Discovered in the garden the other day after a wild storm had lashed northern Sydney.
My roses were battered, and I lost a beautiful 'Apricot Nectar' floribunda that was snapped in half by the vicious winds.
However, amid the thunder, rain and fork lightning I ventured out into the garden to cluster all the roses (in the glazed pots) together for protection.
And the next morning I found these two roses together. My Meilland 'Seduction' floribunda is on the left (she's a French rose) - she's Juliet. And my 'Mr Lincoln' is on the right. He's Romeo. lol.
SO here is Kym Mazelle, from 1996, with 'Young Hearts Run Free' from the soundtrack of the movie 'Romeo & Juliet' starring Leonardo di Caprio.

In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.
ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.
Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –
The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.
However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).

Discovering this wonderful flower in alpine grasslands over 2000 metres a.s.l. is always a satisfaction. If the background is the impressive Sas del Valfreida (3002 m asl) the atmosphere is really magic.
I happened to discover the spiral staircase in this shot by a stroke of luck. I was passing by the Golden Mile Tower, and was curious to see that there was a movie complex The Projector attached to the tower.
The lifts were out of order, so I had to take the stairs. It turns out the staircase turned out to be a spiral one. This spiral staircase is truly a rather welll-hidden and dare I say, one that may descent into obscurity in the near future.
It was not surprising to see the cineplex so quiet and devoid of people as many people, especially the younger ones may not be aware of this place.

Quando i giorni di una vacanza iniziano ad accorciarsi verso la fine, la malinconia prende spazio.
E proprio durante quella transizione ho fatto questi ultimi scatti in un luogo che, a prescindere dalle condizioni meteo, ti mette di fronte a dei contrasti di bellezza e colori che raramente si dimenticheranno.

This morning I discovered a literal example of the golden hour rule. I was actually headed home after a trip down Seward Highway hoping to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately I ran into rain and clouds. Then on my drive home the sun came out briefly. The funny thing is that this spot is less than 10 minutes away from my house.

Inktober 2024, October 2. Prompt: discover. After my recent puppy time, I was keen to do a pup learning about the world!

Let's Fall In Love - Ella Fitzgerald :::
I have a feeling, it's a feeling,
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, insidental sentimental aliby
But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling
Our love is calling
Why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have an end for each other
To be or not be
Let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
We might have and end for each other
To be or not be
Let our hearts discover
Petra is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC, and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom as early as the 4th century BC.
The city is accessed through a 1.2-kilometre-long (0.75 mi) gorge called the Siq, which leads directly to the Khazneh, the most elaborate temples in Petra, known also as "The Treasury".

What’s going on guys? With the fall equinox, or as we call it here chicagohenge, just around the corner the weather mood is noticeably different here in the midwest. I plan on keeping up for a little while with the summer vibes but the storms are on the way. This is the image taken during the spring equinox with that golden light cutting trough the city. What do you think?
