This head comes from Centuripe in Sicily. Cicero describes it, perhaps with some exaggeration, as being by far the largest and richest city of Sicily, and as having a population of 10,000, engaged in the cultivation of an extensive territory. It was granted Latin Rights before the rest of Sicily. It appears to have suffered much in the war against Sextus Pompeius because of his loyalty to Octavian, but these reconstructed and gave the inhabitants the Roman citizenship. The Imperial Roman age has left the most impressive monumental remains. Grandiose monumental ruins, a rich complex of sculptures, numerous inscriptions: a whole series of elements seem to mark the accomplishments of a local family that, in the 2nd century, came to express a consul, a son of one of the components of the entourage of the emperor Hadrian. A large number of monumental remains were lost forever due to the neglect of the past and systematic theft and plundering for collectors and collections of every where. Gradually declined in the late Empire.
Emperor Frederick II entirely destroyed the city in 1233 in punishment for its rebellion, the inhabitants deported to Augusta. King Charles I of Anjou razed it completely to the ground, and the city was rebuilt only in 1548 by Francesco Moncada.
The city was known as Centorbi until 1863. In 1943 during World War II and the liberation of Sicily the Battle of Centuripe saw the town captured spectacularly from the defending Germans by the 38th (Irish) Infantry Brigade although it suffered some damage.
In Greek mythology, Persephone (/pəˈsɛfəni/, per-SEH-fə-nee; Greek: Περσεφόνη), also called Kore or Cora (/ˈkɔəriː/; "the maiden"),[n 1] is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest goddess Demeter, and is the queen of the underworld. Homer describes her as the formidable, venerable majestic princess of the underworld, who carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead. Persephone was married to Hades, the god-king of the underworld.[1] The myth of her abduction represents her function as the personification of vegetation, which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest; hence, she is also associated with spring as well as the fertility of vegetation.
Abduction myth
Persephone used to live far away from the other gods, a goddess within Nature herself before the days of planting seeds and nurturing plants. In the Olympian telling, the gods Hermes and Apollo had wooed Persephone; but Demeter rejected all their gifts and hid her daughter away from the company of the Olympian gods.[72] The story of her abduction by Hades against her will is traditionally referred to as the Rape of Persephone. It is mentioned briefly in Hesiod's Theogony,[73] and told in considerable detail in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Zeus, it is said, permitted Hades, who was in love with the beautiful Persephone, to carry her off as her mother Demeter was not likely to allow her daughter to go down to Hades. Persephone was gathering flowers with the Oceanids along with Artemis and Athena—the Homeric Hymn says—in a field when Hades came to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth.[74] Demeter, when she found her daughter had disappeared, searched for her all over the earth with Hecate's torches. In most versions she forbids the earth to produce, or she neglects the earth and in the depth of her despair she causes nothing to grow. Helios, the sun, who sees everything, eventually told Demeter what had happened and at length she discovered the place of her abode. Finally, Zeus, pressed by the cries of the hungry people and by the other deities who also heard their anguish, forced Hades to return Persephone.
Hades indeed complied with the request, but first he tricked her, giving her some pomegranate seeds to eat. Persephone was released by Hermes, who had been sent to retrieve her, but because she had tasted food in the underworld, she was obliged to spend a third of each year (the winter months) there, and the remaining part of the year with the gods above

I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

Entering a concert venue at a church, I noticed this conehead clinging to a wall. Since it did not have a ticket, I removed it for a photo session at home and released it later.
Hook-faced Conehead - Pyrgocorypha uncinata (female, body length 35 mm--cone to base of ovipositor)
Adults of this species overwinter and breed in spring. Males are always brown, but females can be either green or brown.

