Montescaglioso, a town of ancient origins, then become an important settlement of the Great Greece or Magna Graecia (Megale Hellas) during the Greek domination in IV century b. C.
Centuries later it became a strategical town for a community of Benedictine monks who, thanks to the privileges obtained during the Norman domination in the XI Century enlarged and embellished what is still today the most important monument: the Benedictine Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo dating to 1065, among the largest ones in Italy. The Abbey is on two levels and experienced a period of splendour from the XVI Century to 1784, when the monks moved to Lecce, owing to controversies with the feudal lords.
Several frescoes dating from the XV to the XVII century are present in the two cloisters, the Chapter Hall and library and among the many rooms of the Abbey, interesting museums are displayed to show old customs and traditions, like the Carnival or the so called “Cucibocca” (literally” muoth’ sewers”), mythological and misterious figures wandering around the town at night on 05th January, whose origin is lost in time. Recent restouration works will allow you to visit the undergrounds of the Abbey, where wine and olive oil were produced and stored, as well as snow.

Wanted to update my comics Copperhead, and in doing so figured I’d make a “grittier” one as well for the fun of it.
Arkham Origins: Old fig, threw her in for the sake of it
Gritty: a more subdued take. Wanted dark green instead of olive but couldn’t find any hands
Comics: my favorite of these; just over the top enough to work.
Lemme know what you think!

Partial view of the cloister of the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, Huesca, Aragon, Spain.
ORIGINS: The Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña located in Botaya, southwest of Jaca, Huesca, Aragon (Spain), was the most important monastery in Aragon in the High Middle Ages.
A good number of kings of Aragon were buried in its Royal Pantheon.
It is part of the Aragonese Way of St. James.
Its location is extremely unique.
Legend has it that a young nobleman named Voto (in some versions, Oto), was hunting in these parts when he saw a deer.
The hunter ran after the prey, but it fled and when he reached Mount Pano, he fell off the cliff.
Miraculously, his horse landed safely.
Safe and sound at the bottom of the ravine, he saw a small cave in which he discovered a hermitage dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and, inside, he found the corpse of a hermit named Juan de Atarés.
Impressed by the discovery, he went to Zaragoza, sold all his possessions with his brother Felix, retired to the cave and began a hermit life.
THE HOLY GRAIL: According to the Spanish legend about the Holy Grail, it remained in the monastery, after passing through various locations such as the cave of Yebra de Basa, the monastery of San Pedro de Siresa, the church of San Adrián de Sásabe, San Pedro del Real Sitio de Bailo, the Cathedral of Jaca, from 1071 to 1399.
The need to attract pilgrims to Santiago who passed by the nearby road from Jaca to the monastery advised that the relic be located there.
In 1399, King Martin I took the sacred vessel to the Aljafería palace in Zaragoza, where it remained for more than twenty years, after a brief stay in Barcelona, accompanying the king and later transferred to the Cathedral of Valencia.
The first place in Spain where it was celebrated with the Roman Christian rite was in the Kingdom of Aragon in this monastery of San Juan de la Peña, on March 22, 1071, during the stay of the Holy Grail in the monastery and then it was made official in the rest of the kingdom, replacing the Mozarabic Christian rite.

UN MONASTERIO BAJO UNA PEÑA, 2019
(De mi propio Archivo Digital de Imágenes, año 2019)
Vista parcial del claustro del Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, Huesca, Aragón, Spain.
ORÍGENES: El Real Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña situado en Botaya, al suroeste de Jaca, Huesca, Aragón (España), fue el monasterio más importante de Aragón en la Alta Edad Media.
En su Panteón Real fueron enterrados un buen número de reyes de Aragón.
Forma parte del Camino de Santiago aragonés.
Su emplazamiento es sumamente singular.
Cuenta la leyenda que un joven noble llamado Voto (en algunas versiones, Oto), venía de caza por estos parajes cuando avistó un ciervo.
El cazador corrió tras la presa, pero esta huía y al llegar al monte Pano, se cayó por el precipicio.
Milagrosamente, su caballo aterrizó sin problemas.
Sano y salvo en el fondo del barranco, vio una pequeña cueva en la que descubrió una ermita dedicada a San Juan Bautista y, en su interior, encontró el cadáver de un eremita llamado Juan de Atarés.
Impresionado por el descubrimiento, se dirigió a Zaragoza, vendió todos sus bienes con su hermano Félix, se retiró a la cueva y comenzó una vida eremítica.
EL SANTO GRIAL: Según la leyenda española sobre el Santo Grial, éste permaneció en el monasterio, tras pasar por diversas localizaciones como la cueva de Yebra de Basa, el monasterio de San Pedro de Siresa, la iglesia de San Adrián de Sásabe, San Pedro del Real Sitio de Bailo, la Catedral de Jaca, desde 1071 hasta 1399.
La necesidad de atraer a los peregrinos a Santiago que pasaban por el cercano camino de Jaca al monasterio aconsejó que la reliquia se ubicara allí.
En 1399 el rey Martín I llevó el vaso sagrado al palacio de la Aljafería de Zaragoza, donde permaneció más de veinte años, tras una breve estancia en Barcelona, acompañando al rey y posteriormente trasladado a la Catedral de Valencia.
El primer lugar de España donde se celebra con rito cristiano romano es en el Reino de Aragón en este monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, el 22 de marzo de 1071, durante la estancia del Santo Grial en el monasterio y después se oficializa en el resto del reino, sustituyendo al rito cristiano mozárabe.

