A shrine even to Romanticists Roslin Chapel achieved world renown by the Da Vinci Code which claimed it to hold the Holy Grail and thus making a once private medieval chapel the centre of absolute legend.
Today Apple named their new OS El Capitan. Couldn't be happier to have these legendary National Park monuments valued and promoted for world to know about them. Almost five years back I didn't even know about Yosemite which is before I arrived to the US. My ignorance. But if you lived in a country right on the other side of the globe of the United States, its was not that big of a surprise. But now Apple putting them on the 'Map' makes it easier for the people everywhere to know and admire these legends.
This is the tunnel view of the valley, with El Capitan on the left and the Half dome peeping right in the middle across the valley. This is a very popular spot in the park but you can never have enough of them! :)

In 1991, During Operation Desert Storm, this aircraft (89-0487) was credited with downing an Iraqi Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter in the air using a GBU-10 laser-guided bomb.

The Highway of Legends in Colorado is a scenic and historic byway that spans 82 miles through the San Isabel National Forest. It is a National Scenic Byway, National Forest Scenic Byway, and Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway. The byway showcases the unique geological features of south-central Colorado, including the Spanish Peaks, remnants of a 20-million-year-old volcano. It also features the famous Devils’ Stairsteps and Profile Rock.
In this scene the Aspens are in full color as we descend from 11,000 ft down the back side of the Spanish Peaks towards Cuchara ski area.
If you ever get the chance to visit Liverpool (and I hope you do) you will soon notice the all consuming obsession with the Beatles wherever you go in the city. If anything time has only added to the legend that surrounds this extraordinary band of four musicians that literally changed the face of music in the early 60s and continued to innovate until their breakup 10 years later. Cheeky, funny, and ultra talented the Beatles reigned supreme in the pop music world for all of that time.
These larger than life bronze statues celebrating the fab four are by sculptor Andy Edwards and sit in the area on the River Mersey referred to as Pier Head, very close to the fabulous Royal Liver building. It's such a popular attraction that it's actually quite difficult to get a shot like this because there are hordes of tourists surrounding the artwork from dawn till dusk, all of them waiting their turn to nestle in amongst the statues for their own 'Beatles moment'. And who can blame them!

At that time there was a royal tradition of kings hunting animals for sport. Once, the Iberian king Vakhtang I Gorgasali decided to go hunting with his falcon in the area surrounding today’s Tbilisi. While the king was looking for prey, he suddenly saw a pheasant. Acting quickly, he shot and wounded the bird. However, when he sent his falcon to retrieve the pheasant it didn’t return. After a long search the king and his army of hunters discovered some natural hot springs and found both birds boiled to death! King Vakhtang was surprised, but incredibly pleased, with the discovery of the natural hot springs as nobody had known about them before. So, he decided to build a city on this site. The location also had many other advantages. It was located between high mountains and was easy to protect from enemies. This, according to the legend, is how Tbilisi was founded
I've seen this person zoom by me from behind on a dozen occasions, but today I finally caught them coming towards me.
Nordic Legends. Just offshore from the black sand beach in Vík, the basalt rock formations, Reynisdrangar, stick up out of the Atlantic like fingers. As the folklore goes, these spindly rock formations are actually trolls frozen in time. You see, trolls are night dwellers. They were trying to drag three ships ashore when they were caught in the sunlight and turned to stone. The world-famous Reynisfjara shore, near the village Vik in Myrdalur on Iceland's South Coast, is widely regarded as the most impressive shore in Iceland My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis
they finally got him to jump. good thing too, because they’re raising the bridge this year and i think patrick’s jumping days are over almost before they began. maybe everyone’s jumping days are over.
Legend - Moeraki. 🇳🇿
Whether you subscribe to the Māori legend that sees these as ancient ‘eel baskets’, washed ashore after the sinking of the Arai-te-uru canoe, or the more recent scientific explanations of rock formation – I’m yet to find a single person who doesn’t find the Moeraki Boulders simply fascinating when they’re revealed by the ocean.
Embedded within the beach and surrounding cliffs on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, these 6-8ft wide natural sculptures are still forming, moving and eroding – presenting a landscape that shifts with time as well as the ebb and flow of the Pacific waves.
Catch the tide at the wrong time, and you’ll struggle to see any of them. Catch an approaching wave on this incredibly shallow beach, and you’ll find both you and your camera soaked to the core. Click the button at the right time, however, and you’re rewarded with one of the most serene views in the natural world.
So I needed to empty out my box of Marvel Legends tonight. I needed to get pictures of Iron Fist, Sasquatch and Maestro. Most of these were at the bottom.
I don't just tip the box out willy nilly and let them get bashed around, I carefully unpack it and stand the marvels up one by one.. these have been re-arranged slightly, but not to the stage where they are in a dramatic scene or shot. I was quite taken back at how many I have, this doesn't include the figures I have from the HML series or the Fantastic Four Box Set. See the Tags list for the figures or characters in this picture.
According to legend, a fisherman found a celestial robe hanging on a pine branch at Miho no Matsubara.
When he took it, a heavenly maiden appeared and pleaded for its return, for she could not ascend to the sky without it.
Moved by her sorrow, the fisherman gave the robe back, and in gratitude, the maiden performed a graceful celestial dance before rising into the heavens.
