Mycenae is an important archaeological site in Greece which was once the city at the center of the Mycenaean civilisation of between 1600BC and 1100BC. At its peak, Mycenae was one of the most important Ancient Greek cities and is linked to several works of cultural significance, including the Odyssey and the Iliad. Today, Mycenae contains several well-preserved sites, including the Lion’s Gate and the North Gate, which form parts of its fortified walls and which once stood 18 metres high and 6 to 8 metres thick.

One of several sets of portraits of Romans between 100 BCE and 300 CE taken at The Met - New York City. I have attempted to show these once very much living people as if they were still living, feeling, thinking human beings.

Leaving Waterloo station in London the other day, I was quite taken by this ‘ancient and modern’ view – the spire of St John’s church in the foreground, and One Blackfriars behind it.
St John’s church was built in 1822; One Blackfriars (also nicknamed ‘The Vase’) was completed in 2018.

The Amman Citadel is a historical site at the center of downtown Amman, Jordan. Known in Arabic as Jabal al-Qal'a, (جبل القلعة), the L-shaped hill is one of the seven jabals(mountains) that originally made up Amman. Evidence of occupation since the pottery Neolithic period has been found. It was inhabited by different peoples and cultures until the time of the Umayyads, after which came a period of decline and for much of the time until 1878 the former city became an abandoned pile of ruins only sporadically used by Bedouin and seasonal farmers. Despite this gap, the Citadel of Amman is considered to be among the world's oldest continuously inhabited places.
The Citadel is considered an important site because it has had a long history of occupation by many great civilizations. Most of the buildings still visible at the site are from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods. The major buildings at the site are the Temple of Hercules, a Byzantine church, and the Umayyad Palace.
Though the fortification walls enclose the heart of the site, the ancient periods of occupation covered large areas. Historic structures, tombs, arches, walls and stairs have no modern borders, and therefore there is considerable archaeological potential at this site, as well as in surrounding lands, and throughout Amman.
Archaeologists have been working at the site since the 1920s, including Italian, British, French, Spanish, and Jordanian projects, but a great part of the Citadel remains unexcavated.

Exploring Holme Fen on a Sunday afternoon. I was out all day looking for new spots and exploring the Autumn transition.
Holme Fen is mostly Birch trees but amongst the dense woodland there's a few other unique types.
