Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary character originating in Eastern Christian culture who is said to bring children gifts on Christmas Eve of toys and candy or coal or nothing, depending on whether they are "naughty or nice". He is said to accomplish this with the aid of Christmas elves, who make the toys in his workshop at the North Pole, and flying reindeer who pull his sleigh through the air. The modern character of Santa is based on traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas, the English figure of Father Christmas and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas.
Children in the UK, USA and many other countries, such as Japan, open their presents on Christmas Day, December 25th. The latest presents are opened on January 6th (a month after the earliest). This is known as Epiphany and is mainly celebrated in Catholic countries such Spain and Mexico.

🎄🎅Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
For me one of the most beautiful towns I've ever seen, with a very special aura hard to describe, and an amazing history...
Transcription from wiki:
According to local legend, Siena was founded by Senius and Aschius, two sons of Remus and thus nephews of Romulus, after whom Rome was named. Supposedly after their father's murder by Romulus, they fled Rome, taking with them the statue of the she-wolf suckling the infants (Capitoline Wolf), thus appropriating that symbol for the town. Additionally they rode white and black horses, giving rise to the Barzana, or coat of arms of Siena with a white band atop a dark band. Some claim the name Siena derives from Senius. Other etymologies derive the name from the Etruscan family name Saina, the Roman family name Saenii, or the Latin word senex "old" or its derived form seneo "to be old".

Legendary composer Burt Bacharach, whose hits include “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” and “I Say a Little Prayer,” has died. He was 94.
in memory of one of my favorite songs :
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me....

Doum-palm was considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians, and the seed was found in some pharaoh's tombs.
A wild plant widespread in the south of Egypt and many African countries. In ancient Egypt, every Egyptian of standing would have had these trees growing in his garden.

The legendary King Arthur has a direct association with the Castle Rocks of St John, courtesy of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem of 1813, Bridal of Triermain. The poem tells the story of a young knight named Roland de Vaux who falls in love with a mysterious woman named Gyneth, who is revealed to be a fairy queen. The story takes place in the scenic Vale of St. John, near the town of Triermain. Gwyneth resides in the castle there (Castle Rock).
Synopsis of the poem:
The Bridal of Triermain interweaves three stories, all with a Lake District setting: the eighteenth-century courtship of Arthur and Lucy, the Arthurian Legend of 'Lyulph's Tale', and the twelfth-century romance of Sir Roland de Vaux.
In order to warn his aristocratic lover Lucy against excessive maidenly pride, the low-born poet Arthur recites 'Lyulph's Tale' in cantos I-II. He tells how how King Arthur is seduced by the enchantress Guendolen. When he abandons the pregnant Guendolen to resume his kingly duties, she swears revenge. Sixteen years later, the fruit of their union, Gyneth appears at Camelot to remind Arthur of his promise that should he and Guendolen produce a daughter, she would wed the bravest of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur declares a tournament with Gyneth's hand as the prize but instructs her to halt the combat before lives are lost. As the instrument of her mother's wrath, however, she does nothing to end the ferocious fighting, until Merlin arises from a chasm in the ground to punish her. She is sentenced to slumber in Guendolen's enchanted castle until awakened by a knight as brave as any of the Round Table.
The poet Arthur's courtship of Lucy proves successful and, following their marriage, Lucy begs him to tell of Gyneth's fate. In the third and final canto, then, he recounts the quest of the twelfth-century knight Sir Roland de Vaux of Triermain. He has heard Gyneth's legend and sets out to find the enchanted castle. Having located it in the Valley of Saint John, he successfully passes through a series of allegorical dangers and temptations (Fear, Avarice, Sensuality, Ambition) to awaken Gyneth from her five hundred-year sleep and win her hand.

Bobby Carcassés now seldom picks up his horn, his main instrument, when he was younger. He played piano, sang and even danced. Bobby Carcassés is an 85 year old jazz legend from Cuba. The founder of the Havana Jazz Festival, Bobby has been dubbed “the Guru of Afro-cuban Jazz” and has played with heavyweights like Bud Powell, Jane Bunnett, Tito Puente and Kenny Clarke and of course with his countrymen Chucho Valdes, Carlos Emilio Morales and Paquito D’ Rivera.
At Havana Jazz Festival, he was the centerpoint of musical revue; a showcase of his best fifty, or there about, musical friends. Bobby was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1938. I had a pleasure to meet him after the concert, as some Canadian friends introduced me.

The legendary land of light
veiled by snow and sand
is one of many Eastern myths
we've yet to understand.
From the golden Gobi desert
to the mountains of Tibet
live the guardians of Earth
to whom we owe a debt.

I love the sea.
The far North West of Scotland is renowned for it's wonderful beaches, and the finest is surely Sandwood Bay. Sandwood Bay enjoys legendary status partly due to it's sheer beauty, but also because it takes some effort to get there.
It had been an ambition of mine for a while to 'wildcamp' at Sandwood Bay, and the opportunity had finally arrived. Loaded the great big rucksack and set off across the moors with Monty Dog. An hour and a half later we arrived and found a suitable spot amongst the dunes for our tent.
We spent the rest of the day walking the beach, watching the Atlantic rollers crash on to the shore, throwing spray into the air. The Sea Stack of Am Buchaille (The Herdsman) and the cliffs of Rubh a Bhuachaille (Point of the Herdsman) can be seen at the southern end, and to the north is the lighthouse of Cape Wrath.
As you can imagine I took a few shots here, and you can expect a few more to follow.

A hike up Slieve Commedagh on a truly fantastic day. The rains stayed away for the entire route and the air was about as clear as ever. As we made our way up the grad this view unfolded, the tones were excellent and the contrasts in the cloud are the cherry. Truly pleased with this but I really wish I had better gear to compose a clearer window. The Mourne Mts are truly spectacular. Enjoy.
