A tribute to one great mini series as a prequel to Spartacus « blood and sand ».

The appeal to the public of the games was as bloody entertainment and the fascination which came from contests which were literally a matter of life and death. Hugely popular events were held in massive arenas throughout the Roman Empire and some of them were raised to superstar status.

Fight with honor...and die the same !

Let's be silent, that we may hear the whisper of the Gods!

Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost.

Was blessed with some great clouds and light in the Valley of the Gods on this visit to southern Utah. Needed about 20 Flickr friends with me at this setting, as it was pretty in every direction.

Godafoss (The Waterfall Of The Gods) is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall.

Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.

End of the day there in the Valley of the Gods.

L:ate day light along the Valley of the Gods Road.

Really liked the light here and the compression zooming in at 105mm.

What a great road through some great scenery in southern Utah.

Das Valley of the Gods ähnelt im Aussehen dem wesentlich bekannteren und touristisch erschlossenen Monument Valley und weist vergleichbare Sandsteintürme und Felsnadeln auf.

Der Mythologie der Navajo zufolge sind die Felsformationen Plätze der Stärke, an denen die Geister der Vorfahren wohnen, speziell im Valley of the Gods. Die markanten Sandsteintürme sind versteinerte Krieger des Stammes, die um persönlichen Schutz angerufen werden können. Sie stellen Leibwächter dar, deren Macht und Stärke die jungen Männer auf dem Weg in den Krieg begleitet.

The Valley of the Gods is similar in appearance to the much better known and more touristically developed Monument Valley and has comparable sandstone towers and sea stacks.

According to Navajo mythology, the rock formations are places of strength where ancestral spirits dwell, especially in the Valley of the Gods. The distinctive sandstone towers are petrified warriors of the tribe who can be invoked for personal protection. They represent bodyguards whose power and strength accompanies the young men on their way to war.

My sweet Lord

I really want to see you

Really want to be with you

Really want to see you, Lord

But it takes so long, my Lord

The pretty Valley of the Gods in southern Utah ... with a pretty sunset. It was glorious to be there.
