"At sea" is "Till Havs" in Swedish.
The greatest tenor we had in the post-war period is Jussi Björling. One of his most famous performances was "Till Havs".
Here is a different recording with an English speaking commentator.

This is a photo from Villa Borghese, Rome and the Temple of Asclepius built at the little lake there in the park. The temple building itself is late 18th century (built 1785-1792), but it was built as a home for some ancient sculptures. The statue of Asclepius himself is thought to have come from the Mausoleum of Augustus, and the other, smaller pieces are of Hellenistic date and style.
But there are a couple of things you can't see in this shot: 1) it was incredible hot, and even the evenings weren't all that nice. But they looked quite pretty. And 2) there was a big sign of the gate entering this area that said it was to close at 21, and I went in at a quarter past, hoping very much they wouldn't lock me in. Thankfully they didn't.
Wish you a wonderful week ahead
Introducing you to an other part of our summer travel: the Galapagos Islands.
*******************************************************************************
The Galápagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean, 906 km (563 mi) west of continental Ecuador, of which they are a part.
There are 18 main islands, 3 smaller islands, and 107 rocks and islets.
The islands are located at the Galapagos Triple Junction. The archipelago is located on the Nazca Plate (a tectonic plate), which is moving east/southeast, diving under the South American Plate at a rate of about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) per year.[5] It is also atop the Galapagos hotspot, a place where the Earth's crust is being melted from below by a mantle plume, creating volcanoes. The first islands formed here at least 8 million and possibly up to 90 million years ago.[6]

A pink flower - I believe it's abtype of Spirea - hanging over the pond at Hodges Barn. The green of trees and the blue of the sky was reflected in the water on this day of the National Garden Scheme, which gave me a chance to visit this beautiful place!
