Supper at Emmaus (1606) is a painting by the Italian master Caravaggio, housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera (Sala XXIX), Milan.
In the collection of Marchese Patrizi by 1624 and possibly commissioned by him, references by Caravaggio's early biographers Giulio Mancini and Giovanni Bellori suggest it was painted in the few months after May 1606 when the artist was in hiding on the estates of Prince Marzio Colonna following the death of Ranuccio Tomassoni (see main article, Caravaggio), although it may also have been painted in Rome earlier in the year - the innkeeper's wife seems to be the same as the model for Saint Anne in Madonna and Child with St. Anne of 1605, although given the almost complete echoing of pose and lighting, she may have been done from memory.
The painting inevitably invites comparison with the National Gallery version of the same subject: the expansive theatrical gestures have become understated and natural, the shadows are darkened, and the colours muted although still saturated. The effect is to emphasize presence more than drama. Some details - the ear of the disciple on the right, the right hand of the innkeeper's wife - remain badly drawn, but there is a fluidity in the handling of the paint which was to increase in Caravaggio's post-Roman work as his brushwork became increasingly calligraphic. The artist may have had problems working out his composition - the innkeeper's wife looks like a last-minute addition. Neither she nor the innkeeper are mentioned in the Gospel of Luke 24:28-32, but had been introduced by Renaissance painters to act as a foil to the amazement of the two disciples as they recognise the resurrected Christ.
By 1816 Betts and his immediate family were experiencing serious financial difficulties and while it is not known when or where he died, property originally owned by him was certainly for sale by 1825 when the area’s second citizen of note arrived from Scotland by way of Blackville. Robert Doak (b. April 4, 1785) had been born in Ochiltree, Ayshire, the son of Agnes (Duncan) and Robert Doak, Senior. In 1808, he married Jane Kirkland and in 1815 when he was only 30, he and his family arrived on the Miramichi where he worked for several years as an innkeeper. In 1818, however, his elder brother James and his family joined Robert on the Miramichi. The brothers formed a partnership with Alexander MacLaggan who was operating a sawmill in Blackville. In the early 1820s, while continuing their partnership with MacLaggan, the Doak brothers moved twenty miles up river where their father, Robert Doak, Senior, had recently settled. Here in what was to become known as “Doaktown,” they acquired a considerable amount of property (some of it from the family of Ephraim Betts) and established water-powered carding and grist mills, a sawmill, an oat mill, and an extensive farming operation.
Robert Doak, rather than his elder brother James, became the settlement’s leading citizen, serving not only as the community’s largest employer but also as a School Trustee, Town Clerk, Clerk of the Market and Justice of the Peace. Such was his prominence that he became known far and wide as “Squire” Doak.
The inn is a hotel and complex of cottages on Highway 1 near Gualala California. Topped with onion-shaped domes, its wooden-shingle buildings pay homage to the Russian fur traders who came to the area in 1812 and established a settlement at Fort Ross. The designs are the creation of Eric Black, one of the innkeepers. His colleagues include Ted Black and chef Rosemary Campiformio, who -notes - forages for mushrooms for her guests.
The property began as a seaside hotel in 1929. Eric Black and his partners bought it in 1971, and began to rebuild the next year using salvaged redwood and Douglas fir. There are currently eight rooms in the hotel, where the restaurant is located, as well as five meadow cottages and seven creekside cottages along St. Orres Creek. (The creek's slightly altered name came from the George St. Ores family, who emigrated from Nova Scotia and settled the area in the 1870s.)
A veces a los pajareros nos apetece buscar y aportar recursos propios para conseguir tomas algo diferentes de nuestros amigos alados. Este es un caso en el que el posadero utilizado cumplió su objetivo. Para el que lo desconozca, es un recurso habitual situar posaderos en zonas de cría de abejarucos. Estos les facilitan su lanzamiento para la captura de los insectos de los que se alimentan y, además, son muy apreciados como perchas para cortejar a sus parejas.

Sometimes we bird photographers like to find and contribute our own resources to get slightly different shots of our winged friends. This is a case where the innkeeper used met his objective. For those who do not know it, it is a common resource to place innkeepers in bee-eaters breeding areas. These facilitate their launching to capture the insects on which they feed and, in addition, they are highly appreciated as hangers to woo their girlfriends.

