Burial Sites dating from the Byzantine Period.
Is this some type of Peperomia? Leaves about 2.5 x 3.0 cms. I bought it in the supermarket today as a "succulent" ....
It has attractive maroon veins. Species or hybrid if Peperomias make hybrids?

It was a great surprise for me to see this here, in this submarine a long time ago I came very close to being killed. It was in refit and I was doing work on the boat, slipped in the conning tower and got a serious injury, a large cut about a foot long. Oh well ancient history now and I am fine.
The Onondga is the only submarine open to the public in Canada. Discover the lifestyle of submarine crew members confined within a 90 meter ship for months.
The ONONDAGA is the Canadian submarine with the longest active career in the history of the Canadian Navy. It was in service for 33 years. It travelled more than 500,000 nautical miles be that more than 23 times around the world. About half the distance covered was underwater. It visited more than 53 ports in 12 different countries and was under the command of more than 25 commanders during its long career. A major part of this career was under the patronage of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
EDIT 10:30PM Saturday: I've been disappointed to notice that this post has many more views than my photos have gained votes since I posted this 12 hours ago. If you can take the time to click on the thumbnail to see the full-size image and read the caption, please take another 15 seconds to vote for my photos at the contest site (vc.ascebridgephotos.org/). It'll really make a difference. Thanks!

The American Society of Civil Engineers held a Bridges Photo Contest this year and I am thrilled to announce that three of my photos were nominated for Viewers' Choice Award. I have been an ASCE member since my freshman year of college and it would be a tremendous honor to win this award, but I can't do it without your help.
First: PLEASE VOTE! It's incredibly easy:
1) Visit the VCA website: vc.ascebridgephotos.org/
2) Check the boxes below all three of my photos (Hadley Bow Bridge, Foss River Bridge and Loch Nan Uamh Viaduct)
3) Enter your email address at the bottom of the page (collected only for ballot tracking purposes, each email address can only vote for each photo one time)
4) Click Submit
Second: PLEASE SHARE! The only way I'm going to win against tough international competition is to instigate a crowdsourcing effort -- only by getting as many people as possible to vote for my photos can I achieve the top of the leader board. I ask that you assist in distributing the news by one or more of the following ways:
- Forward this Flickr link to your family, friends and coworkers
- Post the link on your social networks and ask people to vote for my photos
- Click the Pintrest and/or Twitter links on the contest page to post links directly to those sites
- Be creative about finding other ways of sharing! (Run a newsletter? Attend social gatherings? Have professional clients interested in bridges or photography?)
Voting closes September 30th -- while that might seem like a distant date, crowdsourcing works best if given the most time to propagate, so please start sharing now!
Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that one of the nominated photos, the Hadley Bow Bridge, was also honored by being selected for October in ASCE's Bridges 2014 wall calendar: www.asce.org/Content.aspx?id=23622327581
Thank you all so much for your help!

Would you believe this was lit with an AA battery powered LED flashlight? This is a large space. I believe the doors at the top back are five floors above the stage.
The room was completely dark. No windows, no skylights. The slight amount of light trickling in the doors did nothing to light this huge area. The photo itself is nothing special. But I'm fairly pleased with the way it came out considering how dark the space was, and how it was lit.
From the early 50's until a fire in the 80's this was the site of Gold Star Studios, then the center of rock music recording on the West Coast. Located on Santa Monica Boulevard near Vine Street (about a mile south of Hollywood & Vine), it is near Paramount Studios (incorporating the former RKO/Desilu Studios) and the Hollywood Forever Cemetary where numerous famous stars are buried.
As one of the first independent recording studios it was not constrained by the "old line" policies of the majors and developed its own unique commercially succesful sound. Using custom-built recording equipment and its "best ever" echo chamber, it was home to Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound", an unmatched "Wrecking Crew" house band, and source of hundreds of hit records.
A very abbreviated list of top artists that were associated with Gold Star:
Hal Blaine - the world's most recorded drummer
Tommy Tedesco - the world's most recorded guitarist
Jack Nitzsche - arranger - including many hits produced by Phil Spector. Co-wrote "Up Where We Belong".
Sonny Bono - percussion. Brought his girlfriend Cher to Gold Star. The backing on his defiantly patriotic "Revolution Kind" is a great example of the Gold Star sound.
Cher - graduated from backing singer to superstar. Recorded "Bang Bang" and "You Better Sit Down Kids" at Gold Star
Ronnettes - recorded "Be My Baby" at Gold Star -- favorite song of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. The elaborate intro to their "Do I Love You?" clearly highlights the elements of the Gold Star sound.
Beach Boys - recorded "Don't Worry Baby" at Gold Star - a tribute to "Be My Baby" with same Hal Blaine drum intro
Paul Revere & the Raiders - recorded "Kicks" and "Hungry" at Gold Star with Hal Blaine on drums
Buffalo Springfield - recorded "Expecting to Fly" at Gold Star with Jack Nitzsche as arranger
Righteous Brothers - recorded "Ebb Tide", "Unchained Melody", "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" (the most played song ever on US radio), and many others at Gold Star
Ike & Tina Turner - recorded "River Deep-Mountain High" and "I'll Never Need More Than This" at Goldstar - Tina was never hotter and no one ever did a better job of soaring over the Wall of Sound
Darlene Love - recorded the best rock Christmas song ever at Gold Star: "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"
Crystals - recorded "Uptown", "He's a Rebel", and the quickly withdrawn "He Hit Me and It Felt Like a Kiss" at Gold Star. Group often included Darlene Love.
Glen Campbell - started as session guitarist at Gold Star
Leon Russell - played keyboards at Gold Star early in his career
Later recordings that paid tribute to the Gold Star sound include:
Bruce Springsteen - "Born to Run"
The Tubes - "Don't Touch Me There"
Eddie Money - "Take Me Home Tonight" which featured Ronnie of the Ronnettes reprisng the chorus from "Be My Baby"
(These are the one's that instantly come to mind -- there are hundreds more).

Added February 2013: As the result of a comment, the photo has been updated. According to Wikipedia:
"Gold Star Recording Studios was located at 6252 Santa Monica Boulevard near the corner of Vine Street in Hollywood. The studio closed in 1984. A fire occurred in the structure after its closure, but all contents had been removed prior to the fire. The building was later demolished. A strip mall currently stands on the original location."
6252 Santa Monica Boulevard is now occupied by the water store in the above photo. The photo previously here was 6223 Santa Monica Boulevard, across the street. It had a "strong resemblence" to an alleged photo of the studio on a now non-existent web site.
