Not only day trippers enjoying the #summer sun in #Skipton today but also a field of #Geese. Or is this a new crop?

The transformative #power of #nature.

This used to an open-cast mine and local eye-sore.
Today it's a peaceful nature reserve and recreational beauty spot with wild birds and even a heron.

The #Odysseus #Greek #myth mentions Phorkys bay, thought a reference to Monk #seals (phokia). They inhabit caves and beaches in Northern #Kefalonia and #Ithaka, now considered key areas for their survival in the Mediterraean.

In 1776, John Nutt sold his wife at the #Pontefract, Buttercross #market for 5 shillings in #Yorkshire #England.

Does your home town, village, city have any interesting or quirky #historical #facts or #stories?

I'm sure there must be. This is our RSPCA rescue cat, who lived on the streets for 2 years and now is very happily settled into his forever home. 😻

Our rescue #cat Milo on his favourite scratching mat. Always important to keep your claws/clawkers in prime condition!

Extraordinary gold jewellery set (c 500 BC) from the #Etruscan port of #Spina. It was an important trading partner with #ancient #Athens and flourished between 6th-3rd c) BC. #Ferrara #Archaeological #museum #Italy.

Blown away by the red-figure #ancient #Greek #Athenian pottery from #Spina #Italy. One of the finest collections I've ever encountered.
This one depicts a poignant scene between #Hector and #Andromache, characters from the #Trojan Wars. 440BC Chicago Painter.

#Odysseus is alleged to have been killed inadvertently by Telegonos, his son with the #sorceress #Kirke (#Circe) using a spear tipped with poisonous stingray venom. Thus fulfilling a prophesy that death would come from the sea.

Finding Ithaka based on genuine historical research.

"The breathtaking epic story of Odysseus, the hero of the Trojan Wars.
An enigmatic sorceress, Kirke.
And an enduring archaeology mystery set against the Greek island of Kefalonia."

And now the sequel Telegonos.
