Ancient Termessos....is one of the most interesting ancient sites in Antalya. It's located inside the National Park to the north-west of the province, approximately 34 km (21 miles) from the city center. It's a spectacular Psidian city built on the Taurus Mountains at approximately 1050 meters (3445 feet) above the sea level. Today, the site is mentioned in Unesco's Tentative List for World Heritage. The ancient city of Termessos was found by the Solyms who lived in the Psidia region, who have been cited in the Iliad by Homer in connection with the legend of Bellerophon. We don't know much about the Solyms but probabily they were of Anatolian origin, unlike other settlers in the region who usually came from the sea. The city is one of the few places which Alexander the Great couldn't capture it despite his siege in 333 B.C. because it was an eagle's nest built in a valley hidden between the mountains. Even today, in order to visit the city you should have a good physical condition to walk uphill, but when you reach the site the views are breathtaking. During the 2nd century B.C. the Termessians fought against neighbouring Lycian cities and then against Isinda who were their other neighbour in Psidia region. They also fought against Serge, another ancient city near Attaleia (modern day Antalya). Termessos had good relations with Attalos II, king of Pergamon. During the Roman empire, Termessos became a Roman ally so they received their independent status from the Senate in 71 B.C. The inhabitants abandoned the city in the 5th century A.D. after a gradual decline and earthquakes which destroyed its aqueduct and thus their water supply. Termessos is one of the best preserved ancient cities of Turkey. The most significant remains of the site are the fortified city walls, towers, king's road, Hadrian's gate, agora, stoas, gymnasium, heroon, odeon, theatre, tombs, temples, houses, shops, cisterns and drainage system. All of this is located in a dense vegetation, surrounded by typical Mediterranean flora. Amongst the sarcophagi, there are the ones of Alcates, the rival of Antigonos who was one of Alexander's generals, and of Agatemeros. The views from the theater are magnificent, which had a capacity of five thousand spectators. So far, there isn't any scientific excavations held in the city.

Usually nobody likes the hotdog that is under the grill. lol. But I think everyone loves Fudge.
I got the grill mat to catch the grease and not stain my new deck. But apparently it was soft enough to snooze on and watch the squirrels.
Don't worry, the grill was not in use.
Most people have never seen the process of getting the manufactured home off the street and onto its foundation. This step is the single most unique on-site activity which distinguishes manufactured homes from site-built homes. It is also the most potentially hazardous phase of construction, to the safety of both the home and to the people installing the home. This should be done with experienced contractors.

Understanding Leeds Most Common Crimes
Leeds is the largest city in the county if West Yorkshire, that is highly popular and known for its shopping, nightlife, universities, and sport. It is a city also known for its parks and beautiful green spaces that make it a very appealing city for tourists and visitors.
However, in past years Leeds has been known and recognized for its high crime rate. This is something that has reflected negatively on the city, deterring visitors and impacting on Leeds residents’ movements around the city. Despite Leeds’s crime ridden past, the past year or so has shown an overall decline in crimes committed, with a 2.6 per cent reduction in offences in West Yorkshire in 2019/20, and around 7,600 fewer victims, according to the West Yorkshire Police.
What are these crimes that are still being committed?
New police data, obtained by the Yorkshire Evening Post under the Freedom of Information (FOI) ACT, has revealed the nine most commonly recorded crimes in north Leeds wards from April 2019 to March 2020. Here they are:
1. Violence Without Injury
There were a total of 5,335 violent crimes without injury recorded in Leeds within this time frame.
2. Burglary – Residential
There were 2,188 residential burglaries recorded in Leeds from April 2019 to March 2020.
There are three main types of burglary, they are: opportunistic burglary, targeted/planned burglary, and distraction burglary...

Most of the Cornwall photos have sea in them. In this photo, I really wanted to show a different character of Cornwall. The rugged rock faces and huge rock cliffs. A couple standing near the grass area just left of the centre, gives an idea of the scale of this rock cliff.
most homes have that pb&j classic. our house it's a little different. peanut butter and pickles.
worlds best sandwich.
but it has to be made with claussen pickles because those are the best. this thing didn't even last a minute.