In the St. Marx Cemetary (German: Sankt Marxer Friedhof, also called Biedermeierfriedhof St. Marx), which was used from 1784 until 1874 and is a park now. It's located in Landstraße, the 3rd district of Vienna.
On the tombstone on the left we are told that the lard dealer and landlord Michael Schaller died on January 20 1867 at the age of 80, one month after his 70-year-old wife Anna. He had married her, when she was a widow. Her son, Michael Schaller's stepson Friedrich Kaden, died 15 days after his mother had died at the age of 37. Thus there were three deaths in this family in a period of one month.
The persons mentioned on the tombstone in the middle died much younger than Mr. Schaller and his wife. The innkeeper's wife Marie Schmidtleitner died in 1862 at the age of 21. On August 4 1866 a one-year-old boy with the name Franz Schmidtleitner died. On March 9 1869 the innkeeper Franz Schmidtleitner died at the age of 51. He was in all probability the boy's father, but who was the boy's mother?
On the tombstone on the right we are told that in 1862 the parents of Adolf and Aloisia Plischke lost their three-year old son and their one-year-old daughter within five days. Perhaps the two children died of smallpox. In the 18th century lots of people, mostly children, died of this disease during epidemics. With the introduction of smallpox vaccine at the beginning of the 19th century the disease was reduced considerably. But it wasn't defeated for good, because there was much skepticism and fear in connection with vaccination among Vienna's population. From 1830 until 1860 there were several smaller smallpox epidemics in the city, but in the 1860s the number of deaths began to increase strongly again. After the smallpox pandemic at the beginning of the 1870s, which caused 3,334 deaths in the city in the year 1872 and 1,410 deaths in 1873, cumpulsory vaccination for school children was introduced. Thus the disease was virtually vanquished by the end of the century.
After a moderately unsuccessful effort to photograph seabirds at East Point, Prince Edward Island, I returned to my accommodations (the Singing Sands Inn - 2518 East Point Road - Highway 16) and began carrying stuff up to my room. It was near dark and I noticed a bird plucking insects around the inn's back veranda right outside my door. An Eastern Phoebe I thought, but binocularless I stepped closer to take a look. The back didn't look greenish at all so I peered more intently in the fading light. OMG it's got salmon flanks! It's a Say's Phoebe from far western North America!
I scrambled back to the car, grabbed my camera and followed the bird down to the inn's garden labyrinth. Say's Phoebes should not be in Prince Edward Island so I knew I needed to document the event. Cranking the ISO to 10,000 and handholding the 800mm lens I was able to secure a record shot (with confirmatory evidence that I didn't take the picture in Saskatchewan in the form of local signage). The innkeepers Alexandra and Don McCallum watched my efforts with interest and were fascinated by the special bird on their property. They indicated folks were welcome to look for the phoebe but that they should drop in to the reception first to let them know of their presence. I also let leading Island birder David Seeler know of the sighting. He offered his warm congratulations on the find, and passed along the news it was a first record for the province - bringing the total number of species seen on the island to 334.
The usual range of Say's Phoebe is western North America, breeding from Alaska down through the prairie provinces and states, and wintering towards Mexico. Sometimes young birds get mixed up in the fall and head east instead of south and end up in the Atlantic provinces. This one was at least 3,000 kilometres off course. Not great for the bird, but an exciting moment for bird watchers.
I searched for the phoebe briefly on the morning of August 30 but did not see it.
The John Barleycorn, a traditional thatched roof coaching Inn operating under the Greene King umbrella.
"John Barleycorn" is a common name given to alcohol, particularly barley-based alcoholic beverages such as beer and whisky. The term has its origins in traditional English folk songs and literature, where John Barleycorn is personified as a character who symbolizes the grain of barley used in brewing. The character is often depicted as undergoing various trials and tribulations, ultimately being sacrificed to produce alcoholic drinks. The term "John Barleycorn" is still occasionally used in modern contexts to refer to alcohol, although it is not as widely recognised as it once was.
A "coaching inn" is a type of historical pub or hotel that was popular in Britain and other parts of Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. These inns were strategically located along major travel routes, such as highways or stagecoach lines, and provided accommodations, food, and stabling for horses.
Coaching inns were essential for travelers during this time when long-distance journeys were slow and arduous. They served as resting places where travelers could rest, eat, and change horses or coaches. The accommodations provided by coaching inns varied in quality, ranging from simple and rustic rooms to more luxurious suites for wealthier guests.
In addition to offering lodging and food, coaching inns often had a tavern or pub on the premises where locals and travelers could gather to socialize, drink, and eat. These establishments became important meeting places for people from different backgrounds and were associated with lively and bustling atmospheres.
Coaching inns played a significant role in the economic development of towns and villages along major travel routes. They provided employment opportunities for locals as innkeepers, cooks, stable hands, and servants. Additionally, the amenities offered at coaching inns attracted business and trade, ultimately contributing to the growth of local economies.

