This is just the beginning of an involved ritualistic courtship process between two consenting Royal Terns.
Filmed along the waters of the Atlantic Ocean at Anastasia State Park.
There are a few other photos of this pair below.

More commonly known as Boscawen-Un (the translation from Cornish is the title). Situated 4 miles SW of Penzance, Cornwall, UK. Well worth a visit!!!
"There is a controversial pillar at the centre of the ring......about 1864 the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society trenched across the circle but found nothing. they also dug down to the base of the central stone 'and found that it was carefully placed in it's leaning position.'" Excerpt from 'A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany' by Aubrey Burl which I always try to have to hand when travelling. This stone circle is the first one listed in this publication.

This ancient celtic standing stone on Slaughter Hill, Co. Wicklow, dates back to the Bronze Age and it has stood here for thousands of years. Its wide side faces out over the Irish sea and the rising sun. It is of a type called "Schist" and the closest place to here, where this type of stone can be found is over 20 miles away near Kippure, which means it was actually physically carried to this spot.
No one knows what is its significance but it is most likely ritualistic because of its position and its relation to the sun.. All I do know is that I have visited it several times at dawn and when the first light strikes it, it certainly stirs up some strange and wonderful emotions which Im sure was the reason for it being positioned there in the first place. Magical!
Hope you like it.
Best wishes.

Theyyam consists of traditions, rituals and customs associated with temples and sacred groves of Malabar. It broadly encompasses Hindu ritualistic tenets. The people of the region consider Theyyam itself as a channel to a god and they thus seek blessings from Theyyam.
Situated on the moors between Burnley and Todmorden, West Yorkshire, are the Bridestones, outcrops of millstone grit rocks and boulders which stretch for about half mile in length.
The name ‘Bridestones’ might be derived from Bridia, Brighid, or Briga, the pre-Roman (Iron Age) diety who is more often known from history as ‘Brigantia’, goddess of the Brigantes tribe of northern England – just prior to, and up to, the Roman Conquest. Or they “might” perhaps take their name from bride as in ‘bride and groom’ at a wedding ceremony, which harks back to times, long ago, when weddings supposedly took place on the moor where the outcrops of rocks now known as ‘Bridestones’ are located. Indeed there is a 15 foot high oval-shaped, weathered rock called ‘Great Bride Stone’ and beside it a smaller rounded rock called ‘the groom stone’. But undoubtedly the Bridestones was a sacred, magical place, and no-doubt a few thousand years ago it was the abode of druids who worshipped heathen gods and also officiated in ritualistic and sacrificial ceremonies.

Yosemite lies somewhere between the full moon and my soul. I visit her ritualistically every now and then. She is to me what a river is to water. When with her, I flow. I flow as carefree water. Defiant water. Rambunctious water. She even lets me become leaping water. As leaping water, I fall for her grace. I fall hard into a redolent mist shattering into interrupted moonbows. Meanwhile, the Big Dipper floats above contemplating a similar plunge and the southerly silly moon paints the sky blue at night. Euphoria spills out of my shivering being and reflects in flooded meadows nearby. I close my eyes. Yosemite radiantly smiles... She smiles somewhere between my soul and eternity.

The Palace, a complex of several connected and adjacent buildings and courtyards, was built by several generations on a wide artificial terrace during four century period. The Palace was used by the Mayan aristocracy for bureaucratic functions, entertainment, and ritualistic ceremonies. The Palace is located in the center of the ancient city.
Within the Palace there are numerous sculptures and bas-relief carvings that have been conserved. The Palace most unique and recognizable feature is the four-story tower known as The Observation Tower. The Observation Tower like many other buildings at the site exhibit a mansard-like roof. The A-shaped Corbel arch is an architectural motif observed throughout the complex. The Corbel arches require a large amount of masonry mass and are limited to a small dimensional ratio of width to height providing the characteristic high ceilings and narrow passageways. The Palace was equipped with numerous large baths and saunas which were supplied with fresh water by an intricate water system. An aqueduct, constructed of great stone blocks with a three-meter-high vault, deviates the Otulum River to flow underneath the main plaza. The Palace is the largest building complex in Palenque measuring 97 meters by 73 meters at its base.

A female white pelican (front) is a fair bit smaller than the male (back), as you can see in this image. This pair seemed to be paired up as the male followed her in a ritualistic swim around the pond many times. They are both sporting their long head feathers and more intense colouring of the face and beak.

Yesterday we visited the fabulous double stone circle of Grey Wethers. This Bronze Age site features 2 large stone circles close to each other, the centre of both circles is almost perfectly North-South oriented. When the circles were excavated they found large amounts of charcoal in the centre. The reason for erecting 2 stone circles next to each other remains a mystery only Bronze Age folk would be able to answer.

Vondelstraat nummer 41, op de hoek van de Vondelstraat en de Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat, werd door architect Cuypers in 1873 gebouwd in opdracht van Heineken. Dit werd ‘het Bierhuis’, waar bezoekers werden ontvangen en bijgeschonken. Nummer 39, ‘het Vondelhuis’, stamt uit 1880 en was ooit een balzaal. Beide panden werden in 1903 door de vrijmetselaars van Amsterdam gekocht en samengevoegd tot één pand.
In 2012 waren beide panden zowel inwendig als uitwendig in slechte staat. De vrijmetselaars, die beide panden in bezit hadden en als één geheel gebruikten, verkochten nummer 41 aan Stadsherstel om de restauratie van nummer 39 financieel mogelijk te maken en hun activiteiten daarin voort te kunnen zetten. De restauratiewerkzaamheden hadden als doel de authentieke onderdelen uit de tijd van Cuypers te conserveren en tegelijkertijd de bijzondere identiteit van de vrijmetselaarsloge te behouden. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld nog glas-in-loodramen met geometrische figuren, gerelateerd aan vrijmetselarij. In de gevel van nummer 39 is een indrukwekkende vijfpuntige diamant met daarin een pentagram aangebracht met gekleurd glas op een zinken achtergrond. In nummer 39 bevindt zich ook de rode en blauwe tempel. De Vrijmetselaars blijven gebruik maken van het souterrain van nr. 41. Het overige deel van dat pand wordt door Stadsherstel als bedrijfsruimte verhuurd.

