The monastery of Saint Nicolas in the region of Meteora in Central Greece.
These huge monoliths are a very rare geological phenomenon.
During the period between 11th and 14th century, on the top of these rocks, the Greek monks built 24 monasteries, in order to be protected from the bandits and pirates.
Until the 20th century, monks, pilgrims and supplies reached the monastery only by means of rope-ladders or by a big basket coming up and down by a winch mechanism manipulated by the monks on top.

EMUS INTENSE LOOK (AUSTRALIA)

nobody@flickr.com (KAROLOS TRIVIZAS) — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:22:49 -0700

Emu is a large flightless bird native to Australia and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius.
It can sprint at 50 km/h (31 mph), note that its genus name Dromaius is a Greek word that means runner.
It is the second tallest up to 2 meters (after ostrich), and the third heaviest (after cassowary) extant bird in the world.
Its plumage varies regionally, matching the surrounding environment and improving its camouflage.
It is interesting that emus ingest stones, glass shards and bits of metal to grind food in its digestive system, and that the young birds are nurtured only by their fathers.
The emu is an important cultural icon of Australia. It appears on the coat of arms, various coins, features prominently in Indigenous Australian mythology, and hundreds of places are named after the bird.

Chateau de Bagnac is a neo-gothic architectural and historical gem in central France.
Nowadays it is unfortunately abandoned to the ravages of time laid in ruins.
The old medieval chateau of the XVth century, which was destroyed during the wars of religion (late XVIth Century), was partly rebuilt in 1858-1875.
