    Rain - liquide sunshine.

    Great place it must be where such nice things are able to be seen. Love the Sphinx and its background. Please have a wonderful start into the new week.

    These are great. I have told you before I love your walks. Love the symbol of the Municipal Police.

    That's an interesting symbol for the police.
    A fine collection of myths here.
    It was fun going back to see your December 2008 posts.

    I love myths and legends of all kinds so it goes without saying that I love mythical creatures too. This is a post especially for me. ;)

    So you stayed inside? It was raining all day yesterday but I had to go out (you know, Father Christmas and all that). I didn't see anything as interesting as these fairies, phoenix or sphinx though!

    Mythological creatures and their stories are always so interesting.
