Here is my beautiful friend and soul sister Sandy who lives on top of a mountain in Wales. She is the most beautiful friend a man can have and she is so gifted.She is a medium oh so rare! She lives not far from where merlin had a castle called Dynas Bran.

My phone didn't make a single noise today. So this is what I did instead. Took a photo of my strat, and played the dickens out of it. Recorded some new riffs as well.

First thing that came to mind when I saw those new gold dome pieces: Holy Hand Grenade.

The Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia in Valencia, Spain, claims to hold the original Holy Grail used by Christ at the Last Supper.

I found myself suddenly caught off guard as the door swung open. I'd entered the Chapel to take a look around as the windows had looked very colourful from the outside.

I was unsure why, but I had a strong urge to hide as I heard what seemed like two pairs of heavy boots striding towards me. Being partly hidden behind the pulpit, I pulled myself quietly down behind the choir stalls just in time.

Two men began to discuss something.

"Do you have it?", said the first.

"Yes, here," replied the second.

I could see through a hole in the choir stall that they were knights and under their weather worn cloaks was armour bearing a red cross on a white background.

"We must hide it before we take it to the safety of the Abbot's keeping in Glastonbury. We cannot travel with it today, as I fear that they'll find us and take it."

"Yes," was the simple reply.

I heard them moving something that sounded heavy, made of stone, but I couldn't see what it was. Then they moved it again, and made their way out of the Chapel.

I waited what seemed like an age before I felt I could escape, and left as quickly as I could. I knew someone could be watching and I might be in grave danger, but I made my way out of the Chapel and into the trees behind it. No one came after me.

Took this in Colijnsplaat, which is a nice village -- otherwise...

After 3 nights in Edinburgh we left for our next destination: Cameron House in Alexandria at Loch Lomond. We were scheduled to stay there 5 nights. For starters we’d explore Glagow from there and do some hikes in the neighbourghood. But first we had a couple of stops on our way from Edinburgh to Cameron House on our schedule. The first one was just outside Edinburgh: Rosslyn Chapel. The chapel is famous for its intricate stone carvings, rich history, and connection to various legends and mysteries. It dates back to the 15th century and is renowned for its elaborate Gothic architecture. The chapel gained widespread attention after being featured in Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code," which sparked interest in its alleged connections to the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail – Rosslyn Chapel, Roslin, Scotland, UK

Legends galore here. This particular shot is of where legend has it, that the Holy Grail was hidden for a while in a cave at Hawkstone and where King Arthur and also Merlin had castles hidden from view.

This shot was taken for A1 Extoics Magazine, which included a Porsche 918 and Mclaren P1. The full photoshoot will be published in their next issue.

They say he was once a sea captain too, an explorer and adventurer... until a fateful voyage and a terrible discovery saw him consumed by madness. But in that broken still lurks knowledge and secrets which the glint of a coin will sometimes loosen... but there is no knowing exactly what will be unlocked...

Also the Castle of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh, of course.

The Chapter House of the Cathedral of Valencia, now known as the Holy Grail Chapel, holds a small amber chalice dating back to the first century BC, which is believed to have been used at the Last Supper.

The word Montserrat, means "jagged or serrated mountain" in Catalan. The mountain is also called "La muntanya dels cent cims" (The mountain of 100 peaks) and is composed of strikingly pink conglomerate, a form of sedimentary rock, popular with climbers. The summit of Montserrat is called Sant Jeroni (Saint Jerome) and stands at 1,236 meters (4,055 feet) above the valley floor. Montserrat, is the highest point of the Catalan lowlands, and stands central to the most populated part of Catalonia, not so far from Barcelona...

 

Nestled between the peaks for centuries the famous Benedictine abbey Santa Maria de Montserrat. "Monestir de Montserrat" (Monastery of Montserrat) is the center of the Catalan faith. Charles V and his son King Philip II of Spain died holding blessed candles from Montserrat in their hands. The Monastery contains and protects "La Moreneta", named also the Black Virgin of Montserrat and her sanctuary. The mountains were associated in the Middle Ages with Parsifal's search for the Holy Grail in the legends of King Arthur, which was kept in a mountaintop castle called Montsalvat, even famous German composer Wagner set his opera "Parsifal" there...

 

According to legend La Moreneta was carved by St. Luke and brought to Montserrat by St. Peter in 50 AD, then hidden from the moors in the Santa Cova (holy cave) just down the mountain from the monastery. By the late 1100s, a new wooden sculpture of the miraculous image was made, and it is this Romanesque statue that pilgrims are familiar with today. In 1522, St. Ignatius of Loyola came in pilgrimage, and made the decision to abandon his former life as a warrior, leaving his sword as an offering to Our Lady of Montserrat and settling for some time in the nearby town of Manresa as he discerned his vacation and wrote his Spiritual Exercises. The old church was replaced with an enormous transitional late Gothic/Renaissance-style basilica in 1592, and this building stood until much of it was destroyed by the armies of a retreating Napoleon in 1811. Fortunately, the monks managed to hide the image of Our Lady of Montserrat so that it was not destroyed along with the rest of the abbey. In 1880, Our Lady of Montserrat was officially declared to be Patroness of Catalonia by Leo XIII. In more recent times, Pope John Paul II came to Montserrat on pilgrimage in 1982, to pray before the image of the Black Madonna...

Verschiedene Versionen der Legende vom Heiligen Gral sehen im Gral ein wundertätiges Gefäß, das mit jenen Rittern in Verbindung steht, die nach diesem Gral und damit letztlich nach Erlösung suchen. Der Gral wurde als der Kelch verstanden, den Jesus Christus beim letzten Abendmahl mit seinen Jüngern benutzt und in dem Josef von Arimathäa das Blut Christi unter dessen Kreuz aufgefangen haben soll, wie schon früh in apokryphen Schriften berichtet wurde. Der Gral stellt sich damit als eine der wichtigsten der zahlreichen Reliquien dar. Das Foto zeigt den gotischen Kapitelsaal der Kathedrale von València, wo der Gral bzw. Heilige Kelch (spanisch Santo Cáliz) seit 1506 aufbewahrt wird.

 

Various versions of the legend of the Holy Grail see the Grail as a miraculous vessel associated with the knights who search for this Grail and thus ultimately for redemption. The Grail was understood to be the chalice that Jesus Christ used at the Last Supper with his disciples and in which Joseph of Arimathea is said to have collected the blood of Christ under his cross, as was reported early on in apocryphal writings. The Grail is therefore one of the most important of the numerous relics. The photo shows the Gothic chapter house of the Cathedral in València, where the Holy Grail or Holy Chalice (Santo Cáliz in Spanish) has been kept since 1506.

A modern version of the myth of Marie Magdalena.

In conjunction with elements of eva in paradise and the pope.

The church tells your story. But this is the truth?

Who are you really? The wife of jesus? Or even the holy grail?

The truth will probably remain hidden forever. But should they reveal the humanity in general?

I was hiking in an area called Durwards Glen and came across this. Could this be the lost Knights Templar Baptismal font?

A Knight from the Order of the Knights Templar (Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, mainly known as the Knights Templar) kneels before the Holy Grail in prayer after a battle.
