Andromeda Rock
In Greek mythology, Andromeda is the daughter of the Aethiopian king Cepheus and his wife Cassiopeia. When Cassiopeia's hubris leads her to boast that Andromeda is more beautiful than the Nereids, Poseidon sends a sea monster, Cetus, to ravage Aethiopia as divine punishment.[1] Andromeda is stripped and chained naked to a rock as a sacrifice to sate the monster, but is saved from death by Perseus.
Her name is the Latinized form of the Greek Ἀνδρομέδα (Androméda) or Ἀνδρομέδη (Andromédē): "ruler of men",[2] from ἀνήρ, ἀνδρός (anēr, andrós) "man", and medon, "ruler".
As a subject, Andromeda has been popular in art since classical times; it is one of several Greek myths of a Greek hero's rescue of the intended victim of an archaic hieros gamos (sacred marriage), giving rise to the "princess and dragon" motif. From the Renaissance, interest revived in the original story, typically as derived from Ovid's account.

Mythology[edit]
A small Roman fresco from Pompeii
In Greek mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of the North African kingdom of Aethiopia.
Her mother Cassiopeia boasted that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids, the nymph-daughters of the sea god Nereus and often seen accompanying Poseidon. To punish the queen for her arrogance, Poseidon, brother to Zeus and god of the sea, sent a sea monster named Cetus to ravage the coast of Aethiopia including the kingdom of the vain queen. The desperate king consulted the Oracle of Apollo, who announced that no respite would be found until the king sacrificed his daughter, Andromeda, to the monster. Stripped naked, she was chained to a rock on the coast.
Perseus was returning from having slain the Gorgon Medusa. After he happened upon the chained Andromeda, he approached Cetus while invisible (for he was wearing Hades's helm), and killed the sea monster. He set Andromeda free, and married her in spite of her having been previously promised to her uncle Phineus. At the wedding a quarrel took place between the rivals and Phineus was turned to stone by the sight of the Gorgon's head.[3]
Andromeda followed her husband, first to his native island of Serifos, where he rescued his mother Danaë, and then to Tiryns in Argos. Together, they became the ancestors of the family of the Perseidae through the line of their son Perses. Perseus and Andromeda had seven sons: Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, Sthenelus, Electryon, and Cynurus as well as two daughters, Autochthe and Gorgophone. Their descendants ruled Mycenae from Electryon down to Eurystheus, after whom Atreus attained the kingdom, and would also include the great hero Heracles. According to this mythology, Perseus is the ancestor of the Persians.
At the port city of Jaffa (today part of Tel Aviv) an outcrop of rocks near the harbour has been associated with the place of Andromeda's chaining and rescue by the traveler Pausanias, the geographer Strabo and the historian of the Jews Josephus.[4]
After Andromeda's death, as Euripides had promised Athena at the end of his Andromeda, produced in 412 BCE,[5] the goddess placed her among the constellations in the northern sky, near Perseus and Cassiopeia; the constellation Andromeda, so known since antiquity, is named after her.
Constellations[edit]
Andromeda (1869) Edward Poynter
Andromeda is represented in the northern sky by the constellation Andromeda, which contains the Andromeda Galaxy.
Four constellations are associated with the myth. Viewing the fainter stars visible to the naked eye, the constellations are rendered as:
A huge man wearing a crown, upside down with respect to the ecliptic (the constellation Cepheus)
A smaller figure, next to the man, sitting on a chair; as it is near the pole star, it may be seen by observers in the Northern Hemisphere through the whole year, although sometimes upside down (the constellation Cassiopeia)
A maiden, chained up, facing or turning away from the ecliptic (the constellation Andromeda), next to Pegasus
A whale just under the ecliptic (the constellation Cetus)
Other constellations related to the story are:
Perseus
The constellation Pegasus, who was born from the stump of Medusa's neck, after Perseus had decapitated her
The constellation Pisces, which may have been treated as two fish caught by Dictys the fisherman who was brother of Polydectes, king of Seriphos, the place where Perseus and his mother Danaë were stranded
Perseus and Andromeda in art[edit]
Cesari: Perseus saving Andromeda, 1596, Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
