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.
it is potentially the best medium for explaining man to himself and to his fellow man :-)

Anlässlich des 25-jährigen Bestehens der Ufa-Filmstudios kam 1943 – also Mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg – der mit grossem Aufwand und Starbesetzung produzierte Farbfilm «Münchhausen» in die Kinos. Er erzählte – wie passend für einen vom Propagandaminister persönlich in Auftrag gegebenen Film - die Lebensgeschichte des bekannten und populären «Lügenbarons» Hieronymus von Münchhausen. Der Film sollte ausdrücklich ein Unterhaltungs- und kein Propagandafilm sein. Das Drehbuch schrieb der eigentlich mit Berufsverbot belegte Schriftsteller Erich Kästner unter Pseudonym. Einige Dialoge enthalten trotz strenger Zensur potentiell subversive Äusserungen. So antwortet Münchhausen seinem Diener Christian, als dieser bei einem Blick auf die Uhr des Barons feststellt, entweder müsse die Uhr kaputt sein, oder die Zeit selber: «Die Zeit ist kaputt, Christian.»
Mehr ist auch heute nicht zu sagen.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Ufa film studios, the color film "Münchhausen," produced at great expense and with a star-studded cast, was released in 1943 - in the middle of World War II. It told the life story of the well-known and popular "Liar Baron" Hieronymus von Münchhausen - as was fitting for a film commissioned by the Minister of Propaganda himself. The film was expressly intended to be an entertainment film and not a propaganda film. The screenplay was written by the writer Erich Kästner, who was actually banned from his profession, under a pseudonym. Despite strict censorship, some dialogues contain potentially subversive statements. For example, Münchausen replies to his servant Christian when the latter, looking at the baron's watch, sais that either the watch must be broken, or time itself: "Time is broken, Christian."
That's all there is to say today, too.

The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

Somehow I inherited old books from my family of origin. Such as this one, printed in 1900, entitled "The Complete Poems of Sir Thomas More; Collected by Himself with Explanatory Notes". The thin piece of tissue or vellum protects an old photo or lithograph of the man himself.
Do you remember when vintage or antique books were assembled with such care?

This guy found himself in trouble. A friend called to say he was in her pool skimmer, and they were ready to add chlorine for the summer. I came over and grabbed him. Tomorrow he will be placed in a nice preserve with a pond near me. I fully expected it to be a Bullfrog.... but it's a Green Frog. These are the guys that sound like a guitar string being strummed. I asked him to pose for me, and he was gracious and was a very cooperative model.
Note from the designer himself:
"The rabbit, with its beady eyes and its waistcoat must certainly be considered to be the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland."
Like the Owl (see first comment box) it has a foot, which enables the top-heavy figure to stand. Both origami animals have the same "Owl-base" ( see second comment box).
Model: Origami Rabbit
Design: James Sakoda
Diagrams in the book: 'Modern Origami' by James Sakoda
Paper: 15x15cm white tant paper. Final height 11cm, because of those long ears ;-))

Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul (song text: French/Turkish lyrics)
Lying down on a rock in the middle of Kanlica,
I make my tears swim towards Hisar,
There’s nothing left to do, she wanted to go and went away
Though I understand, it pains me deeply, as it ended so one-sidedly.
I now need the lodos (southwest winds), a paddle, a boat
A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red
I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it
The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.
Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
What a pity, how man is defeated by himself,
No cure for betrayal has been found, the heart is an immense black void
Nothing can be done, that’s just how the heart is, it only loved
I’m about to know a new skin, a new excitement.
I now need the lodos (south west winds) , a paddle, a boat
A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red
I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it
The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.
Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,
It’s never witnessed such grief
I’m dying a wretched death from your love
There’s no trace of pride left in me.
Capturing a subject in New England Autumn colors is a must every year for me. A young white tailed buck stops to groom himself in front of some wonderful fall colors.

Description in English and Dutch
Mr. Monster was taking a leisurely stroll along the canal in Kinderdijk, admiring the magnificent reflections of the clouds in the water. As he stopped to take in the breathtaking view, he began to dream away to the past and found himself learning about the incredible history of water management and windmills in the Unesco area. He was transported back to a time of innovation and discovery, when Dutch engineers perfected the art of controlling the water and safeguarding their land from the ever-present threat of flooding. He saw the development of the windmills from their early days to the 19th century, when they were used to pump water to and from the canals. As he continued to take in the scenery, Mr. Monster knew that he had been granted a unique opportunity to learn about the history of the area and all that it entailed.

