Via del Foro Piscario is a street in the Rione Sant'Angelo that crosses the archaeological area of āāthe Teatro di Marcello. The name Foro Piscario belonged to the place where the fish market took place for centuries.
A scene from Alberto Sordi's famous film An American in Rome was filmed on this street.
In my hometown there is an old Hotel which was used as a hospital(Lazarett) during the 2nd World War. ..... Lately ,at a visit, I noticed this old sign at the wall....ItĀ“s the sign of the "Red Cross", if you can imagine!!!?? Times and weather have washed the white colour......Tiles have been replaced ....History!!!!Today " Johannes Itten " would have been enthusiastic about the colours:-)))).. IĀ“m really flashed , anyway<3
Dry Falls-Grant County-Washington State
Dry Falls is a geological wonder of North America. Carved by Ice Age floods more than 13,000 years ago, the former waterfall was once four times the size of Niagara Falls.
We used today to dive into the history of the Danish West Coast visiting the Tirpitz Museum in Blavand as well as the open air museum of Nymindegab. I can highly recommend both locations for people who love to learn more about the life of our ancestors in previous centuries. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark

Castle Westhove. The castle dates from the 13th century.
The castle was in a charter of 1277 of Count Floris V mentioned as being the property of the abbey in Middelburg, but it is not clear how old the castle was then.
Here you see the left side. I just love this place!

Zaanse Schans Windmills
What comes around goes around. Isn't it fascinating that one of the main sources of the modern movement of "green energy" is the wind turbine? Humanity has been using windmills through recorded history in order to generate energy (in physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement) all the way back to the 9th Century. Windmills as a major source of energy reached their zenith around 1850, but rapidly became obsolete with the advent of steam power. But now we have circled back again, with vast fields of new wind turbines producing "work" for our energy consumption.
Here at Zaanse Schans are these wonderful examples of how history does indeed repeat itself. These windmills, dating from 1574 onwards, but transplanted from around the Netherlands to Zaanse Schans starting in the 1950s, form a living history museum and still produce energy to accomplish industry: From the left, Het Jonge Schaap is a working sawmill, De Zoeker produces oil from peanuts through crushing, De Kat is the world's only working windmill to produce paints and pigments, and in the foreground is De Gekroonde Poelenburg, another sawmill.
A visit to the Netherlands is not complete unless you can make it to one of their many windmill sites (there are over 1000 still present in the country).

Following Germany's surrender and the end of the war, the governments of East Berlin and West Berlin restored it in a joint effort. The holes were patched, but were visible for many years following the war.
Vehicles and pedestrians could travel freely through the gate, located in East Berlin, until the Berlin Wall was built, 13 August 1961. Brandenburg Gate border crossing was later closed on 14 August 1961. West Berliners gathered on the western side of the gate to demonstrate against the Berlin Wall, among them West Berlin's governing Mayor Willy Brandt, who had spontaneously returned from a federal election campaigning tour in West Germany earlier on the same day. It was closed throughout the Berlin Wall period until 22 December 1989.
