Belogradchik Rocks (Bulgaria), also known as ''The Horseman'' & ''The Bear'' are rock formations that date back from 10,000BC -600BC. Legend has it that monks expelled a beautiful nun from nunnery for falling in love with a man on white horse. The monks, nun, man on horse are turned to stone forming the Rocks.

'' Moires ''- by Eric Rondepierre

 William Mortensen (1897-1965) compositions were steeped in Gothic and Romantic traditions, his subject matter often whimsical, often bizarre, his style a strange combination of Lorenzo de Bernini, Edgar Allan Poe, Man Ray, Salvador Dali and Maxfield Parrish.

''And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams, Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams -- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams''. -Edgar Allan Poe
