Ganon took her away, now the children don't play, but they will when Link saves the day! Halleighlula!
ich bin zu klein für die Menschenmassen, habe viel gehört, aber dieses Jahr wenig gesehen und immer, wenn ich dachte, da ist eine Lücke, schwenke vor mir ein Arm hoch mit dem Handy - Sicht versperrt.
A vastly important site within this featured array of artificial 'caves', and another example featured within the diagram linked below (second right).
The River Ebro 'highway' ebbs and changes direction just 5km away. Modestly moving on its long narrative of silting the Mediterranean sea with mountain grain. And as it turns from the north, the tight fluvial system provides a clean pointer and link with the Atlantic coast. Approaching the great river's source, the river simply holds a valley and hides its future with local modesty. The valley that confluences at the turning point is the (river) 'Arroyo Mardancho', the same river that flows under this monolithic church site. A sacred spring into the Arroyo Mardancho sits under this sites monolith, providing relentless fresh water to this day.
Both the Ebro and the Mardancho can easily and naturally link with the northern passage to the Rio Besaya and the Altlantic coast, and if the Ebro was once conceptualised as a great west/east, then the Mardancho would have been part of its raison d'etre. The Mardancho is also a key route to the Ebro from the CeltIberic hill fort of Mont Bernedo.
Seen by night this site hides its rarity, and some words are required to show that all is not as it first appears:
The tiled roof is a modern addition, and lifts above an outcrop of sandstone, in effect protecting the rock's surface for future generations. The rock outcrop that makes up the exoskeleton for the interior man-made space, is comprehensively covered with monolithic Sarcophage; many linked, some seeming to indicate a family unit, and some of the dimension of infants and children. A further and detached flat rock outcrop - behind this shot and up the slope, continues the theme, with another 20 or so examples of carved Sarcophage - some with trapezoid form, most andromorphic. Todays church is thus under the imprints of ancestors rather than over their memory, which tends to be the Christian tradition. Other examples of man-made spaces under monolithic necropolis do exist (see future posts), and this is not an example of idiosyncratic design, rather another local example from an upstream Ebro theme.
Organic and oblong openings have been sealed, and at times squared into shape, and the inside has lost much of its organic narrative after being 'modernised' with a tightening of edge and form - probably during a Moorish or Visigoth occupation period, so up to the 10th century.
The exterior shape of the monolith has also been walled up to afford it a clean set of lines. The illuminated Romanesque bell tower is built as a different building behind the outcrop, in the way that Italian bell towers can be separate, and in keeping with the site at Santos Justo y Pastor - just five straight km away (see below).
Socket marks show that a porch or lean-to once 'hid' the scale of the interior vaults. These marks and some other step and bench marks are worn in ways that show a use far beyond those of ideas of lone hermits.

At the downfall of the steam era, rail photographer O Winston Link famously photographed a few of N&Ws streamlined K Class locomotives giving a nighttime greeting to the town of Waynesboro, Virginia. In 2026, that exact spot saw the return of N&W steam on what was once the rivaling C&O mainline. As 611 stomps up the grade to Afton, it's remarkable to see how everything ties together in this one historic location.
Montana Rail Link's "Night Gas" heads west along the 10th Subdivision and Flathead River near Perma, MT. Don't ask how we got sun here, I'm baffled myself, as it was the only shot of the Gas Local we got with sun.
A heavy chain suspended from our Yew tree. We inherited it when we moved in. I suspect it was used in some kind of paint spraying operation.

🇫🇷 Construit au XVIIè siècle, taillé à même la roche, le monastère dédié à St Basile d'Ostrog est un lieu de rencontre de trois confessions: orthodoxe, islamique et catholique. C'est un lieu de pélerinage réputé pour ses guérisons miraculeuses. L'apparition du monastère blanc au détour de la route est spectaculaire. Il est formé de 2 églises, celle de Sainte-Croix avec ses fresques peintes sur la roche et l'église de la Présentation de la Vierge, toutes deux reliées entre elles par des grottes, des passages étroits et de nombreux escaliers. Croyant ou non, on ne peut que ressentir la paix, la sérénité qui se dégagent de ces lieux.
🇬🇧 Built in the 17th century and carved out of the rock, the monastery dedicated to St Basil of Ostrog is a meeting place for three faiths: Orthodox, Islamic and Catholic. It is a place of pilgrimage renowned for its miraculous healings. The appearance of the white monastery at the bend in the road is spectacular. It is made up of 2 churches, that of Sainte-Croix with its frescoes painted on the rock and the church of the Presentation of the Virgin, both linked by caves, narrow passages and numerous staircases. Believers or not, you can't help but feel the peace and serenity that emanate from these places.
🇩🇪 Das im 17.

Es ist ein Pilgerort, der für seine Wunderheilungen bekannt ist. Das weiße Kloster erscheint spektakulär, wenn man von der Straße abbiegt. Es besteht aus zwei Kirchen, der Kirche des Heiligen Kreuzes mit ihren auf den Felsen gemalten Fresken und der Kirche der Darstellung der Jungfrau Maria, die beide durch Höhlen, enge Durchgänge und zahlreiche Treppen miteinander verbunden sind. Ob gläubig oder nicht, man kann nicht umhin, den Frieden und die Gelassenheit zu spüren, die diese Orte ausstrahlen.

We followed him east where the dispatcher planned a meet at the next siding. Road construction limited our shots in between, but we got him coming into the siding before heading back to the highway overpass.
The train he was meeting was a J train heading for Washington. A Boeing train. We had no intel on it besides a leader number so we weren't for certain how many (if any) fuselages would end up being on it. We hoped for at least two, and were at near disbelief when he came around the corner with five total fuselages. A friendly crew on this train as well, something that seemed to be a common occurrence up here.
Man, the people in Montana are so nice, aren't they Sam?

Montana Rail Link’s 844 Logan Local is on its routine run out to Sappington to service the talc plant there. But first they need to stop and work in Three Forks before continuing onto Sappington.

I hiked several miles up onto the new section of the Foothills Parkway last January before it opened up to make these pictures. I believe it is one of the prettiest views of the Smoky Mountains particularly since you can drive there now that it is open.
