UNESCO World Heritage Site (1996)
È probabilmente il centro più rinomato e di maggiore importanza artistica di tutta la Val d'Orcia.Il centro storico è stato dichiarato dall'UNESCO patrimonio dell'umanità nel 1996.
La città fino al 1462 altro non era che un piccolo borgo di nome Corsignano. L'evento che ne cambiò le sorti fu la nascita nel 1405 di Enea Silvio Piccolomini che 53 anni dopo divenne Papa Pio II. Proprio un viaggio del pontefice verso Mantova lo portò ad attraversare il luogo di nascita e il degrado che trovò lo portò a decidere la costruzione sopra l'antico borgo, affidandone il progetto all'architetto Bernardo Rossellino: costruzione che durò circa quattro anni e portò alla luce una cittadina armoniosa e con forme tipicamente quattrocentesche. La morte prematura di papa Pio II chiuse anche la storia della nuova città, che da allora ha subito limitate modifiche.
Pienza, a town and comune in the province of Siena, in the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany (central Italy), between the towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino, is the "touchstone of Renaissance urbanism."
In 1996, UNESCO declared the town a World Heritage Site, and in 2004 the entire valley, the Val d'Orcia, was included on the list of UNESCO's World Cultural Landscapes.
Pienza was rebuilt from a village called Corsignano, which was the birthplace (1405) of Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (Italian: Enea Silvio Piccolomini), a Renaissance humanist born into an exiled Sienese family, who later became Pope Pius II. Once he became Pope, Piccolomini had the entire village rebuilt as an ideal Renaissance town. Intended as a retreat from Rome, it represents the first application of humanist urban planning concepts, creating an impetus for planning that was adopted in other Italian towns and cities and eventually spread to other European centers.

Peaceful old age is when you are healthy and have some hobby like this old man. Everyday mending bit of his little farm gives him immense peace of mind.
Given I'm more of a run and gun photographer (don't have the patience) - I did give myself a few moments to properly plan this composition - looking at foreground, midground, background - with an implied movement of objects from the rocks, to the building, to the lighthouse in the background.
O Mundo Ideal
O mundo que se mostra
Vem de tantas formas
Perguntas sem respostas
A vida se transforma
Cada vez mais.
O belo e o feio
O fraco e o forte
Coragem ou receio,
Destino ou mera sorte,
A dúvida nos traz
A fome e a fartura
Espírito e matéria,
É prazer ou é tortura
Buscar riqueza e ver miséria,
A esperança se desfaz
O sonho que me leva na pressa da cidade
Busco a luz ou cedo à treva
O que é a tal Verdade?
Já não sei o que é demais
Mas levanto meu olhar
Olho à minha volta
Alguém vem me falar
De um mundo sem revolta
Com mãos especiais
E sinto nos meus passos
Que tenho as respostas
Deus,
Que vem e abre as portas
E já me sinto em paz
Agora eu sou feliz
Além do bem e mal
Porque Deus é que me diz:
Que mundo ideal, é você quem faz!!!

This is not the shot I had planned, but the sun was a little lower and the trees behind me a bit taller than ideal. GBRF driver John Waddington (Waddo rail) driving.
Ideal Tammy Doll. I bought this doll 7 years ago at a thrift store for $5 in Tennessee (I had put her away in storage quickly after and I recently rediscovered her) and I got around to restoring her yesterday. I definitely would love to have a few more in my collection including her foreign counterparts like Sindy and Susi.
Nothing more ideal than a homemade pancake breakfast with 100% real maple syrup and fresh blueberries! An ideal way to start the day in my opinion!
The Ideal City of the US was painted by American artist Matt Mullican, whose work has often dealt with the interaction between public sign systems and personal symbols.

In Lyon the walls tell stories, mostly very tall tales. While painting on walls is as old as time, the city has taken the art of modern urban wall painting to new heights with nearly 60 outdoor murals. Some are breathtaking flights of fancy; others are marvelous examples of trompe l'oeil, depictions of everyday life so realistic you could almost walk into them.
The murals produced by CitéCréation were designed not just as decoration but to help the people of Lyon rediscover their local identity, to trace the history of a particular quartier, or district, and to make art accessible to everyone. One of the best examples is the Musée Urbain Tony Garnier. The outdoor "museum" comprises 30 huge murals, painted on the buildings of an HLM (Habitation à Loyer Modéré) a low-rent housing project in the Etats-Unis district of Lyon.
The apartment buildings were originally designed by French architect Tony Garnier between 1920 and 1933, part of his dream of a modern, industrial urban utopia. But by the 1980s the district was in trouble, and drugs and violence were rife. In a bid to rehabilitate the area, the residents contacted CitéCréation, and work on the murals began soon after. It was a major success. "It completely transformed the quartier," says Bensaïd. "You can stop anyone on the street there and the response will be unanimous. It has given something back to the residents—pride—a word that can be both terrible and very beautiful. When we give pride to a space, a space which didn't exist for the rest of the town before, for the media, we feel we have succeeded." The surrounding district was renamed Cité Tony Garnier.
A dozen or so of the Musée Urbain murals—each some 2,500 square feet—are gigantic views of an industrial city rich with collective housing, schools, factories and clinics. A few of the murals show some of Garnier's other architectural contributions to Lyon, including the Abattoirs de la Mouche, a huge covered meat market with a ceiling of intricate metal arches. And eight of them show conceptions of the ideal city by eight artists, each from a different country: India, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Russia, Mexico, China, Canada and the United States.
