All those mean tusks and he eats broccoli?
Vitamin K must be big in borneo

That is I think the most stunning example of a peacock I have ever seen. I'm with Flavius...please don't eat him! I'll cry! :mellow:
Ok , I promise I wont-but Pantagathus might be a bit hungry....

Incidentaly while in Asheville, North Carolina this past weekend and I had a wonderful couple of beers by Green Man Ales at Jack of the Wood. Quite delicious.
Very nice picture! it seems that this is a rendering of the Bamberg Green Man from Germany (13th Century church)
Bamberg it is, but we have one in Eboracum-but hes way up in the dark corners of the Cathedral and rather small.
-
Did you draw that?? It's awesome!
No-not one of mine, I do draw but Madame Pertinax is rather more accomplished-this was sent to me .
-
I want one of those! Maybe I'll have to make one sometime.
I think this might be the source of the head wound we saw in my Eboracum album.What do you think?

glycosides, ligustrin are the poisinous principles -like nightshade the berries say "keep off".

this is a useful record-its so easy to forget what happens to places when they have changed , even a small amount of information is useful. Looks like this is a good spot for varied (edible/non-edible ) wildlife. Is the rock strata volcanic with some ablation till or just a disturbed manmade surface? The river looks idyllic.

have you noticed the one who looks like Rowan Atkinson just to the left of the outraged central charachter?
-
I you only look at the bottom of the shot it looks like the pictures from the mars landers.... (minus the wetness of course)
I have earth from the site on my shoes-it is a wholesome mid-red colour. The Rhinos in the Zoo to the south of the peninsula are a delightful pink colour from rolling in this medium.
-
very nice, now if there was a luxurious boat in the water, it would also look nice.
only the rough fishing tubs go past here!

Post card shot
thanks again! probably the best "Roman" shot of the trip.
-
Reminds me of the view from Hawk's Bill on the Linville Gorge in North Carolina.
Lovely
I hope I can get the car up this road! I actually lost a tyre up here once-and had to nurse the vehicle down the mountain (as its a winding single track road you cant stop in the middle of it!)-hence I recommend Volvos for anyone wanting to drive on three wheels down an icey mountain.

I'm honestly not sure if the two are related, but I would assume they are since they are both "blackbirds". I don't know though.
The body shape is very similar.
-
so this is the cousin of my little yellow beaked bird?
-
Superb it is-11! the little scamp!

What metal used for them? And when they was used?
I found different ancient medical instruments in Crimea last summer. They were from bronze (2BC) and looked more older.
Bronze again Lacertus-these are a modern "re-creation" but they are a very faithful copy of retrieved originals.
-
excellent! I was going to say how great the Church photos were -but ill praise them all here, these are magical shots.
-
Do you know when it was reconstructed? I see, it was made from wood, but looks a bit old. Interestingly, how long was saved original construction?
This is perhaps only a few years old-the climate is harsh here so weathering is fierce.Wood rots very quickly in such a wet place.
The original itself? not a long life as an upgrade to stone was in situ as soon as as the stone was available-certain parts of the wall , without adjacent quarries had to wait perhaps 10 years to be upgraded.
The Antonine Wall remained in this condition without the use of stone.
-
splendid. Can you give us some technical details about the camera used?
-
It looks like warm floor! Never saw such floor before. I think it was very health-giving for Commander in Britain climate.
This underfloor heating layout is visible in several places on both sites mentioned-not to be confused with the ventilated underfloors of granaries.
-
From personal experience in marshes & swamps I imagine being quite worn out if you had to run though that muck..
Off the valley floor this is left behind, but , its still hard going -I was pleased that it was so icey as the mud was sort of "crunchy" and didnt drag your boots off! The barrack buildings in Vincovicium are ,unusually , not to a standard layout plan because of the fearsome wind and rain impacting onto the site.
-
It's an excellent shot. The lighting is perfect.
Thank you again. Even though thats "just" a few planks I dont fancy running up a wide vallum to attack it!
-
belly-dance/martial art?? wha??
yes indeed , it was explained to me thus-in certain parts of Morocco the men carry canes to protect themselves against unwanted animal bites, they also extended this to producing a form of martial art using the stick for self defence. The logical development is the use of the stick as a prop to a dance -particularly emphasising the dancers balance,ie: deportment, with the stick balanced on the head during the dance routine.
-
This is exactly the same place as the shot I use as my back ground was taken, i mean, EXACTLY THE SAME, its uncanny... scary even... this is freaking me out.
Sextus you are not alone ,Favonius contacted me along similar lines!

It is a relative of the Dace-and has an ability to live outside of water in hibernation. It normally lives in silt.The aquarium keeper advised me not to bother eating one.Notice the Perch swimming below, an aggresive little fish.
