Foro Romano
El Foro Romano (en latín, Forum Romanum, aunque los romanos se referían a él comúnmente como Forum Magnum o simplemente Forum) era el foro de la ciudad de Roma, es decir, la zona central —semejante a las plazas centrales en las ciudades actuales— donde se encuentran las instituciones de gobierno, de mercado y religiosas. Al igual que hoy en día, era donde tenían lugar el comercio, los negocios, la prostitución, la religión y la administración de justicia. En él se situaba el hogar comunal.
Series de restos de pavimento muestran que sedimentos erosionados desde las colinas circundantes ya estaban elevando el nivel del foro en la primera época de la República. Originalmente había sido un terreno pantanoso, que fue drenado por los Tarquinios mediante la Cloaca Máxima. Su pavimento de travertino definitivo, que aún puede verse, data del reinado de César Augusto.
Actualmente es famoso por sus restos, que muestran elocuentemente el uso de los espacios urbanos durante el Imperio romano. El Foro Romano incluye los siguientes monumentos, edificios y demás ruinas antiguas importantes:
Templo de Cástor y Pólux
Templo de Rómulo
Templo de Saturno
Templo de Vesta
Casa de las Vestales
Templo de Venus y Roma
Templo de César
Basílica Emilia
Basílica Julia
Arco de Septimio Severo
Arco de Tito
Rostra (plural de rostrum), la tribuna desde donde los políticos daban sus discursos a los ciudadanos romanos.
Curia Julia, sede del Senado.
Basílica de Majencio y Constantino
Tabulario
Templo de Antonino y Faustina
Regia
Templo de Vespasiano y Tito
Templo de la Concordia
Templo de Jano
Un camino procesional, la Vía Sacra, cruza el Foro Romano conectándolo con el Coliseo. Al final del Imperio perdió su uso cotidiano quedando como lugar sagrado.
El último monumento construido en el Foro fue la Columna de Focas. Durante la Edad Media, aunque la memoria del Foro Romano persistió, los edificios fueron en su mayor parte enterrados bajo escombros y su localización, la zona entre el monte Capitolino y el Coliseo, fue designada Campo Vaccinio o ‘campo bovino’. El regreso del papa Urbano V desde Aviñón en 1367 despertó un creciente interés por los monumentos antiguos, en parte por su lección moral y en parte como cantera para construir nuevos edificios. Se extrajo gran cantidad de mármol para construcciones papales (en el Vaticano principalmente) y para cocer en hornos creados en el mismo foro para hacer cal. Miguel Ángel expresó en muchas ocasiones su oposición a la destrucción de los restos. Artistas de finales del siglo XV dibujaron las ruinas del Foro, los anticuarios copiaron inscripciones desde el siglo XVI y se comenzó una excavación profesional a finales del siglo XVIII. Un cardenal tomó medidas para drenarlo de nuevo y construyó el barrio Alessadrine sobre él. No obstante, la excavación de Carlo Fea, quien empezó a retirar los escombros del Arco de Septimio Severo en 1803, y los arqueólogos del régimen napoleónico marcaron el comienzo de la limpieza del Foro, que no fue totalmente excavado hasta principios del siglo XX.
En su estado actual, se muestran juntos restos de varios siglos, debido a la práctica romana de construir sobre ruinas más antiguas.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history.Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.
Back to business. Returning sometimes feels like jumping on a moving train. New Orleans, btw, was awesome. I think Allison and I found our Vegas.
Terrific Tuesday to you.

With not much to do these days Wooly Monkey has gotten himself into a little monkey business.
Stay home. Stay safe. Stay out of any monkey business.
Since posting this I have received a few comments suggesting how folks needed a good laugh during these difficult times. I'm grateful for your laughs and comments.
Pier One, Walsh Bay - Sydney harbour.
Looking west across the harbour to the Blues Point Tower.
There's no lifeguard on duty, lol. So obviously you cannot dive into the harbour. BUT, anyway, why would you want to? Because along this pier there is the super amazing Pier Bar. Check it out:

Monkey business
The title is just ofcourse for fun, humans are no monkey's , are they?
And here's the real story. If you want to see the work of Frans Lanting, the dutch master in nature and animal photography , in the Nederlands fotomuseum in Rotterdam , you'll really have to hurry. The exhibition ends at 18th september! For you're information, I've visited it 4 times, that's how impressed I am. All credits for this picture ofcourse, are for him, thanks for sharing Frans. ps; the Flickr location is wrong, it's not on the Noordereiland, here's the adress:

I don't know what it was, but I loved the fog covering the bridge. Nearly every time we were able to capture a glimpse of this historical gem it was covered with fog. I don't know, I suppose I just enjoyed the natural thickness of it all.
The fog added a bit of drama which is something I will happily tolerate in photography. The business of being busy, the business of doing what needs to be done. Everyone on this bridge was in the business of getting something done that day; whether it was work, play, touring, exercising, or otherwise; everyone had business to tend to. Bridge business.

Back in business
2021 was the year of the great garden renovation. Instead of photographing foxes, badgers, sun rays and frosty mornings I was now building my own Japanese garden paradise with a large pond, a rocky garden stream, stepping stones throughout the garden, a fancy shed and a large wooden deck. Great fun to learn how to build it yourself of course, but that also meant very little time for photography in 2021. Luckily all that is finished now and we can soon enjoy the warmer seasons again in a garden full of wings, fins, fluffy tails, and flowers.
As a kick-off to this new year of photography, I visited the cold northern parts of Finland and Norway, together with 5 highly talented nature photographers. While temperatures back home reached +20°C, we were experiencing snow blizzards, cold sessions in drafty hides and getting pooped on by thousands of birds. Definitely one of the better photography trips I’ve been on though, all thanks to Stefan Gerrits Photography for putting together the perfect trip to the Varanger Peninsula!
Anyhow, this is the first of many images I will share from this trip. The European Shags (the bird, not that other thing….) at the island of Hornøya were closely sitting together, forming this dark patch of feathers with here and there some bright yellow cheeks and a pair of vivid green eyes staring back at you.