Sophocles and Euripides (and in more modern times, Corneille) made the story the subject of tragedies, and its incidents were represented in numerous ancient works of art, including Greek vases. Jean-Baptiste Lully's opera, Persée, also dramatizes the myth.
Andromeda has been the subject of numerous ancient and modern works of art, which typically show the moment of rescue, with Andromeda usually still chained, and often naked or nearly so. Examples include: one of Titian's poesies (Wallace Collection), and compositions by Joachim Wtewael (Louvre), Veronese (Rennes), many versions by Rubens, Ingres, and Gustave Moreau. From the Renaissance onward the chained nude figure of Andromeda typically was the centre of interest. Rembrandt's Andromeda Chained to the Rocks is unusual in showing her alone, fearfully awaiting the monster.
If by dull rhymes our English must be chain’d,
And, like Andromeda, the Sonnet sweet
Fetter’d, in spite of pained loveliness;
Let us find out, if we must be constrain’d,
Sandals more interwoven and complete
To fit the naked foot of poesy;
Let us inspect the lyre, and weigh the stress
Of every chord, and see what may be gain’d
By ear industrious, and attention meet:
Misers of sound and syllable, no less
Than Midas of his coinage, let us be
Jealous of dead leaves in the bay wreath crown;
So, if we may not let the Muse be free,
She will be bound with garlands of her own.
“”
"If By Dull Rhymes Our English Must Be Chain’d"
John Keats (1795-1821)[6]
The Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino composed an hour-long operatic drama called Perseo e Andromeda in 2000.
Film[edit]
In 1973, an animated film called Perseus (20 minutes) was made in the Soviet Union as part of the Soviet animated film collection called Legends and mуths of Ancient Greece.[7][8]
The 1981 film Clash of the Titans retells the story of Perseus, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia, but makes a few changes (notably Cassiopeia boasts that her daughter is more beautiful than Thetis as opposed to the Nereids as a group). Thetis was indeed a Nereid and also the future mother of Achilles. Andromeda and Perseus meet and fall in love after he saves her soul from the enslavement of Thetis' son, Calibos, whereas in the myth, they simply meet as Perseus returns home from having slain Medusa. In the film, the monster is called a kraken, although it is depicted as a lizard-like creature rather than a squid; and combining two elements of the myth, Perseus defeats the sea monster by showing it Medusa's face, turning the monster into stone. Andromeda is depicted as being strong-willed and independent, whereas in the stories she is only really mentioned as being the princess whom Perseus saves from the sea monster. Andromeda was portrayed by Judi Bowker in this film.
Andromeda also features in the 2010 film Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981 version. Several changes were made in regard to the myth, most notably that Perseus did not marry Andromeda after he rescued her from the sea monster. Andromeda was portrayed by Alexa Davalos. The character was played by Rosamund Pike in the sequel Wrath of the Titans, the second of a planned trilogy. In the end of the sequel, Perseus and Andromeda begin a relationship.
In the Japanese anime Saint Seiya the character, Shun, represents the Andromeda constellation using chains as his main weapons, reminiscent of Andromeda being chained before she was saved by Perseus. In order to attain the Andromeda Cloth, he was chained between two large pillars of rock and he had to overcome the chains before the tide came in and killed him, also reminiscent of this myth.
Andromeda appears in Disney's Hercules: The Animated Series as a new student of "Prometheus Academy" which Hercules and other characters from Greek mythology attend.
Novels[edit]
In Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, there are a few references to Andromeda. The most obvious is that the series' lead villains have a cruise ship which serves as their headquarters and is called The Princess Andromeda.
Andromeda is the main character in Harry Turtledove's short story "Miss Manners' Guide to Greek Missology", published in Esther Friesner's Chicks in Chainmail series of humorous feminist fantasy collections, and reprinted in other anthologies afterwards. It is a satire filled with role reversals, puns, and deliberate anachronisms relating to pop culture.
Andromeda is Anna's full name in Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper, which was turned into a movie in 2010. In the novel there are several references to mythology, as Anna's dad Brian is an astronomer in his free time.

