Juego del tipo Cluedo pero mas elaborado. En la foto se ve el momento en el que un jugador hace sus deducciones y procede a descartar un sospechoso marcándolo con una equis. El titulo de la foto mezcla la mítica frase de Sherlock Holmes, cuando este sacaba alguna conclusión, con el nombre del novicio franciscano Also ayudante de Guillermo de Baskerville en el famoso libro de Umberto Eco "El Nombre de la Rosa" que sirvio de inspiración para este juego y muchas otras obras mas. Tercera foto presentada al concurso de fotografia ludica de Cordoba.
"¡Huye, Adso, de los profetas y de los que están dispuestos a morir por la verdad, porque suelen provocar también la muerte de muchos otros, a menudo antes que la propia, y a veces en lugar de la propia!"
Fray Guillermo de Baskerville de la Novela "El Nombre de la Rosa" de Umberto Eco

The ancient parish of St Pancras once stretched almost from Oxford Street to Highgate. By the early 1800s the original parish church had become neglected. The local population had declined, while the population in southern part of the parish had grown rapidly. A new church was needed to serve the newly built up areas surrounding Euston Square
After a competition involving thirty or so tenders, designs by the local architect William Inwood, in collaboration with his son Henry William Inwood, were accepted. The builder was Isaac Seabrook.
The first stone was laid by the Duke of York at a ceremony on 1 July 1819. It was carved with a Greek inscription, of which the English translation is, “May the light of the blessed Gospel thus ever illuminate the dark temples of the Heathen.”
The church was consecrated by the Bishop of London on 7 May 1822, and the sermon was preached by the vicar of St Pancras, James Moore.
The total cost of the building, including land and furnishings, was £76,679, making it the most expensive church to be built in London since the rebuilding of St Paul’s Cathedral. It was designed to seat 2,500 people.
The church has a Grade I listing from English Heritage, as an important early example of the Greek Revival architecture. It is mostly built from brick, faced with Portland stone. The portico and the tower are entirely of stone. All the external decoration, including the capitals of the columns, is of terracotta.
The Inwoods drew on two ancient Greek monuments for their inspiration – the Erechtheum and the Tower of the Winds, both on the Acropolis in Athens.
Henry William Inwood was in Athens at the time that the plans for St Pancras were accepted, and he brought back to England plaster casts of details of the Erechtheum, and some excavated fragments.
The pillars at the west end of the church are Ionic in style. The octagonal tower, modelled on the Tower of the Winds, also influences the shape of the domed central vestibule. The church’s most celebrated features are the two sets of caryatids that stand above the north and south entrances to the Crypt. Unlike the original figures on the Acropolis, each of the St Pancras caryatids holds an extinguished torch or an empty jug, reflecting their position as guardians of the dead.
The caryatids are made of terracotta, constructed in sections around cast-iron columns, and were modelled by John Charles Felix Rossi, who provided all the terracotta on the building.

This boat gave the impression of much home work but much love. I fantasized that someone is on their way around the world!
The above photo features a leaf formation I created, transforming the bright fiery colours of fall into a brilliant set of flames - dancing in reds, yellows, oranges, and deep purples. The vibrant flames reach out from the muddy shores, formed by the mutual support of each leaf by the ones surrounding, and coming together in suspended buoyancy on the waters of Trout Lake.
It was a cool fall day in Vancouver. The leaves were scattered across the moist ground in the park next to Trout Lake. While there were the usual fall colours to be found, it was the vibrant and deep reds that drew my attention.
I collected a few and walked to the water's edge to begin my attempt at bringing fire to the water. With most of the nature art I make, I was put in a place of needing to work through my attachments and open to having patience for the process. In this instance it was the number of dogs who ran over to see what I was doing; each one disrupting the still surface and causing me to start the piece over again.
Eventually there was a lull in the canine visits and I was able to have the leaves balance upon the previous ones in order to stretch out into the lake. Partway through, two little girls came over to see what I was up to. I told them how I was making art with the leaves and after a few questions they ran off with their moms into the park.
A while later, the two girls came back excitedly with their tiny hands full of leaves. They wanted to contribute to the art and add the leaves they brought with them. Eager to help, my new friends added their touch before saying farewell and departing. That part made my whole day! (admittedly, my controlling self came out and I re-did the leaves they brought after they left).
Something about this form of art always captures the interest and excitement of children.
