The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani), in Viale Vaticano in Rome, inside the Vatican City, are among the greatest museums in the world, since they display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries.
Pope Julius II founded the museums in the 16th century. The Sistine Chapel and the Stanze della Segnatura decorated by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums.
As of 2007, they were visited by 4,310,083 people for the year
Origins
The Vatican Museums trace their origin to one marble sculpture, purchased 500 years ago. The sculpture of Laocoön, the priest who, according to Greek mythology, tried to convince the people of ancient Troy not to accept the Greeks' "gift" of a hollow horse, was discovered 14 January 1506, in a vineyard near the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Pope Julius II sent Giuliano da Sangallo and Michelangelo Buonarroti, who were working at the Vatican, to examine the discovery. On their recommendation, the pope immediately purchased the sculpture from the vineyard owner. The pope put the sculpture of Laocoön and his sons in the grips of a sea serpent on public display at the Vatican exactly one month after its discovery.
The Museums celebrated their 500th anniversary in October 2006 by permanently opening the excavations of a Vatican Hill necropolis to the public.
Pinacoteca Art Gallery
The collection was first housed in the Borgia Apartment, until Pope Pius XI ordered construction of a proper building. The designer was Luca Beltrami. The museum has many famous paintings such as Raphael's Transfiguration, Leonardo da Vinci's Saint Jerome, Caravaggio's Deposition from the cross and Perugino's Madonna and Child with Saints.
Collection of Modern Religious Art
The Collection of Modern Religious Art houses paintings and sculptures from artists like Carlo Carrà and Giorgio de Chirico.
Sculpture museums
The group of museums includes several sculpture museums surrounding the Cortile del Belvedere.
Museo Pio-Clementino
Pope Clement XIV founded the Pio-Clementino Vatican museum in 1771, and originally it contained the Renaissance and antique works. The museum and collection were enlarged by Clement's successor Pius VI. Today, the museum houses works of Greek and Roman sculpture.
There are 54 galleries, or "salas" in total, with the Sistine Chapel, notably, being the very last sala within the Museum - visitors need to proceed through the other 53 salas before earning their reward with access to the Sistine. Some notable galleries are:
Greek Cross Gallery: (Sala a Croce Greca): with the porphyri sarcophagi of Constance and Saint Helen, daughter and mother of Constantine the Great.
Sala Rotonda: shaped like a miniature Pantheon, the room has impressive ancient mosaics on the floors, and ancient statues lining the perimeter, including a gilded bronze statue of Hercules.
Gallery of the Statues (Galleria delle Statue): as its name implies, holds various important statues, including Ariadne sleeping and Meander. It also contains the Barberini Candelabra.
Gallery of the Busts (Galleria dei Busti): Many ancient busts are displayed.
Cabinet of the Masks (Gabinetto delle Maschere): The name comes from the mosaic on the floor of the gallery, found in Villa Adriana, which shows ancient theater masks. Along the walls, several famous statues are shown including the Three Graces.
Sala delle Muse: Houses the statue group of Apollo and the nine muses as well as statues by important ancient Greek sculptors.
Sala degli Animali: So named because of the many ancient statues of animals
Museo Chiaramonti
This museum is named after Pope Pius VII (whose last name was Chiaramonti before his election as pope), who founded it in the early 1800s. The museum consists of a large arched gallery in which sides are exhibited several statues, sarcophaguses and friezes. The New Wing, Braccio Nuovo built by Raphael Stern, houses important statues like The Prima Porta Augustus and The River Nile. Galeria Lapidaria is another part of Chiaramonti museum, with more than 3,000 stone tablets and inscriptions, which is the world's greatest collection of its kind. However, it is opened only by special permission, usually for reasons of study.
Museo Gregoriano Etrusco
Founded by Pope Gregory XIII in 1836, this museum has eight galleries and houses important Etruscan pieces, coming from archaeological excavations. The pieces include: vases, sarcophagus, bronzes and the Guglielmi Collection.

A área das Cataratas do Iguaçu (em espanhol, Cataratas del Iguazú) são um conjunto majestoso de cerca de 275 quedas de água no Rio Iguaçu (na Bacia hidrográfica do rio Paraná), localizam entre o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Paraná, no Brasil, e no Parque Nacional Iguazú, Misiones, na Argentina. A área total de ambos parques nacionais, correspondem a 250 mil hectares de floresta subtropical e declarada como Patrimônio Natural da Humanidade.
O Parque Nacional argentino foi criado em 1934; e o Parque Nacional brasileiro, em 1939, com o propósito de administrar e proteger o manancial de água que representa essa catarata e o conjunto do meio ambiente ao seu redor. Os parques tanto brasileiro como argentino passaram a ser considerados Patrimônio da Humanidade em 1984 e 1986, respectivamente. Desde 2002 o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu é um dos sítios geológicos brasileiros.
Historicamente, o primeiro europeu a achar as Cataratas do Iguaçu foi o espanhol, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, no ano de 1542.
As Cataratas do Iguaçu estão participando da campanha mundial de escolha das Sete Novas Maravilhas da Natureza, organizada pela Fundação New 7 Wonders,ela esta entre as 28 finalista da campanha, que deve durar até 2011 quando deve ser atingido o número de 1 bilhão de votos,além das Cataratas do Iguaçu a Amazônia é outra concorrente brasileira que busca ser uma das Sete Novas Maravilhas da Natureza.Pela internet é possível votar através da pagina oficial da Fundação New 7 Wonders

