This is the main building. It's as deep front to back as it is across this frontage. The Restaurant and campsite are across the road. PS I added the cracks to make it look more authentic.
In keeping with posting some of my found trucks on Thursdays - here is another beauty I found.

I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 5 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of those. Note – many of these re-visit an already posted subject.

Zwischen dem Großmeisterpalast und der Kirche Panagia tou Kastrou erstreckt sich mit der Odos Ippoton bzw. Ritterstraße auf eine Länge von etwa 250 Metern eine der wohl besterhaltenen mittelalterlichen Straßen Europas.
Hier reihen sich einige imposante Gebäude aneinander, die alle einheitlich aus ockerfarbenem Stein errichtet wurden und größtenteils aus dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert stammen, als Rhodos der Hauptsitz des Johanniterordens.
Between the Palace of the Grand Masters and the Church of Panagia tou Kastrou, the Odos Ippoton or Street of the Knights, one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Europe, stretches for about 250 meters.
Here are a number of imposing buildings, all of the same ocher stone, dating mostly from the 15th and 16th centuries, when Rhodes was the headquarters of the Order of Saint John
during a photo session at beach those two showed up and gave us a nice show , so we took advantage of it ;)
Dear Tess,
Thank you for selecting this image as the cover for your wonderful group. It is truly an honor that you chose to do so. Ulf was a fearless Waheela Warrior who deeply loved his family and his homeland. He dared to call out the clown knights for their greed and cunning, and accepted a single combat challenge with a monstrous warlock in their service. Ulf fought honorably, but he was defeated. He died by a sword and with a sword in his hand before many witnesses, having fought against the abuse and exploitation of empathy and compassion in SL.

"The Golden Knights are made up of several expert teams and skilled professionals who all play a critical role in the US Army’s success. This includes parachute teams, aircraft pilots, and even those behind-the-scenes handling jump logistics. Whether jumping out of planes going 120 miles per hour from 12,500 feet or landing with expert precision, they embrace the thrill of adventure and feel proud while doing it."
I snapped this photo shortly after this freefall parachuting tandem team jumped out directly under the midday sun. With a 1000mm focal length and atmospheric haze, sharpness was not to be, but to my delight, I captured part of the sundog and its rainbow.
Needless to say, their skills were amazing!
May each one of us take inspiration this Memorial Day from the patriotism of the brave soldiers who died for our country!
Today's blog is a very short introduction to the medieval classic tale, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight".

Along the street seven imposing inns where constructed in the early 16th century, representing the seven countries, or tongues, that the Knights of the Order of St John were originated from. Each facade is decorated with emblems and details that reflect the respective country. With no doubt, the finest of them is the Auberge de France that was built between 1492 and 1503. Most of the Grand Masters were French so their influence on the architecture was considerable. Stonemasons and craftsmen were for the most part Greek but workers from France and Spain were also brought here.