SN: Cycas Revoluta, Cycadaceae Family
This Palm has its origin in the Ryukyu Islands in Southern Japan. Although called Palm it doesn't belong to the Palmaceae family. Nowadays is disseminated all over. Produces a center of future leaves looking like a cabbage. It is quite attractive.
The Sago Palm is one of the most widely grown houseplants in the world because of its attractive, easy-care habit. It's a cycad, not an actual palm. The thick, shiny-green fronds have a slightly cascading appearance and they arise from a stout, brown, textured truck. When it’s container-grown, it performs well in any bright, sun-filled indoor space. This slow-growing evergreen plant is moderately cold hardy (to zone 8) and it’s native to southern Japan. Easy to care for, it prefers a well-drained potting mix or sandy soil when planted outside in southern zones. Sago Palm makes it easy to add a touch of greenery to your indoor living space.

Dating back to 1936, the Neon 147 foot long & 50 foot high Pepsi -Cola sign/billboard that since 2009 sits on the waterfront at Gantry Plaza State Park once sat upon the roof of Pepsi-Cola’s bottling plant located right behind where the sign is today.
Pepsi’s origins actually go back to 1898, in New Bern, North Carolina. New York City became the company headquarters after Pepsi-Cola’s second bankruptcy in 1931; the National Pepsi-Cola Company was acquired by the Loft Candy Company and eventually Loft’s and Pepsi-Cola president Charles G. Guth moved Pepsi-Cola operations to Long Island City in 1936. The production facility was the largest bottling facility in the United States at the time, it’s location on the East River facilitating ships delivering sugar cane from Havana and other Pepsi ingredients. The remarkable Neon Pepsi-Cola sign adorned the roof of that building, joining other Neon signs that lined the East River representing the cradle of manufacturing that Long Island City was during that era. The sign was built by Artkraft Strauss Sign Corporation with an Art Deco cursive script and the same company refurbished the sign in 1994. The Pepsi bottling facility at Long Island City shut down in 1998. The property was offered for sale with one stipulation. The Pepsi-Cola Company, the New York/Queens community and the New York City Landmark commission came to an agreement that the historically important sign had to be preserved.

