The Keeper of Last Words
The last dragon hoards the final words of those who died alone, and a scribe with a failing voice climbs the mountain to give it hers before silence takes her.

Fascinating bit of Medieval civic history from @twitterrefugerin.eurosky.social for today's #PalacesAndGardens theme of #LastWords

Carved in stone, declared in history. The ultimate symbol of civic freedom—and the final say on justice, Bremen Roland
#PalacesAndGardens #LastWords #statues #monochrome #ClassicMono
Roland statues were erected across medieval Europe as visual symbols of city autonomy, justice, and market freedom. The statue meant that the city had its own imperial laws and answered directly to the Emperor, giving local authorities the "final say" (the last word) on justice without interference from local bishops or princes.

The burial place of the heart of Robert the Bruce (1274-1329), King of Scots.
The 12th century Melrose Abbey, Melrose, Scottish Borders, Scotland.

#melrose #scotland #history #photography #eastcoastkin
A view of the ruins of Melrose Abbey, a historic Cistercian monastery located in Melrose, Scottish Borders, Scotland. Only a very small part of the first abbey church survives. The present building of rose-coloured stone dates almost entirely to the post-1385 rebuilding. King David I of Scotland (Robert the Bruce's great grandfather) founded Melrose Abbey, the first Cistercian monastery in Scotland, in 1136. It was one of a number of abbeys that he set up in the Borders to show both his piety and his power over this contested territory. The Cistercians were drawn to this fertile spot beside the River Tweed by its close associations with St Aidan and St Cuthbert. The monks came from Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire, the Cistercians’ great northern English missionary base. Monastic life continued at Melrose for the next 450 years.The last monk, John Watson, died around 1590. Powerful people endowed the abbey richly and it was a highly desirable final resting place. King Alexander II of Scotland (died 1249) is buried here. The heart of Robert the Bruce, King of Scots (died 1329) was also buried at Melrose, although his body was interred at Dunfermline Abbey. After Robert the Bruce died in 1329, his heart was removed, embalmed, and entrusted to his loyal friend Sir James Douglas to carry on a crusade to the Holy Land. Douglas was killed fighting the Moors in Spain, and the heart was brought back to Scotland. The heart was interred at Melrose Abbey. A lead container holding the heart was found during excavations in 1921 and again in 1996, then reburied in the abbey grounds marked by a stone memorial plaque in 1998. Melrose’s location put it on the front line of conflict with England during the later Middle Ages: Attacks by Edward I (1300 and 1307) and Edward II (1322) required major repairs. Richard II’s attack in 1385 led to a complete rebuilding of the abbey church. The War of the Rough Wooing (a brutal campaign by Henry VIII) in the 1540s caused further damage.

Our photograph captures an imposing historic tomb at Glasnevin Cemetery beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. At the centre stands an ornate stone mausoleum, its weathered grey-brown masonry darkened by age and time. The tomb is enclosed by a roofed canopy supported by tall stone columns, several decorated with intricate spiral carvings. Rounded arches connect the pillars, creating a series of shadowy openings through which trees, gravestones and the surrounding cemetery can be seen. Above them, a sloping roof of small, overlapping tiles is crowned by two upright stone finials. Beneath the canopy rests a substantial stone sarcophagus, adorned with carved panels and sculptural details. In the foreground, numerous flat, rectangular gravestones lie closely arranged across the ground, their uneven surfaces catching faint traces of light. Beyond the monument, crosses, headstones and dark silhouettes of trees extend into the distance. The photograph's muted teal sky and deep shadows lend the scene a haunting, almost cinematic atmosphere. Heavy clouds gather overhead, contrasting with the pale highlights on the ancient stonework. The perspective draws the eye across the low-lying graves towards the grand central tomb, emphasising its scale and solemn presence. There is a profound sense of stillness here, where generations of Irish lives are remembered among weathered stone, quiet pathways and enduring monuments. It is a place where history and memory seem to linger, and where the silence of the cemetery feels almost tangible. Finally, our picture today is finished with a simple white border frame.

"And then there are the final resting spots that resemble a tiny palace. Elias K. Wiley (who died on the Oregon Trail on June 10, 1852). I do wonder why three locks are needed. Answer in alt text." -mick
#MickPic #MementoMori #MountCalvaryCemetery
The image shows the Elias K. Wiley stone mausoleum located at Mount Calvary Cemetery in Portland, Oregon Elias K. Wiley (who died on the Oregon Trail on June 10, 1852). Choosing an above-ground mausoleum instead of a traditional underground grave involves distinct differences in daily maintenance, environment, committal services, and costs. Environment and Protection • Clean and Dry: Crypts keep caskets isolated from direct contact with dirt, mud, groundwater, and weeds, which is particularly beneficial in areas with high water tables, heavy rainfall, or unstable soil. • Weather-Protected Visits: Indoor community mausoleums let families visit year-round in a climate-controlled, covered hallway—avoiding snow, rain, mud, or extreme heat. • Accessibility: Walkways around mausoleums are typically paved, level, and equipped with nearby seating, making them easier to navigate for elderly visitors or those with mobility challenges. • investment. • Longer Construction Phase: Building a custom private mausoleum takes roughly 12 to 18 months, whereas a traditional ground plot can be prepared immediately. • Additional Fees: Some facilities charge ongoing maintenance or association fees for structure upkeep The selected region shows a close-up of rusted iron decorative gates secured with a thick chain and three Master Lock padlocks tangled together. This setup is a classic example of a "buddy system" or multi-lock daisy chain. This specific locking configuration allows multiple individuals or authorized entities (such as family members, cemetery groundskeepers, or historical preservationists) to open the gate using their own unique key. By interlocking the padlocks through separate loops of the chain or with each other, unlocking any single padlock breaks the chain's continuity and permits access without requiring everyone to share the same key
