Sergent "EOD"-
Cularin is... beautifully frightening. This place is covered it trees and bushes. I hate trees and bushes. Anyway, I was nearing a swamp when I found one of those trees. Lucky me.
I decided to ditch most of my gear for a flame thrower- for fuel I'll use whats left in my Jetpack. These trees are alive, the branches sway and feel around the ground. I have a pretty good idea on how our troops died. Trees and large worms. Ugh.
I'm gonna climb this forsaken tree now.

The Sphinx and his protector. We got to the Sphinx at closing time so this guy was trying to make everyone go back down by blowing his whistle etc. Why not just close the gates?
They call this rock formation the "Sphinx". There is a closer shot of it here somewhere.

I don't have a pet, so I borrowed my neighbour's sphinx.
Location: Potsdam, palace garden of Sanssouci
Sculptor: Georg Franz Ebenhecht (1710-1775)
Die beiden Sphingen haben eine besondere Bedeutung im Park Sanssouci. In der barocken Ikonologie sind sie die HĆ¼terinnen des āScharfsinnsā oder des āgeheimen Wissensā. In der Gesamtkomposition des Parkes Sanssouci erƶffnen sie den Weg zum Schloss Sanssouci. Die ƶstliche Sphinx wird von einem spielenden Putto begleitet, die westliche von einem, der ein StĆ¼ck Stoff Ć¼ber das Gesicht zieht - ein Motiv fĆ¼r den Schlaf, aus dem sich die Interpretationen der beiden Sphingen als Begriffspaar von Morgen und Abend oder Wachen und Schlaf ableiten lassen.
Sphinx is watching the Curling again on TV, upside down- for some reason he prefers watching it upside down! Biscuits is playing with a box. Sphinx really loves curling, especially the ladies of Team GB who he was watching here!

Sphinx of Hatshepsut
New Kingdom; Dynasty 18
Reign: Joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III
This colossal sphinx portrays the female pharaoh Hatshepsut with the body of a lion and a human head wearing a nemes headcloth and royal beard. The use of the sphinx to represent the king dates back to the Old Kingdom and the Great Sphinx of Giza. The sculptor has carefully observed the powerful muscles of the lion as contrasted to the handsome and attractive idealized face of the female pharoh. It was one of at least six granite sphinxes that stood in Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. Smashed into many fragments at the order of Hatshepsut's nephew and successor Thutmose III and dumped in a quarry close by the beast was recovered by the Museum's Egyptian Expedition amnd reassembled. It weighs more than seven tons.

A sphinx-shaped finial of a funerary stele.
Since the Archaic period, sphinxes appear as symbolic guardians of funerary monuments. These hybrid creatures - winged lions with human head - were adopted by the Greeks from the Near East in the seventh century BC. Other motifs of eastern orign, such as sirens bewailing death, enjoyed equal popularity.
