The title of each photo in this series is a translated line from a poem found in the Chapel of Bones. See the full poem in the original language here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos#Poem .
From our tour guide - the Franciscan monks who used the bones of approximately 5000 corpses, built this to send a message to the nobles that in death, no one can tell the difference between the rich and the poor, royal or common.
Dr. Beanes being held captive by the British was the incident that led to Francis Scott Key being held offshore of Fort McHenry and writing a poem that became the Star Spangled Banner.
We had so much fun hiking on glaciers our first time in Iceland that we had to make sure we could do it again on our second trip. We went out with Aron from Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service again, this time for a glacier hike on the Fjallsjökull Outlet of the Vatnajökull Glacier. We would highly recommend their services! Please feel free to check out the link below for more information.
The gentleman in the picture is one of two hikers on the Appalachian Trail who were using the railings to dry out their gear. They had started their hike in Georgia in the beginning of May.
Thinking of my April /13 trip to South Africa today, because of Mandela's birthday...here are some photos of a strenuous ( for me, and some others ) climb to a spot where we were rewarded with the sight of some ancient rock paintings ..( about 1400 years old, if I remember correctly ).
The climb was in the Drakensburg Mountains...we went from about 5000 feet to 6000 feet....mostly having to watch where we put every footstep...and if I had not had the help of the two young men pictured below in the comment photos, I would not have made it...I was about the last person to get there...hence my photos in the overhang area were pretty skimpy.
Of course I was carrying my heavy camera, and food and water...and I DID want to take more pics of the surroundings... ( which included some wildflowers that looked like strawflowers...and at least one baboon... and a waterfall, where a very few of our group waited who did not wish to climb all the way up. )
