Devetashka - the Bulgarian Cave with 70,000 Years of Human Habitation
Devetashka cave is an enormous cave in Bulgaria, which has provided shelter for groups of humans since the late Paleolithic era, and continuously for tens of thousands of years since then. Now abandoned by humans, it remains a site of national and international significance and is home to some 30,000 bats.
Devetashka cave, which is known as Devetàshka peshterà in Bulgaria, is located roughly 18 kilometres north of Lovech, near the village of Devetaki. It is a karst cave formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks and characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems.
The cave itself is immense, measuring approximately 2 kilometres in length and with a huge entrance ‘hall’ measuring 60 metres in height. In places the ceiling is 100 metres above the ground and there are seven huge holes through which daylight illuminates the vast interior. It is these holes that earned the cave the name Maarata or Oknata ("the eyes").
About 200 meters from the entrance, the cave separates into two branches. On the left side, a small river runs along it, forming miniature lakes and waterfalls, passing through the main hall and eventually flowing into the Osam River. The right side is warm and dry and contains several chambers, ending with a round hall, known as the Altar. Beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, rivulets, majestic natural domes and arches can be found within the enormous cave and one can see why various human populations would have chosen Devetashka as their home.
Devetashka Cave was rediscovered by a Bulgarian scientist in 1921 but was not fully excavated until the 1950s when the intention was to transform the cave into a giant warehouse. Studies revealed that it has been inhabited almost continuously since the late Paleolithic era. The earliest traces of human presence date back to the middle of the Early Stone Age around 70,000 years ago. The Devetashka cave also contained one of the richest sources of cultural artifacts from the Neolithic (6th millennium - 4th millennium B C).
In June, 1996, Devetashka Cave was declared a natural landmark. The cave is probably best known for its part in the action movie ‘The Expendables 2’, filmed in 2011, in which Sylvester Stallone crash lands a plane into Jean Claude Van Damme’s subterranean lair.

Ancienne habitation sucrière depuis la colonisation, c'est aujourd'hui, c'est aujourd'hui une distillerie qui produit les rhums Clément et un site historique et culturel .
Un beau champignon. Peut-être pleurote du chêne.? Si quelqu'un connaît ce champignon, je suis preneur
A beautiful mushroom. Maybe oak oyster mushroom.? If anyone knows this mushroom, I'm interested.

The features represented are indeed those of Yoona , an old person, first appeared in 1999 at the European House of Photography in Paris.
Perhaps the best preserved of all stone built sheepfold bields in the Yorkshire Dales and a very fine advertisement for Swaledale as it is either the first or last sign of human habitation to be seen on the road from upper Swaledale to Nateby in Cumbria
I think the factory where I work has a grunge spaceship sort of vibe. Like in the first Alien movie. I know, I am weird like that. I am a Sci fi freak.
Happy Slider Sunday
It's not a huge surprise that there are habitations at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Before the medieval period mermaids were seen by many cultures around the world as terrifying, scary beings. Sailors originally described them as a complete fish body with a human or monster heads until eventually they evolved into beautiful sirens luring men to their doom. Some people have linked the mysterious Oarfish to these legends which adds to the overall fascination with mermaids into the 21st century.

A sparrow's portrait. The bird reminds us of the psalm 104:
“By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing…”
Jeremiah 9:10 “For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast have fled; they are gone.”
In the alleys and behind high rise tenements of Hong Kong one sees an array of air cleaners, air filters and air conditioners that maintains a liveable standard of air into these tight surroundings.
Yep, thought I'd take another crack at Hibernia. So this time, I've built a reasonably sized habitation module, a place for citizens of Hibernia to call home.
So, what's inside? Well it's definitely got an interior, just can't see it for the walls. Imma upload a pic of the interior tomorrow, but you can rest assured it has all the mod-cons you could possibly want.
So as always, please lemme know what you think, and if you'd like to see more Hibernia stuff from me :D