Toen Marco een aantal jaren geleden tijdens zijn wandeling in Kinderdijk stopte om een aantal foto's te maken van het prachtige landschap, werd hij betoverd door de schoonheid van de weerspiegeling van de wolken op het water. Starend naar de wolken droomde hij weg naar het verleden en begon daar te leren over de geschiedenis van waterbeheer en molens in het Unesco-gebied. Hij werd meegenomen naar een tijd van innovatie en ontdekking, toen Nederlandse ingenieurs de kunst van waterbeheersing perfectioneerden en het land beschermden tegen de voortdurende dreiging van overstromingen. Hij zag de ontwikkeling van de molens vanaf hun vroege dagen tot de 19e eeuw, toen ze werden gebruikt om water naar en van de kanalen te pompen. Marco wist dat hij een unieke kans had gekregen om de geschiedenis van het gebied te leren kennen en alles wat daarbij kwam kijken.

Not sure if this mocking bird puffed himself up to make himself look bigger, or maybe he was just drying off. Either way it looked cute.
So, finally Monday arrives (after a completely abysmal Saturday and Sunday in as far as Light is concerned) and so does the Light. I did a quick scout for the caterpillar (planned for next post), nowhere to be seen. Settling down on the bench that was used for the bee shot seemed like the thing to do. Contemplating if I should change up my gear to take advantage of the light. Nahh, too much effort. I noticed the Blue Jays in a frenzy over the peanuts. I was still disturbed over the fact that someone, you know who you are, had posted a shot of a Nuthatch in an upright feeding position. That is highly unusual. Up here, the Nuthatch has taken it upon himself to teach the Blue Jays how to do it his way. I had observed that behavior for a while and thus I came up with my purpose for this Monday. I talked the Nuthatch into getting his top student to perform this acrobatic feat so I could document this. I watched in wonder as the Blue Jay followed his sensei’s instructions. If other people can show Nuthatches right-side-up, I can certainly display a Blue Jay upside-down. So, here we are; no trickery using software nor the use of any super glue.
Enjoy what’s left of this weekend.
Sometimes all you need is a bit of water and dirt. This little guy didn't seem interested in the historic buildings or stories at Westfield Heritage Village. He had a mud puddle all to himself.
I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But i think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things i do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But i promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things i do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments i kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Introduction
Almighty God's Word "You Should Know That the Practical God Is God Himself"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/practical-god-is-god-hims...
Almighty God says, "God’s appearance in the flesh means that all of the work and words of the Spirit of God are done through His normal humanity, and through His incarnate flesh. In other words, God’s Spirit both directs His human work and carries out the work of divinity in the flesh, and in God incarnate you can see both God’s work in humanity and completely divine work; this is the real significance of the practical God’s appearance in the flesh. If you can see this clearly, you will be able to connect all of the different parts of God, and will cease to place too much of a premium on His work in divinity, and to be too dismissive of His work in humanity, and you will not go to extremes, nor take any detours. Overall, the meaning of the practical God is that the work of His humanity and of His divinity, as directed by the Spirit, is expressed through His flesh, so that people can see that He is vivid and lifelike, and real and actual."

Song of Solomon 6:2: “My love is gone down into his garden, unto the sweet smelling beds, that he may refresh himself in the garden, and gather flowers.”
"A man who took great pride in his lawn found himself with a large crop of dandelions. He tried every method he knew to get rid of them. Still they plagued him. Finally he wrote the department of agriculture. He enumerated all the things he had tried and closed his letter with the question: "What shall I do now?" In due course the reply came: "We suggest you learn to love them."

“I often think, what if one were to begin life over again, knowing what one is about! If one life, which has been already lived, were only a rough sketch so to speak, and the second were the fair copy! Then, I fancy, every one of us would feel compelled not to repeat himself, at the very least to rearrange his manner of life.”
-- Anton Chekhov, The Three Sisters
