Tomb from the church of Näshult, which predates the current church (the church is from 1735 - the burial from 1572). And the photo lies a bit - the stone is placed in the floor, not standing up, but I liked the effect from this angle.
The man buried here is Nils Persson from Holma, of the noble Silfversparre family (Silfversparre is a description of the coat of arms which later was used as a family name, so if you look at the stone you can see that coat of arms, but the name Silfversparre isn't actually mentioned). Nils Persson was first mentioned in 1529 and had several important functions in the higher echelons of society - though they are hard to translate to English so I won't try. He died October 19 1572, at six in the afternoon (according to the stone). Nils Persson had acquired a lot of land in his life-time and he seems to have been rather ruthless - and he had actually killed a man in 1551. He had at least three children, including a daughter - who was also accused of murder. She was later executed, but not for that, but for treachery towards the king. You can't help but get the feeling that if you were important enough, back in the day, you really could get away with murder...
Having killed anger you sleep in ease.
Having killed anger you do not grieve.
The noble ones praise the slaying of anger
-- with its honeyed crest & poison root --
for having killed it you do not grieve.

На святую землю Херсонеса Туманный колокол впервые прибыл в 1803 году. Позднее он стал символом не только знаменитого музея древности под открытым небом, но и самого Севастополя. Сегодня бронзовый гигант весом 2,4 тонны гордо возвышается на берегу Херсонеса, восхищая туристов и своей красотой, и – не в меньшей степени! – удивительной судьбой..На колоколе сохранилась надпись о том, что в 1778 году он был отлит в Таганроге из турецких пушек, взятых в качестве трофея. Доподлинно известно, что в 1803 году Александр I подарил колокол Севастополю. Его поместили на звоннице Никольского собора, где он и пробыл до тех пор, пока англичане и французы не вывезли после Крымской войны бронзового гиганта и еще 12 колоколов из Севастополя в качестве трофеев. Наш колокол повесили на звонницу знаменитого собора Парижской Богоматери...Исторический факт от красивой легенды спустя столько лет отличить непросто, но доподлинно известно, что 106 лет назад, к 300-летию императорского дома Романовых в знак союзнических отношений между Россией и Францией колокол-пленник вернулся в Севастополь и был поднят на звонницу Херсонесского монастыря в 1913 году. В советское время, когда монастырь был закрыт, колокол оставили для звона в туманную погоду – его звуковые сигналы вместо маяка помогали ориентироваться проходящим мимо судам, предупреждая о прибрежных отмелях и скалах. За эту благородную службу монастырский «звуковой маяк» прозвали «туманным».
Пережив вторую героическую оборону города Севастополя, дождавшись его освобождения, Туманный колокол до сих пор встречает жителей и гостей нашего города на древнем берегу Херсонеса!...................................
The Fog Bell first arrived in the holy land of Chersonesos in 1803. Later it became a symbol not only of the famous open - air museum of antiquity . Today, a bronze giant weighing 2.4 tons stands proudly on the shore of Chersonesos, delighting tourists with its beauty and amazing fate....There is an inscription on the bell that in 1778 it was cast in Taganrog from Turkish cannons taken as a trophy. It is known for certain that in 1803 Alexander I presented the bell to Sevastopol. He was placed on the belfry of St. Nicholas Cathedral, where he stayed until the British and French took out the bronze giant and 12 more bells from Sevastopol as trophies after the Crimean War. Our bell was hung on the belfry of the famous Notre Dame Cathedral.It is not easy to distinguish a historical fact from a beautiful legend after so many years, but it is known for certain that 106 years ago, on the 300th anniversary of the imperial house of Romanov, as a sign of allied relations between Russia and France, the captive bell returned to Sevastopol and was raised to the belfry of the Chersonesos Monastery in 1913. In Soviet times, when the monastery was closed, the bell was left to ring in foggy weather – its sound signals instead of a lighthouse helped guide passing ships, warning of coastal shoals and rocks. For this noble service, the monastery's "sound lighthouse" was nicknamed "foggy".
Having survived the second heroic defense of the city of Sevastopol, having waited for its liberation, the Fog Bell still greets residents and guests of our city on the ancient shore of Chersonesos!
I took a hike recently through this forest of old growth Christmas trees. Definitely would not want to be responsible for decorating any of these. 😁
St Ives, Huntingdonshire
The small triangular area of water meadow, immediately to the west of the town and adjacent to the River Great Ouse, known as Nobles Field was purchased by the Borough of St Ives for use by the people of St Ives. It is managed today by a small committee of St Ives Towns Council called the Nobles Field Trust.
I love mountains because they make me humble and down-to-earth. For hundreds of thousands of years they’ve been sitting there in noble silence. They don’t need a rosy sky to glow on their faces. They don’t even need any fancy foliage plants to catch your eyes. It’s like you don’t need to climb a mountain to know that it’s high.

Old growth noble fir trees. This is just inside the forest pictured in my previous post. The forest is full of these very straight and very tall firs.

A mule deer buck, who had no regard for fences, cactus, or social etiquette, walked directly through a prickly pear patch as if it were a red carpet, all to reach my bird feeder. He ate with the calm assurance of someone who firmly believed the feeder had been put there for him and that the birds were merely consultants.
When I came out and said, “Scat!” he stopped, lifted his head, and posed. Not startled. Not offended. Just cooperative. He turned slightly to his better side, antlers arranged, expression noble. A photograph was taken.
Then, having fulfilled his obligation to art, he returned to the feeder and continued eating.
Moral: When you are completely certain of your importance, even being scolded is just another form of admiration.
