Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos or Porphyrogenitus, "the Purple-born", was the fourth Emperor of the Macedonian dynasty of the Byzantine Empire, reigning from 913 to 959.
His nickname alludes to the Purple Room of the Imperial palace, decorated with porphyry, where legitimate children of reigning emperors were normally born. Constantine was also born in this room, although his mother Zoe had not been married to Leo at that time. Nevertheless, the epithet allowed him to underline his position as the legitimized son, as opposed to all others who claimed the throne during his lifetime. Sons born to a reigning Emperor held precedence in the Eastern Roman line of succession over elder sons not born "in the purple"

Head and hand of Constantine, Capitoline Museum- Rome
This colossal bronze head is what remains of a larger statue (see the hand below). Like the marble head, it is both a portrait with some recognizable realistic traits as well as an abstract portrait of imperial power. The over-large staring eyes may suggest an inner power or spirituality as well.

This is the first part of the weather-lore rhyme:
Red sky at night; shepherd's delight,
Red sky in the morning; shepherd's warning...
The 'red sky at night' rhyme is more than an old wives' tale though and has some meteorological foundation - in England at least.
Sometimes the phrase involves sailors rather than shepherds - both have a more than usual interest in the weather!
The end of a beautiful day, saturated with fresh air, warm sun, visual joy and lots of good photography.
We had to drive fast from Padstow to get the sun in the right place, we were 'the original sunset-chasers', tee hee.
We made it in time, of course I have the 'by the second' disappearance of the sun into the sea, however it was the other beauty surrounding it that interested me most!
Like this afterglow, that panoply of stunning colours.
No time wasted to bring my tripod, so, just found myself a spot to sit, rested my elbows on my knees and held my breath...
I hope you get as much pleasure out of them as I do, M, (*_*)

The statue of Constantine, the emperor who brought Christianity to the Roman masses, stands (or rather sits) outside York Minster on a blustery winter's night.
L’écorce
Oh mon vieil ami parle moi encore
Guide mes pensées comme autrefois
Que renaissent tes feuilles rouge et or
Pour que je m’enracine dans ta loi
Oh mon vieil ami je m’accroche à tes branches
J’implore ta sagesse et ta pitié sans honte
Pour moi l’heure n’est plus à la revanche
Ta sève nourricière d’une jouvence j’affronte
La caresse dure de l’écorce
Sonne le temps du divorce...
The new Lego gargoyle reminded me of Scree from the game Primal and I also thought that my Lego Constantine would have some dealings with him. So I created this image where John is getting information on exchange for a crystal.

A less known villain of Green Arrow (probably cause it was the Connor Hawke GA and not Oliver Queen) Drakon is a master martial artist. I just wish he would make an appearance in Arrow (not like the one in the first episode)

Aww..I'm so happy..I managed to buy Soom Arkose - Morivala of Death in light violet skin.
Although I had to sell two dolls of my collecitons. I love him so much even without face up.
I'm still not sure about the name. Constantine sounds good, but it's pretty long :D What do you think?
