Headlights from early morning traffic stream through the frame along Ohio Drive as the sun rises and reflects the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument of the National Mall into the Potomac River. The arched stone bridge at frame right is the Arlington Memorial Bridge, originally constructed in 1932. Connecting the Lincoln Memorial with the Arlington House (General Robert E. Lee's historical home), the Arlington Memorial Bridge was intentionally designed and located to be representative of the unification between the North and the South following the Civil War.
As of 2015 the bridge has been facing a number of problems, with lane closures and newly dictated weight limits the result of multiple inspections finding badly corroded steel within portions of the structure. The repairs will take hundreds of millions and span the course of several years.

The Whirling Rainbow – Prophecy
There will come a day when people of all races, colors, and creeds will put aside their differences. They will come together in love, joining hands in unification, to heal the Earth and all Her children. They will move over the Earth like a great Whirling Rainbow, bringing peace, understanding and healing everywhere they go. Many creatures thought to be extinct or mythical will resurface at this time; the great trees that perished will return almost overnight. All living things will flourish, drawing sustenance from the breast of our Mother, the Earth.
The great spiritual Teachers who walked the Earth and taught the basics of the truths of the Whirling Rainbow Prophecy will return and walk amongst us once more, sharing their power and understanding with all. We will learn how to see and hear in a sacred manner. Men and women will be equals in the way Creator intended them to be; all children will be safe anywhere they want to go. Elders will be respected and valued for their contributions to life. Their wisdom will be sought out. The whole Human race will be called The People and there will be no more war, sickness or hunger forever.

4/12 Hidden Treasure
Before the unification of the Netherlands, Oudewater (or Old Water) was situated right on the border of historic Holland and Utrecht. The origins of the town and its name are largely unknown, but records show that the town gained city rights in 1265, given by the bishop of Utrecht, Hendrik van Vianden. Its location on the confluence of the Linschoten river and the Hollandse IJssel allowed Oudewater to develop as an important industrial center in the 16th and 17th century, with the production of rope being the main economic activity.
Haraldshaugen is a national monument in Haugesund, Norway. The monument was erected during the millennial celebration of Norway's unification into one kingdom under the rule of King Harald I of Norway (Norwegian: Harald Hårfagre).
Haraldshaugen commemorates the Battle of Hafrsfjord which commonly dates to the year 872. The Battle of Hafrsfjord has traditionally been regarded as the point in which western Norway was for the first time unified under one monarch. Haraldshaugen has been stated to be the burial site of King Harald I, who died circa 933 at Avaldsnes on nearby Karmøy, south of Haugesund.
Haraldshaugen was unveiled on July 18, 1872 by Crown Prince Oscar (later King Oscar II of Sweden) in connection with the one thousand year anniversary of the Battle of Hafrsfjord. The monument is designed by Norwegian architect Christian Christie. Norwegian national poet, Ivar Aasen, wrote a poem entitled Haraldshaugen to commemorate the event.
Haraldshaugen is located in the northern suburbs of Haugesund. The monument consists of a large mound surrounded by a granite memorial stones with 29 smaller stones, one from each of the historic counties of Norway. At the top of the mound stands a 17m high granite main obelisk, with four bronze panels around the base. Each panel depicts important scenes from the life of King Harald I.
The Turbulent History of Osaka Castle.In 1496 a high-ranking monk of the Joudoshinshu sect. had a monastic residence buit near the site of presente-day Osaka Castle.This eventually grew into a large temple Known as Ishiyama [Osaka]Honganji.The temple bosted great power and influence until 1580 when it yielded to Nobunaga Oda during his campaing of national unification and was burned to the ground.
"In Rome we are and here we will stay." Vittorio Emanuele II.
In 1815 it would begin in Italy the long process of unification of the Transalpine country, known in Italian as "Il Risorgimento". At that time, what we now know as Italy, was a territory divided into numerous states, some of which were controlled by foreign powers such as the Austrian Empire. However, many Italians clung to the nationalist ideas of the time to develop a social and political movement that would lead to the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1871, when Rome finally became the capital of unified Italy.
To commemorate the figure of Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of that unified Italy, it was decided to build a monument in Rome reminiscent of the grandeur of the buildings of the ancient Roman Empire. The imposing structure, with its characteristic white marble, is located next to the Capitoline Hill and dominates one of the sides of the central Piazza Venezia. Despite having been criticized by part of the population of the city, receiving nicknames such as "typewriter" or "wedding cake", it is today one of the most famous monuments in Rome and its visit is interesting, as it houses the Museum of the Risorgimento and from its upper terrace there is a spectacular 360 degree view of the eternal city.
My favorite view of the monument is precisely from Piazza Venezia, adding the Italian flag of flowers and bush, and the lights of the intense Roman traffic. All this with the extra beauty of artificial lighting and the magical balance with the ambient light that is achieved at the blue hour.
------------------------------------------------
"En Roma estamos y aquí nos quedaremos." Vittorio Emanuele II.
En 1815 comenzaría en Italia el largo proceso de unificación del país transalpino, conocido en italiano como "Il Risorgimento". Por aquel entonces, lo que hoy conocemos como Italia, era un territorio dividido en numerosos estados, algunos de los cuales eran controlados por potencias extranjeras como el Imperio Austríaco. Sin embargo, muchísimos italianos se aferraron a las ideas nacionalistas de la época para desarrollar un movimiento social y político que desembocaría en la creación del Reino de Italia en 1871, cuando por fin Roma se convirtió en la capital de la Italia unificada.
Para conmemorar la figura de Vittorio Emanuele II, primer rey de aquella Italia unificada, se decidió construir en Roma un monumento que recordara a la grandeza de los edificios del antiguo Imperio Romano. La imponente estructura, con su característico mármol blanco, se sitúa junto a la Colina Capitolina y domina uno de los lados de la céntrica Piazza Venezia. A pesar de haber sufrido críticas por parte de la población de la ciudad, recibiendo apelativos como "máquina de escribir" o "tarta de bodas", es hoy uno de los monumentos más famosos de Roma y su visita es interesante, ya que alberga el Museo del Risorgimento y desde su terraza superior se tiene una espectacular vista de 360 grados sobre la ciudad eterna.
Mi vista favorita del monumento es precisamente desde la Piazza Venezia, añadiendo la bandera italiana de flores y arbusto, y las luces del intenso tráfico romano. Todo ello con la belleza extra de la iluminación artificial y el equilibrio mágico con la luz ambiente que se consigue a la hora azul.