Da quando l’uomo ha sentito l’esigenza di proteggere sé ed i propri beni all’interno di una casa, è nato non solo il bisogno di chiudere, ma anche l’esigenza opposta: quella di accorgersi di chi volesse segnalare la sua presenza al di fuori della abitazione e permettergli così di entrare. Ciò ha portato l’invenzione di un apposito strumento perfezionato nel tempo e chiamato battente o picchiotto (ma anche a seconda del luogo di origine battaglio, mazzapicchio, o bussarello). Nato come oggetto di uso estremamente pratico, il picchiotto ha assunto poi nei secoli anche una valenza artistica e decorativa. Originariamente il battiporta consisteva in una forma semplice, un martelletto o un anello di ferro. Solo col passare del tempo si è trasformato in un vero e proprio oggetto d’arte, dalla forma ricercata per abbellire le porte. Fin dai tempi più antichi, inoltre, ai picchiotti delle porte, oltre alla normale funzione di segnalare la propria presenza al di fuori dell’abitazione e di ausilio nella chiusura di porte spesso pesantissime, è stata data una funzione magica. Ad essi venne attribuito il potere prodigioso di allontanare e vanificare le influenze cattive che potessero danneggiare la casa ed i suoi abitanti. (Wikipedia)
Every tradition, every myth, is based on a grain of truth...
Recent evidence suggests that the easter bunny originated somewhere in what was once the supercontinent Gondwana, 2000 to 2000000000 years ago.
Several factors were important in the creation of the easter bunny story:
- dinosaurs would lay their eggs at this time of year
- their eggs were nutritious
- prehistoric man would be really hungry after a long winter
- being male and hungry predisposed him to making stupid decisions e.g.. stealing dinosaur eggs
- ancient megafauna like megarabbit were slow moving and easy to kill, but not as nutritious as dinosaur eggs
- if you wore megabunny ears like a hat, it would make you (prehistoric man) appear bigger and thus scarier to dinosaurs, increasing your chance of successfully stealing dinosaur eggs and surviving to procreate another day from 1:32544756485 to 1:7362486346
- prehistoric man had not yet mastered statistics or critical thought.
With these well documented facts put together, we can now appreciate how the story of the "easter bunny" and "easter eggs" came to be.
Ofcourse, like all stories, it has changed somewhat over the years, but the main message of Easter has remained the same - chocolate eggs taste better than real eggs, but are far less nutritious.
Happy hunting, and happy Easter!

~~~ While descending from a winter hike, I suddenly saw this scene, hidden up to now. The weather was very overcast and it was snowing in large flakes (visible in the picture). My pulse has quickened and the shutter has slammed twice before the scene vanishes totally in the mist... then began a few weeks during which I have cherished the memory of this moment, really, I thought only of that!! ... pending the development of the film ...
Eight years later, this photo remains my most intense photographic emotion ... probably also because it was one of the first ...
This is just for that brief moment that I continue to take pictures, to try to live it again... I know I am a naïve person :) ... ~~~

Ornate Tree Lizard
Death Valley National Park
These lizards are found in the Southwest but primarily in Arizona and Nevada. How this small population arrived in Death Valley is not known
The origin and the history of the chapel are not known, but it was built no later than the early 15th century, as in 1426 it is recorded that the Pope gave money for its repair. The chapel may have been linked to the nearby Holyrood Abbey.
From L to R:
Arkham Origins Joker: Went back and played it again. Also made a black trench coat. So I made him. Coat should be dark purple, but I kept it as purist as possible. It works. If not Arkham Origins Joker, then it's just a cool Joker.
Leto Joker: Just threw this together after experimenting with the hair. No tattoos because this figure won't stay together.
Phantasm: My favorite of this bunch. I finally watched Batman mask of The Phantasm beginning to end the other night. I've seen parts of it before, but never the whole film. It's pretty top. So I wanted to make a Phantasm figure. Lego has no good head for a completely purist one, so I made a custom mask out of a black hood and a Skull Head helmet from Space Police. Gonna be honest tho, didn't give a toss about making an accurate knife hand, so I just did this. it works for me. Not 100% accurate, but I like it.
Slade Wilson: Made a Slade head fro my Deathstroke. Just a Magneto head with some paint mods.
Prometheus: I guess you could say this one is a Moose-Verse figure. Taylor suggested I use this torso for him because of the scarf, and I went from there. Went with a more militaristic look and got rid of the bright colors. I actually really like it.
what do you think? Which is your favorite and why?
...A l'origine, l'église de Braine avaient une longueur de 70 m.
Elle comportait 6 travées.
L'emplacement de la partie disparue est matérialisé au sol sur le parvis.
A la limité rouge du parvis s'élevaient trois partails aux ébrasements profonds, celui du milieu étant surmonté d'une grande rose.
En 1650, l'église est pillée par les Espagnols, à la révolution elle est saccagée.
Le 16 avril 1791, l'église est fermée et les Prémontrés chassés.
Un décret la voua à la destruction en 1806.
Elle fut sauvée grâce à un curé de Braine, l'Abbé Beaucamps qui alerta les autorités et le Roi Louis XVIII lui rappelant que les Comtes de Dreux étaient des Capétiens.
Au moment de la restauration en 1829 une grande partie de la nef était effrondrée.
Les 4 premières travées furent démolies et les portails démontés, l'église ne mesure plus que 42 m.
Les travaux durèrent une vingtaine d'années.

Havana is a town in Gadsden County, Florida, United States, and a suburb of Tallahassee. The population was 1,754 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Tallahassee Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town was named after Havana, Cuba, located about 530 miles (850 km) to the south.
Havana is of Indian origin and honors the name of Cuba's capital.
In 1902, following the completion of the of Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railroad, settlers moved a mile east to the present site of Havana, Florida. The railway town was important to the export of farming and tobacco. On December 5, 1906, Havana was incorporated into a town. The name "Havana" was proposed by James Mathewson, a schoolteacher. Shade tobacco was an important crop at that time.
On March 16, 1916, Havana was destroyed by a fire and 26 business-owned buildings were burned leaving only two remaining stores.
In recent times, much of the tobacco crop industry has declined and is known for its antiques, art galleries and specialty stores.

Il y a quelques années, j'ai réalisé la conception architecturale de ma maison et j'ai décidé que le sol serait en bois noble. Planches de vingt mètres dans la pièce principale.
J'ai attendu plusieurs mois pour obtenir l'autorisation d'acheter les planches de vingt mètres !
Si c'était encore aujourd'hui, je referais le sol en granit.
Arbres robustes de plus de vingt mètres de haut !
Je ferais le sol en granit même si j'adore le parquet en bois dans ma maison.
Il y a de nombreuses années, le mot écologie ne résonnait pas tellement dans mon âme.
Aujourd'hui, je marche parmi les arbres et j'écoute le vent qui souffle entre eux et j'ai l'impression de leur demander pardon.
Oui, les grands arbres sont aussi vivants que moi et sont beaucoup plus vieux que moi et je leur dois du respect.
Ivan
--------------------------------------------------
A some years ago I did the architectural design of my house and decided that the floor would be made of noble wood. Twenty-meter boards in the main room.
I waited several months to get permission to buy the twenty-meter boards !
If it were still today, I would redo the floor in granite.
Robust trees over twenty meters high !
I would do the floor in granite even though I love the wooden floor in my house.
Many years ago, the word ecology did not resonate so much in my soul.
Today, I walk among the trees and listen to the wind blowing between them and I feel like I am asking them for forgiveness.
Yes, the big trees are as alive as I am and are much older than me and I owe them respect.