I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)
"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)

Step outside!
It may be unkind of me to suppose that the colonial administration was, shall we say, a bit up themselves. Products of Victorian Great Britain as they were, they possessed a big retrospective mirror in their imagining of what was best for this particular colony; if this wall is anything to go by.
Not so long ago, over a heaped bowl of tagliatelle, loaded with the Max, and entangled, we bumped into Frederick Eccleston du Faur. He'd inserted himself into Sydney's art scene even before it had a permanent gallery; in time becoming first of all a trustee of the Gallery's Board, then later its President. He is said to have had a significant role in the selection, acquisition and placement of these classically-themed bronze reliefs. Yes, they were placed after Federation, but realistically it wasn't until after 1986 that the colonial umbilical cord was cut.
Marble was considered for these reliefs until the harsh Antipodean sunshine suggested something more sensible. That same sunshine is why you now have this high contrast monotone depiction: too bright and too interesting for colonial Sydney in real life. Pulling the strings between London and Sydney was a tiresome business, so in time, the project lost momentum. Actually, it fizzled out to a point where the last installed panel just sort of turned up. After it was installed, and the then President of the Board died — the Sulman after whom the Prize is named — the flame went out completely. So now, if you visit the Gallery, there are great blank niches in the façade, still empty, and waiting…

Musei Vaticani, Città del Vaticano.
The Vatican Museums, in Viale Vaticano in Rome, inside the Vatican City, are among the greatest museums in the world, since they display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries, including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world.
Pope Julius II founded the museums in the 16th century. The Sistine Chapel and the Stanze della Segnatura decorated by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums.
The Vatican Museums trace their origin to one marble sculpture, purchased 500 years ago. The sculpture of Laocoön, the priest who, according to Greek mythology, tried to convince the people of ancient Troy not to accept the Greeks' "gift" of a hollow horse, was discovered 14 January 1506, in a vineyard near the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Pope Julius II sent Giuliano da Sangallo and Michelangelo Buonarroti, who were working at the Vatican, to examine the discovery. On their recommendation, the pope immediately purchased the sculpture from the vineyard owner. The pope put the sculpture of Laocoön and his sons in the grips of a sea serpent on public display at the Vatican exactly one month after its discovery.
The Museums celebrated their 500th anniversary in October 2006 by permanently opening the excavations of a Vatican Hill necropolis to the public.

Kathakali ( കഥകളി) is a highly stylised classical Indian dance-drama noted for its attractive make-up of characters, their elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion. It originated in the country's southern state of Kerala during the 16th century AD, approximately between 1555 and 1605, and has been updated over the years with improved looks, refined gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing and precise drumming.
This is a church on Largo Chiado in Lisbon - Igreja Da Nossa Senhora Da Encarnação. It's a relatively simple building but robust in scale; the steps and balustrade being the primary embellishment.

Built in 1922 in the Classical Revival style, the old Covington Train Station was built to serve the Chesapeake & Ohio and Louisville & Nashville railroads, and replaced an earlier wood-frame structure located in the vicinity of the intersection of 8th Street and Russell Street, approximately one block to the north.
The building features a red tile roof, large glass and metal canopy over the front door, four ionic-style white terra cotta pilasters, and white terra-cotta trim. In front of the building, the brick-paved Harvey Court, once used to load and unload passengers, has been remarkably well-preserved, though it has since been cut off from its original connection to the intersection at nearby Pike Street.
Inside, the building features a large passenger waiting hall in the center with three tall arched bays on either side, allowing in ample natural light, and two wings to the north and south of this space, which housed offices and a waiting room for people of color.
To the rear, the building is adjacent to the concrete railroad viaduct built between 1927 and 1929, which features a passenger concourse under the tracks, which is presently in a state of partial dilapidation after a long period of disuse and lack of proper maintenance.
The building served as the local passenger train depot until the late 1960s, upon which passenger service ceased in Covington due to declining ridership. The building sat abandoned until the 1980s, by which point it was in an advanced state of deterioration. The building was saved from demolition, and adaptively reused as a multi-tenant office building known as Covington Station.
The building was once neighbored by several other structures to the south along Russell Street and Harvey Court, including the four-story Greek Revival-style Elliston House Hotel, and several Italianate and Greek Revival-style brick townhouses, which were abandoned and demolished in the 1980s, during the zenith of the city's decline.

