The Knights Templar

I had to bring here once again the NRP Sagres III of the Portuguese Navy.

So much has been written about the Knights Templar, the books, the movies, the all shrouded history of the Holy Grail, the disappearance of an Order that so many admire. Many get surprised when I tell them, the Order is alive and well, maybe its purpose changed only to accommodate a new era.

The church condemned the Knights Templar all over Europe with the exception of Portugal. King Dinis of Portugal negotiated with the Pope John XXII after the institution name was changed in 1318 to Order of Christ , the pope approved the institution in March 14 1319 by Papal bull. The stronghold of the Templar in Portugal is the Convent of Christ and its castle in the city of Tomar, Portugal. With that change, no Templar in Portugal was condemned or prosecuted, and the Order lived well and long under the protection of the Portuguese kings. The cross of Knights Templar is also alive and well to the present day.

When the organization was renamed to Order of Christ by king Dinis of Portugal, the cross suffered little change. You can see it on the Portuguese Navy training barque NRP Sagres III.

Today, in the 21^st Century a ship, the Sagres III, travels all over the world with brave men and women, carrying with her the history, the soul, the spirit and the descendants of the Knights Templar. Unknown to so many people, who think the Knights Templar are only History on written books, a thing from the past… how mistaken they are.

Winter is on its way, the picture here was taken in Cape Cod on a winter day. I rarely do this type compositions I call them a "Nordic style image" there nothing that you can embrace here.When you look at it, just put some wood on the fireplace or stove.

A Day in the Harbor

I like serenity, places that can bring peace calm and coziness. New England has it all, you can also find extremes, coldness, solitude, unrest. Indeed the choice is yours…so, don’t forget your camera.

Gifts of Summer

I know, the fall is starting, so, why not bringing in here a few more greens from the summer's end!
