Aphrodisias lies in southwestern Turkey, in the fertile valley of the Dandalas River, a tributary of the Meander, about 150 kilometres east (inland) of the Aegean Sea. It is situated at the base of the Babadag mountain range, at 500 m above sea level. The city was the capital of the ancient Roman province of Caria.
The ancient city of Aphrodisias is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Greek and Roman periods in Turkey. Famous in antiquity for its sanctuary of Aphrodite, the city's patron goddess, Aphrodisias enjoyed a long and prosperous existence from the second century B.C. through the sixth century A.D. Today, many of the city's ancient monuments remain standing, and excavations have unearthed numerous fine marble statues and other artifacts. The great beauty and extraordinary preservation of this site combine to bring the civic culture of the Greco-Roman world vividly to life.
Aphrodisias was founded on the site of an ancient local sanctuary in the second century B.C., according to the date of the earliest coins and inscriptions found in the site. In the late first century B.C., the city came under the personal protection of the Roman emperor Augustus, and a long period of growth and good fortune ensued. The first several centuries A.D. were especially prosperous, and most of the surviving buildings of the city date to this period. In the fourth century, Aphrodisias became the capital of the Roman province of Caria. The cosmopolitan character of the age is demonstrated by the presence in this city of an active Jewish community, attested in a famous inscription listing benefactors of the local Synagogue.
The first systematic excavations at the site were begun in 1961 under the aegis of New York University, and yielded many remains of the city's central monuments. In addition to the Temple of Aphrodite, major areas of investigation included the Bouleuterion or Council House, and the Sebasteion. The Sebasteion, a religious sanctuary dedicated to Aphrodite and the Roman emperors, is one of the most remarkable discoveries of Roman archaeology. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Roman imperial cult complex, and is decorated with an extraordinary series of life-size marble reliefs (originally almost 200), which depict Roman emperors and imperial family members from ca. A.D. 20 to 60, as well as, personifications of the subject peoples of the Roman empire, and mythological heroes and gods. The reliefs provide an unparalleled insight into how Roman imperial power was understood from a local perspective. Other important public buildings are the Theatre, the Hadrianic Baths, and the Stadium; the latter seated 30,000 people, and is the best-preserved of all ancient stadiums. The buildings of the site are remarkable not only for the preservation of their architecture, but also for the many inscriptions, statues, reliefs, and other objects associated with them.
Aphrodisias is well-known for its fine sculpture. Good marble quarries are located only a few kilometres away from the city, and by the Late Hellenistic period, a strong local tradition of marble sculpture had already taken root. In later generations, Aphrodisian sculptors are known to have worked abroad on prestigious commissions, for example, at Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. The sculpture from the site is characterized by virtuosity and variety. Excavation has uncovered statues of, for example, gods, heroes, emperors, orators, philosophers, and boxers, as well as a great range of ornamental and figured relief. The finds range from grave reliefs of the second century B.C. to statues of the last Roman governors of the sixth century A.D. Many sculptures from the site already occupy key positions in the history of ancient art.
The studies for a site management plan were started according to a protocol between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Geyre Foundation dated to 08.11.2007.

The Horace Mann Historic District qualifies for placement on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A, for its community planning and development, fitting within the guidelines put forward in the National Register Multiple Property Listing Historic Residential Suburbs in the U.S., 1830-1960. The district is the first Gary Land Company (the land holding subsidiary of the property owner the U .S. Steel Corporation) addition to the city to be platted and laid out with consideration given to the automobile . The district is a significant example of the type of planned expansion of the city executed by the Gary Land Company. The district also qualifies under Criterion C for its architecture. The district has many fine examples of architectural styles popular between the two World Wars. Several of these homes represent the work of locally and nationally renowned master architects; Louis C . Hess of Hammond, L. Harry Warriner of Gary, Rissman and Hirschfeld of Chicago, J . Ivan Dise and Amedo Leone of Detroit. Many of the houses within the district were constructed by local builders using architect designed house plans made available through mail order catalogs and services such as the Architects Small House Service Bureau. The majority of the district's houses are constructed using styles that reflected the English influence, i.e .: Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and their smaller cousins the Colonial Revival Cottage and the English Cottage . The district has remained one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Gary since first built. The houses and the landscaping of the present district are highly reflective of the appearance of the neighborhood during its era of significance.

"Grade II Listed workshop, constructed circa 1800"
"Electric trams ran from 1902, with the No 1 route between Clarence Road, along Corporation Road, Clare Road and across the junction here into Lower Cathedral Road and Berthwern Street. From 1904, a service also ran between Clive Street and Splott via Penarth Road and Custom House Street. There was also a tram depot just under the bridge from here in Pendyris Street which in the 1920s housed 23 cars. It was a trolley bus depot from 1942 and stopped being a depot altogether in 1953. It still stands as a listed building and is a council vehicle maintenance garage - there was a short-lived plan to convert it into a modern gallery and arts space, but Cardiff failed in a bid to become European City of Culture in 2008. . . .