Toowoomba. Toowoomba is Australia’s largest inland city except for our national capital, Canberra. In 2011 the Toowoomba metropolitan area had 106,000 residents. Why has Toowoomba been so successful in terms of its growth? Well it is the regional capital for the whole of the Darling Downs, one of the most rich and fertile agricultural regions of Australia. Because of the wealthy pastoralists and farmers of the region it has been a business and education hub for a huge region. It has many private and boarding schools and it has a varied industrial base although many of the industries are related to agricultural processing and supplies. Toowoomba had a large foundry from 1874 which made agricultural equipment for cereals, windmills, water pumps and railway engines. It soon had flourmills and bread making factories, butter factories from the 1890s and bacon factories and pork processors. Today it still has a large abattoir works in Oakey. In the past it was also a major railway city with railway workshops and branch rail lines to the north, south and west and the first interstate railway connection through New England to Sydney from 1888.
The first village on the Darling Downs was Drayton established in 1842. It is now just a suburb of Toowoomba. Farm lots were sold here, especially for market gardeners in the 1850s and Toowoomba on slightly higher ground than Drayton developed. Hotels and both the original Anglican and Presbyterian churches opened in Toowoomba in 1857. Farmers prospered on the fertile soils with the mild and damp climate and so the town prospered too. A shire council was formed in 1860 and the Botanic gardens were founded in 1865. Then as we already know the railway from Ipswich reached the town in 1867. By the mid 1870s Toowoomba had a population of 4,000 people and most of the facilities people expected of a town. In addition it had schools. A private Church of England School opened in 1856 and before 1865 another three private school had opened. The first state school also opened in 1865. A further 20 private schools opened before 1900. Current survivors from this early period include Toowoomba Boy’s Grammar (1876) and Christian Brothers College (1899). Today private boarding schools (7) and public schools are supplemented with a large TAFE college and the University of Southern Queensland (1992) which has its home base in Toowoomba. By the early 20th century Toowoomba was earning a reputation as a garden city and tourism became important. Now with exploration for coal seam gas across the Darling Downs and other mining further west Toowoomba is planning a major expansion of its airport to take large jets and other infrastructure to take the city far into the 21st century. Toowoomba is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia. Its City Council joined with adjoining rural councils in 2008 and the council region has over 153,000 people. But it has not forgotten its past. Over 50 buildings are registered on the state heritage register. We will see some of them in Ruthven Street and nearby areas. The register includes some of the 1870s mansions as well as churches, commercial buildings, the Court House, the Empire Theatre, railway station complex etc.

Cobb and Co as we heard in Charleville was instrumental in opening up Western QLD. Early routes opened up the west, later routes left from rail terminals. The Dalby-Roma route began in 1868 and ran until 1887 as the train covered this route from 1888. The Roma-Charleville route started in 1876 and ran till 1887. It ran three times a week. The last Cobb and Co coach ran in 1924 after which the horses, harnesses, coaches, depots and land etc were all sold. Cobb survived for so long as it switched routes quickly, it was adaptable, it provided feeder services to railways and the main stay was also the contract to carry the mails. Their coaches were sturdy and withstood the bad road conditions. All coaches were of the same design and parts were interchangeable between coaches. Passenger fares were always expensive but they still carried many passengers as there was no other transport option. Coaches carried 11 people with only six seated inside the coach. Cobb used good horses and although trips were slow, horses were changed about every 20 kms, so even a short run of about 80 kms would require 40 horses. Horses were used for about 18 months only as great stamina was required from the horses. Drivers had bad work conditions and yet they were expected to entertain passengers with songs and stories on the long trips. The company enterprise required great logistics and sufficient hay and horse feed was required at every changing station along every route which was an enormous task when you remember changing station were very 20 kms along the routes.