Scotrail Inter7City set formed of 43143 & 43179 slow for the crossing into the bi-directional Up & Down platform at Kingussie on 4th July 2025 with 1T88 1450 Inverness to Glasgow Queen Street. When I was here last time I didn't get a shot of what, from a distance appears to be a bracketed gantry on the north side of the station - only when close did I see it was two separate signals!
Not sure how long the 25 short HST sets have to go in Scotland - rumour is they'll be phased out over the next year or two, no doubt replaced by some inferior riding Japanese or Spanish tat!
La planta está formada por tres naves separadas por pilares y otra nave de transepto. La nave central está precedida por un ábside rectangular y un presbiterio (o coro), a ambos lados de este se sitúan dos estancias (¿ergastulae?) que se comunican por una puerta con arco de medio punto y una ventana de tres arcos que apoyen en columnillas de mármol, el transepto se amplía con sendos pórticos, las dos estancias laterales situadas a los pies se conectan por tres arcos sobre pilares (el más septentrional cegado) con la nave central y con dobles ventanas con el transepto, y finaliza en una puerta sin pórtico.
La Iglesia de San Pedro de la Nave es, posiblemente, la joya más importante de la arquitectura visigótica ibérica en la que destaca la excelente conservación de su arquitectura y su escultura. Como es habitual en los monumentos prerrománicos, los historiadores y arqueólogos discrepan en las fechas y procesos constructivos, aunque hay bastante coincidencia en que fue construida como iglesia de un monasterio en el siglo VII durante la monarquía goda de Toledo, previo a la invasión musulmana, en dos etapas. La planta es combinación de cruz griega (mitad oriental) y basilical (mitad occidental) con gran compartimentación de espacios, como era preceptivo en la liturgia hispánica antigua que exigía un espacio para el sacerdote, otro para el resto de eclesiásticos y un tercero para los laicos.

i am still swimming in the sea even though the temperature is dipping below 5°c (41°f). because its dark i don't tend to take my water proof camera to swimming with me. also because its so cold there is not enough time to bang off a roll before you have to get out. but imagine this: 2 days ago what you see in the photo was covered in ice from because of a leaking pipe on the pier. quite surreal swimming round it i can tell you, really wish i had a camera with me.

The central pagoda, Soon U Ponya Shin Pagoda, is connected by a set of covered staircases that run up the 240 m hill.
Sagaing was the capital of Sagaing Kingdom (1315–1364), one of the minor kingdoms that rose up after the fall of Pagan dynasty, where one of Thihathu's sons, Athinkhaya, established himself.[1]:227 During the Ava period (1364–1555), the city was the common fief of the crown prince or senior princes. The city briefly became the royal capital between 1760 and 1763 in the reign of King Naungdawgyi.
Esta escala forma parte de la ruta que el navío embajador de los doscientos años de la Carta Magna gaditana está realizando por los puertos españoles, como vehículo difusor de los hechos históricos que se conmemoran este año 2012.
El objetivo de esta ruta del Galeón La Pepa, es acercar el conocimiento de estos hechos históricos a aquellas personas que visiten la nave, convertida para ello en centro de interpretación, así como invitarles a la programación de actos de La Pepa 2012.
Desde su puesta en marcha en la capital gaditana el pasado mes de junio el galeón La Pepa ha abierto sus cubiertas en Bilbao, Santander, La Coruña, Huelva y Sevilla, puertos en los que ha recibido a 129.661 personas. Estos visitantes que han recorrido el interior del navío, han recibido información sobre cómo era Cádiz a principios del siglo XIX y los hechos históricos relacionados con la promulgación de la Constitución de 1812, así como los principales artículos del texto constitucional.

