Knights Point Outlook. Back in the 50's, the area was surveyed by Norman McGeorge and the Point was named after his dog Knight.
One of four knights (you can see part of a second knight) - a component of a much larger work at the Grounds for Sculpture.
Name: 'Space, Conquer or Die - Swiatowid'
Artist: Andrzej Pitynski
www.groundsforsculpture.org/artwork/space-conquer-or-die-...
'Space, Conquer or Die - Swiatowid' was made by monumentalist sculptor Andrew Pitynski. He has created monuments sited all over the world, including in the United States, Poland, Italy, and South Africa. His work also includes monumental portraits, bronze compositions, reliefs and medals. This monumental composition was cast in bronze in Thailand and installed at Grounds For Sculpture in April 2014.
The sculpture weighs 7 tons and stands 36.5 feet high by 16 feet wide on a gray granite base.

I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 5 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of those. Note – many of these re-visit an already posted subject.

Men need a man would die as soon
Out of the light of a mage's moon
But it's not by bone, but yet by blade
Can break the magic that the devil made

Zwischen dem Großmeisterpalast und der Kirche Panagia tou Kastrou erstreckt sich mit der Odos Ippoton bzw. Ritterstraße auf eine Länge von etwa 250 Metern eine der wohl besterhaltenen mittelalterlichen Straßen Europas.
Hier reihen sich einige imposante Gebäude aneinander, die alle einheitlich aus ockerfarbenem Stein errichtet wurden und größtenteils aus dem 15. und 16. Jahrhundert stammen, als Rhodos der Hauptsitz des Johanniterordens.
Between the Palace of the Grand Masters and the Church of Panagia tou Kastrou, the Odos Ippoton or Street of the Knights, one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Europe, stretches for about 250 meters.
Here are a number of imposing buildings, all of the same ocher stone, dating mostly from the 15th and 16th centuries, when Rhodes was the headquarters of the Order of Saint John

For Fence Friday
"The Golden Knights are made up of several expert teams and skilled professionals who all play a critical role in the US Army’s success. This includes parachute teams, aircraft pilots, and even those behind-the-scenes handling jump logistics. Whether jumping out of planes going 120 miles per hour from 12,500 feet or landing with expert precision, they embrace the thrill of adventure and feel proud while doing it."
I snapped this photo shortly after this freefall parachuting tandem team jumped out directly under the midday sun. With a 1000mm focal length and atmospheric haze, sharpness was not to be, but to my delight, I captured part of the sundog and its rainbow.
Needless to say, their skills were amazing!
May each one of us take inspiration this Memorial Day from the patriotism of the brave soldiers who died for our country!

Olè always reminds me of the knight in the chess pieces. I use to play chess with my father.
I took this photo years ago with the first digital camera I owned, my Canon 300D rebel camera. In fact I preferred it to my Canon D7. The D7 creates far too much noise too. It did not meet my expectations, I thought it was an upgrade, but that wasn't really the case, apart from the size of the images.
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to upgrade my camera, so I mostly use the photos to create manipulated pictures to make up for my cheap and cheerful equipment.