Castello di Montalto Dora , Chiaverano (To), Piemonte, Italia
The Montalto Dora Castle gazed at centuries of history, from the Savoy to the Spanish, the French to the Germans, suffering numerous attacks by invaders, living the troubled Napoleonic period and savoring the long-awaited peace through the unification of Italy.
Its construction is attributed to the first half of the XII century , as evidenced by a document dated 1140, in which it is mentioned as “Castrum Montisalti”, belonging to the jurisdiction of Ivrea City’s Bishop.
The manor has been owned by multiple lineages.
In the XIV century it became part of the possessions of Savoy, who in 1403 sold it to De Jordanis of Bard family, who carried on with the construction.
Among the various attacks, we must remember the one that occurred during the siege of Ivrea in 1641, by the French troops of the Marquis d’ Harcourt, in the war against the Duchy of Savoy.
On that occasion the interior of the manor was dismantled, while external structures remained almost intact.
At the beginning of the XVIII century the castle passed to the Vallesa family, who owned it until the early XIX century, when the lineage ended.
It later belonged to the Count Severino of the Barons of Casana, who began to restore and enhance it.
In the early1900 an important study on the castle’s restoration was accomplished by Dr. Carlo Nigra, an engineer, together with the portoguese architect Alfredo d’Andrade, creator of the Turin “Borgo Medievale” (an accurate reconstruction of a medieval village in the city centre).
In 1963 the Castle became property of the Allioni of Brondello family. From 1965 to 1985 they proceeded to restore the buildings inside the walls, and to enhance the park.
The Niederwald monument (German: Niederwalddenkmal) is a monument located in the Niederwald, near Rüdesheim am Rhein in Hesse, Germany, built between 1871 and 1883 to commemorate the Unification of Germany.
Osaka Castle is a Japanese castle in Osaka, Japan. The castle is one of Japan's most famous landmarks. It played a major role in the unification of Japan during the sixteenth century of the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
The castle was built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It was in use from 1583 till 1868. It was destroyed in 1868 and restored in 1928. Again it was destroyed in 1945 and restored from 1995 till 1997.
The main tower of Osaka Castle is situated on a plot of land (roughly one square kilometer).
It is built on two raised platforms of landfill supported by sheer walls of cut rock, using a technique called Burdock piling, each overlooking a moat.
The central castle building is five stories on the outside and eight stories on the inside, and built atop a tall stone foundation to protect its occupants from attackers.
The castles grounds cover approximately 60,000 square meters (15 acres). It contain thirteen structures that have been designated as important cultural assets by the Japanese government.
The Unity quare (Piata Unirii) features a beautiful musical fountain.
В центре площади Единства (Пьяца Унирий) располагается большой и красивый музыкальный фонтан.
The Baroque palace was built in the XVII century for the Spanish viceroys and later served as the official royal residence of the newly independent Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Sometime after unification of Italy it became a public museum.
Этот барочный дворец строился в течение XVII века для испанских вице-королей а затем стал официальной резиденцией получившего независимость королевства Обеих Сицилий. Спустя время после объединения Италии дворец открылся для публики в качестве музея.
After he lost power in Germany’s unification under Prussian leadership, King Ludwig continued to pour money into Neuschwanstein, his fairy tale castle in the Bavarian Alps. Today the castle and trails in the mountains around it draw visitors from all over the world.
Palazzo Pretorio Arezzo. Today the seat of the Arezzo City Library, Palazzo Pretorio stands along Via dei Pileati.
The large building is the result of the unification of thirteenth-century buildings that belonged to the Arezzo Guelph families of Albergotti, Lodomeri and Sassoli. From 1290 Palazzo Albergotti was the seat of the Capitano di Justizia and for centuries housed various magistracies.