Aldborough Roman Site contains the remains of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantium as well as an interesting museum looking at the history of the settlement.
Before the Roman occupation, the region in which modern Aldborough stands was ruled by the Celtic Brigantes. The Brigantes were one of the dominant tribes of the Iron Age in Britain, controlling the area which is now Yorkshire and Lancashire. At the time the Aldborough area was a Brigantian settlement called Iseur, however the Romans built their own settlement here and named the town Isurium Brigantium.
After the Roman invasion of Britain the Brigantes were initially compliant with Roman rule; 'Brigantia' became a client state. Indeed it was the Brigantes Queen Cartimunda who handed over a major adversary of Rome, the Catuvellauni chieftain Caratacus.
After Cartimunda divorced her husband, Venutius, in favour of his armour bearer, Venutius rebelled, and the Brigantian territories descended into civil war. Cartimunda was rescued by Roman aid. Soon after, however, the Romans took advantage of the unrest to take control of the region. In AD71, Petilius Cerialis, the Roman governor of Britain, subjugated the local population and established Isurium Brigantium as the headquarters for controlling the regional population.
In the beginning Isurium Brigantium would simply have been a fort, with a civilian population inhabiting the perimeter of the town. During the second century, the military capacity of the town was much reduced, and it established itself as a civilian centre. Approximately 55 acres in area, Isurium Brigantium was surrounded by a significant stone wall, reaching 12 feet in height, and in some parts, having a depth of 9 feet.
However, the town seems to have diminished during the later Empire period, and with the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain much of the original Roman town suffered.
Today, very little of the original Roman town remains, except for an area which is managed by English Heritage.
The entrance to Aldborough Roman Site is through an area close to the original Roman south gate. Visitors immediately arrive at the Aldborough Roman Museum, which has on display fascinating architectural finds from the town.
Some parts of the southern wall remain intact, as well as the foundations of two defensive towers. Visitors can also follow the path through the gardens to view the highlight of the site, two magnificent mosaics. The mosaics date from the second or third century AD, and were discovered in the nineteenth century, the first by accident when a calf was being buried by an innkeeper. This mosaic has sustained some damage, and depicts a lion resting under a tree. The second remains well preserved, and shows an eight sided star in the centre.
In 2011, scientists using geomagnetic sensors located the remains of the Roman amphitheatre at Aldborough, under Studforth Hill, just outside the village.
Ryrie’s is a little changed Edwardian public house which occupies a very prominent position at the junction of Haymarket, Dalry Road and Morrison Street in Edinburgh. It has Baronial details and a Scottish Renaissance style teak wooden pub frontage. The interior has attractive leaded and stained glass with lettering and a finely detailed carved gantry behind the bar.
Kirkwood's map of 1817 shows the earlier building on this site as the Haymarket Weigh House. In 1830 David Lawrie occupied this building as an Innkeeper. A few years later Henry Cochrane is listed as a Spirit Dealer at the same address. In 1842 the Edinburgh Glasgow Railway is completed and terminated behind the building. It is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as 'The Railway Inn' and occupied the whole of the current site.
The Haymarket Inn was built slightly West of the corner in 1862. The building now occupied by Ryrie’s would appear to have been rebuilt and baronialised in 1868 (the cast-iron hoppers bear this date) and some alterations were made to The Haymarket Inn at this date as well. By 1906 the two parts were linked as private and public bars of one property under the name The Haymarket Inn and the ground floor and interior rebuilt. The client for the 1906 work was Messrs Ryrie & Company, whisky merchants.
The architect for the 1906 refit, Robert McFarlane Cameron, was responsible for a number of fine pub interiors in Edinburgh, including The Guildford Arms, also part of the D M Stewart Ltd group. His practice was medium sized and very varied and ranged from churches and schools at one end to public houses and premises for the licensed trade at the other. He served as a bailie and magistrate of the city and was considered to be 'a firm friend of the Trade' and as such secured a number of commissions for re-fitting pubs. These became examples of what is now known as People’s Palaces.
George Morrison, a director of the nearby New Edinburgh Brewery at Slateford, owned by Thomas & James Bernard Ltd, became tenant in 1906. His widow acquired the heritable interest in the property and then her executry sold the public house to the Brewery. In turn, Scottish Brewers Ltd acquired Thomas & James Bernard Ltd in 1960. In the 1980s the large Ryrie’s and W M Younger’s Ales signs were placed on the gable ends of the property.
Further minor interior alterations in 1992 improved access around the bar, but left the majority of the original bar unchanged. Ownership of the property passed between large national Pubcos before being purchased by the Edinburgh family run pub company D M Stewart Ltd, which owns and operates some of the cities finest Victorian and Edwardian pubs.
Horse-drawn for-hire hackney carriage services began operating in both Paris and London in the early 17th century. The first documented public hackney coach service for hire was in London in 1605. In 1625 carriages were made available for hire from innkeepers in London and the first taxi rank appeared on the Strand outside the Maypole Inn in 1636.
Looking out from Glastonbury Tor towards Wearyall Hill in Glastonbury, Somerset.
Wearyall Hill is a long narrow ridge to the south west of Glastonbury. It's summit offers views across to Glastonbury Tor and the Somerset levels to one side, the town to another. It is on this hill that the legend of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn begins. The original was said to have blossomed from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea whom legend says came to Glastonbury after the crucifixion. Glastonbury was once an inland isle, surrounded by water and only connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. Visitors to the Isle could sail up the tidal river Brue and legend tells us that on arrival, Joseph planted his staff which took root and blossomed into the now world-famous Glastonbury Thorn.
Hearse’s History and Antiquities of Glastonbury (1722) describes a Mr. Eyston being given information on the Thorn by a local innkeeper: "I was told by the innkeeper where I set up my horses, who rents a considerable part of the enclosure of the late dissolved abbey, that St. Joseph of Arimathea landed not far from the town, at a place where there was an oak planted in memory of his landing, called the Oak of Avalon; that he and his companions marched thence to a hill near a mile on the south side of the town, and there being weary, rested themselves; which gave the hill the name of Weary-all-Hill; and Joseph on arrival, planted his staff in the ground and it immediately blossomed."

