At the foot of a blue wall on Carrer del Museu in Valencia, the facade of a tiny house attracts the attention of passersby. The house is only a foot or two tall, but it is designed in a classically Valencian style. It has a Spanish tiled roof, a little fountain, and a “garden” to the side. Its small size means no human can ever visit the Cat House.
When I think of August, I think of travel. This photo captures the spirit of those amazing destinations, filled with surprise, and glamour and mystery.
One of the places I most want to go is Prague, a bucket list destination for sure, but nevertheless. So I decided to imagine what it would look like through the lens.
Alex Jansen, who represents this corset manufacturer, came into Union 206 to re-imagine what such a scene would look like. This is a composite of a shot of Alex and an iStock image, featuring the Charles Bridge illuminated by gas lanterns in early foggy morning, Prague, Czech Republic.

State Historical Museum is the largest national museum of Russia. Its collections have been forming for more than 100 years and now contain over 4.5 million items. Architect Vladimir Sherwood and engineer Anatoly Semenov created the building of the museum on Red Square. It was opened for visitors in June 1883 during the celebrations of Emperor Alexander III coronation. The exposition starts in a majestic Ceremonial Entrance Hall (Paradnye seny) with “The Genealogical Tree of Russian Rulers” painted on the vaults. The first halls (1–7) introduce ancient history: the development of human civilization in Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.
Почти полтора столетия Красную площадь Москвы украшает величественное здание Исторического музея, построенное в 1875–1883 гг. специально для размещения национальной сокровищницы России. Своим появлением один из старейших московских музеев обязан грандиозной Всероссийской Политехнической выставке. Инициаторами создания музея выступили организаторы ее Севастопольского отдела, посвященного героической обороне Севастополя во время Крымской войны, а также исследованиям древнего Херсонеса. 9 февраля 1872 года было получено "высочайшее соизволение" императора Александра II на устройство в Москве Исторического музея имени цесаревича Александра Александровича. Эта дата считается днем основания будущего Государственного исторического музея. Идея создания музея национальной истории объединила множество людей — ученых, военных, художников, промышленников, государственных деятелей, членов царской фамилии и рядовых граждан. Московская городская дума отдала под строительство музея участок земли на Красной площади, изначально планировавшийся для размещения собственного здания. В августе 1875 года император Александр II лично заложил камень в основание будущего музея. 27 мая 1883 года, в дни коронационных торжеств, Исторический музей посетил император Александр III с императрицей Марией Федоровной.

The Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers.
There have been shops on Ponte Vecchio since the 13th century. Initially, there were all types of shops, including butchers and fishmongers and, later, tanners, whose "industrial waste" caused a pretty rank stench in the area. In 1593, Ferdinand I decreed that only goldsmiths and jewellers be allowed to have their shops on the bridge in order to improve the well-being of all, including their own as they walked over the bridge.
Benvenuto Cellini, a 16th century goldsmith, is honoured with a bust on the bridge. By night, the wooden shutters of the shops make them look like suitcases and wooden chests, making it a very suggestive route to take along an evening passeggiata, or stroll. Ponte Vecchio is a very romantic spot in Florence, with its great views over the river and of the bridge itself.
