Villa Torlonia, Roma.
Il bunker antiaereo più importante d’Italia, realizzato tra il 1942 e il 1943 per proteggere Benito Mussolini e la sua famiglia nella residenza privata di Villa Torlonia a Roma, il Rifugio nella sala centrale del piano seminterrato del Casino Nobile e il Rifugio cantina della Villa attrezzato intorno alla metà del 1940.
La struttura blindata del bunker, costruita ex novo, fu scavata ad una profondità di 6 metri e mezzo sotto il piazzale antistante il Casino Nobile; ha una planimetria a forma di croce e gallerie a sezione circolare protette da una copertura in cemento armato spessa 4 metri. Il bunker, la cui costruzione iniziò a fine 1942, rimase incompiuto poiché quando Mussolini fu destituito e arrestato (il 25 luglio del 1943) i lavori di rifinitura non erano terminati. Mancavano le porte blindate, la copertura esterna del pozzo e le dotazioni tecnologiche (come il sistema di aerazione). I ritardi furono determinati dalle difficoltà incontrate nello scavo: il terreno vicino al palazzo si rivelò di scarsa consistenza e ciò comportò la necessità di realizzare le fondamenta ad una profondità doppia rispetto al previsto. Se fosse stato completato, sarebbe stato il bunker italiano con il più alto grado di resistenza dedicato alla protezione di una singola personalità.
Il bunker e il rifugio del Casino Nobile furono recuperati e aperti al pubblico per la prima volta nel 2006 e chiusi dopo un breve periodo a causa della presenza nei locali di gas radon. Dopo alcuni interventi strutturali e di bonifica, questi luoghi, continuamente monitorati, possono accogliere i visitatori in completa sicurezza.

This is a back exit on our Art Deco Orchestra Hall Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
The vines on the far left are fun to see in the large and the original sizes.
Feels good.
To just drop back and be ourselves.
By the sea.
Shotgun loaded, dogs on their toes.
Interesting roadtrip, really.
But still.
I feel like singing.
After many months of closed schools, the time has come for kids to go back to their natural place. So every morning they arrive, others on foot, others by bus, by car or... on their magic pencil! Full disclosure, there may be others that are even more excited for the open schools than the kids. You guessed it, it’s the parents!

At the end of a beautiful sunny day Corris Railway No.7 arrives approaches Corris with passenger stock. The end of a great day of photography on this lovely little line.

Seen on route 306 at Borehamwood, Tesco.
To try and halt confusion between red TfL services and commercial non-TfL services, Sullivan Buses have painted their latest fleet of commercial vehicles in this "country-area" green livery.
Back alley ride. Near Nanjing road, Shanghai, China.
At a park in North Jersey. Just driving around and spotted a v-ball pickup game. I think this was my 1st “action” shot ever!
Just after Sunrise, NJT 4200 leads train 5718 while overtaking CSX Q190 in Newark, NJ. The day before saw moderate snowfall and caused NJT to shut buses down and run their severe weather scheduling. It would appear the trailing Multilevel Cab Car had issues, forcing the Raritan protect engine to be added before the day's run.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
As you can see by the date this was taken a
week or so ago.
At this time Mama has a nasty monkey wound
on her side. Pain is making Mama real grumpy.
She has a short fuse for any monkey business.
On a good note:
Mama is here at our home and doing quite well.
Both no# 1 wife and I are her caregivers making
sure all her needs are taken care of.
Tomorrow she goes back to the dog doctor for a
wound cleaning, bandage change
and general checkup.
It's your donations that has saved her life ...........
This whole dog saga started with Mama nearly 5
years ago at the monkey temple. Her body is full
of scars, dings and divots from an extremity tough
life in an unforgiving jungle environment.
The new revised plan is as follows.........
I'll head back out to the monkey temple in a few days.
Food and supplies still need to be delivered to the
nuns and head monk. Mama of course will stay here.
Once Mama has been cleared by the doctor she will
ride with me to the monkey temple.This could still be
a week or more away before she's given the OK ?
We'll spend some quality time with Rocky, Tinker Bell,
Little Stubby, Legs and Pumpkin the Rascal ..;-)
The Hooligans will be cared for too and I might have
missed a couple others but I'll get to them all.
Mama and I will return to our home together from the
monkey temple unless something that is out of my
control causes change.
This is the way it looks right now ........ ;-)
Thank You.
