...or a frog...this is where I would choose to live.

 

[Larger provides a more thorough view of the listing...]

Ponte Sant'Angelo, originally the Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius, is a Roman bridge in Rome, Italy, completed in 134 AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian (Publius Aelius Hadrianus), to span the Tiber from the city centre to his newly constructed mausoleum, now the towering Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge is faced with travertine marble and spans the Tiber with five arches, three of which are Roman; it was approached by means of a ramp from the river. The bridge is now solely pedestrian and provides a scenic view of Castel Sant'Angelo.

 

In 1535, Pope Clement VII allocated the toll income of the bridge to erecting the statues of the apostles Saint Peter (holding a book, with the pedestal inscription Rione XIV) by Lorenzetto, and Saint Paul (holding a broken sword and a book, with the pedestal inscription Borgo) by Paolo Romano to which subsequently the four evangelists and the patriarchs were added to other statues representing Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. For centuries after the 16th century, the bridge was used to expose the bodies of those executed in the nearby Piazza di Ponte, at the left bridge head. In 1669 Pope Clement IX commissioned replacements for the aging stucco angels by Raffaello da Montelupo, commissioned by Paul III. Bernini's program, one of his last large projects, called for ten angels holding instruments of the Passion: he personally only finished the two originals of the Angel with the Superscription "I.N.R.I." and the Angel with the Crown of Thorns, but these were kept by Clement IX for his own pleasure. They are now in the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte, also in Rome.

I wish you were here!

Sooner or Later we must all say goodbye.

A typical winter morning in the Western Cape, South Africa.

How cool is this. A restaurant that has fresh Crab or Shark. I didn't realize people ask for fresh Shark that much. Seems like they must or maybe it's just a specialty of the house.

Saw my old college room mate the other day. He was somewhat younger than I because I went into the military before college. I started talking to him and he looked at me and said, Jim is that you....So, I decided I'm never going out again

They are talking about going to tier 5 here, whatever that is. The only place I go is to the bathroom and the grocery store. Don't know how I can stop either one of those events.

 

Since 2 years now I moved away from Adobe Ransonware, I am wondering if I should go back. Sometime I feel On1 is not rendering image like LR/PS was doing. For now I save 16$ a month for 2 years. May be I should do a trial an see where LR/PS are now, I still can use ON1 as a addon.

 

Not sure if LR has now the luminosity mask like ON1.

...or is it Dr. Who is visiting Brooklyn????

Snow looks like sugar, but its taste is completely different ;-))

Have a lovely Sunday ahead ;-))

... or geraniums as many of us call them. This was a hanging basket of mine ... I like the light and shadows in this photo. I'm not sure what the tiny bug is. I'm having a problem with one of my eyes that I had a cataract op on a few years ago, very blurry. I hope the photo is clear enough.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Thank you for your visits and comments dear friends:-) xx

A good friend used to call male rose-breasted grosbeaks either Felix or Oscar (after the Odd Couple characters), depending on whether its "bib" looked neat or messy. This guy's bib looks pretty neat to me, except for the dribble at the bottom. What do you say?

Avant l'Automne ...

Each intersection or encounter will become easier....

Right choices support a fairly good and balanced life

Wrong choices bring much troubles and strife.

 

There will be bumps and crossroads on the way.....

Life will flow in harmony when you make the right start

but you will face them with a strong mind and a fierce heart.

 

 

Soon making time for more sim visits

but for now this was the place to go

Or is that 'the links that chain us?':)

Don´t fall into a black hole in this terrible times.

We can express our feelings regarding the world around us either by poetic or by descriptive means. I prefer to express myself metaphorically. Let me stress: metaphorically, not symbolically. A symbol contains within itself a definite meaning, certain intellectual formula, while metaphor is an image. An image possessing the same distinguishing features as the world it represents. An image — as opposed to a symbol — is indefinite in meaning. One cannot speak of the infinite world by applying tools that are definite and finite. We can analyse the formula that constitutes a symbol, while metaphor is a being-within-itself, it's a monomial. It falls apart at any attempt of touching it.
