Portland ME. Keeping watch over the Time and Temperature Building

This female European garden spider (Araneus diadematus), with a bit darker colour than typical has built here web on a large mallow in our garden.

 

Typically she hides above the web underneath a leaf and would be invisible if you don’t notice the web, but by poking her a little I got her to change position (and side of the web) to be out in the open.

 

Then I got on my back on the lawn under the plant and shot upwards which turned out great if I may say so myself.

W are going up to the ruins of castle in Monolithos :)

 

Monolithos is a Greek village on the island of Rhodes. The name of the settlement comes from the word "monos lithos", which means a lonely rock and that rises 3 km west of the village. The most tourist attraction in Monolithos is the medieval castle, built on top of a 100m rock. This castle was built in 1480 by the Knights of Saint John to protect the island from attacks. In fact, this castle was never conquered. The Castle of Monolithos is widely ruined today but it offers great views of the sea and the two islets opposite to it. Inside the Castle, there is a small working chapel dedicated to Agios Panteleimon (Saint Pantaleon). Access to the castle is by a staircase cut into the rock. From the ruins of the castle there is a beautiful view of the sea, mountains and islands.

Teraz wchodzimy na górę, by obejrzeć z bliska ruiny zamku w Monolithos :)

 

Monolithos – miejscowość w Grecji, na wyspie Rodos. Nazwa osady pochodzi od słowa "monos lithos", co oznacza samotną skałę, która wznosi się 3 km na zachód od miejscowości. Największą atrakcją Monolithos stanowią ruiny zamku joannitów wznoszącego się na samotnej skale. Górują na wysokości 240 m n.p.m. nad zatokami Kerameni oraz Aliki. Miejsce to już w V wieku pełniło funkcję obserwacyjne i ostrzegawcze przed najazdem wroga. W 1480 roku kawalerowie rodyjscy na rozkaz Wielkiego Mistrza Piotra z Abusson wybudowali zamek. W czasach joannitów miejscowa ludność mogła tutaj liczyć na schronienie. Niestety do dnia dzisiejszego przetrwały jedynie monumentalne mury twierdzy oraz niewielka kaplica Agios Pantelimon. Z ruin zamku rozciąga się przepiękna panorama na morze, pobliskie góry oraz wyspy.

Oleander (Nerium oleander) is a shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested. The ancient city of Volubilis in Morocco may have taken its name from the Berber name oualilt for the flower. Oleander is a vigorous grower in warm subtropical regions, where it is extensively used as an ornamental plant in parks, along roadsides and in private gardens. It is most commonly grown in its natural shrub form, but can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk. In cold-winter climates Oleander can be grown in greenhouses and conservatories, or as potted indoor plants that can be kept outside in the summer. Oleander has historically been considered a poisonous plant because some of its compounds may exhibit toxicity, especially to animals, when consumed in large amounts. Among these compounds are oleandrin and oleandrigenin, known as cardiac glycosides, which are known to have a narrow therapeutic index and can be toxic when ingested.

Oleander pospolity (Nerium oleander) – gatunek rośliny z rodziny toinowatych (Apocynaceae). Występuje na całym obszarze śródziemnomorskim od Maroka i Portugalii aż po południową Azję (prowincja Junnan w południowych Chinach). Jest uprawiany jako roślina ozdobna w wielu krajach świata. W Polsce uprawiany przeważnie jako roślina doniczkowa w mieszkaniach oraz w oranżeriach, szklarniach i w ogrodach. Oleander jest rośliną trującą. W większych dawkach zawarta w roślinie oleandryna wywołuje brak czucia w ustach, mdłości, wymioty, zaburzenia pracy serca, rozszerzenie źrenic i duszności. Właściwości trujące oleandra znane były już za czasów Aleksandra Wielkiego, pisał o nich również Dioskurides. Z surowca sporządzano dawniej truciznę na szczury. Oleander stosowany był też jako roślina lecznicza. W starożytnym Rzymie, Grecji i w Indiach oleander był używany do leczenia zaburzeń pracy serca. W lekospisach niemieckich w pierwszej połowie XIX wieku oleander zalecany był do leczenia malarii, przy napadach dreszczy i wysokiej gorączki.
