Gymnosophist is defined as “going nearly naked” according to my erstwhile Oxford English dictionary – from the Greek gumnos meaning naked, don’t you know.
On a balcony above the Chihuly Collection in St Petersburg, Florida, I found the perfect illustration of this concept.

Wow! What a great post for the letter G.
And I never even heard this word before! I will try and use it in a sentence of the next few days!
Thanks for the smile and for linking to the letter G.
A+

Good luck in that. In fact, it’s a great idea. I’ll give it a go too.
