Knossos (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.
Misty look, kinda dazzled and dreamlike, over the leaves sprouting from the intangible twig of a certain articulate squareness, eyes tense with suspicion although not quite lacking some self-assured impertinence. a slash of enlightened straightforwardness like a poisoned arrow dashing towards the tightlipped explosion of the next instant.
Okay, I admit it. I'm a grammar and spelling geek.

*NEW* Metroline DEL2245 at North Brentford Quarter on route 235 on the first day of operation by Metroline.
DEL2245 was kindly blinded for route 237 to Shepherd's Bush Green. Very annoyingly when this blind returned from the printers, the apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush [Green] that I made sure was included for the order, was omitted somewhere during the production phase!
They’re never too young to learn how to spell. Today’s word is “California”!

The map of California on the wall is actually a postcard…a WOODEN postcard, if you can believe it! It was sent to us by our friend Katherine who lives in California.

Last fall, my coworkers and I did a promo shot for our Facebook page by spelling out MWO (Mount Washington Observatory) at sunset.
I love taking pictures of squirrels--they have so many cute expressions---I got several shots of them yesterday--but I promise not to post all of them :-) ENJOY THE DAY---THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VISITS!

Please do note fave my photos without commenting ( what do people do with thousands of faves, look at them every morning ?)
Not sure if they ran out of space, or if that abbreviated spelling was actually in common use at the time...
Seen at The Chickenburger in Bedford.
From their web site:
“The Chick” was opened in 1940 and is reputed to be the oldest drive-in restaurant in Canada. Today, the historical landmark remains a community icon as a destination for families and friends alike.
Throw a tune on the jukebox while you enjoy great food in the nostalgic 50’s setting. This iconic 50’s inspired diner provides a snapshot into the past, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
For over 80 years, The Chickenburger has maintained a reputation of excellence by providing high quality fresh food and superb customer service. The same chicken recipe crafted in 1940 is still used to ensure customers keep coming back for the same great taste."
From me:
"PLUS their staff are darned friendly!"
I'll have more shots and/or a collage soon from the visit...

Spells might be within a word's spelling
If words could be used for spells whether they are dependable or bad?
If letters can't get the right spelling you could use a wise leap and misspell it
From spells to 'spills' of dwelling sand to cover-up anything odd or a tad sad...

A view at the very end of the blue hour of the eastern end of York Minster.
The city's name is displayed in an artificial (I think) piece of topiary at the base of the structure, which was constructed between 1220 and 1472.
