Category : WPC
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of July 12, 2017.
The Triptych of Temptation of St. Anthony is an oil painting on wood panel by Hieronymus Bosh, dating from around 1501.
The left panel depicts the flight and fall of Saint Anthony, the centre panel shows the temptations he was subjected to, the right panel depicts the contemplation of Saint Anthony.
I was lucky when I was taken this photo at Óbidos (Portugal), for me is like a collage about mental and spiritual torments. If you want to know more about, go to the “Wikipedia”

Weekly Photo Challenge – Delta
Category : WPC
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of June 28, 2017 (picture that symbolizes transitions, change, and the passing of time).
This photo was taken in Palma de Mallorca, in the Caves of the Drach (Cuevas del Drach)
The caves have formed by water being forced through the entrance from the Mediterranean Sea, and some researchers think the formation may date back to the Miocene Epoch. There is an underground lake situated in the caves called Martel Lake, which is about 115 m in length and 30 m in width, and its depth varies between four and twelve meters. It is named after the French explorer and scientist Édouard-Alfred Martel, who is considered the founding father of speleology (the study of caves). He was invited to explore the cave 1896. A German cave explorer, M.F. Will, had mapped the White and Black cave in 1880. Martel found two more caves, as well as the underground lake.(Wikipedia)
