Cybele is an Anatolian mother goddess; she may have a possible forerunner in the earliest neolithic at Çatalhöyük.
She is Phrygia's only known goddess, and was probably its national deity.
Greek colonists in Asia Minor adopted and adapted her Phrygian cult and spread it to mainland Greece and to the more distant western Greek colonies around the 6th century BC.
The Fountain of Cybele (Spanish: Fuente de Cibeles, or simply, "La Cibeles") is a neoclassical fountain that lies on the centre of the Plaza de Cibeles, Madrid, Spain.
It has become one of the icons of the city.
Designed and commissioned by Ventura Rodríguez in 1780, the sculptural group—made of white marble from Montesclaros, is a work by Francisco Gutiérrez (who worked the goddess) and Roberto Michel (who worked the lions).
This statue of the goddess has a mural crown and rides a chariot pulled by two lions, representing Atalanta and Hippomenes.
It was moved to its current location and orientation in 1895.
The fountain is the site where Real Madrid's supporters and players gather to celebrate the team's trophies as well as partakers of the successes of the Spain national football team.
The goddess lost a hand in 1994, following a celebration of a victory of the Spanish national team.
The goddess lost again one of her hands on 21 September 2002.
The Fountain of Cybele has a replica, the namesake Fuente de Cibeles, located in Mexico City and inaugurated in 1980. (Source: Wikipedia)
FUENTE DE LA DIOSA CIBELES, MADRID, ESPAÑA, 2024
Cibeles es una diosa madre de Anatolia que puede tener un posible precursor en el neolítico más temprano en Çatalhöyük.
Es la única diosa conocida de Frigia y probablemente era su deidad nacional.
Los colonos griegos en Asia Menor adoptaron y adaptaron su culto frigio y lo extendieron a la Grecia continental y a las colonias griegas occidentales más distantes alrededor del siglo VI a.C.

Se ha convertido en uno de los iconos de la ciudad.
Diseñado y encargado por Ventura Rodríguez en 1780, el grupo escultórico, elaborado en mármol blanco de Montesclaros, es obra de Francisco Gutiérrez (quien trabajó la diosa) y Roberto Michel (quien trabajó los leones).
La estatua de la diosa lleva una corona mural y monta un carro tirado por dos leones, representando a Atalanta e Hipómenes.
Fue trasladado a su ubicación y orientación actual en 1895.
La fuente es el lugar donde se reúnen los seguidores y jugadores del Real Madrid para celebrar los trofeos del equipo, así como los participantes de los éxitos de la selección española de fútbol.
La diosa perdió una mano en 1994, tras la celebración de una victoria de la selección española.
La diosa volvió a perder una de sus manos el 21 de septiembre de 2002.

Taken at Measham in Leicestershire.
The light was not very good and it was not possible to get closer as it was in the middle of a housing estate, so this was the best I could do today, nice bird though and a first for me!
The breeding range of this bird is in steppes, semi-deserts and deserts of Central Asia and Southeast Europe. It can be found from north-western Mongolia via Dzungarei, Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to southern Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Armenia . Its southern range extends to the north of Afghanistan and Iran.