M Le Mammouth, Les Herculéennes, La Flèche (Arrow) révèlent un sentier d’art.
Bouziès affiche décidément son goût pour l'art in situ en accueillant une nouvelle œuvre monumentale sur sa commune. Entre le Mammouth géant sorti de la grotte de Pech Merle et le chemin de halage sculpté, Les Herculéennes de l'artiste Laurent Reynès, ont trouvé leur place. Conçues à Cahors dans le cadre du festival Cahors Juin Jardins 2017, elles ont été réinterprétées à Bouziès, jeudi 2 novembre, par l'artiste qui en a fait don à la commune. Les Herculéennes de Bouziès s'inscrivent désormais dans le parcours des jardins paysage mené par l'association Juin Jardins et le Parc naturel régional des Causses du Quercy.
De bois et de pierres du Lot, l'installation rappelle les constructions mégalithiques de l'architecture première et interroge le sens de notre instinct de construire. Quelles formes avaient les premières architectures ? À quoi servaient-elles ? demande Laurent Reynès, sculpteur et architecte de formation. Œuvre monumentale, formes primitives, matières élémentaires et naturelles, les Herculéennes de Bouziès imposent leur puissance comme les vestiges de constructions originelles et révèlent un art néolithique contemporain à la dimension du site naturel qui les accueille. Dans le paysage lotois fait de falaises et de méandres, où l'art rupestre et l'habitat néolithique occupent une place fondamentale, Laurent Reynès a fait émerger les traces d'un passé réinventé. Le sentier d'art qui relie désormais le village de Bouziès au chemin de halage positionne la commune comme espace d'art et de nature.

Formed in 1912, Pinellas County quickly outgrew its original courthouse and in 1916 the Board of County Commissioners voted in favor of a $160,000 bond issue to finance the construction of a new courthouse and jail. Well-known architect Francis J. Kennard was chosen for the design, and the land was purchased for $5,000 on January 19, 1917. Contracts totaling $119,823 were awarded to Bates, Hudnall, & Jetton and G.A. Miller & Company for the construction of the courthouse and jail, respectively. The building was completed on time and within budget in 1918. The first floor contained the county's business records and commissioners' offices. The second floor housed one large courtroom, judges' offices, and jury and grand jury rooms. The courthouse is an excellent example of Neo-Classical Revival architecture, similar to other early 20th century public buildings in Florida. The Old Pinellas County Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance as the first permanent building in Pinellas County erected as the seat of county government. It was designated a local historic landmark by the City of Clearwater in partnership with the Pinellas County Historic Preservation Board in 2015.

From the sublime beauty of nature yesterday to the harsh form of human artefact. Still it interests me with it’s patterns and focus blurs.
I can understand why abstracts are less popular on Flickr but I like the way they tease my mind out of its comfortable-in-the-known lethargy. Probably just me {sighs}.
This was taken in June (like yesterday’s) but when I was repairing my TV recorder. I noticed the rather neat main board. How much they have changed since I was last seriously wielding a soldering iron!
Originally I took this for a macro Mondays theme but then decided on something else, far better I am sure. This is the main heatsink on the largest chip.
I’m pretty averse to calling anything cool since the word was appropriated to mean something else, but it kind of fits the subject so the title is a bit of a joke at myself.
This is surprisingly close to the in-camera original. Just a play with colours and a bit of glow.
The 7DWF group is on holiday at the moment so this is just getting posted into the aether on a wish. Happy Thursday anyway :)
Thanks for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!
[Handheld in daylight. Developed in Lightroom mainly to get a range of tones without too many haloes. (My original intention was to make this a black and white or a duotone, but I got sidetracked into a colourful direction). Dropped the colour temperature to get the cool blue.
Processed in Affinity Photo with a bit of work in Curves and Shadows and Highlights to lighten the dark bits.
The layer was duplicated with Glow blend mode to get the soft neon effect, nothing more.
I tried a black frame to see how it worked. Not totally convinced but any comments would be very welcome!]
The top of Shenandoah Mountain forms part of the border between Augusta and Highland Counties in Virginia, and this view is at an overlook at the summit. On other occasions, I've photographed the view head on while standing along the wall, so this time I decided to try a broader shot. This was the first stop I made last weekend when driving to McDowell for the annual Highland Maple Festival.
