I may be the stargazer who still hopes for you to enter my zodiac
But the lines between time have disappeared, lost forever in the fields of ages
Fire, walk through the flames of a time to come
I've seen your face in the blaze, comeforth my beloved evil one...
Take this black ribbon off my eyes
I want to see from where the sweet blood comes
I want to see the red running down your thighs
Please smear it into my eyes
Dark mistress in a daimonic disguise...
You looked at me hoping I was an angel underneath
But inside I am pure evil just like you
All the way from beneath
We are the same, one not two
Come on, let me hear you say it
Let me see you disgrace the feeble god above
Our name is a number - three times six
It's our ticket across the river styx
Trapped between blood-drenched thighs
Cure me, curse me. I don't care if I live or die
Is it the truth that is told in the tale
That your worthless soul is for sale?
For goldcoins more than twentyone
You'll become the bride of Satan
We are the ones you were afraid to see
Those you only read of in daimonology
We are the ones not afraid of your cross
We are the mighty, they are Abyssos
Wolves, vampires, satyrs, ghosts!
Elect of all the devilish hosts!
I pray you send hither, send hither
The great grey shapes that make men shiver!
We are the ones you were afraid to see
Those you only read of in daimonology
We are the ones not afraid of your cross
We are the mighty, they are Abyssos
Take this black ribbon off my eyes
I want to see from where the sweet blood comes
I want to see the red running down your thighs
You looked at me hoping I was an angel underneath
But inside I am pure evil just like you
All the way from beneath, we the one
Is it the truth that is told in the tale
That your worthless soul is for sale?
For goldcoins more than twentyone
You'll become the bride of Satan!

ENG: The Bode Museum, opened in 1904 as the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, is part of the Museum Island ensemble in Berlin and thus a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It houses the Sculpture Collection, the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Numismatic Collection. It was reopened on 17 October 2006 after almost six years of renovation and opened to the public on 19 October of the same year.
The Bode-Museum became doubtfully well-known during the night of 27 March 2017, when a "Big Maple Leaf Gold Coin" weighing around 100 kg was stolen from the exhibition. This loan from a private owner had a face value of around 1.0 million Canadian dollars, the material value at the time of the crime was around 3.8 million euros. The gold coin and the perpetrators have since disappeared and the coin was most likely melted down.
GER: Das Bode-Museum, 1904 als Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum eröffnet, gehört zum Ensemble der Museumsinsel in Berlin und damit zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO. Es beherbergt die Skulpturensammlung und das Museum für Byzantinische Kunst sowie das Münzkabinett. Am 17. Oktober 2006 wurde es nach knapp sechsjähriger Renovierung wiedereröffnet und am 19. Oktober desselben Jahres der Öffentlichkeit übergeben.
Zu zweifelhafter Bekanntheit kam das Bode-Museum in der Nacht auf den 27. März 2017, da wurde eine rund 100 kg schwere „Big-Maple-Leaf-Goldmünze“ aus der Ausstellung gestohlen. Diese Leihgabe eines privaten Eigentümers hatte einen Nennwert von rund 1,0 Million kanadische Dollar, der Materialwert zum Tatzeitpunkt rund 3,8 Millionen Euro. Die Goldmünze sowie die Täter sind seitdem verschwunden und die Münze wurde aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach eingeschmolzen.
The theme for this week’s “Smile on Saturday” is “spinning around” in which I needed to catch a spinning action or the impression of movement in a circle in my photo.
I know it may not be the most original of ideas, but I took out a newly minted one Australian dollar coin which was wonderfully bright, and I spun it on my maternal Grandfather’s chess board. Luckily, I seem to have the knack for spinning coins. I had quite a bit of fun spinning the coin over and over, trying to catch its spinning movement in the light pouring through the window. I came out with a few shots I was happy with, but this was the standout with the spinning coin becoming a golden orb or a ghostly golden ball. I will leave the interpretation to you, however I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it brings a smile to your face, as it did mine taking it!
The chessboard was made by my Grandfather, a skilful and creative man in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died a few years ago.

