The Roman district of Garbatella was designed in 1920 by famous architects and intended for the working class of the time. The style is the "Roman late baroque", with sinuous shapes that give life to neo-medieval buildings.
the whole district, with the fountains, the buildings, the balconies, the villas, the stuccoes and the green spaces, recalls this concept of the Garden City and can be considered a large open-air monument as well as an example of humanistic architecture
in the truck bed of my brother's rusty old 72 Chevy... Four altogether. Originally used to create a hand welded picnic table frame that were donated to us from a friend in Andover, then sold to an antique store downtown Wichita, Kansas to raise money for our foster cats.

Shizandra is part border collie and Aussie shepherd, we think. There's that look again! I'm sure she's wondering "what is she doing now!"
Near a construction site for a new house. It's attached to a very large concrete block for access to an electricity mains point.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
EXPLORE: February 2, 2009
A beautiful Autumn day in Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado. I have hesitated to upload this photo because of the Bark Beetle damage to the Lodgepole Pines. However, I realize that this is a natural process. Maybe a little like a Harry Potter fantasy escape, but a classic example of our ecosystem at work. The natural beauty is still present, just packaged a little differently.
Best viewed on black.
Two amazing things happened tonight. There was a fantastic full lunar eclipse tonight, and there was clear weather in Wisconsin during a fantastic astronomical event! Amazing!
Well, I drove out to some dark fields in the -10°F (update: according to today's weather, record temperatures for the day of around -25°F were recorded that night... brr!!) weather to get these shots. After some time in the cold, my batteries' energy was completely sapped, so I jumped back into the truck and drove a bit further. The batteries re-warmed just in time to catch the moon moving into the umbral shadow. This is from a few minutes after total eclipse occurred.
I did have fantastic plans to merge a bunch of my images from different stages of eclipse, but the cold killing my batteries kind of ended that one. Maybe in 2010.
You know how after you dye your hair a certain color, a lot of that color comes out after your first wash? This was actually Katie's idea for this picture. She thought it was really creepy/awesome that the color of the water was this rusty red color.

Those familiar with the former glory of the South African Railways will be shocked, and saddened, by the state these once proud steam locomotives and other equipment are in.
A few years ago I could still visit this "cemetery", but the public is now prohibited from wandering around and you are limited to walking along a small gravel road from where you can take some photographs.

This barn is at Duisky on the edge of Loch Eil, Scotland. The barn and the dead tree had an ‘old world’ look that drew me to it. Heavy rain and dark skies on the day I photographed them made for a slightly forlorn image, but added atmosphere and emphasised the rusty red roof.

An old forgotten skip bin I captured in a street in the north of Sydney which had amazing patterns of rusty decay / decomposition. A rust abstract image.
Rust to me is a form of the natural process of aging metals which I think creates an art of it's own.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

Aloe helena is a tree aloe, endemic to southern Madagascar, where two or three subpopulations are known to occur in the Fort Dauphin region. This plant is well-known as an ornamental and can be seen growing in private and botanic gardens outside of Madagascar. The leaves of the plant are used locally on a small scale for medicinal purposes. Aloe helenae from southeastern Madagascar is currently listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red Data List.

It was so nice to see the sunshine early this morning. I love how it brings out the details and color of her coat!

I use my photos as inspiration for my paintings which can be seen at:
One of the showiest of the tall Aloes, Aloe vaombe (Malagasy Tree Aloe) is a large evergreen succulent perennial forming a beautiful solitary rosette of curved, long, shiny, dark rich green leaves. The fleshy leaves are adorned with white teeth and turn vibrant deep red in winter or with bright exposure. It can grow up to 8–12 ft. tall (240–360 cm) and 4–5 ft. wide (120–150 cm).
This is a fairly rare aloe often found in Isalo Park. Aloe imalotensis is native to southern central and southeastern Madagascar, where it grows on rocky ground around 2000 ft (600 m). As you can see, it tuns a lovely rusty red color when exposed to high heat and light. They grow slowly, so this one must be pretty old.

This wide-angle shot, looking just south of east, gives a partial sense of the huge scale of one of the great spectacles of Zion National Park in Utah.
The Temple is the massive amphitheatre that unofficially marks the beginning of the Virgin River canyon (behind my left shoulder in relation to the image above).
Sheer rusty-red and chocolate brown cliffs rise high into the sky, seemingly never-ending like some of the world's tallest skyscrapers. At my location in the car park I was at an altitude of 1,347m above sea level, whilst that peak at the top of the image tops out at 1,983m.
Picturesque waterfalls like the one in the centre of the image tumble gently into a deep pool below and extensive hanging gardens of lush green foliage and brightly coloured flowers hang from varied levels and crevices, making it seem almost too good to be true.
The light green-coloured Virgin River, which has carved this out, can be seen in the very lower right of the image between the signpost and, further left, a seated man.
Whilst the geology seems stable and everlasting, it is not! In 1995 a landslide involving an estimated 25,000 tonnes of rock occurred several miles further down the valley from here. It trapped the river, which rose 30 feet behind the temporary dam. 430 people were trapped for over 24 hours before a temporary road was created to let them out.
And yet that landslide came from the debris field of a much, much bigger landslide some 4,800 years ago. The debris from that landslide is estimated to have been 3,000m long, 1,000m wide and up to 200m deep! It blocked the valley for 700 years, creating an extensive lake that included the area seen above.
The park and many of its features have names based in Christianity, courtesy of a Methodist minister in 1916 (or a Mormon minister from some time earlier, depending on which story you prefer). But Sinawava was a beneficent wolf god of the Paiute Indians who looked upon the canyon with superstition - to them it was filled with spirits and gods, good and bad, and they seldom let darkness catch them still between the canyon walls. I can well understand where they were coming from!
