Torre de Gálata, en Estambul, Turquía.

La Torre de Gálata, también llamada Christea Turris (torre de Cristo) por los genoveses y Megalos Pyrgos (la Gran Torre) por los bizantinos, es una torre medieval de piedra situada en Estambul, Turquía, al norte del Cuerno de Oro.

Es uno de los lugares más llamativos de la ciudad y domina el horizonte de Gálata (Karaköy).

La torre tiene una altura de 66,9 m (62,59 m sin el remate) y consta de nueve plantas.

Cuando se construyó, se convirtió en la estructura más alta de la ciudad.

La base de la torre se encuentra a 35 m sobre el nivel del mar.

Tiene un diámetro de 16,45 m en la base, con 8,95 m de diámetro interior y paredes de 3,75 m de ancho. La planta mirador está a 51,65 m. de altura.

Museo Archeologico di Pyrgos.

Uno dei reperti più impressionanti che si trovano in questo Museo è il teschio di una donna, adornato con un diadema vitreo composto da tre file di perline colore blu. Fu trovato a Kafkania Olympia (sito "Karavas"), nel 2006, in una grande tomba micenea a camera trapezoidale (dim. 3,50 x 4,13 m.) con strati sepolcrali sovrapposti ricchi di offerte secondo cui il monumento è datato tra il XIV-XII secolo a.C. Chissà a chi apparteneva questo teschio che conserva i denti in uno stato veramente eccezionale, forse una giovane donna di rango sociale elevato, morta precocemente e seppellita con questo diadema visto che andava sposa ad Ade.

Henry was not even a particularly neglectful father by royal contemporary standards. He saw Elizabeth seldom, but he was kept aware of her progress, and in 1542, after dining with both daughters at Pyrgo Park near Romford, he began to see more of them. In Elizabeth's case, this may have had as much to do with her age as anything else--she was, in her father's words, now exhibiting the qualities 'agreeable to her estate' [...] At nine or so, Elizabeth would have begun to be a civilized companion. For the last five years of the king's life, Elizabeth was given increasing signs that he loved and cherished her, and she reciprocated with a proud and powerful affection which endured in her as queen.

Nasos Karabelas is a fine art photographer. He was born in 1992 in Pyrgos, Greece. The kind of photography he has been dealing with is experimental black-and-white photography, particularly “the possibilities of deformation of the human body”. One of the main features of his work is the frequent use of the “long exposure” technique through which he tries to explore, from a new point of view, his various subjects. Using the human figure as his central theme, he aims to create new forms and give them new meaning.

"This series is an attempt to understand the functioning of sensations. To explore the space of emotions and the interaction between the forms of the image and the viewer. Each photo is an entity, which includes a certain mental condition. So, we are dealing with a variety of emotional loads within a world that is equally ambiguous with ours. The forms obtain a dreamlike dimension. Sometimes you can not easily understand their contours."

"The exploration of the forms inside the photographs gives us the opportunity to discover the various aspects of our psychosynthesis. The imprinted forms indicate an extension of ourselves and express our deeper psychic world.  The deformed and fragile forms are like an endless flow of feelings. The camera is transformed into the prime tool for observation, exploration, and re-discovery of the world of emotions, and the use of black & white offers the right aesthetics for depicting forms and framing emotions. With the idea of movement continually imprinted on photos, the people look enclosed within a new reality. A fuzzy and deformed reality. A dimension that belongs to the world of dreams and chaos."

Someone in my english group shared this picture, and I was able to identify this little guy. The Gonodonta pyrgo is a species of fruit-piercing moth in the family Erebidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1777. It is found in North America. Isn't it cool?
