In my infinite wisdom (and the stupidity that comes with heat-waves) I did not download my camera for two days, and forgetting this, wiped the memory card this afternoon. Soooooooo, yeah. That happened. There was nothing particularly good on there, but still.

La basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme venne costruita sulle rovine di una villa imperiale iniziata da Settimio Severo e terminata da Eliogabalo nel III secolo.
La villa venne privata di alcune sue parti dalla costruzione delle mura aureliane nel 272 d.C.. All'inizio del IV secolo il palazzo fu scelto come residenza da Elena, madre di Costantino, con il nome di Palazzo Sessoriano. Fu dietro sua iniziativa che venne trasformata in basilica cristiana la grande aula rettangolare, originariamente coperta da un soffitto piano, illuminata da venti finestre collocate cinque su ogni lato e con pregevole decorazione marmorea nel registro inferiore.
La facciata attuale, caratterizzata da una alternanza dai volumi concavi e convessi, risale al Settecento, così come l'atrio ellettico, facenti parte della grande stagione della Roma barocca.
Ring tailed lemurs shot in London Zoo's "In with the lemurs" which allows you to walk through the lemur enclosure to get a close up look at these beautiful animals.
In mid-July, my husband's veggie garden is still in pretty good shape. Later on, the weeds will get the upper hand [and I will be laboring in gardens of my own]. Squash and potatoes have their own garden, since they take up so much space.
I see his dreams coming true.

This is a copy of an original bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. The original was created in George Washington’s home.
The colored rectangles on our national hero, our Republic's Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, our number one founding father, are my two cents of comment.

Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848
Anton Ziegler
1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around, uh
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home

Stary Cmentarz w Łodzi - the Old Cemetery in Łódź
With the growing number of textile plants in Lodz in the 19th century, accompanied by rapid growth of the city and the number of its inhabitants, the city authorities were forced to open a new cemetery in 1856. The old Christian necropolis around the wooden St. Joseph church between Ogrodowa, Zachodnia, Legionów and Gdańska Streets could no longer accommodate new graves. The site of the new cemetery was a large plot of land in the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the opposite side of Ogrodowa Street and extending to the West towards the Mania settlement. It consisted of three parts, each for a different Christian denomination: Catholic, Evangelical-Augsburg and Orthodox. The latter separated the east Catholic part from the west Evangelical section of the cemetery. Currently, the necropolis is one of the most frequented places in Lodz, not only for sentimental reasons but also due to its historical and artistic value. The Old Cemetery in Lodz, as it is popularly called by the inhabitants of the "City by the Boat" (Lodz is the Polish word for boat), often compared to the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw, is a real treasure of sepulchral monuments.
Among hundreds of tombs and gravestones, particularly beautiful are those from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and from the first two decades of the 20th century, such as the excellently renovated grave of Zofia Biedermann or the tomb of the Grobman family or of Henryk Feder. Among other precious tombs, of particular interest are the tomb chapels of Juliusz Heinzl and Juliusz Kuntzer and the pyramide-shaped tomb of the Heiman-Jarecki family, heroes of the Polish-Soviet war, or the Neo-Byzantine chapel of the Gojrzewski family in the Orthodox part of the cemetery. A true masterpiece and the most popular monument of the Old Cemetery is the Karl Scheibler's Neo-Gothic chapel-mausoleum considered to be the most beautiful product of the Polish Neo-Gothic. It has been gradually renovated for a number of years now, mainly using funds raised by the Foundation for Rescuing Karl Scheibler's Chapel. On 1st November each year, the Old Cemetery Preservation Society raises funds for renovating the monuments of the necropolis.
Most years the peak of the elk rut coincides with the peak of fall color. This year the aspens above 8,000 were mostly adorned in gold. With limited time in the mountains, photographing rutting elk was definitely our priority. For most of the trip we experienced bluebird skies - perfect weather for most vacationers, but less than ideal for landscape photography. Our mornings and evenings were occupied by antler subjects, meaning that the time we did have to explore was mostly limited to harsh light.
For the first two and a half days we simply admired the color, grabbing a few cell phone images for memory's sake. On our last afternoon, however, a cloud bank rolled in over the mountains, bathing the land in overcast light. I took advantage of the situation, as we passed through a beautiful stand of mature aspens. Here their golden foliage and white bark contrasts with a cloudy sky and distant mountainsides where they mingle with the deep greens of pine, spruce, and fir.
