This stained glass window from Église Sainte-Madeleine, a church in Gramond, France, depicts Saints Victor of Damascus and Paul the Apostle. Though they were not contemporaries, both men have a connection to Damascus. Moreover, legend has it that each were martyred by beheading, hence they are displayed holding swords. Today is the feast of The Conversion of St. Paul and the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in much of Western Christianity.

Tompot blenny (Parablennius gattorugine), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. Note: no FP of this species. It can be found in shallow, coastal waters off western Europe and northern Africa and in the Mediterranean. The tompot blenny is a relatively large blenny that can grow up to 30 centimetres (12 in) in length. There is a single branched tentacle over each of its eyes. It's very territorial and its territory is centred around a crevice in the rocky reef which the fish uses for shelter. It occurs in shallow seas at depths of 3–32 metres (9.8–105.0 ft) and is crepuscular, being active mainly at dawn and at dusk. It has sharp, comb-like teeth which it uses to scrape food from the substrate. It feeds on sea anemones and other invertebrates such as prawns and other crustaceans.
