A true open-air museum, Rome has preserved and enriched its beauty over the centuries. Each corner of the streets reveals a treasure, be it ancient, religious, architectural or even gastronomic. All roads lead to Rome, and one should not resist, simply take it and go, enjoy the beauty and admire the eternal city.
Shot at Backdrop Cove. The backdrop has a reflected picture of a Vatican-like basilica (I blurred and shadowed it out). Together with the lovely hat by COCO Designs. the scene put me in mind of an Audrey Hepburn look. So the title is just the mish mosh of those images in my head.

Roman Miroshnichenko is one of the outstanding modern guitar virtuosos. As his colleagues in the creative department say, he is the “gray eminence” of Russian jazz, it is his opinion that is taken into account when determining the main musical jazz trends. Roman Miroshnichenko is the first musician from the CIS and Eastern Europe to become a laureate of one of the most prestigious American awards, the Independent Music Awards.
The virtuoso first took up the guitar at the age of 14, and from that moment he never parted with it. The formation of the manner of playing Roman Miroshnichenko was greatly influenced by such great people as Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin. The guitar of Roman Miroshnichenko sounds in the soundtracks of domestic and foreign films and TV shows. According to the musician himself, his genre has no clear boundaries, his music is instrumental and in some way universal. Thanks to this, Miroshnichenko's melodies are understandable for people of all ages and nationalities. To understand the language of his music, it is enough to open up to it.
Collage of two photos. For the background, I took a fragment of the "Picturesque Bridge" in Moscow, during sunset. I photographed the guitarist during a performance at the NAMM 2019 music exhibition in Sokolniki, Moscow. Russia.
I would like to address the musicians on behalf of the fans: We are not returning tickets for your concerts and are looking forward to meeting you!
Boxford Roman mosaic is a mosaic at Boxford near Newbury, West Berkshire, England, rediscovered during an archaeological dig in August 2017. It dates from the Roman period. The 4th century (AD) mosaic is over 6 metres long. Its central panel is thought to show Bellerophon, at the court of either Iobates or Proteus, battling Chimera.
Anthony Beeson, an expert on Roman mosaics, said it is "without question the most exciting mosaic discovery made in Britain in the last 50 years and must take a premier place amongst those Romano-British works of art that have come down to modern Britons".
The mosaic was uncovered during a community archaeology project, investigating three Roman sites near to the village of Boxford, which was led by the Boxford History Project, the Berkshire Archaeology Research Group and Cotswold Archaeology, which began in 2011. Earlier in 2017, a villa "of modest size" was unearthed at Boxford. The mosaic was found at the southern end of this building. Only one half of the mosaic was uncovered. It was subsequently reburied, to ensure its preservation.
Further archaeology was undertaken in 2019 and an open day for the public occurred on Saturday 31st August 2019,
It will be covered again to preserve it for posterity.

If you are driving into Tarragona its always worth stopping to look at this most beautiful piece of historical architecture. The Pont de les Ferreres also known as Pont del Diable (Devil’s Bridge) is a Roman bridge, on the outskirts of Tarragona , in Catalonia, Spain. The aqueduct was added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2000.
Description from Wiki
The Tárraco aqueduct took water from the Francolí river, 15 kilometers north of Tarragona. It probably dates from the time of Augustus. The Pont de les Ferreres is composed of two levels of arches: the upper section has 25 arches, and the lower one has 11. All arches have the same diameter of 20 Roman feet. It has a maximum height of 89 ft and a length of 817 ft, including the ends where the specus (water channel) runs atop a wall.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

ITALIA EL PAÍS DE LAS «FONTANAS»
Donde quiera que vayas, no importa si es un pueblito o una gran ciudad, encontraras fuentes de agua potable. Se encuentran siempre y muy frecuentes, y «casi» en todas de ellas se puede beber agua tranquilamente pues es limpia 100%
Estas Fontanas jugaron un rol muy importante hace aproximadamente 1 siglo atrás y hasta mediados del siglo XX, pues en muchos pueblos y ciudades el agua potable no llegaba directamente a los hogares, sino que las amas de casa se reunían en las Fuentes para recoger agua limpia para cocinar o lavar. Fue tan importante el rol que ellas jugaron que aun hoy los Italianos no pueden vivir sin fuentes en sus ciudades incluso si tienen agua potable en sus casas.
Obviamente no todas las fuentes son para beber, muchas fuentes (sobretodo en Roma) son simplemente obras de arte decorativas, como la Fontana de Trevi, o las fuentes que encontrareis en Plaza de España o Plaza Navona. Las fuentes en las que podéis beber tranquilamente de sus aguas son las llamadas «Fontanelle» (fuentecillas) que generalmente son pequeñas, no monumentales, pero abundantes (en Roma se cuentan mas de 2000 esparcidas por toda la ciudad).
Cada ciudad en Italia tiene una peculiaridad con su Fontanella, por ejemplo en Roma les llaman «Nasoni» (narizones) pues el tubo por el que sale el agua parece la nariz enorme de la fuente.
