"Turn the lights down
Rest your case
Leave me lonely sugar
This honeymoon is alright
State your rights lightly
Leave your wicked minds outside
The time has come, to rest these tired eyes
Forever on these sacred given vowels,
will sit around by me
They're stronger than anything, than anything
Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid we'll get ourselves burned
Heroes and saints better stand by our side now
By our side
Reason says
Please don't break
Fortune is in the way it swings
Surely we'll get by
Treason lives, in whenever I preach
Deep within these promises fade
For lullabies sung on these nights of ours
We place our bets in here
To be stronger than anything
Than anything
Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid we'll get ourselves burned
Heroes and saints better stand by our side now
Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid we'll get ourselves burned
Heroes and saints stand by our side now
Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid we'll get ourselves burned
Heroes and saints stand by our side now
All these lonely nights of ours"
I photographed this stray cat in my backyard about half an hour ago, today, Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012. I wanted a brand new photo to dedicate to my good Italian flickr pal Stefano Bollini ( akabolla) for helping me to "catch a mouse" yesterday! ( He knows what I mean).
Grazie mille, Stefano! Greetings from Greece! Ciao!

The Royal Palace of Knossos is the largest of the Minoan period; a building complex covering an area of 22,000 m² situated 5 km south of Heraklion. The palace belonged to the Minoan King Minos.
The first palace was build about 2000 BC, but the southern end was destroyed about 1900 BC by an earthquake, which was again destroyed by an earthquake in about 1700 BC. The similarity of building styles between the palaces of Malia and Phaestos are in contract to the first palace of Knossos. Significantly the corridors at Knossos do not follow a straight line and justify the myth of a labyrinth. A larger palace was built around 15th century BC. In the throne room was the administrative from where the rulers gathered and governed the island. The palace was again destroyed in 14th century BC, this time by fire and ceased to be the ruling centre.
The first excavations of Knossos were begun by M Kalokerinou in 1878 and were continued in 1900 by Sir Arthur Evans, an Englishman, who found the basic structure. Excavations continued with Sir Arthur reinforcing the palace until 1931.
