in the background these ornate fence posts and star shaped chain in the foreground the place is a mix of secure and welcoming:-)

Update: 5D is still sick. Mirror fell down. Extended warranty will cover all the repairs. I might not get it on time for my San Francisco trip at the end of this month. I'm in the market for a replacement. I was too late to respond to an offer for a 5D II for 2Gs. :(
Any idea what group I should add this to? Thanks.

Chained Rock a link to Kentucky's lore
Visitors love Chained Rock at Pine Mountain, Kentucky's first state park, established in 1924. The way the story goes, area residents told children and visitors that the rock, clearly visible from the town, could not fall because it was chained in place. That, however, was not true.
Then, in 1933, the rock was chained to the nearby cliff in a publicity stunt that attracted widespread media attention. The move created a first-rate tourist attraction.
The steel chain is 101 feet long, spans 75 feet and weighs 1 1/2 tons. Each 4- by 6-inch link weighs 4 1/2 pounds. They are made of steel and are 1 3/8 inches thick.
The chain, acquired from a quarry in Virginia, was moved up the mountain by mules, Kiwanis Club members, local Boy Scouts and the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The half-mile walk from Overlook Point to Chained Rock is a deceptively easy downhill hike. The return climb is steadily uphill, with 300 feet of elevation gain, and may be tough for some.
The overlook offers an eagle's-eye view of Pineville and U.S. 25E, which runs along the old Wilderness Road used by Daniel Boone and other early settlers.
The park, in Bell County, is 16 miles north of Cumberland Gap National Historic Park.
Though the clientele at Obica Mozzarella Bar seemed to consist largely of foreigners and tourists, who cares. The food was wonderful and without doubt presented the best foot forward for Tuscan cuisine on our trip.
I'm not sure though why the wine cellar had to be under lock and key. I guess it has something to do with the fact that the wine is accessed by the same path that everyone takes to go to the bathroom.

This origami chain is my new origami model. It's made entirely with folded copy paper (no tape, no glue), and it can be used to lift as much as 18 kilograms / 35 pounds!
