The National Pantheon (Panteão Nacional) is the resting place for several relevant Portuguese personalities. This monument was initially the Church of Saint Engrácia and although its construction began in the late 17th century, lack of funds for completing the project froze the construction until the 20th century. One very popular Portuguese expression was born from this historical fact: any apparent situation for which an ending is annoyingly not expected in the near future is named as "works of Saint Engrácia".
A remarkable cultural heritage of the Afar Region of Ethiopia (African continent), a region with one of the harshest environments on Earth, and a true testament to human resilience: the salt miner caravan of the Danakil Depression desert is as impressive as it is humbling.
These miners and camel herders make daily travels to the middle of the salt flats and collect blocks of it under extreme conditions, to be sold for amounts so small that are almost incomprehensible to most of us.
But the most impressive of this entire ordeal is knowing that it will carry on tomorrow and the day after, day after day. Much like Sisyphus' Ordeal.

Fall Season is awesome for epic skies on my town.