Picardy Place Historic District is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance under Criterion A for community development and Criterion C for architecture. The neighborhood is a well-defined example of a Post-World War II residential development in Memphis, Shelby mid-century modern Minimal Traditional Style with Colonial Revival details. The dwellings constructed within the neighborhood are excellent examples of Minimal Traditional housing erected during this period with modest exterior stylistic elements which was a common trend for this type of residential architecture.4 Interesting to this particular neighborhood is the limited number of design/plans that the property owners could choose from for their new homes. They each selected a set plan then added their own stylistic elements, if any, as well as later additional bays or modifications to the structures.5 The Picardy Place subdivision, established in its current state in 1945, showcases the architecture of a struggling America trying to recover from the cultural and economic turmoil of the Great Depression and World War II. Occupied by twenty-three small houses similar in style, this subdivision is a testament to the architectural and economic trends of the 1940s. Additionally, the Picardy Place Historic District retains integrity of design, feeling, location, setting, and materials and meets the registration requirements as outlined in the Historic Residential Resources of Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee Multiple Property Submission.

As I travel, I always think about what items I could leave behind next time.
The less I carry, the better time I have. More or less.
This trip, 4 weeks in China, I had a small-ish carry-on size backpack and, the above items, along with a fleece and a rainjacket. That was pretty much it for clothes.
And - it was plenty.

The books I'm currently reading. I'm really only reading the Milan Kundera book, but I have these others on deck in case I need a diversion from the heavy philosiphy and odd perspective of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". Don't get me wrong, it's a good read, but I think a lot was lost in translation from Czech.
In case you can't read it, the top one is "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. (It's hilarious.)

A modest early book list catalogue for the Ian Allan publishing company issued in 1947 just five years after the publication of the first venture; the ABC of Southern Locomotives published in 1942. Ian Allan (1922 - 2015) worked in the Public Relations Office of the Southern but the ABC list of the company's locomotives was effectively a private venture. Despite wartime conditions similar booklets for the other main line railways and London Transport followed proving highly popular with enthusiasts at a time when "loco-spotting" was very popular pastime.
Originally Ian Allan kept his job with the Southern and published the booklets from his home address in Staines. By 1945 he felt confident enough to quit the railway and set up his own company at the address shown here in Vauxhall Bridge Road, London. For 1947 the book list shows signs of Ian Allan branching out; the first road title appears, this being an ABC of Midland Red, the Birmingham based BMMO who sanctioned publication. Over time Ian Allan Publishing became the UK's most prolific transport publisher whose stable also included major railway magazine. The Ian Allan Group quit publishing in 2016.
More in an ongoing series of discarded shopping lists, found while I'm out and about.
I love ones like these, that tell a story - or better still, many possible stories... just don't forget the beer and paracetamol!

The Grade II* Listed Church of St Michael, Hackthorn, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
Situated among the trees of Hackthorn park, overlooking the lake, is the parish church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. A village church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although original church was rebuilt in 1849 by a Mr. Mainwaring as a Victorian gothic building. It contains carved woodwork in the reredos screen and gallery, and an 1869 Nicholson Organ, fully restored in 2006.
Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Eastern Washington. The dam was one of the largest structures ever built by man. It was completed in 1941 and is the largest concrete structure and hydroelectric facility in the United States. The dam was accepted by the Bureau of Reclamation on January 1, 1942.
The Grand Coulee Dam was listed by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) as one of the seven civil engineering wonders of the United States in 1955. It was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by ASCE in 1998. The ASCE description of the landmark states that “The massive Grand Coulee Dam, on the Columbia River, is the largest concrete structure in the U.S., the largest hydroelectric facility in the U.S., and the sixth-largest hydroelectric facility in the world. It provides irrigation for up to 1.1 million acres of agricultural lands and the hydroelectric complex maintains a generating capacity of 6.8 million kilowatts. It also serves as the primary flood control for the Columbia River basin (with a capacity of 5.18 million acre-feet of water) and provides recreational opportunities on the 150-mile-long Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. It is the uppermost of 11 dams that comprise the Columbia River Basin Project. Grand Coulee Dam was critical to the war efforts during World War II, generating abundant electrical power that was crucial for aluminum production for war machinery.”
The Third Powerhouse was named as an “Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement in the Pacific Northwest” by the Pacific Northwest Council and the Inland Empire Section of ASCE in 1982. The Third Powerplant also received a “Civil Engineering Achievement of Merit” in 1983 from ASCE.

Headlamp was really useful.
The compass did come in handy.
I didn't use the notebook much, should of been smaller.