"Pulcinella versus the Clown"
Perhaps my favorite piece of street art I saw during one night in Naples, this delightfully describes Naples' relationship with and love of quality food. In all honestly, I was surprised at the number of McDonalds advertisements I saw in places like Rome. This piece of art is located across the street from Chiesa della Santa Croce di Lucca.
"Pulcinella is a classical character that originated in commedia dell'arte of the 17th century and became a stock character in Neapolitan puppetry. Pulcinella's versatility in status and attitude has captivated audiences worldwide and kept the character popular in countless forms since his introduction to commedia dell'arte by Silvio Fiorillo [it] in 1620.
His visual appearance includes a humpback, a crooked nose, gangly legs, a potbelly, large cheeks, and a gigantic mouth. These traits were inherited from two stock characters of the Atellan Farce. He typically wears a pointed hat (conical hat). When depicted as a member of the upper class, Pulcinella is a cunning thief and schemer. When depicted as a member of the servant class, Pulcinella is a perverted bumpkin. In either case, he is a social climber, striving to rise above his station in life. He is an opportunist who always sides with the winner in any situation and who fears no consequences. His main motivations are self-interest and self-preservation, yet Pulcinella tends to rescue other characters from trouble. He is said to be every character's savior, despite acting as a rebel and a delinquent.
Pulcinella embodies the Neapolitan plebians, the simplest man who occupies the bottom place on the social scale, the man who, although aware of his problems, always manages to come out of them with a smile. On that basis, many writers have come to refer to Pulcinella, in retrospect, as a model ENFP of sorts (based on the Myers-Briggs 16 personality test).
Pulcinella represents the soul of the people and its primitive instincts. He almost always appears in contradiction, so much so that he does not have fixed traits. He may be rich or poor, a bully or a coward — sometimes exhibiting both traits simultaneously. In addition to being a faithful servant, he adapts to all trades: baker, innkeeper, farmer, thief, seller of miraculous concoctions. " (wikipedia).

Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi 1571 - 1610) - Supper at Emmaus (1606) - Oil on canvas size cm. 141 x 175 - Pinacoteca di Brera Milan
Non sappiamo per chi fu realizzato il dipinto, ma probabilmente per nessuno: il 28 maggio del 1606, Caravaggio aveva ucciso in una rissa il rivale Ranuccio Tommasoni, ed era scappato in fretta da Roma per evitare l'esecuzione della sua condanna a morte. Dunque, prima di partire per Napoli, si rifugiò per qualche tempo presso le tenute dei Colonna nei Castelli Romani: è in questo contesto che nacque la Cena in Emmaus che oggi vediamo a Brera. Non sappiamo dunque se sia stata realizzata per i Colonna o se, più probabilmente, fu dipinta dall'artista con il chiaro intento di metterla sul mercato per procurarsi denaro per la fuga. È infatti proprio sul mercato romano che l'opera fu acquistata da un banchiere genovese, Ottavio Costa, che era un estimatore di Caravaggio.
Gesù è colto nell'atto di benedire il pane: lo sta facendo con la mano destra, ce ne accorgiamo dal gesto. Il discepolo di sinistra allarga le mani stupito (è l'unico particolare da cui intuiamo la sua meraviglia, perché è dipinto di schiena e non vediamo il suo volto), mentre l'altro le appoggia sul tavolo, e sta per alzarsi sbigottito, in modo davvero molto realistico. L'oste e l'inserviente, caratterizzati dai volti pieni di rughe, sembrano invece non provare particolari sentimenti: la donna si preoccupa solo di portare i piatti in tavola (e forse diventa simbolo di chi non recepisce il messaggio di Cristo), mentre l'oste sembra quasi partecipare svogliato all'evento (ricordiamo che Cristo si è appena rivelato a due suoi discepoli dopo la sua resurrezione), che pare non destare in lui particolari sensazioni.
We do not know for whom the painting was made, but probably for no one: on May 28, 1606, Caravaggio had killed his rival Ranuccio Tommasoni in a brawl, and had fled Rome in haste to avoid execution of his death sentence. So, before leaving for Naples, he took refuge for some time at the estates of Colonna in the Castelli Romani: it is in this context that was born the Supper at Emmaus that we see today in Brera. We don't know if it was painted for the Colonna family or if, more probably, it was painted by the artist with the clear intention of putting it on the market to get money for his escape. It is in fact on the Roman market that the work was bought by a Genoese banker, Ottavio Costa, who was an admirer of Caravaggio.
Jesus is caught in the act of blessing the bread: he is doing it with his right hand, we can see from the gesture. The disciple on the left spreads his hands in amazement (it is the only detail from which we can guess his wonder, because he is painted from behind and we do not see his face), while the other puts them on the table, and is about to stand up in amazement, in a very realistic way. The innkeeper and the janitor, whose faces are full of wrinkles, do not seem to have any particular feelings: the woman is only concerned with bringing the dishes to the table (and perhaps becomes a symbol of those who do not understand the message of Christ), while the innkeeper seems to participate in the event listlessly (remember that Christ has just revealed himself to two of his disciples after his resurrection), which does not seem to arouse any particular feelings in him.
The American Cliff Swallow is a migratory bird that spends its winters in Goya, Argentina but makes the 6,000-mile (10,000 km) trek north to the warmer climes of the American Southwest in springtime. According to legend, the birds, who have visited the San Juan Capistrano area every summer for centuries, first took refuge at the Mission when an irate innkeeper began destroying their mud nests. their return is celebrated on St. Joseph's day every year.
73-89 Rasen Lane, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A possible medieval road or track connecting Newport with Bradegate and Cliffgate. The first documentary references date from the late 12th century but has been suggested that it may be as early as the late 11th century.
It is possible that the name is from the Rasen family in the 15th century or Joseph Reason a landowner in the area and innkeeper at the Dolphins Inn before 1784, and the Scarborough Arms 1784-1820, but the name may be early 19th-century, as the Enclosure Award plan names it Newport Road, and it is Dum Mans Lane in 16th-century documents. It was also named Racecourse Road (as was Long Leys Road) in the early 19th century, and widened at the south-east corner of Saxon Street in 1897.

