In the aftermath of the Battle of Actium (31 BC), Agrippa built and dedicated the original Pantheon during his third consulship (27 BC). Agrippa's Pantheon was destroyed along with other buildings in a huge fire in 80 AD. The current building dates from about 126 AD, during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian, as date-stamps on the bricks reveal. It was totally reconstructed with the text of the original inscription ("M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT", standing for Latin: Marcus Agrippa, Lucii filius, consul tertium fecit translated to "'Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, Consul for the third time, built this") which was added to the new facade, a common practice in Hadrian's rebuilding projects all over Rome. Hadrian was a cosmopolitan emperor who travelled widely in the East and was a great admirer of Greek culture. He might have intended the Pantheon, a temple to all the gods, to be a kind of ecumenical or syncretist gesture to the subjects of the Roman Empire who did not worship the old gods of Rome, or who (as was increasingly the case) worshipped them under other names. How the building was actually used is not known.
The Pantheon is the best preserved of all Roman buildings, and perhaps the best preserved building of its age in the world. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. The design of the extant building is sometimes credited to Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus, but it is equally likely that the building and the design should be credited to emperor Hadrian's architects, but not Hadrian himself as many art scholars once thought. Since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a Catholic church. The Pantheon is the oldest standing domed structure in Rome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).

The “Oculus” serves as the centerpiece of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, incorporating 78,000 square feet of multi level state-of-the-art retail and dining. The concourses emanating from the Oculus link the entirety of the site above and below grade. With an additional 290,000 square feet of exciting, multi-level retail and dining space, the World Trade Centre site is the focal point of Lower Manhattan.
Down Town Tour late afternoon. It didn't take long to get really dark. I got off the Bus here to look around the World Trade Centre and 9 11 Tribute Memorial. It was really dark when I got back on the bus again.
Because I only had one full day in New York I took back to back Hop On Hop Off Buses. Some of the images are not very good as the bus would go over bumps etc,. I have kept them in as memorises of the day. I only got off the bus once so most of the photos were taken as we were travelling along. Sadly I just didn't have time to have a good walk around.
I woke to a lovely sunny day and not too cold with around 16c. As the day went on it clouded over a bit and cooled down. November 7, 2018 USA
Oculus is one of many that were included in the city’s plan to rebuild the World Trade Center after September 11.
The oculus of the Idaho state capitol is about 11 feet in diameter, and displays a canvas of sky-blue background sprinkled with gold stars. The stars on the canvas symbolizes Idaho's acceptance as the 43rd state in the Union. (Source: capitolcommission.idaho.gov/pdf/about/idaho_capitol_histo...)

Short-sightedness, or myopia, is a very common eye condition that causes distant objects to appear blurred, while close objects can be seen clearly.
It's thought to affect up to one in three people in the UK and is becoming more common.
Treatments for short-sightedness
Short-sightedness can usually be corrected effectively with a number of treatments.
The main treatments are:
Corrective lenses – such as glasses or contact lenses to help the eyes focus on distant objects
Laser eye surgery to alter the shape of the eye – this isn't usually available on the NHS and shouldn't be carried out on children, whose eyes are still developing
Artificial lens implants – where a man-made lens is permanently inserted into the eyes to help them focus correctly; these are also not usually available on the NHS

On Thursday, March 4th, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan officially opened to the public. The hub replaces the PATH train station that was destroyed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which — if you'll recall — was rather a long time ago. Indeed, over 12 years in the making, the new train station is symbol of both governmental waste and architectural excess. Its centerpiece is the Oculus, a mind-boggling glass-and-steel structure designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava to look like a dove in flight, but it actually more closely resembles a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the sands of Lower Manhattan.
Critics have blasted the hub for its massive cost overruns ($4 billion in public money) and lack of anything resembling a traditional train station (ticket machines, clocks, maps). But its existence is significant, if only because the hub represents the type of ambitious open spaces that used to exemplify public transit in the US. Grotesquely expensive, sure. Tough on the eyes, no question. But at least we all get to share in the spectacle.

the breathtaking oculus, flanked by two beautiful hanging lights sheds an array of colors all over the floor of the dining room in the abandoned JN Adam Tuberculosis Sanatorium in perrysburg, ny. many years ago president McKinley was shot under this dome while attending the pan-am exposition in buffalo, ny in 1901 where it stood at the temple of music, but was fortunetly saved from being destroyed.
