The Telamon, a cargo ship, made headlines when it ran aground at Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. This unfortunate incident served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the sea and its power over even the mightiest vessels. In Italy, amidst the ancient ruins of Pompeii's Forum Baths from the 1st century BC, one can imagine how these grand structures once bustled with life. The Telamon figures that adorned these baths stood tall and proud, supporting their weight with strength and grace. Moving to England's Lost Houses by Giles Worsley, we catch a glimpse of Uppark in Sussex. The saloon within this magnificent mansion exudes opulence and elegance, and is reminiscent of an era long gone but still cherished through photographs like this black-and-white gem. Another English country house captured in monochrome is Seaton Delaval in Whitley Bay. Designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, its main hall showcases his architectural genius. A telamon figure stands proudly on one side - a symbol of support for this majestic structure. Traveling to Vienna, Austria, we encounter another telamon figure adorning a column. These male figures have been used throughout history to add strength and beauty to architectural elements. Back in Lanzarote's Arecife Port lies the shipwrecked Telamon itself - now serving as a haunting reminder of both human triumphs and failures against nature's forces. Venturing into mythology brings us face-to-face with mythical horned Lion Atlantes at the base of a fountain - an enchanting sight that sparks imagination and wonder. Continuing our mythological journey takes us to Lamego, Portugal where mythical atlantes stand strong at the base of an Obelisk carved from granite. Their presence adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this historic site. Not far away from them is another granite masterpiece: a fish carving also adorning an Obelisk.