Most of the gradeschools I've seen here have been like this. Wish my school were like that growing up.
Doncaster Lakeside is the town’s most prestigious market ready, mixed-use development site. It lies just one and a half miles from the town centre and less than five minutes from junction 3 of the M18.
Originally conceived in the early 1990s, the centrepiece 20 hectare man-made lake is now complete, along with the principal infrastructure costing £20m. With this advance spending and an award winning public realm strategy, the development is already occupied by over 500 quality apartments and homes, as well as businesses including BT, EWS (English, Welsh and Scottish Railways), Direct Line Group and Beresfords Solicitors. Other features include a well established leisure park including: the Dome - one of Europe’s largest leisure centres, multiplex cinema, bowling alley, restaurants and supermarket.
3D has been responsible for securing the highest quality of development for this prime location, and has recently completed a deal with GMI Rovinian for the development of 110,000 sq ft of office space. 3D is also close to completing a deal with David Wilson Homes for the development of around 400 high quality executive homes and lake-edge apartments, complimenting the current residential facilitates.
Over the next few years, several sites will be brought to the market, including 8 hectares for lake-front residential development, 4.5 hectares for commercial uses, and 7.7 hectares of industrial land

St Nicholas's in King's Norton is one of the most impressive medieval churches within the suburbs of present day Birmingham. It is distinguished by a lofty tower and spire of mid 15th century date (similar to that at Coleshill) which given the elevated site is a landmark visible for some distance.
The bulk of the church building is of 15th century date though it is much earlier in origin, with remnants of the 12th century Norman building at the north east corner of the chancel (one window opening remains). The building has been restored and altered over the centuries following the Reformation, most noticeably in the south aisle where a new roof with series of gables with windows was added to admit greater light to the otherwise fairly dark interior. The church was restored in the 1880s by Ewan Christian.
Inside the furnishings are mostly Victorian except for the surviving lower part of the 15th century wooden rood screen with a carved foliate frieze. There is also a fine group of post-Reformation monuments which are somewhat hard to appreciate (and photograph!) in the gloomy space under the tower (where they were moved to from the chancel in the Victorian restoration).
The church contains much Victorian stained glass, much of it by Hardman's of Birmingham, with an east window by the studio of C.E.Kempe.
The church is normally kept locked but has select open hours on wednesdays and saturdays for visitors who are made very welcome!