The summers of my childhood I spent on the island to the left. Nowadays overexploited and I prefer the serenity and solarity of not crowded beaches and shores and there are luckily plenty of them by this lake and all the other 1000s and 1000s. Miles and miles along the coast of the sea too!

King Brian is the 5,000 year old king of the leprechauns in the 1959 Disney film, "Darby O'Gill and the Little People." He lives in the Fairy Mountain, under the ruins of Knocknasheega, where he guards all of the greatest treasures of Irish history and myth. I decided it was only fitting to honor the tiny King with this special salute to all the wonderful things about Ireland with just a touch of my own "writers and artists liberty" thrown in just for fun.
My wife grows Epiphyllum Flowers, and every year that we're in town we go to the annual Epiphyllum show put on by the San Diego Epiphyllum Society in Balboa Park. This is from last Mothers' Day.
There is no room for a tripod in the room where most of the plants are, so my wife was my voice activated light stand and held a manual Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box just out of the frame at camera left. The flash was triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1500 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Other Epiphyllym flower pictures that I've posted on Flickr can be seen in my Epiphyllum Flowers album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157680754580643

Original line from Treasure Island:
"Fifteen men on The Dead Man's Chest--
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
Theme expanded in 1891 in a poem by Y.E. Allison:
Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest—
Drink and the devil had done for the rest—
The mate was fixed by the bos'n's pike,
The bos'n brained with a marlin spike,
And Cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped
By fingers ten;
And there they lay,
All good dead men
Like break-o'-day in a boozing-ken—
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!

Just a tiny fraction of the vast Leprechaun treasure that awaits those lucky enough to follow the rainbow to its end.
With all the St. Patrick's day parades and festivals being canceled and the pubs being locked down due to the Pandemic, I decided it was only fitting to honor the Little People and their tiny King Brian with this special salute to all things Irish!
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
Edward IV Medieval English Gold Angel Coin
Mint Period: 1477-1480
Obverse: Winged standing figure of Saint Michael spearing dragon.
Legend: EDWARD D GRA REX ANGL FRANC DNS HB ("Edward by the Grace of God King of England and France, Lord of Ireland.")
The Angel is a gold coin introduced into England by Edward IV in 1465 as a new issue of the Noble, thus is was first called the “angel-noble”. It is based on the French coin known as the Angelot or Ange, which had been issued since 1340. It varied in value between that period and the time of Charles I, when it was last coined in 1642 from 6s. 8d. to 11s. The name was derived from the representation it bore of the Archangel Saint Michael.
The angel was such an iconic coin that many English pubs were named after it. The Angel Inn in Islington (after which the Angel tube station is named) was one of these. The angel was traditionally given to sufferers of the disease known as king’s evil, in a mediaeval ceremony intended to heal them with the “royal touch”. After it was no longer minted, medals with the same device, called touch-pieces, were given instead.
Edward IV (28 April 1442 – 9 April 1483) was King of England from 4 March 1461 until 3 October 1470, and again from 11 April 1471 until his death in 1483. He was the first Yorkist King of England. The first half of his rule was marred by the violence associated with the Wars of the Roses, but he overcame the Lancastrian challenge to the throne at Tewkesbury in 1471 to reign in peace until his sudden death. Before becoming king he was 4th Duke of York, 7th Earl of March, 5th Earl of Cambridge and 9th Earl of Ulster. He was also the 65th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

French coins always have cool designs and this is a good example. These coins, however, are not made out of silver. They are copper-nickel. Many of these coins have a B mint mark for the Beaumont mint. If you can find a coin dated 1958 without a B mint mark, as this one is, it is rare.
Obverse : Laureate Bust of Marianne, facing right with flaming torch on right hand; "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE".
Reverse : 100 FRANCS in two lines at left (date) with cornucopia at left and wing at right, ears and olive branches below right, R.COCHET; "LIBERTE-EGALITE-FRATERNITE".
Marianne has been the national personification of the French Republic since the French Revolution, as a personification of liberty, equality, fraternity and reason, and a portrayal of the Goddess of Liberty.
