-THE ISLAND LIFE-
Hidden within the rolling hills of Cantabria, Spain, lies a window into the deep past—the Altamira Cave.
Discovered by chance in 1868, its walls tell the story of a world thousands of years gone, a world where art was born in flickering firelight.
Dating back 36,000 to 14,000 years ago, the cave paintings are a testament to the Magdalenian culture’s ingenuity and deep connection with the animals they depicted.
Bison charge across the rock face, their muscular forms captured in earthy reds and blacks, while horses and deer seem to gallop and leap, each stroke of pigment telling tales of survival and reverence.
With its vibrant depictions and masterful use of natural contours, the Altamira Cave was aptly named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving the echoes of a time when art was as much a part of life as the hunt and the hearth.
Here, one can almost hear the whispers of ancient voices, see the glow of embers that once lit the artists' work, and feel the pulse of a shared human story painted onto stone for eternity.

This looks awesome 👍. I think the power of the tribe has amazing effects too. On the weekend I lay in the river on my back and just feeling the water flow brings you closer to nature. My dog got cold too quickly though so I had to get out. I will try again next week.

The Golden Ratio (Φ = 1.61803) in the dimensions of the Parthenon.
The Parthenon, one of ancient Greece’s most iconic structures, is renowned for its harmonious proportions, with many elements reflecting the Golden Ratio.
This mathematical ratio, approximately 1.61803, has been celebrated for centuries as an ideal of aesthetic balance and beauty.
In the Parthenon, the dimensions and spacing of architectural features align with this ratio, highlighting the Greeks’ sophisticated understanding of symmetry and design.
The application of the Golden Ratio contributes to the building’s sense of balance, elegance, and timeless appeal, embodying ancient ideals of perfection.

Hirta Island, in the St Kilda archipelago of Scotland
In 1861, the island's residents constructed sixteen single-story cottages with chimneys and slate roofs, which they referred to as the "main street." These homes replaced older blackhouses that had been damaged by a hurricane. The community lived primarily through crofting, a traditional form of small-scale farming involving crops and livestock .
Hirta had been inhabited for over 2,000 years, with archaeological evidence of continuous human presence.
The islanders' diet largely depended on seabirds and their eggs due to the treacherous waters making fishing difficult. By the early 20th century, the population started to decline due to various factors, including disease brought by visiting tourists and the impact of World War I. The population dwindled from 112 in 1851 to just 36 by 1930, when the remaining residents petitioned to evacuate the island, citing unsustainable living conditions.
The island is now uninhabited but remains a dual UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today it is home to unique wildlife, including the Soay sheep and numerous seabird colonies.

Visually, Mad Max is notable for its gritty cinematography and innovative action sequences that utilize practical effects and high-speed car chases, which were revolutionary for its time. Miller’s direction creates a tense atmosphere filled with suspense and adrenaline, drawing viewers into the chaotic world of the film.

The Erechtheion (or Erechtheum) is an ancient Greek temple constructed on the acropolis of Athens between 421 and 406 BCE in the Golden Age of the city in order to house the ancient wooden cult statue of Athena and generally glorify the great city at the height of its power and influence. The Erechtheion has suffered a troubled history of misuse and neglect, but with its prominent position above the city and porch of six Caryatids, it remains one of the most distinctive buildings from antiquity.
The Erechtheion, named after the demi-god Erechtheus, the mythical Athenian king, was conceived as a suitable structure to house the ancient wooden cult statue of Athena, which maintained its religious significance despite the arrival of the gigantic chryselephantine statue within the nearby Parthenon. The building also had other functions, though, notably as the shrine centre for other more ancient cults: to Erechtheus, his brother Boutes - the Ploughman, Pandrosos, the mythical first Athenian king Kekrops (or Cecrops) - half-man, half-snake, and the gods Hephaistos and Poseidon.
As with the other new buildings on the acropolis, the Erechtheion was built from Pentelic marble which came from the nearby Mt. Pentelicus and was celebrated for its pure white appearance and fine grain. It also contains traces of iron which over time have oxidised, giving the marble a soft honey colour, a quality particularly evident at sunrise and sunset.