Las cataratas del Iguazú se encuentran cerca de la triple frontera Argentina, Paraguay y Brasil (del idioma guaraní: Yguasu (agua grande), en portugués: cataratas do Iguaçu) son las cataratas localizadas en la provincia de Misiones, en el Parque Nacional Iguazú, Argentina y en el Parque Nacional do Iguaçu del estado de Paraná, Brasil. Su nombre proviene de dos palabras: la palabra «y» (similar a la /ü/ del alemán o la /u/ del francés, producida por contracción de la garganta) y la palabra «guasu» (léase guasu), que en lengua guaraní quieren decir «agua» y «grande», respectivamente.
Están formadas por 275 saltos de hasta 80 m de altura, alimentados por el caudal del río Iguazú. Se pueden realizar paseos en lancha bajo los saltos y caminatas por senderos apreciando algunos animales de la selva subtropical. La «Garganta del Diablo» (el salto mayor, que consta de 80 m) es un espectáculo aparte que, saliendo desde Puerto Canoas, se puede disfrutar en toda su majestuosidad a tan sólo 50 m de distancia.

Durante il percorso, notammo un piccola indicazione che indicava "Anfiteatro Romano". Optammo per la deviazione e imboccamo la stradina. Lì per lì pensammo di aver sbagliato strada ed esserci persi nel labirinto di case (bellissime!)...eppure doveva esser visibile...si poteva però salire più su e dalla piccola altura lo scorgemmo.
Quello che rimaneva dell'anfiteatro I sec d.C., quel muro/i, era parte delle gradinate ancora parzialmente conservate e visibili, perfettamente incastonato tra le case medievali XII sec., disposte in modo da preservare la sua forma elittica.
Infatti se fate una ricerca da satellite per Assisi (dai dai! :)!) potete benissimo vedere TUTTA la struttura, incredibile.!.. (non so come postarlo qui :((!, dai dai!).
E' un bellissimo esempio di riutilizzazione di un edificio romano.
Buon giorno!!

During the walk we noticed a little indication that showed "Roman Anphitheatre". We decided to make the diversion and walk in that direction. At certain point we come up with the doubt to have taken the wrong path and be lost in the labirint of houses (so beautiful!)...yet it should be visible (!)...we could climb a little bit higher and from that point we notice it.
The rest of the Anphitheatre (I sec. after C.), that wall/s, was part of the tiers part preserved and visible, perfectly set between medieval houses (XII sec.), disposed in a way to preserve the "oval" form (don't know exact translation :(!).
Infact If you make a search on satellite for Assisi (googl..please please do it :)!) you can see it perfectly, ALL the structure!!, incredible!...(I don't know how to post it here so..:((! come on, how can I explain you, is ALL, not only walls...go and see :)))!). It's a beautiful example of roman structure's reuse.
Buon giorno!!

Found this friendly froggy on a friend's country house in Morretes/Paraná/Brazil. This big-eyed voyeur was starying at me, hanging on a leaf, just above my head, while I was (don't laugh at me) taking a piss on a bush (it was 4 a.m, I was a bit drunk and the bathroom was too far away LOL).
I hate to shoot with the built-in flash, but I didn't had other option, so I cranked the ISO a bit and reduced the flash to the minimum power. I took at least 10 pictures with diferent perspectives, but only saved 4 of them. The 50mm I used has only manual focus, so the lack of available lights cumulated with the high ingestion of alcohol created an insurmountable barrier to achieve a perfect shot.
Post-processing info: a 5X5 square crop to get more details of the subject and improve the composition, Noise Ninja and Kodak Digital Airbush Professional on the background to reduce the grains, a bit of unsharp mask on the froggy, some color balance changing to make it more natural due to the flash fired. That's it!

I was recently reading an article/interview with Milton Glaser, who is one of America’s most prominent graphic designers, probably best known for the I heart NY logo. In the interview he was asked what was the best advice he could give his students, and he replied: “do good work”. I think this simple and fundamental advice is invaluable. In the end, if you do good work everything will fall in to place.
