GIANT COINCIDENCE

This week…

Monster-of-the-Week: …our honoree is Adamastor, the furious sea giant encountered by Vasco de Gama in Camoes’ great Portuguese national epic The Lusiads. Adamastor has been a Monster-of-the-Week before, on Portugal day in June of 2010, and I sent a link of that item to a friend visiting Lisbon on business, because it included a picture of a statute of the titan in that city. She went for a walk, wandered down a random street and by sheer chance found him! She sent this pic of him to me…


…along with a pic from behind, of the view Adamastor commands…


With that to look at all day, why should he be in such a bad mood?