Today, 14 November 2019, I have just posted five more odds and ends of photos, from way back in my archives, instead of going through photos taken more recently. Mind you, I shouldn't be posting anything, as I have started (yet again) backing up and deleting photo folders from my hard drive, as I am pretty well out of space. Also, I will have to take my computer in as soon as possible, to get it changed over from Windows 7 to Windows 10, seeing as support/security for Windows 7 comes to an end in January. So, a fair bit of deleting would be a good thing to do before I take in my computer. Not to mention a good thing before my computer crashes! I have added the description that was under another photo taken the same day, 6 May 2016.
Yet another overcast, dreary morning here today, 18 November 2016, with a temperature of -3C (windchill -7C). The sun is supposed to come out this afternoon, which would be a really welcome sight.
This photo of a Great Horned Owlet was taken on 6 May 2016, in a local natural area/park. Unfortunately, I had half a dozen errands to run before allowing myself to go out with my camera, so I didn't get there till late, and the light quickly began to fade. No time to look around the area for any other birds on this visit.
This beautiful owlet had been on the ground for a while before I arrived. There were a few people there and more came and went. However, I later heard that the owlet had been able to claw and flap its way up one of the trees and was safely out of reach of most predators. Meanwhile, the other fledgling had been very high up in a different tree, along with Mom. I'm glad I did call in at this location when I did, as this beautiful little owl gave us a few chances for photos when it was up on a log or down on the ground, usually partly hidden by the plants and bushes. I don't know how it ended up on the ground, but obviously it fell from somewhere or misjudged flying distance and missed an intended branch when it finally left the nesting tree. An interesting world for it to explore, though it wasn't very steady on its feet yet : )
Things seem to happen so fast this spring and I missed seeing the two owlets balancing on the rim of the nesting tree, exercising their wings before fledging. Also, I had been so busy that I only went over to see the youngsters a handful of times. Looking on the more important side, this meant one less person intruding on their area, of course, though I have to say that these owls are remarkably tolerant of humans. If a Canada Goose, on the other hand, should get anywhere near the nest or the little ones, Mom or Dad flies in for an immediate attack.
"With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.
Great Horned Owls are nocturnal. You may see them at dusk sitting on fence posts or tree limbs at the edges of open areas, or flying across roads or fields with stiff, deep beats of their rounded wings. Their call is a deep, stuttering series of four to five hoots." From AllAboutBirds.

Il mio augurio è che questo viaggio, sia per te il più lieve possibile...
I hope that this trip will be for you as light as possible...
Taken at Covent Garden London. This could have been taken two hundred years ago. Many things have changed in that time but precious little for the homeless.
Pocket cutter, which could be used by engineers for the opening of something not very massive. Possible the narrowing of the beam in one spot for more precise operations.
Just finished Dead Space and Dead Space 2, it was AWESOME! Very liked it, now it's my second favorite franchise after Mass Effect. Scary in some moments, but still dynamic and awesome. Cant wait for DS3.
And I hope the Severed DLC will port on PC.
Comments and fan-emotions from Dead Space would be cool.
P.S.: Which moment in DS2 was most *SCARY!1* for you? For me it was a sun on a school scene. I shoot it off from it's place (nervous, yup) and killed 2 monsters with it and with *WAAAAAAAGH* :3
..another from Vasco da Gama bridge and one of my first conversions to B&w using Silver Efex 2 plugin for CS5...and because of that i would like to read your opinions and sugestions about it..if possible of course..
or RL under the big tent.
Fun, interactive Worldling, seen at Fairelands Junction. Worldbuilder Saiyge Lotus.

Still not 100% this jacket goes with the skirt and blouse, but willing to give it another shot :P.
While Flickr will always have the most images of each outfit, follow me on Instagram (/secretjess42) to see the latest pics!
Goodness me!!! My legs look so long in this photo! There is absolutely no digital manipulation here, and I also haven't used a mobile device (phone, tablet) which generally (due to their camera's short focal length) can create a fabulous statuesque perspective, just my usual DLSR. So what's the secret here? Simple!!! Just use a moderately low camera position and lean right back against the wall!😄
Wall-E is my second entry for the #Ironforge (second round).
This MOC was born thanks to the lower part of the TAP. Looking at the antistud I realized that two of those could be used to make eyes, but I still didn't know who to give sight to. I have to thank my friend Giovanni Bellini, who suggested that I be a cute little Disney robot. To do it I was inspired by the poster of the film, so I didn't want to tread the hand of details, trying to remain as faithful as possible. I only used 3 TAP pieces: 2 for the eyes and 1 for an iron abandoned along with other junk. Of course I could have used others for the railing, for the bench or even for the lamppost, but this time it was really more important for me to stay as faithful as possible with the emblematic photo of the film.

Taken in Bourgogne. The roses are planted in front of the vines to detect the possible diseases or infestation of insects, the roses being more fragile than the vines.
This is another confusing bird. Initially, I thought it was a Calliope, based on the gorget. But there is pinkish red on the forehead and top of the head, as in an Anna's. In certain images, there is orange visible in the tail.

This possible female Western Bluebird was seen in the Columbia Valley hanging out with a flock of Mountain Bluebirds.
It has been a while since I have seen any Western Bluebirds. I do know that the female Mountain Bluebird tends to look quite washed out and this one has more color.
