The existence of large basins in the sea, carved in the sandstone rock known as “pedra tosca”, and popularly called “Baños de la Reina”, have been responsible for naming the entire archaeological site.
Although these nurseries or "swimming pools" are related to the breeding of live fish, their possible use as a water garden for the contemplation of marine beauty is not ruled out, like other high imperial "villae" of the Tyrrhenian, where these facilities , expensive to build and costly to maintain, were also a sign of the power and social prestige of its owner.
La existencia de unas grandes cubetas dentro del mar, talladas en la roca arenisca conocida como “pedra tosca”, y denominadas popularmente “Baños de la Reina”, han sido las responsables de dar nombre a todo el enclave arqueológico.
Si bien estos viveros o "piscinae" están relacionados con la cría del pescado vivo, no se descarta su posible uso como jardín acuático destinado a la contemplación de la belleza marina, al igual que otras "villae" alto imperiales del Tirreno, donde estas instalaciones, de cara construcción y costoso mantenimiento, constituían además una muestra del poder y prestigio social de su propietario.

December in the California desert is an awesome time if you can stand the extreme weather. It can be cold, windy and raining at the same time while taking photos.

Its existence dates back to the late 15th century when the menacing pirate raids were incessant. In that era the Cycladic islands were under the rule of the Franks. The castle stood at the top of the settlement in order to serve as an observation point. It was very well fortified and there were remarkable residences inside, which belonged to the Venetian rulers.
The port of Teignmouth, in existence since the 13th century, remains active, mostly handling clay, timber and grain.
The Old Quay was built in the mid-18th century on land leased from Lord Clifford. The opening of the Stover Canal by James Templer in 1792 provided a boost to the port due to the ease with which ball clay could be transported from the mines north of Newton Abbot. After travelling along the canal the barges continued down the estuary to the port. By 1820 this trade was supplemented by granite from the quarries near Haytor on Dartmoor carried via the unique granite-tracked Haytor Granite Tramway which was linked to the Stover Canal. The granite to build the new London Bridge came via this route and was sent from the New Quay, which had been built for this traffic in 1821–25 by George Templer, James's son.
The Old Quay was sold to George Hennet in 1850 and became the centre of his trading network. It was connected to the South Devon Railway the previous year.

In my existence,,i realized that happiness is a very subjective factor in one's life...
Being happy doesnt depend on achieving what you want; it is makin the best out of what is given....
Life isnt fair,,it never was...
the only thing that can make you completely happy is contentment...
be contented of what you have ,,but be sure to aim high and never stop believing you can do better everytime...
but if all else fails,,dont forget that an ordinary you has an extraordinary God to back you up...:)

Just a little fun with philosophy :)
"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you stare at the abyss, the abyss will sure as hell stare back at you."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A cheery, humorous, slightly altered and horribly misinterpreted portrayal of a fairly dark passage and theme from the German philosopher (and moustache legend), Friedrich Nietzsche.

One of the most relaxing things for me it's to be on a big beach with no one else. Just the sound of the waves...
Today was the time of one of those moments.
Into the motion of life. The never stopping wheel of destiny and fate. Sometimes not such a linear path. Yet the freedoms we need for love and peace.
Happy Slider Sunday
Did you ever have one of those days where you are doing your thing and random people decide your mere existence is a problem for them so they decide to take potshots either directly or indirectly, and even though you know in your heart of hearts the problem is not you because you have not done anything, you still feel like a toad? Did that ever happen so many times in one day you are sure you need to light a candle or say some magic words to make it all go away?
Me too.
The obvious solution for me is to not be around people and this beautiful spot at Nelipot is perfect. In fact, the whole sim is lovely and unspoiled with the dramatic affairs of humans. My kind of perfect.
Per ricordarci che nulla è scontato, che anche le piccole, trascurabili cose hanno il loro posto e la loro funzione nel complesso meccanismo dell'esistenza.
To remember taking nothing for granted and realize that even minor, little things have their place and importance in the existence fragile balance.

“Once you accept the existence of God, however you define Him, however you explain your relationship to Him, then you are caught forever with His presence in the center of all things."
The tradition of the Fathers has never admitted the existence of a material world apart from a larger creation, from a spiritual universe. To speak more precisely, for them the world, a whole and a unity, is inseparably matter and spirit. What we call the material world is only the reflection of a reflection. . . . It is, as it were, the fringe of their garment: the waves of its light are like the scintillating robe with which the Creator has been pleased to adorn his invisible creation.
-Louis Bouyer, The Meaning of the Monastic Life (London: Burnes & Oates, 1955), 28.
The love of money is the root of all evil. That is the fundamental truth that I have verified through 3 decades of empirical, investigative, legal, academic research trying to answer some fundamental questions about human existence and why we behave the way we do, why we think the way we do, why we act the way we do...It is the love of money that has the potential to exterminate- to render extinct- the entire human race.
