This temple was devoted to the god of the sea Poseidon, brother of Zeus. Who in a marine country as Greece had a very important place in the Pantheon.
There is a legend involving the hero Theseus about this place.
Before Theseas (or Theseus) leave for his quest in Crete against the mythical beast Minotaur, his father Aegeas (or Aegeus) orderer him and his crew to have black sails, if his son was dead, or white sails, if his son was alive, on their return.
As Theseas was on his return from Crete to Athens, he and his crew forgot to change the sails from black to white!
So Aegeas fell of the cliff of Cape Sounio, from his sorrow for the loss of his son.
So the sea between Greece and Asia minor took it's name from that man and named, still today, Aegean sea. :)
After the gig one of the fans got on the stage, then passed out on one of the monitor speakers. Apparently it was a comfy place to sleep because he didn't move over although a few people nicely asked him to do so

"The statuary of the north transept portals is devoted to the Old Testament, and the events leading up to the birth of Christ, with particular emphasis on the Virgin Mary.

"Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a Roman Catholic church in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Paris, and is the seat of the Bishop of Chartres. Mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, it stands at the site of at least five cathedrals that have occupied the site since the Diocese of Chartres was formed as an episcopal see in the 4th century. It is in the High Gothic and Romanesque styles.
"The cathedral was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, which called it 'the high point of French Gothic art' and a 'masterpiece'.
"The cathedral is well-preserved and well-restored: the majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century. The building's exterior is dominated by heavy flying buttresses which allowed the architects to increase the window size significantly, while the west end is dominated by two contrasting spires – a 105-metre (349 ft) plain pyramid completed around 1160 and a 113-metre (377 ft) early 16th-century Flamboyant spire on top of an older tower. Equally notable are the three great façades, each adorned with hundreds of sculpted figures illustrating key theological themes and narratives.
"Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travellers. It remains so to the present, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's architecture and historical merit.
"The venerated Black Madonna enshrined within was Pontifically crowned by Pope Pius IX on 31 May 1855."

Who carried me through my childhood and left me in the devoted paws of another safe canine. 11/26/96-11/26/2010
I lost a treasured friend today
The dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And share her silent thoughts with me.
She'll come no longer to my call,
Retrieve no more her favorite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to His golden throne.
I love you Brandy. You will always be in my heart.

Caspar (white) and Biscuit (russet) are the resident guard dogs at our B&B. They've wormed their way into our affections with consumate stealth and skill. They call for us in the morning (by whimpering outside the door), escort us down to the electric gates whenever we leave, then wait there patiently for our return. Caspar retrieves fallen avocados and brings them to us as presents. And all we have to do to make their day is show them a little affection ... how could we not - we love 'em to pieces.
Darwin devoted many years to investigating the diversity of domesticated animals like pigeon. He consulted extensively with working-class pigeon fanciers, whose work and insights he respected. Darwin inherited no aristocratic titles and was not born to the peerage, but he was extremely wealthy, his assets consisting of land, major industrial investments, and the priceless social capital derived from his kinship with leaders of the industrial revolution and his schooling in elite institutions. Darwin and his scientific colleagues were gentleman scholars and naturalists, but Darwin ultimately betrayed his privileged cohort by advancing the cause of researchers from the working class and helping them become scientific professionals with solid employment opportunities Darwin also consulted experts from the working classes, such as those pigeon breeders, because he genuinely valued their observations and judgments.

