The shape of the book is still well defined. However 150 years of rain, wind and snow have scrubbed away virtually all traces of the inscription. A growing number of stones in these old cemeteries serve only as grave markers as there's no longer any visual reference as to the names of the deceased. Any direct descendants are dead. No one visits these graves or maintains them. And the stones are left to simply wither away. That's where I come in.

New York State Capitol ~ Albany New York ~ Governor's Reception Room Murals by Bill Badzo

102 59

Dutch verse the English.

The Dodge murals consist of 25 paintings on canvas that are attached to the plaster and four decorated areas that were painted directly onto the plaster—the bright blue sections with flags and stars. The murals depict the military history of New York and commemorate battles with the English, the Dutch, the French, the Iroquois, through to the Civil war and World War One. The artist used his daughter Sara as the model for the central figure: the spirit of New York and the Goddess of Harmony—a symbol of both war and peace

National Mosque by Iwate Itinerary by Paul

22 4

The National Mosque of Malaysia, also known as Masjid Negara, is well-regarded as the nationwide symbol of Islam. Located within the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, this blue-hued building houses a main prayer hall with 48 smaller domes, a 73-metre minaret and a 16-pointed star concrete main roof. Contemporary interpretations of traditional Islamic art and calligraphy, abstract shapes and geometric lattices are incorporated into its roofing and ironworks, while the walls of the Grand Hall are beautifully adorned with verses from the Koran.

Pip-Verse Aquaman by Pip (Philip)

So, this is the last of my Pip-verse Justice League.... Yup. Totally didn't make a Flash and forget to edit him...

(I'll get to it eventually... Maybe.)

Anywhoozlesworth, Aquaman. I didn't want to make him all manly and bearded and, ya' know, Thor-like. My goal was to make it look at least somewhat like his classic costume while being modern-looking as well.

So, story...

I'm thinking he's a marine biologist, 'cuz I don't know Aquaman's original origin. xP While exploring a sunken city he finds a golden trident. Upon pulling it out the city comes back to life and the residents declare him their king, 'cuz he fulfilled some sort of prophecy or whatever.

As far as powers, the trident lets him breath underwater, swim at high-speeds, attack fluently in the water and communicate with sea life.

Yeah, I like this one. I had a lot of fun coming up with the design and story.

In heaven a resting place to find

2 Corinthians 5:14-15, 17 NIV by NancySmith133

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again...

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come.

Arriving by ferry in Procida by Ben The Man

184 69

Procida is the smallest island of the Gulf of Naples; it is rich in attractions and archaeology. From the ground floor of Napoli Centro train station, you can take the metro to station Pozzuoli then get off and take the ferry at the port of Pozzuoli. The architecture of Procida has a Greek origin. In fact, the history of Procida is concentrated first of all on the medieval village “Terra Murata” and on “Corricella”, the fishing settlement. The island has served as the set for numerous films, such as The “Postman”, and some scenes in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” were shot on Corricella. The landmarks of Procida reflect typical Mediterranean pastel colours. Procida offers simply cooking and at least 10 excellent restaurants with plain cooking based on fresh fish. This simple style never fails, thanks to the 20 local fishing boats. The specialties of the cooking are: stewed rabbit (which goes back to the Borbonen who came on Procida to hunt the wild rabbit) and spaghetti with sea-urchin. Procida has 6 beaches with crystal-clear waters. Spent some relaxing days on this wonderful island. Experience the real Italy, lovely people, great views, great sand and great food.

The best way to get to procida is travelling to Pozzuoli first, beautiful as well as other districts of Naples, by train where you will find marina with ferries. Ferries from Pozzuoli to Ischia make a stopover in Procida. There are both fast and slow services. Photo of the harbour of Procida and the Former Prison on top of the hill.

Met de veerboot naar Procida passeren het schierieland Miseno met de prachtige vuurtoren. Capo Miseno kijkt uit over de mosselbanken bij het naderen van Porto Miseno. Procida is het kleinste eiland van de Golf van Napels; het is rijk aan attracties en archeologie. Vanaf de begane grond van treinstation Napoli Centro kunt u de metro naar station Pozzuoli nemen, uitstappen en de veerboot nemen in de haven van Pozzuoli. De architectuur van Procida heeft een Griekse oorsprong. In feite is de geschiedenis van Procida allereerst geconcentreerd op het middeleeuwse dorp "Terra Murata" en op "Corricella", de vissersnederzetting. Het eiland heeft gediend als decor voor tal van films, zoals The "Postman", en sommige scènes in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" zijn opgenomen op Corricella. De herkenningspunten van Procida weerspiegelen typische mediterrane pastelkleuren. Procida biedt eenvoudig koken en minstens 10 uitstekende restaurants met eenvoudig koken op basis van verse vis. Deze eenvoudige stijl faalt nooit dankzij de 20 lokale vissersboten. De specialiteiten van het koken zijn: gestoofd konijn (dat teruggaat op de Borbonen die op Procida kwamen om op het wilde konijn te jagen) en spaghetti met zee-egels. Procida heeft 6 stranden met kristalhelder water. Verblijf een paar ontspannen dagen op dit prachtige eiland. Ervaar het echte Italië, lieve mensen, geweldig uitzicht, heerlijk zand en heerlijk eten.

My verse by John Fowler

1.1K 153

O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;

Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish;

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d;

Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;

Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;

The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.

That you are here—that life exists, and identity;

That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.

-- Walt Whitman

The Grave Ballad by Eliza Saroma-Stępniewska

The Grave Ballad

You ought to know, though you may rave,

that we’ve had one foot in the grave

since we were born – and like the chains,

our every move the grave restrains.

Thus chained, we slowly plod along,

more and more grim, less and less strong –

until wham! one day it feels as

if the soil has just swallowed us.

Straight from the well-known path so neat

down there we land on both our feet.

A bit of wind, with rain combined –

and lo! no trace is left behind.

---

This is one of my poems I wrote in Polish and then translated into English.

Today (08.02.2022) is my father's birthday. If he lived, he would be 72. He died 20th December 2009.

Mourning chooses its own paths...

The poem, in both Polish and English versions, has been included in my latest, bilingual (Polish-English) book of verse, "Frigor Mortis" (Warsaw 2022).

PS. For my Polish observers, this is how the original version goes:

Ballada o śladach

Dobrze jest uświadomić sobie,

że tkwimy jedną nogą w grobie

przez całe życie – i ten grób

jak łańcuch plącze się u stóp.

Człapie więc człowiek na łańcuchu,

wiotczejąc w ciele, więdnąc w duchu,

aż dnia pewnego nagle: trach!

zapada się pod nami piach.

I prosto z wydeptanej dróżki

do dołu – hyc! na obie nóżki.

Powiał wiaterek. Deszczyk spadł.

Ni jeden się nie ostał ślad.