The church forms a group of fine medieval buildings along with the Old Grammar School (in the churchyard) and the former Saracen's Head/Tudor Merchant's House which formed the winning project of the BBC's Restoration series in 2004.
The most remarkable monument of Taormina is the ancient theatre ( Roman-Greek theater), which is one of the most celebrated ruins in Sicily, on account both of its remarkable preservation and of the surpassing beauty of its situation. It is built for the most part of brick, and is therefore probably of Roman date, though the plan and arrangement are in accordance with those of Greek, rather than Roman, theatres; whence it is supposed that the present structure was rebuilt upon the foundations of an older theatre of the Greek period. With a diameter of 109 metres (after an expansion in the 2nd century), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily (after that of Syracuse); it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts. The greater part of the original seats have disappeared, but the wall which surrounded the whole cavea is preserved, and the proscenium with the back wall of the scena and its appendages, of which only traces remain in most ancient theatres, are here preserved in singular integrity, and contribute much to the picturesque effect, as well as to the interest, of the ruin. From the fragments of architectural decorations still extant we learn that it was of the Corinthian order, and richly ornamented.
Creato dai greci ( III sec. a.C.), fu riedificato e ampliato in epoca romana.Il Teatro Greco di Taormina è stato uno dei centri più vivi della cultura greca, ed ancora oggi come allora porta in scena una varietà di spettacoli.L' acustica di questa cavea, di una stupenda sonorità, permette anche agli spettatori dell' ultima fila di apprezzare la musica dei concerti di grandi artisti, che ogni anno si esibiscono nel teatro.Il teatro di Taormina è oggi meta di tantissimi turisti che vogliono conoscere la grandiosità di quest' opera e godersi l'icantevole suggestione del paesaggio che la circonda.Luogo d’incomparabile bellezza panoramica in cui l’occhio spazia dalla baia di Naxos, alle coste calabre, all’Etna, a Castelmola. E’ probabile che sia stato costruito in epoca greca e ristrutturato ed ampliato in epoca romana. Una prova che il teatro sia di origine greca è data dalla presenza, sotto la scena, di blocchi di pietra di Taormina (simili al marmo), che costituiscono il classico esempio del modo di costruire dei greci. Si pensa che i Romani per ricostruirlo abbiano impiegato decine d’anni.È molto probabile che furono i Greci Tauromeniti ad ideare e a costruire il teatro greco-romano. I Romani, poi, si preoccuparono di ampliarlo e di appesantirne la semplicità e l’eleganza. Il teatro greco-romano si divide in tre parti. la scena,l’orchestra la cavea.La scena che sta di fronte alla cavea è quella parte dove agivano gli attori. Stando alla ricostruzione degli specialisti questa parte era ornata di due ordini di colonne, l’uno sovrapposto all’altro. La scena, inoltre, presentava tre grandi aperture ad arco a distanza simmetrica tra loro e sei nicchie, poste tre a destra e tre a sinistra dell’arcata aperta centrale. Sulla scena si conservano ancora sei basi di colonne e quattro colonne di stile corinzio che furono alzate dopo il 1860.Accanto alla scena si trovano due parascaenia, cioè i due stanzoni che venivano usati dagli attori per cambiarsi di costume.L’orchestra è la parte piana più bassa di tutto il teatro. In questo spazio si collocavano i suonatori degli strumenti musicali che accompagnavano lo svolgimento della tragedia o della commedia che gli attori recitavano.La cavea è formata dalla gradinata che partiva dal basso e andava salendo verso l’alto, allargandosi fino alla sommità della cavea, dove prendevano posto gli spettatori. I gradini della gradinata erano ricavati dalla roccia viva, in assenza di questa venivano costruiti in muratura. La cavea era divisa orizzontalmente in 5 zone (chiamate dai romani praecinctiones),che gli spettatori percorrevano per prendere posto nella gradinata. Perpendicolarmente, invece, la cavea era percorsa da 8 scalette strette (in latino erano chiamate vomitoria) Sopra le volte dei due portici semicircolari c’erano due terrazze semicircolari con sedili di legno, destinate alle donne che assistevano agli spettacoli separate dagli uomini.La forma del teatro permetteva in tutti i settori del teatro un perfetto ascolto. E' la prima meraviglia dei monumenti di Taormina.
One of the most popular destinations in Washington D.C., the Lincoln Memorial. I was afraid this would be like Mount Rushmore and it would be a lot smaller than I thought, but I was (gratefully) wrong… this was an amazing place, even as busy as it was!
The most well known pass in Bhutan, Dochula Pass is located about 30 km away from the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu. The 108 chortens were built by the Queen Mother to honor the Bhutanese soldiers who were killed when fighting the Indian rebels in 2003. Bhutan was forced to repel the rebels as failing to do so, India threatened to enter the country to do so themselves. The 4th King led a volunteer army of about 7,000 men to force the rebels to exit the country. Though Bhutanese have wanted to build these chortens to mark the victory of the Bhutanese army, the King has rejected this offer and instead uses the chortens to commemorate the deceased.
Dochula Pass hosts the Dochula Festival annually on 13 December. This festival was started in 2011 to commemorate the victory of Bhutan over Indian insurgents in the south.

Colin and Brad, from "Who's Line is it Anyway?" fame, perform the most dangerous improv game in the world; a near deadly combination of blindfolded, barefooted, operatic improvisational comedy amidst a minefield of 130 live mouse-traps.
This was their last performance at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.