1882 – The Architectural Dream
Stephan Sarter was born the youngest son of a Bonn innkeeper in 1833. Following his apprenticeship at a bank and several stays abroad, he made his fortune by speculating on the stock exchange and, incidentally, helping to finance the Suez Canal. In 1882, he was ennobled by Duke Georg von Sachsen-Meiningen and, by 1882, Baron Stephan von Sarter had already laid the foundation stone for an imposing residence, namely, Schloss Drachenburg – a mixture of villa, mansion and castle. Two Düsseldorf-based architects, Leo von Abbema and Bernhard Tüshaus, drew up the original plans which were subsequently revised by Wilhelm Hoffmann, an architect resident in Paris and a former pupil of Ernst Friedrich Zwirner, a Cologne Cathedral architect. The historical architecture and splendid furnishings of Schloss Drachenburg were to find much admiration amongst contemporaries. Yet Sarter was never to live there. His chosen place of domicile was Paris where he died in 1902, still a bachelor, without having regulated his inheritance. Jakob Biesenbach, one of his nephews, bought the castle from the state.
Con un movimiento cuidadoso y delicado posa una de mis aves favoritas. Después de un verano trabajando con una pareja aún recuerdo los buenos momentos pasados mientras los observaba desde mi cámara en su posadero, mientras pescaban, interaccionan entre ellos. En esta foto uno de esos momento con una de las poses que mas me gustan.
With a careful and delicate movement poses one of my favorite birds. After a summer working with a couple I still remembered the good times spent as I watched them from my camera at their innkeeper, while they were fishing, they interacted with each other. In this photo one of those moments with one of the poses that I like.

The Cinque Ports Arms; an English Public House in Old Town, Hastings, Sussex.
The name of this hostelry celebrates the historic set of five coastal towns in Kent and Sussex that originally formed a military and trade confederation. The name derived from the Norman French meaning five ports, the Cinque Ports were Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich although Rye was substituted for New Romney when the latter port silted up.
There is a rich history associated with the Cinque Ports. The Arms themselves are variously portrayed and adapted as they were adopted by associated towns and organisations. Use of coats of arms is controlled by a body called the College of Arms. The original coat of arms of the Cinque Ports has a red background on the left and probably gold ships on the right.
Oh, and for those not familiar with UK terminology; a Free House doesn't imply the beer is free, only that the innkeeper is free to sell beer from different breweries rather than being tied to one.
Inspired by the poisoned drink in The Riddle a German fairy tale collated by the Brothers Grimm ....
"There once was a prince who decided to go on a journey with his servant. In a dark forest, they came to a small house, where a maiden warned them that her stepmother was a witch who disliked strangers, but unfortunately there was nowhere else for shelter. The prince and his servant reluctantly entered the witch's house, but before they went to bed, the maiden warned the prince and his servant not to eat or drink anything the witch gave them because it might be poisonous. The next morning, the witch gave the prince's servant a poisonous drink, telling him to give it to his master, but the servant ended up spilling it on the prince's horse, killing it.
When he told the prince what had happened and they came to the dead horse, a raven was already eating the corpse. Deciding they may not find better food that day, the servant killed the bird and took it with him. Next, they reached an inn and the servant gave the innkeeper the raven to make food of it. Unknown to the prince and his servant, the inn was really a robbers' den. The robbers returned, and, before killing the travellers, sat down to eat. Immediately after eating a few bites of the raven soup the innkeeper had prepared, the robbers fell down dead from the poison that the raven had in its body. The innkeeper's daughter then showed the prince and his servant the robbers' hidden treasure, but the prince insisted that the daughter keep it.
Continuing on, the prince and his servant next came to a town where a princess would marry any man who asked her a riddle that she could not solve. If she could solve it, she could boil the man alive and eat him. The prince asked the princess, "What slew none, and yet slew twelve?" The princess could not solve the riddle, so she sent her maid to see if the prince revealed the riddle while talking in his sleep. The prince was prepared, however, because that night he had his servant sleep in his bed. When the maid came in, the servant ripped off her robe and chased her out. Next, the princess sent her chambermaid to spy on the prince while he was asleep, but the prince's servant also ripped off her robe and chased her out. On the third night, the prince slept in his own bed, and the princess herself came in. The prince pretended to be asleep and the princess asked him the answer to the riddle. After the prince revealed the answer, the princess departed, but left her robe behind.
The next morning, the princess announced the answer of the riddle: "A raven ate from a dead, poisoned horse, and died from it. Then, twelve robbers ate the raven and died from that." The prince declared that the princess had not solved the riddle herself, but rather questioned him in his sleep. The town judges asked for proof, and the prince showed them the three robes. The judges ordered the princess's robe to be embroidered with gold and silver, for it was to be her wedding robe."
Climbing Wearyall Hill in Glastonbury, Somerset.
Wearyall Hill is a long narrow ridge to the south west of Glastonbury. Its summit offers views across to Glastonbury Tor and the Somerset levels to one side, the town to another. It is on this hill that the legend of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn begins. The original was said to have blossomed from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea whom legend says came to Glastonbury after the crucifixion. Glastonbury was once an inland isle, surrounded by water and only connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. Visitors to the Isle could sail up the tidal river Brue and legend tells us that on arrival, Joseph planted his staff which took root and blossomed into the now world-famous Glastonbury Thorn.
Hearse’s History and Antiquities of Glastonbury (1722) describes a Mr. Eyston being given information on the Thorn by a local innkeeper: "I was told by the innkeeper where I set up my horses, who rents a considerable part of the enclosure of the late dissolved abbey, that St. Joseph of Arimathea landed not far from the town, at a place where there was an oak planted in memory of his landing, called the Oak of Avalon; that he and his companions marched thence to a hill near a mile on the south side of the town, and there being weary, rested themselves; which gave the hill the name of Weary-all-Hill; and Joseph on arrival, planted his staff in the ground and it immediately blossomed."