Tellus Science Museum occupies more than 125,000 square feet and features galleries devoted to minerals, fossils, transportation technology, and hands-on science experiences.
The 120-seat digital Planetarium hosts a variety of astronomy programs, stargazing events, and family activities and 45-minute shows are shown throughout each day. The Weinman Mineral Gallery showcases one of the largest, most comprehensive collections in the Southeast, with more than 4,000 rocks, gems and minerals on display.
Tellus is a Latin word meaning "Earth" and may refer to Tellus Mater or Terra Mater, the ancient Roman earth mother goddess, and is also an alternative name for the planet Earth, often used in the science fiction genre (e.g. the books of E. E. Smith).
Tellus is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The museum is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM closing only on major holidays.
The Fossil Gallery features Stan, a 40-foot Tyrannosaurus rex along with other dinosaurs and fossils, allowing visitors to trace the history of life on Earth.
Collins Family My Big Back Yard offers hands-on science exhibits introducing concepts from the physical and life sciences through backyard science experiences.
Science of Motion allows visitors to re-live major developments in science and technology related to automobiles, aircraft, and space travel. In addition, Tellus includes a 200-seat presentation theater, a large multi-purpose room for events, four well-equipped science labs, an observatory, a full service cafe, and a gift shop that is almost equal in size to the Weinman’s original exhibit space.
Tellus Science Museum opened January 12, 2009, and has welcomed more than one million visitors.
Tellus was founded as the Weinman Mineral Museum in 1983, which closed in 2007 and reopened as Tellus Science Museum in 2009. The museum retains the original mineral displays in the Weinman Mineral Gallery.

I have been to Jerusalem in May 2009 for the purpose of a scientific historical research that was devoted to international politics in the Middle East. After spending a month in Jerusalem, visiting archives and a library, historical places and strolling along the streets, I got acquainted with the unique atmosphere of this ancient city. Jerusalem is a city of three world religions, a city where everything seems familiar and native, it is very cozy and benevolent. For those who are familiar with biblical stories, the city seems to be an animated historical book, the city of kings and prophets, a city that has gone through history and conquered time itself. Jerusalem is situated on the hills, in the beginning of May the weather turned out to be quite cool, a strong spring wind blew from the desert, but then the hot Middle Eastern weather was established. The heat in Jerusalem is not like one in the plains or on the coast of the country, here it gets dark very early, which is unusual for the summer months in Russia. I lived in a small hotel in the center of the city and got the opportunity to go for a walk on the historical center and the Old City. The streets of the city are full of visitors and tourists from all over the world, many languages are heard here. Quiet and benevolent atmosphere. This city has a special soul. This is exactly the impression that Jerusalem made on me.
Living in Jerusalem, I visited other places in Israel: Galilee and the Mediterranean coast.

Sono stato a Gerusalemme nel maggio 2009 per lo scopo di una ricerca storica scientifica dedicata alla politica internazionale in Medio Oriente. Dopo aver trascorso un mese a Gerusalemme, visitando archivi e la biblioteca, luoghi storici, solamente passeggiando per le vie di Gerusalemme, ho conosciuto l'atmosfera unica di questa antica città. Gerusalemme è una città di tre religioni del mondo più diffuse, una città dove tutto sembra familiare e “nativo”, è molto accogliente e benevolo. Per chi ha familiarità con le storie bibliche, la città sembra essere un libro storico animato, la città dei re e dei profeti, una città che ha passato attraverso la storia e ha conquistato il tempo stesso. Gerusalemme è situata sulle colline, all'inizio di maggio il tempo si è rivelato piuttosto fresco, un forte vento primaverile ha soffiato dal deserto, ma poi è stato stabilito il caldo di Medio Oriente. Il caldo a Gerusalemme non è come quello nelle pianure o sulla costa del paese, in Israele fa buio molto presto, una cosa insolita per i mesi estivi in Russia. Ho vissuto in un piccolo hotel nel centro della città e ho avuto l'opportunità di fare molte passeggiate nel centro storico e nella Città Vecchia di Gerusalemme. Le strade della città sono piene di visitatori e turisti da tutto il mondo, qui si parlano molte lingue. Atmosfera tranquilla e benevola. Questa città ha un'anima speciale. Questa è una buonissima impressione che Gerusalemme ha lasciato su di me.
Vivendo a Gerusalemme, ho visitato altri luoghi in Israele: Galilea e la costa mediterranea.
