SPECIAL NOTES:
In the 1960's the Liberation Army in Zimbabwe laid 1.5 million land mines primarily along the boarders of Mozambique and Zambia. This mine field is boarded with these posts with the skull and cross bones to warn about the mines that remain.

Photos in this album were shot on a hike through Zambezi National Park in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe.
Kudos to our guide Charles who did a fantastic job of teaching us about where we were and what surrounded us...and keeping us safe (...for more, see the caption to the picture titled "The Most Dangerous Moment")

Weekly Theme: Broken
Week 23

Title: A Bleeding Heart is Broken
Notes: These flowers are often called "Broken Hearts". Whether that is appropriate or not I cannot say, but it was close enough for me to think they meet this week's theme. This blossom is one of my favorites and I was happy that there were some still in bloom this weekend at the Morris Arboretum. It was a gorgeous day and the arboretum was a sight for sore eyes :-).

I came out of a client's house, after working on their computer for an hour and a half, to find this note on my bike. Which was chained to THEIR "balcony supports."
Rich bastards.
Notes attempting to use nuts and bolts of insight to deepen technical execution/content of proposal project.
Note the smooth, rivet-free and clean exterior finish of the aluminum "Snap-Lock" panel walls. The panels interlock together to form an extremely robust, puncture-resistant exterior skin that is .100" thick and has internal support posts 12" on center. These internal support posts provide a rock-solid anchoring point for interior furnishings (overhead cabinets, shelving, workbenches, hanger brackets, etc)

Note on reverse : Vieil Armand, coté allemand (German side).
This view of the eastern slope of the Aussichtsfelsen shows a significant part of the German infrastructure not far from the ridge line and partially sheltered from French artillery.
In the center of the image, one of the emblematic constructions, the Felsenkaserne. Just above, with its wooden frame, the arrival station of the D2 funicular.
The imposing wall on the right is the Müheburg.
To the left of the Felsenkaserne, the Wartburg and above it, the bunker which housed Maschinenpersonal (personnel in charge of the machines). The latter is partially collapsed today while the other buildings are still in fair condition.
The photo was probably taken after the war, before August 1920 (inauguration of the Volunteer Cross), and from the Serpentine Way, between Curves 6 and 7. It could not be reproduced today, the vegetation having resumed its straight and completely blocks the view.
Note au verso : Vieil Armand, coté allemand.
Cette vue du versant Est de l'Aussichtsfelsen montre une partie importante des infrastructures allemandes non loin de la ligne de crête et partiellement à l'abri de l'artillerie française.
Au centre de l'image, l'une des constructions emblématiques, les Felsenkaserne. Juste au dessus, avec son ossature de bois, la station d'arrivée du funiculaire D2.
L'imposant mur à droite est le Müheburg.
A gauche des Felsenkaserne, le Wartburg et, au dessus de celui-ci, le bunker qui abritait le Maschinenpersonal (personnel préposé aux machines). Ce dernier est partiellement effondré aujourd'hui alors que les autres constructions sont encore dans un état correct.
La photo a probablement été prise après guerre, avant août 1920 (inauguration de la Croix des Engagés Volontaires), et depuis la Voie Serpentine entre les Courbes 6 et 7. On ne pourrait pas la reproduire aujourd’hui,hui, la végétation ayant repris ses droits et bouche complètement la vue.

The glass bottle and a hand written note by the shop owner's daughter was found in the chimney of one of the rooms at the museum in 1978, dating back to when the building was a butcher's shop.
The note, inside the glass bottle, is written on Memorandum paper and is headed April 29th 1881. To: whoever pulls this down. This place was built by W.C. Tucker for E.H. Hewett this year 1881. Signed Nellie Hewett (eldest daughter).
Trove tells us that the Hewett family was one of the pioneering families of Port Pirie and that Nellie the eldest of butcher Ethelbert Heber Hewett's 13 children. Nellie married a year after she left behind this time capsule, to Crystal Brook contractor Mr Frederick George Johnson at the Methodist Church, only the 2nd couple to be married here. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/97769250
Ethelbert Heber Hewett died in 1908 and his family had first arrived in South Australia on the Duchess of Northumberland in 1839.

(these are my fragmented notes from the time...sorry if they suck)
My Plan for day two...
Pantheon to
piazza venezia
to capital hill museums maybe
check out the underground passage to the tabularium
back door to forum?
forum
coleseum
(or do it backwards and have lunch in the pantheon->trevi fountain alley)
Lunch...(that seems way ambitous!)
metro to train station
ATAC 110 bus tour
Cappucin Cruypt
Borghese museum
....that is all I want for tomorrow :-).
What actually happened...
Coleseum
Palatine hill
forum
mediocre lunch
pantheon-wonderful
gellati! wonderful
tried to go to cappucin...failed because it was closed
Borshese-fantastic
got lost trying to get back...finally took a bus.
looked at pictures at the hotel
went to dinner down the street-best meal so far.
great great sex! I mean, great sex.
Incredibly tired out legs!
The Coleseum made passion bubble inside. There was an exhibit, something like 'The city in the present of the Past' or somesuch, that seemed like a post-processional view of the archeology of ancient rome, and how it integrates with the present.
The outer ring was closed off into an exhibit space with a long screen weaving around like a ribbon. Movies and slides were projected onto this ribbon from both sides, so sometimes you could read text, and other times the text was in reverse, so you could read it from the other side. Funny, it was the most moving part of the colloseum to me, and I didn't take a picture...the catalog for the exhibit was for sale in the book shop, but it was only in Italian. It included shots of excavating something old during WWII. Mussilinni was trying to connect the power of Italy in the 20th century with the power of Imperial Rome...or something.
We wandered to the Forum, but first ended up at a convent at the top of the hill, dead ending. I recorded the sounds of birds. then we went up the palatine hill. Both were beautiful, but probably lead to a bit of footsoreness by the Borghese!
Of note...there is an alter to Julius Ceaser marking the spot where he was cremated. There is a mound there, and there are flowers on it...people bring flowers to Ceaser.
We took the metro to the colleseum. You walk out of the station and BOOM! You are there. We tourned the colleseum, up to a convent, up palatine hill, through the forum, up capital hill, down to the pantheon, across past trevi fountain again, up to the capuccin crypts...all on foot. Then a bus to sort of near the borghese, and then 2 hours in the borghese...that was almost, but not quite, enough time. Then a long time being lost, and a 20 minute wait in the cold for a bus. Tuesday night, jumping ahead in our narrative, heather bought gloves in Florence while I checked email, but she didn't have them yet, and she was frozen! Bus back...collapse...rest a bit, then out to dinner then our great sex and bed!
The Pantheon was another big win! One detail of overheard conversation. An older Italian gentleman, talking to what seemed like friends. "Italy had four kings before it became a Republic. the first emmanual... is buried here, and his son was...and is buried on the other side."
The first two kings of Italy are buried in the Pantheon...and so is botticelli? ruben? Someone...who was then disinterred a hundred or two years later to just check up on him...there is a painting of that process.