(Continuation of Story)
One of the most astounding sights I saw in Peru were the Nazca Lines. To get there, I booked a flight out of Lima, Peru and went off to discover them by myself. No one I spoke to board the ship had heard of them and certainly they didn’t want to go out of their way to see them. I found a travel agent in Lima who booked the trip.
After the flight landed in Nazca, there was transportation to a smaller airport where the “observation plane” took off. The pilot dipped his wings and did low maneuvers over the drawings on the ground. The lines were made in the form of a monkey, hummingbirds and other objects. Of great importance to many, is a form that looks like an astronaut.
The area is an UNESCO World Heritage site and is being protected by Greenpeace, as well. Recently, too many curious mindless tourists have damaged some of the area that has always been off limits, except for archeologists.
A huge plateau between Nazca and Palpa is where the hundreds of simple lines can be found. It is believed that they were continually formed between 500BC to 500AD by the Nazca culture.
Their purpose has been disputed. Perhaps they were ritualistic in nature and were to be seen by the gods in the sky, or they were linked to agriculture and irrigation. What is still a mystery is how they were formed into recognizable shapes when they can only be seen from the sky.
I will let you research and explore the many writings, television series and fictional creations that have tried to unlock the mystery.
This is one of the simple forms which to many resembles an astronaut and was taken from the plane, high over the plateau.

Great Blue Heron (Ardea hernias) male returning to the nest site to add another twig to the nest. The female accepted the branch in a ritualistic manner and placed it on the nest structure. There were 7 nests in the tree located along the shores of an artificial pond in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.

The Northern Flicker is a particularly interesting species to observe…in this instance, two males were engaged in territorial behaviour. They would face each other quietly for some time, before breaking into a bout of moving their heads in a ritualistic bobbing fashion for a brief interval. Then peace would prevail until the ‘jousting’ was repeated, and the process continued for over ten minutes.

San Juan de Gaztelugatxe
The church on top of the island is dedicated to John the Baptist. Over the centuries the church has burned down and been rebuilt several times. It is believed that the first hermitage that existed here was erected in the 9th century. In the 12th century, it became a convent. However, two centuries later, the friars abandoned it taking with them everything of value.
In 1596, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe was attacked again, this time by Sir Francis Drake and his corsairs. They looted everything they found and killed the hermit that was living there by throwing him off a cliff to the rocks and water below.
San Juan de Gaztelugatxe also played a role, albeit small, during the Spanish Inquisition. Witches and their ritualistic meetings known as Akelarre in Basque, make up a part of the Basque mythology. For this reason, the Catholic Church focused much of its time during the inquisition hunting for witches in the region. Several accounts seem to indicate that many of the accused were locked up in the caves of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
The church deteriorated over time and it was eventually demolished in 1886 and then rebuilt from scratch. Unfortunately, during the demolition process, all of the artifacts found in the ground, such as coins and cannon balls, were thrown to the sea.

He reached Mambalapattu in the afternoon and from there set out to walk. By nightfall he had gone ten miles. Before him was the temple of Arayaninallur built on a large rock. The long walk, most of it in the heat of the day, had tired him and he sat down by the temple to rest. Shortly after someone came along and opened it for the temple priest and others to make puja (ritualistic worship), Venkataraman entered and sat down in the pillared hall, the only part that was not yet quite dark. He immediately beheld a brilliant light pervading the whole temple. Thinking it must be an emanation from the image of the God in the inner sanctuary, he went to look but found that it was not. Nor was it any physical light. It disappeared and he sat down again in meditation.

and the Path of Self-Knowledge
Corridor of the Ancestors &
Whispers on the Walls
The feeling of walking through a passage to the Past.
A narrow, stone-walled corridor adorned with carved hieroglyphs. The ceiling shows signs of age and some darker patches, while the walls have a warm, earthy hue.
The composition utilizes strong leading lines from the converging walls and ceiling, drawing the viewer's eye towards the brightly lit opening at the far end. This creates a sense of depth and perspective, with the light acting as a vanishing point. The symmetry of the corridor is also a key compositional element.
The image is dominated by strong backlighting from the exit, which creates a high contrast scene. The interior is dimly lit, highlighting the textures of the stone and carvings.
The color palette is warm, with various shades of brown, beige, and tan dominating the stone surfaces. The rough, carved texture of the walls contrasts with the slightly smoother, though weathered, surface of the ceiling.
The photograph was captured using a relatively wide focal length suitable for capturing the confined space of the corridor. The aperture setting provides a shallow depth of field, helping to keep the immediate surroundings in focus while leading the eye forward.
On the right side, a valuable historical document 'The Abydos Table', also known as the 'Abydos King List' and 'Abydos Canon' lists 76 Egyptian pharaohs in three rows of 38 cartouches (oval borders enclosing a king's name). The third row repeats the name of the pharaoh who built the list, Seti I.
The list was created for ritualistic purposes to invoke and honor the spirits of past kings. Some scholars suggest the list, as set down by Seti I, was to represent the royal ancestors in a ritual, performed on their behalf. Seti I himself may have constructed a grand temple worthy of the gods and filled it with the names of ancestors.
