In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.
ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.
Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –
The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.
However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).

While I was walking along the coast near Edinburgh one day last month, I came upon a couple of the bays where there were masses of small boulders which had been churned up by the recent high tides, and dumped along the strand line. I guess the average size was about a foot wide by 8 or 9 inches in height and width, but there was a lot variation. There were all colours and shapes, but they seemed to be mainly sedimentary sandstones and mudstones and some conglomerates. Amongst them were many of these - red sandstone with quartz seams running through them. I don't know what was written on them, but they looked to be saying something, to someone, somewhere.
(A geologist contact tells me the 'hieroglyphs' are most probably calcite, not quartz. Thanks Dwight.)

Idling the night away as the rear DPU for the mornings’s westbound 121, CP 7010 is seen resting at Siberia on Eastern Maine Railways mainline. Depending on train length, and if Irving will be running any trains in the morning before 121 departs, we will often shove our 121 across the bridge at Brownville Junction over to Siberia in order to facilitate an easy recrew, as well as not having to pull the train through the yard to depart.
I zoomed in to capture this dune ridge where light and shadow meet in a series of repeating marks that feel less like erosion and more like handwriting. The scalloped shadows falling along the edge of the ridge read as strokes that seem gestural, rhythmic, and deliberate. The contrasting planes of bright sand and deep shade form the page on which they are written. I was drawn to this moment because the desert seemed to be inscribing itself, creating a silent script shaped by wind, gravity, and time instead of by ink and intention. I prefer expressing dunes not as landscapes or grand vistas but as intimate abstractions, inviting slower looking and attention to the subtle language of light.

I too found this theme challenging and had pre-concieved ideas about the shot I intended to post....but it was not to be. Rather than not post at all, I decided that this image might (hopefully) fit the theme, although at first glance you will probably wonder why....
This is the wedding set up for my partners son....and as we all know grooms generally just show up for the occasion don't they? Not this groom....he arranged everything, even down to the flowers!!. The wedding took place in Vanuatu, an island in the Coral Sea, which was virtually decimated 10 months ago by a Category 5 Cyclone. (A side note here, Vanuatu is essentially a 3rd world country about to have an election to replace the politicians that are now in gaol for stealing the cyclone relief funds that the world donated to help them rebuild!!)
Being young and naive the groom believed that his chosen venue would be rebuilt in time for the big day. It was not, hence the venue and accommodation for all guests had to be changed about 8 weeks prior to the event. And of course Vanuatu is again in the midst of cyclone season AND one was forming prior to and during our stay. The day of the wedding we awoke to heavy, squally rain and strong, gusting winds. The venue operators pleaded with the groom to move the event inside. He refused, firm in his belief that despite all the odds the weather would co-operate...and miraculously it did.
I took this picture about 3/4 hour prior to the ceremony when it finally cleared. The ceremony and reception took place on this deck and all guests sported that wonderful "windswept" hair look, including his 86 and 84 year old grand parents who made the long trek to attend.
Fortunately, the cyclone by-passed the Southern Islands of Vanuatu with no major damage.
My apologies for not keeping up over the past week, shall do my best to catch up over the next few days.

CRETE
KNOSSOSKnossos (alternative spellings Knossus, Cnossus, Greek Κνωσός, pronounced [knoˈsos]) is the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete and considered as Europe's oldest city.
The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level. Many of them were inscribed with Knosion or Knos on the obverse and an image of a Minotaur or Labyrinth on the reverse, both symbols deriving from the myth of King Minos, supposed to have reigned from Knossos.[5] The coins came from the Roman settlement of Colonia Julia Nobilis Cnossus, a Roman colony placed just to the north of, and politically including, Kephala. The Romans believed they had colonized Knossos.[6] After excavation, the discovery of the Linear B tablets, and the decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris, the identification was confirmed by the reference to an administrative center, ko-no-so, Mycenaean Greek Knosos, undoubtedly the palace complex. The palace was built over a Neolithic town. During the Bronze Age, the town surrounded the hill on which the palace was built.
The palace was excavated and partially restored under the direction of Arthur Evans in the earliest years of the 20th century. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed de novo an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
The site of Knossos was discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos. The excavations in Knossos began in 1900 by the English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans (1851–1941) and his team, and continued for 35 years. Its size far exceeded his original expectations, as did the discovery of two ancient scripts, which he termed Linear A and Linear B, to distinguish their writing from the pictographs also present. From the layering of the palace Evans developed an archaeological concept of the civilization that used it, which he called Minoan, following the pre-existing custom of labelling all objects from the location Minoan.
Since their discovery, the ruins have undergone a history of their own, from excavation by renowned archaeologists, education and tourism, to occupation as a headquarters by governments warring over the control of the eastern Mediterranean in two world wars. This site history is to be distinguished from the ancient.
