Even if you don't live in Lysergica ,you may have heard of The Wealthy Sisterhood of The Golden Temples", once were known as " Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon" often shortened in " Templars " ,
And you may have heard of few internal changes after the attempt of King of France and the Pope to destroy the Order ( see message 3 on viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7931&start=0 ), changes clearly reflected in the new name (the old definition was too misused by all sort of tricksters and maniacs )
This year to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation of the Sisterhood was organized the 1st Marathon for Nomadic Temples
For security reasons the public was discouraged to assist along the way ,impact with running Temples may be harmful and even lethal , but nobody complain because is much more exciting assist from inside the running Temples , is a much more spectacular view even if may cause sort of sea-sickness
The Rules of The Marathon are few and simple:
1)there is a route to follow , and a few checkpoints
2)It is obviously forbidden for the Temples to fly, float or use anti-gravity
3) No Doping , to participate is necessary to pass all the most severe Lysergica anti.doping controls:
that means drivers should be sufficiently sober to stay erect and walk straight or sort of straight, anyway without support and without zigzagging too much for at least a few meters
Here the entry of the winner of the Marathon at the last checkpoint in Mandelbrot Plaza

Below some photo of the other running temples taken at the checkpoints







The concurrent below is clearly o bit overweight and puffing ,yet is keeping the pace

Here the Marathon route pass to trough the alternate Italy described well in panorama of 18 centtury Flemish painters , where is another checkpoint...




Oh ...below a temple stumbled and risk to fall down





Too much parameters to copy and paste but i may soon zip the m3p files ....
