Lazio is a central Italian region bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its principal city, Rome, is Italy’s capital and was at the heart of the ancient Roman Empire. Its iconic ruins include the Coliseum, an amphitheater that seated thousands. On the coast, the ancient port of Ostia still retains detailed mosaics and a theater. Inland are the forested Apennine Mountains, with nature reserves, lakes and stone-built villages.

The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

Not my best angle, but I plan to come back and catch a shot of this iconic sign from the ground up. This was shot on the hills of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. This took place during the time of the Malibu fires which is an hour and some change from L.A.. We had planned to visit Malibu, but the fires prevented that.
One thing about L.A., lots of smog. It's almost inevitable to escape it. It's still beautiful regardless.
My final take of the Apache Railway as the turn from Holbrook heads home to Snowflake with covered hoppers and tanks from BNSF. Now time for the eight-and-a-half hour drive to L.A.

La maison en dessous de l'image est le musée Guido Gezelle, poète flamand du 19ème siècle, fait partie des figures majeures de la littérature belge. Étudiant au grand séminaire de Bruges, il est ordonné prêtre et enseigne aux étudiants. Le flamand n’est pas une langue considérée comme noble et pourtant le jeune professeur commence à écrire ses premiers vers en néerlandais. Pour avoir défendu les plus faibles, ses supérieurs lui imposent une des paroisses les plus pauvres de la région. Il retourne finalement à Bruges en 1889 ou il y reste jusqu’à sa mort dix années plus tard.
Reconnu de son vivant pour la qualité de ses poésie, Guido Gezelle a cumulé les honneurs à partir de 1886. En 2012, la ville de Bruges l’a déclaré plus grand héros de Bruges et sa maison natale est transformée en musée depuis 1926.
Le musée Guido Gezelle (Gezellemuseum), situé à l’Est de la ville non loin d’un moulin au sein d’un quartier populaire et tranquille est complété d’un jardin romantique ou on imagine très bien le poète travaillant à l’ombre des grands arbres. La maison qui accueille le musée est une batisse rustique et fonctionnelle du 16ème siècle. Le père du poète y travaillait comme jardinier pour le compte d’un important commerçant de la ville. Guido y a donc vécu de nombreuses années et la nature, thème cher à ses écrits a certainement été inspiré par le jardin attenant.
The house below the image is the museum Guido Gezelle, Flemish poet of the 19th century, is one of the major figures of Belgian literature. A student at the major seminary in Bruges, he was ordained a priest and taught students. Flemish is not a language considered noble and yet the young teacher begins to write his first verses in Dutch. For having defended the weakest, his superiors imposed on him one of the poorest parishes in the region. He finally returned to Bruges in 1889 where he remained until his death ten years later.
Recognized during his lifetime for the quality of his poetry, Guido Gezelle accumulated honors from 1886. In 2012, the city of Bruges declared him the greatest hero of Bruges and his birthplace has been transformed into a museum since 1926.
The Guido Gezelle Museum (Gezellemuseum), located to the east of the city not far from a mill in a popular and quiet area, is complemented by a romantic garden where you can easily imagine the poet working in the shade. tall trees. The house that hosts the museum is a rustic and functional building from the 16th century. The poet's father worked there as a gardener for an important merchant in the city. Guido therefore lived there for many years and nature, a theme dear to his writings, was certainly inspired by the adjoining garden.
