Split Rock Lighthouse is a part of the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park in Minnesota along the North Shore of Lake Superior. The lighthouse operated from 1910 to 1969 as a means of protecting ships traveling to the Port of Duluth. It sits high above jagged rocks below and is a popular camping, hiking, and sightseeing spot in the summer.

Another visit to Split (I’m sure that is not the last one). Split is the largest Dalmatian city, the second-largest urban centre in Croatia, situated on the shores of the Mediterranean also one of the oldest cities in the area just over 1,700 years old, The location chosen by the great reformer of the late Roman Empire the Roman Emperor Diocletian for retirement.

Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.
I used Lightroom's split toning feature to add blue to the darker tones - here's some tutorials on Split toning with Lightroom.

When the weather turns cool I slip into "Soup Mode." This luscious, thick, smoky soup was to easy to make using a ham bone and pea soup mix from Honey Baked Ham Co.
