Piazza delle Erbe (Market's square) is a square in Verona, northern Italy. It was once the town's forum during the time of the Roman Empire.
The northern side of the square is occupied by the ancient town hall, the Torre dei Lamberti, the Casa dei Giudici ("Judges' Hall") and the frescoed Mazzanti Houses. The western side, the shortest one, features the Baroque Palazzo Maffei, decorated by statues of Greek gods. It is faced by a white marble column, on which is St. Mark's Lion, symbol of the Republic of Venice.
The north-western side occupies the site of the ancient Roman Capitol Hill, which looked towards the forum. Numerous of its buildings facing the square have maintained façade frescoes. On the southern side is the crenllated Casa dei Mercanti ("House of the Merchants", also known as Domus Mercatorum), now the seat of the Banca Popolare di Verona. Other buildings, the tall houses of the Ghetto, are reminiscent of medieval tower-houses.
The square's most ancient monument is the fountain (built in 1368 by Cansignorio della Scala), surmounted by a statue called Madonna Verona, which is however a Roman sculpture dating to 380 AD. Also historical is the capitello, dating to the 13th century, during which it was used for several ceremonies, including the oath of investment of the city's medieval podestà and pretors. Towards Via Cappello is another column, with a 14th-century aedicula with reliefs of the Virgin and the Saints Zeno, Peter and Christopher

I'v been wanting to make a photographic research of the Oporto's inner city back yards for years now. It's one of the city's best kept secrets. I will make of this picture a starting point.
Flickr Lounge Saturday theme - yard - I spent the day in Stockholm so didn't manage to get my own yard. These are three of five back yards from the block of flats where I lived as a child.

My garden blackbird has come back and looking straight in my window to announce his presence.
How could i refuse that face.....lol.
I wanted to get a shot of the Aquilegia in my garden before they went over but it's been too breezy the last few days to get anything properly focused so had to go back to basics & bring one indoors :)
Taken a few years ago on a trip to the Northern California coast. That trip was my first sighting of these pretty little birds.

Here we view Canadian National's most sought after heritage unit, the EJ&E 661. It has just bypassed some maintenance-in-the-way traffic and is heading west, back to Griffith yard.
Up at Back Tor on Derwent Edge yesterday afternoon, and the usual focal points and compositions fell by the wayside as the snow drifts were far more visually appealing.
Back to the seemingly endless rolling hills and gentle folds of the Palouse, Washington landscape. It really is a magical place, almost one of a kind, especially when you view it from above - where the true shape becomes apparent.

Life may be hard, things might not be going your way, but at the end of the day, all you really need is someone who loves you and always has your back.
Didn't do as much traveling I wanted to do last summer, but a highlight of Summer 2015 was time spent in St. Cloud during August. Was a fun week down there with the family, visiting friends in the area that didn't migrate away after college. Lots of great times away from the tracks, but carved out a little bit of railfanning too. One of the railfan goals was to revisit shooting a morning train on the Mississippi River. So got up early on this clear, hot Friday and headed downtown.
BNSF 2623 and PRLX 704 ease a dozen or so cars over the former GN bridge in St. Cloud, running east from the yard to the Staples Sub. mainline on Aug. 14, 2015.
This reminded me of the East Locals I used to shoot back in the day in Cloud, a leaser Geep in the consist pulling boxcars. Although back in the day these cars would have been paper loads out of the Sartell Mill.
Much more traffic to contend to when getting on the mainline now. This Friday edition of the local crossed the bridge here and headed for the red signal at the east leg of the wye. Once stopped there, the DS told them it would be several hours until they got out, so they backed back through downtown St. Cloud to the ex-GN yard. Three hours later they proceeded back east towards the Staples Sub. again.
Never saw anything like that in the late 90s. On a busy day, they would wait for maybe one or two trains before proceeding east on the mainline.
Photographing Bakersfield and its surrounding, this image is prove that there is beauty everywhere. You just need to open your eyes and mind to it.
Sega 007 James Bond GoldenEye Pinball Machine
Goldeneye was Sega's first pinball effort in 1996. The theme is licensed from the James Bond movie Goldeneye, the first which features Pierce Brosnan as 007.
The major toy in this game is a rotating Satellite with a magnet in its center capable of catching and holding a pinball. The player can load the Satellite via a Pop-Up Ramp which rises up from the playfield. The machine also has a Ball Saver, which consists of a magnet system which catches and flings the ball away from the outhole and back into play.
