Happy Halloween!

St. Vitus Cathedral (Prague, Czech Republic)

The more I think about it, the more I realize my weekend in Prague last summer was not enough. Even though there are a million other places I’d like to visit, that I’ve never been to before, I’m feeling like I may end up back in Prague for a weekend next summer.

Tis the season…

King Diamond (and grandma) @ Copenhell 2016

Not only is Halloween just around the corner, but so is Copenhell 2017. It looks like I will be there for the second year in a row. So far they have only announced a few bands, but I’m excited to see Candlemass (as they rarely make it to the USA, and I’ve been a fan since 1986) and Overkill (who I haven’t seen since 1987).

If any of the powers that be at Copenhell are reading this, the bands I’d most like to see at Copenhell 2017 include Rammstein, Kampfar, Watain, and Death Angel. Please and thank you.

Elgin Marbles

Parthenon Marbles in the Duveen Gallery of the British Museum

At some point the Elgin Marbles will make their way back to Greece as their presence in the British Museum seems very wrong. At that point, I’m guessing admission to the British Museum will go from free to 30 pounds as they can’t exactly charge people to see stolen property currently.

Today’s photo features marble sculpture created about 2,500 years ago on the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. If you look really closely you can see holes in certain places. These weren’t from destruction in transport. Instead, these are original and were there to hold objects that are now missing like horse bridle, reigns, etc.

Camping at The Gorge

Gorge camping

We pulled into our campsite after dark which is a bit confusing. The only good thing about arriving at a camp in the dark is the next morning when you wake up to a surprisingly lovely view.