Most likely the most climbed mountain in Sykkylven, 874 m. Not too strenuous, but you start at sea level or at 200 m, and have to walk 5-7 km to get there. What you get is a real feeling of being on a mountain, and one of the best views in the district. You can see at least eight churches from the top, not bad in a sparsely populated district. (Sykkylven, Ikornnes, Skodje, Sjøholt, Hareid, Giske, Blindheim and Borgund. I will assume that there are some more churches to bee seen in Ålesund)
Now we are almost there, the steepest part is behind us. From here it is 200 m up and one km easy walk. Let's say a quarter or so, at least we have a chance to make it that quick with our walking sticks. We will take more time if I take photos.
St Andrew, Whissendine, Rutland
The most easterly village in Rutland is called Essendine, the most westerly is called Whissendine. Now, that looks like too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence, don't you think? And yet I'm assured that they are actually named after Anglo-Saxon landowners. Whatever, twenty miles separate them, and as this is a part of Rutland I have not yet explored at all I thought it would be fun to cover the area in between.
It was a fairly leisurely bike ride so far, ten churches in and the most westerly outpost of my journey was now in sight. I was at Teigh, and I had to make a decision. Whissendine was next. It was about three miles round by road, but there was a track across the fields marked on the OS map which was probably not much more than two miles. It was designated a public footpath, but was lined as if to show it was suitable for vehicles. I decided to take the chance.
I found the Teigh end of it, which had a sign saying no motor vehicles except farm vehicles, which looked promising. It led through a farmyard and then wound gently downhill, but very soon the concrete path became a rutted track, churned up by tractor wheels and dried in the sun. I kept a slow, steady path helped by rolling downhill, but the further I got, and the more the track deteriorated, the harder I knew it would be to get back if anything went wrong. The thing was, the track crossed the Leicester to Peterborough railway line, at what on my map was marked as a level crossing, but my map was almost twenty years old. What if the crossing was closed? What would I do then? At the very least I would have to push my bike more than a mile mostly uphill to get back to Teigh. The track became rougher and narrower. The tractor ruts turned off into a field, and now it was only a muddy pathway through the trees, no more than a metre wide. At last, I reached the railway line, thanking God that the level crossing was still in existence, albeit with just a narrow clapgate. There was barely room for my bike, and no vehicle could have got any further. On the other side, praise be, it was a metalled road, and after about half a mile I reached the top road and the village of Whissendine.
Not a large village, but a pleasant, civilised one as if it had once been a place of greater importance. The church, however, is one of Rutland's largest.This great church is very much in the Leicestershire style, a strong, blockish west tower with a wide nave with aisles and clerestories and a grand chancel beyond. It looked fabulous in the sunshine, not to mention my gratitude for being back in civilisation. The interior is lovely, harmonious, wide and rambling. I was put in mind of Barnack in Cambridgeshire. The large nave was full of light, and packed with delights. Bill Bryson gave this as his favourite village church in England, and although it obviously wouldn't be mine I could see why. Bizarrely, the leaning north arcade is supported by a second arcade to the aisle. The simplicity of the church is partly because there are few memorials, and the church is furnished in a seemly High Church manner. One curiosity is the screen to the south aisle chapel, which was saved from the medieval chapel of St John's College, Cambridge, when Sir George Gilbert Scott demolished it in the 1860s. The lower part appears to be a 17th Century addition.
I spoke to the lady clearing up after last week's flower festival (thank you God, for not letting me come here last week) and it was clear how proud she was of the church. And I liked it a lot too, and made it my church of the day so far.
I had come as far west as it was possible to come in Rutland. I was less than a mile from the Leicestershire border. The village windmill across the valley to the west looked attractive, but was time to head home. The road east back to Stamford was a straight one with three more churches to punctuate it. It was a short distance to the first of these, Ashwell.
