    Goya made this picture in the last years of his life and painted it directly onto a wall of his own house (his dining room, in fact). Part of a series called the Black Paintings, it is based on a scene from Greek mythology. The titan Saturn (Greek: Kronos), upon hearing a prophecy that he will be... more

    I never review before stumbling, but Howard' quote + his eyes make it very easy to see his stumbles will be fascinating. You know Howard, (and I'm sure you do know) it takes a lot of courage to do the right thing sometimes. I'm not as brave as I once was, but I can applaud your courage. :) Update...... words can't express how much Howard will impress you.

    It's a good measure of how long I was away that HowardPark managed to start, populate, and wrap up his magnificent StumbleBlog before I'd even heard of him. Hopefully the wrapping up is not for good - I've just read his whole blog, and I'd love to hear more from this humanist, progressive and intelligent Stumbler. (Yet another BumApples find for me. That's two in two days, Sam! Can't wait to see who you recommend tomorrow! :))

    Gret veiws from Howard park!Some other little quirks: To turn a light on, you flip the switch down, not up. The landscape is dotted with Bedouin tents and their sheep, goats, chickens, and dogs. These nomadic people are allowed to live anywhere they can, i.e. any place that does not physically prevent them from entering and squatting. Although there are many Western-style restaurants, bars, and hotels, there are also types of establishments that are totally unique, such as the Reem al-Bawadi ("gazelle of the wilderness"), a kind of open-air restaurant situated in a series of huge enclosed courtyards partly covered by tents, with fountains, archways, bridges, low ornate tables, divan-like seats, and a kitchen chimney spewing smoke like a foundry. Each table has a manhole-sized depression in the center, lined with carved bronze, in which the food is served. And when everyone's done eating, they break out the shisha (hookah).
