Hercules' rest.
The tower behind is one of the oldest active Roman lighthouses in the world.
According to Spanish legend, one of the many heroes named Hercules battled the giant Gerión on this site, killed him, and built the Tower on top of his bones. This is why the Tower and skull-and-crossbones image is part of the coat of arms of the City of La Coruńa. The present appearance of the Tower, 68 metres tall and 112 metres above sea level, is due to renovations carried out in the 18th century.
According to Irish and Spanish mythological history, the Tower of Breogán was located on this site. Breogán was the brother of Mil king of the Ibero-Celts, and father of Ith, the leader of the first Ibero-Celtic expedition to Ireland. It was from Breogán's Tower that Ith first saw Ireland, 900 kilometres north of La Coruńa.
When is enough enough... What difference does it make when popular artist vent vent vent and support a site that tolerates deviant behaviour. HA! no wonder its all in a name.

Your Darkest Dreams is a monthly feature devoted to sharing dark photography works from DeviantArt. Often misunderstood as "morbid" or "depressing", Your Darkest Dreams seeks to show this kind of photography in a new way: by showcasing art that is thought provoking, but at the same time unabashedly displays the beauty in darkness.
I can't believe so many artists dedicate their efforts and time to create authentic works of art for us to USE freely! In the world of 3D stocks [ most of it unknown to the photomanipulators ] you can find truly inspiring fantasy and surreal elements that could never be captured by a regular camera. And the best part is that most of them come in a transparent background, so we can simply click and drag onto our work. How fun, fast and easy is that?
A former volunteer with the Artist Relations team, `kuschelirmel has always been a wonderful role model within the community.
With a vibrant and eclectic gallery that would make anyone proud, her dedication to providing informative and easy to follow tutorials, journal CSS, and inspirational stock is clearly long overdue for recognition.