Singing the song of angry men

This is a scene of the Italian unification which lasted from 1815-1871. In the struggle to unite the Italian peninsula the Italians fought many enemies such as the Austrian empire (seen here) and the Papal states of the catholic church. The unification was pushed by Sardinia and nationalism spread throughout the peninsula. In 1861 after much success the kingdom of Italy was founded. Soon the Austrians would be pushed out. By 1870 they had captured the city of Rome from the Papal States which left the Pope infuriated. By 1871 the nation of Italy was born.
The scene here is from the Third War of Italian independence. Shows Italian militia forces fighting the Austrians.
The figure holding the flag is supposed to be a more Italian version of me and the figure in the dark green is Tobias.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, that hosts four Republican Roman temples, and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is located in the ancient Campus Martius.
The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, which takes its name from the city of Strasbourg, whose Latin name was Argentoratum. In 1503, the Papal Master of Ceremonies Johannes Burckardt, who came from Strasbourg and was known as "Argentinus", built in via del Sudario a palace (now at number 44), called Casa del Burcardo, to which the tower is annexed.
The other tower in the square is not the one giving the name to the place, but the Medieval Torre del Papito ("Little Pope's Tower"), attributed by tradition to Antipope Anacletus II Pierleoni, allegedly not a tall person.
After Italian unification, it was decided to reconstruct part of Rome (1909), demolishing the zone of Torre Argentina. However, during the demolition work in 1927, the colossal head and arms of a marble statue were discovered. The archeological investigation brought to light the presence of a holy area, dating to the Republican era, with four temples and part of Pompey's Theater.
Julius Caesar was killed in the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey, and the spot he was believed to be assassinated is in the square.
Great Union Day (Romanian: Ziua Marii Uniri) occurring on December 1, is the national holiday of Romania.
This holiday was set after the 1989 Romanian Revolution and it marks the unification of Transylvania, but also of the provinces of Bessarabia and Bukovina with the Romanian Kingdom, in 1918.

Not long after this photo was taken, an American man attacked two women, also Americans, a short distance from the spot where I took the shot. One woman died, the other was badly injured, and the man was captured. Strange how lightning can strike where least expected.

The Victory Column on the Big Star in the middle of the Great Tiergarten in Berlin was built in 1864 to 1873 as a National Monument to the Wars of Unification according to a design by Heinrich Strack. It is a building and is considered a landmark of Berlin.
The column carries a bronze sculpture created by Friedrich Drake in the form of a female figure, the Victoria. She holds in the right a laurel wreath in the air, in the left a field with the Iron Cross. Her helmet is decorated with eagle wings. Victoria is known in Roman mythology as the goddess of victory, it is to the Greek mythology of the Nike. Both are shown winged. Her eagle helmet also makes Victoria appear on the Victory Column as Borussia, the personification of Prussia.
Popularly called "Goldelse". To this designation she came because of her gilding.
============================
Die Siegessäule auf dem Großen Stern inmitten des Großen Tiergartens in Berlin wurde 1864 bis 1873 nach einem Entwurf von Heinrich Strack als Nationaldenkmal der Vereinigungskriege errichtet. Es ist ein Gebäude und gilt als Wahrzeichen von Berlin.
Die Säule trägt eine Bronzeskulptur von Friedrich Drake in Form einer weiblichen Figur, der Victoria. Sie hält in der Rechten einen Lorbeerkranz in der Luft, in der linken ein Schild mit dem Eisernen Kreuz. Ihr Helm ist mit Adlerflügeln verziert. Victoria ist in der römischen Mythologie als die Göttin des Sieges bekannt, es ist in der griechischen Mythologie der Nike. Beide sind geflügeltet gezeigt. Ihr Adlerhelm lässt Victoria auch als Borussia, die Verkörperung Preußens, auf der Siegessäule erscheinen.
Im Volksmund "Goldelse" genannt. Zu dieser Bezeichnung kam sie wegen ihrer Vergoldung.

Országház, Budapest, Hungary
After the unification of Budapest into a single city in 1873, the diet sought to establish a symbolic parliament building in order to celebrate the Hungarian nation. The result was the Országház, or the ‘House of the Nation’, which was eventually finished in 1904. Sadly, the architect, Imre Steindl, never got to see his work; he lost his sight before its construction. This photograph was taken on a clear spring morning in March 2024, from the opposite bank of the Danube - almost 8 years after my first visit.