This building is a church since the 80s. From 1775 to 1905 it was the synagogue of Detmold until they built the big syngaogogue which was destroyed by the Nazis. This building survived together with it's Chazan-house because it was sold to an Innkeeper which used it as a storage. The synaogue was forgotten. Now there's a memorial in the back with columns reminding to the big synaogue. It used to be the originals, but as they were nearly destroyed on this spot for "political reasons", there's only a copy left, the originals are safe in a museum in town.

This is a nativity scene despite its more unconventional look!
The remit for this model was to create something more in keeping with the bible accounts and history. rather than the popular depiction of the complete Nativity story 'in a nutshell' approach.
Firstly; I have not included the wise men. The biblical account mentions that Jesus was a young child and in a house. While the exact age is not known, it was clearly after his birth in the innkeepers stable,
Secondly; The stable depiction is based on historical concepts. They did not have barns in the way the western world understands them. Rather they would have had either caves or lean too stables. Given this belonged to an inn keeper I felt the lean too stable was the more likely option.
Finally; we have the limited focus on Jesus. He would have been just another baby to the people around them. I have a guest on the roof looking out obliviously to mark this.
The only remarkable thing about the birth would have been the unexpected arrival of the shepherds, offering their testimony about what the angels had told them. So Jesus is much harder to notice in my model than the arrival of shepherds.
There is of course no donkey mentioned in the bible either! Though entirely possible there was one there at the birth I left this animal out.
I hope you enjoy it and have a very Merry Christmas

Blackadder Hotel? Who would have thought that Blackadder would have gone forth from West Galway and from such a beautiful setting. This is up there with the most scenic Lawrence photographs we have seen.
With thanks today to sharon.corbet, B-59, beachcomber, and guliolopez we have been able to map this image to the Angler's Return Hotel near Toombeola, County Galway. We also learned that Walter Blackadder (innkeeper and head of the Ballynahinch trout and salmon fishery) was well known in fishing and game circles in that part of the world for some years. The consensus is that this image is unlikely to be before 1895 (when Blackadder possibly took-over as both local innkeeper and gamekeeper)....

Grou (Grouw) - In Friesland skûtsjesilen (sailing with historical flat bottom boats) is one of the Top Event for Dutch tourism. Skûtsjesilen is a synonym for sailing competitions with old freight ships. These flat bottom boats were built at the beginning of the last century for the transportation of peat, manure and other loads to the farms. For this purpose the ships had to sail in shallow waters. That’s why these ships had to be built long and flat. Speed and manoeuvrability is characteristic of a skûtsje and therefore this type of ship is especially suitable for sailing competitions. To anticipate on supply and demand quickly and adapt to changing weather conditions was a daily struggle in those days. In difficult times the skippers mostly sailed on the initiation of the local innkeeper to make some extra money. Then family and furniture were removed from the skûtsje and left on the shore. All races of all 14 skûtsjes can be directly followed Worldwide on a map via the Track & Trace system.

