Knights Point Outlook. Back in the 50's, the area was surveyed by Norman McGeorge and the Point was named after his dog Knight.
One of four knights (you can see part of a second knight) - a component of a much larger work at the Grounds for Sculpture.

His work also includes monumental portraits, bronze compositions, reliefs and medals. This monumental composition was cast in bronze in Thailand and installed at Grounds For Sculpture in April 2014.

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 ;)
"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".

Body armor, also known as body armour, personal armor or armour, or a suit or coat of armor, is protective clothing designed to absorb or deflect physical attacks. Historically used to protect military personnel, today it is also used by various types of police (riot police in particular), private security guards or bodyguards, and occasionally ordinary civilians. Today there are two main types: regular non-plated body armor for moderate to substantial protection, and hard-plate reinforced body armor for maximum protection, such as used by combat soldiers.
Plate armour is a historical type of personal body armour made from bronze, iron, or steel plates, culminating in the iconic suit of armour entirely encasing the wearer. Full plate steel armour developed in Europe during the Late Middle Ages, especially in the context of the Hundred Years' War, from the coat of plates worn over mail suits during the 14th century.
In Europe, plate armour reached its peak in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The full suit of armour, also referred to as a panoply, is thus a feature of the very end of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period. Its popular association with the "medieval knight” is due to the specialised jousting armour which developed in the 16th century.
Full suits of Gothic plate armour were worn on the battlefields of the Burgundian and Italian Wars. The most heavily armoured troops of the period were heavy cavalry, such as the gendarmes and early cuirassiers, but the infantry troops of the Swiss mercenaries and the Landsknechts also took to wearing lighter suits of "three quarters" munition armour, leaving the lower legs unprotected.
Knights Ferry is a town in Stanislaus County, California. It is about 40 miles (64 km) east of Modesto on the Stanislaus River. Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it was an important mining town during the gold rush. It is home to the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi at 330 feet (100 m) in length.[1] Today, it is home to a museum about the history of the town and also about local wildlife. The towns ruins include a mill and a prison.
Knights Ferry is the "put in" location for Class I-II rafting trips on the Stanislaus River. Rafting most often occurs through the months of May through October. Water in the lower Stanislaus is discharged from the base of Goodwin Dam, resulting in clear and cold water even in the warmest months of summer.
This was a fun one. I am starting to understand night sky photography takes practice and forethought. Just showing up to a strange location at 3am thinking you’re going to nail an amazing keeper is not really reality. I'm still learning, making mistakes on this Milky Way stuff, was happy to pull this one off.
This is twenty-three (10 second) exposures stacked in Sequator.
A dark purple gladioli photograhed this afternoon, Sunday 5th July, 2020, along Edgeworth David Drive at Hornsby, in northern Sydney. I discovered it by sheer accident as I was walking to the Waitara Magpies Club to watch the NRL football match on the big screen!!
And there it was, all alone in the late afternoon in mid-winter, growing against a yellow-painted concrete wall in a most urban, and un-garden like precinct in Hornsby - opposite the car-park entry into the giant Hornsby Westfield shopping centre. No other gladioli friends in sight, and only a clump of orange nasturtions nearby for support. Quite a bizarre thing.
Photographed with a Samsung Galaxy S20+ mobile phone camera, and processed in Snapseed whilst watching the Newcastle Knights currently leading the Manly-Warringah Sea-Eagles, 14-6, in the NRL.
So, a 'Dark Knight' I am calling it. But wait, a score update - it's Knights 14-12. Very close!
And this was the final score - so the Dark Knight wins!!
Its probably just me, but when I saw these rock formations, standing proud on Kinder Scout I immediately thought of the Chess game from the first Harry Potter movie.

Another entry for the Summer Joust :)
This one in the silhouette category. Figured you can´t go wrong with a classic portrait of a knight...then I started building and let´s just say I have new respect for the people who build mosaics...haha!
The Prayer-book of Medieval Knights, "The Path's spiritual energy uses justice and patience to prepare your spirit. This is the Knight's Path. An easy way and, together, difficult, because it makes you abandon all useless things and friendships related. For this, first one feels very hesitant about following it. Here is the first lesson of Chivalry: you will erase what you've written so far on your life's notebook: turmoil, insecurities, lies. and you write, instead of this, the word courage. "

One shot taken last summer.
Preparations for the Giostra del Saracino, a reenactment in medieval costume, which takes place in Piazza Grande in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, presumably from the thirteenth century.
Here again they are not dressed in costumes and it's really hard to take pictures, because there are many people around the square. In the link you can also see photos of the reenactment, surely made by photographers with super strong objectives and privileged positions : ))
I just hope to have transmitted the famous "mood" : )

Two of the knights from the Build a Minifig stand make a Cute Couple. All of the parts are from the BaM stand except for the red hairpiece (I found that in my extra parts container). I like the details on these new torsos!
As I was trying to think of an idea for this shot, I realized I don't have any Castle Sets. I have the Medieval Blacksmith shop but no actual Castles.... so I went with a simple background for these two :-)
