Just following on from yesterday's post re the twin "goings on"; in London, with Trooping the Colour, and in Edinburgh with the Commonwealth Games baton relay.
Today is day 3 of the latter - in Scotland anyway - and we visited an old favourite, Rosslyn Chapel, in the company of pro-independence actor, Brian Cox. Apparently the name Brian has connotations with kings and exalted/high/noble, whilst his surname guides us in the direction of coxswain, someone who steers a vessel. BBC News
Here @ newspaceman we don't watch many movies thus we know little of Brian Cox, although he seems to have had a distinguished career and has received a title - CBE - from the Queen. We know a little about Rosslyn, and it's legends of Knights Templar and freemasonry, but mythomorph in the sidebar is a better source in that regard.
Her most regal majesty is busy as always today, down in Windsor Castle she is investing two new Knights into her Order of the Garter. The culprits are Mervyn King, ex governor of the Bank of England, and Eliza Manningham-Buller, ex director general of the spooky MI5. Note that Her Majesty makes her own decisions on who she admits into the clan. BBC News

Now that's a strange little clip. ..... why does it matter if it fell? Surely the ground is the best place? If a connection to the planet, is to be believed?
I often wondered why the ground is associated with bad things and dirt? When the ground is the place we should be.

Hiya hirundine, note the location -
Scottish Mining Museum
Underground, pits of Hell ?
Note too the photographer, and his number 11.
cheers
Wheels within wheels? I come from a mining family, in the Rhondda. They moved to London in 1930's like a lot of Welsh.
In Canada, B.C. Most of the mines are open pit. Near where I live is an old underground gold mine. It now is closed and flooded except for a level at surface. A person can tour it, during summer. I've been a few times. Hell? Maybe? Having worked in a smelter and an open pit coal mine. It's easy to see the connotations. I would say that hell is in people's minds. That karma dictates the next life. Maya, karma and dharma. The school, the teacher and the lesson.