Is Widecombe a Ghost Town?
There have been a number of reports from the United States that Widecombe is haunted and/or is a ghost town. These stories have originated from a TV programme described by one correspondent as follows:Saw an interesting television program on Ghost Stories - this particular episode featured the American actor Daniel Stern. He and his wife in 1980 were on their honeymoon in England and traveling by car to Tavistock, where they had reservations - on the way seeing the Old church steeple or tower of Widecombe, they stopped to visit the village.
They parked in the town square and noticed about 30-40 people walking about slowly all dressed in black and no one speaking.
They left the town later to be told by the innkeeper in Tavistock where they had lodging reservations that the old church had been struck by lightning and many people died in the church as it had occurred during a service.
It was surmised that they were seeing the ghosts of those killed in the fire who are still unsettled from the experience.

Awkh has been walking north for days, using the map on the scroll he got from the innkeeper. It was getting colder by the minute but he was not worried because he had a good leather jacket with rabbit fur. He was saving food and he was eating everything he found and caught by the way. He didn't notice that above him was an aerial duel between evil goblin and the dwarf
Croatian language
Awkh je danima pješačio prema sjeveru, koristeći kartu na spisu koji je dobio od krčmara. Postajalo je sve hladnije no to ga nije brinulo jer je imao kvalitetnu kožnu jaknu podstavljenu s zečevim krznom. Štedio je hranu tako da je jeo što god je našao i ulovio usput. I nije ni slutio da se na nebu iznad njega upravo odvija zračni dvoboj između zlog goblina i patuljka.

At last Thomas reached the top of a pass and saw something other than snow in the valley. If he hadn't been so numb and stiff with cold Thomas could have danced a jig. As he drew up he saw what he hadn't dared believe. This was the Garheim Kraken Inn and according to his father, his uncle would be waiting inside for him.
Inside he found a fire, hot stew and a tankard of ale. This was the very dream that had kept him going through the mountains. Thomas was in heaven.
There was however, no sign of his uncle. Thomas had only met him a few times when he was small, so he wasn't entirely sure he would recognise him. He decided he'd better ask around. While he was asking the innkeeper, a man entered and ordered a drink. 'Excuse me for interrupting, but I know the man you seek.' he told Thomas.
'Would you know where he is?' Thomas replied.
'I can do better than that.' answered the man, 'I'm heading past his house. If you'd be so kind as to give me a lift on that wagon you rode in on. I'll take you there.'
'That'll be great.' said Thomas 'Here let me get that for you.' as the Innkeeper arrived with the stranger's ale. So, what's your name?'
'I'm Watlou.' said the stranger and he drained his tankard in one long gulp. 'And I'm ready to go when you are.'

On May 18, 1980, a major volcanic eruption occurred at Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in the state of Washington, United States. The eruption (a VEI 5 event) was the only significant one to occur in the contiguous 48 U.S. states since the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak in California.[1] The eruption was preceded by a two-month series of earthquakes and steam-venting episodes, caused by an injection of magma at shallow depth below the volcano that created a huge bulge and a fracture system on the mountain's north slope. An earthquake at 8:32:17 a.m. PDT (UTC−7) on Sunday, May 18, 1980, caused the entire weakened north face to slide away creating the largest landslide ever recorded. This suddenly exposed the partly molten, gas- and steam-rich rock in the volcano to lower pressure. The rock responded by exploding a hot mix of lava and pulverized older rock toward Spirit Lake so fast that it overtook the avalanching north face.
An eruption column rose 80,000 feet (24 km; 15 mi) into the atmosphere and deposited ash in 11 U.S. states.[2] At the same time, snow, ice and several entire glaciers on the volcano melted, forming a series of large lahars (volcanic mudslides) that reached as far as the Columbia River, nearly 50 miles (80 km) to the southwest. Less-severe outbursts continued into the next day, only to be followed by other large, but not as destructive, eruptions later in 1980.
Fifty-seven people were killed, including innkeeper Harry R. Truman, photographer Reid Blackburn and geologist David A. Johnston.[3] Hundreds of square miles were reduced to wasteland causing over a billion U.S. dollars in damage ($2.88 billion in 2014 dollars[4]), thousands of game animals were killed, and Mount St. Helens was left with a crater on its north side. At the time of the eruption, the summit of the volcano was owned by the Burlington Northern Railroad, but afterward the land passed to the United States Forest Service.[5] The area was later preserved, as it was, in the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.
