Orange hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca) grows in grassy fields and beside paths. It is an immigrant from Europe that grows extremely well here in Southern Quebec.

Ladybird

A pretty little thing, the Seven-spotted ladybug. It's not the ladybird people my age grew up with hereabouts: apparently it came to Newfoundland in the 1980s. And it has largely taken over the niche of native species of ladybirds.

This one, feeding on aphids and the like on a lupin, was on a path that cuts across a hill near downtown St. John's this afternoon.

And, yeah, I know it's a ladybug most places. They were all ladybirds to the people I knew as a child. "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home; Your house is afire, your children will burn."

These guard posts were part of the defensive system put in place by Louis XVI to deter forces landing from British warships, which often sailed close to the shore. The collage shows the sunset near the small bay of Dahouët.

Mystras - Hagia Sophia

nobody@ipernity.com (Martin M. Miles) — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 21:20:02 +0000

Martin M. Miles has posted:

Mystras is a Byzantine ruined city near the village of the same name, northwest of Sparta.

The history of Mystras begins with the Fourth Crusade. When the Crusaders conquered the Peloponnese in 1206/1207, Godfrey I of Villehardouin became Prince of Achaea. His son, William II, conquered the rest of Laconia and in 1249 built a strong hilltop fortress in Mystras, which had previously been uninhabited.

In 1259, William II was captured by the troops of the Byzantine Emperor and secured his release by surrendering Mystras. The Greek inhabitants of Sparta, weary of Crusader rule, settled in Mystras, located just three kilometers away. A flourishing city grew up below the castle, eventually boasting a population of tens of thousands.
Mystras was conquered by the Ottomans in 1460. Minarets began to appear alongside churches and monasteries. The city came under Venetian control in 1687, but fell back to the Ottoman Turks as early as 1715.

In 1770, during a Russo-Turkish war, troops from the Balkans, who had invaded the Peloponnese on Ottoman orders, devastated the city. This marked the end of Mystras's heyday. During the Greek War of Independence, the city was subsequently so severely destroyed that plans for its reconstruction were abandoned. Instead, a short time later, Sparta, which had been abandoned centuries earlier, was rebuilt.

Mystras has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.

Hagia Sophia was built in the 14th century by Manuel Kantakouzenos, the first despot of Mystras.

Built within the palace complex, it functioned as the royal palace church. The church became the catholicon of the men's monastery, as can be seen from the seal of the Patriarch Philotheus, from the year 1365, with which it was converted into a monastery at the request of the founder himself.

During Ottoman period, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque.
