This is the Memorial Union in Madison, Wisconsin. It is a place I spent a lot of time during my five years at UW, but mainly on the other end, at the terrace. It opened its doors in 1928 as the student union and houses all sorts of offices, but most important it serves some delicious ice cream and beer. they do go well together. I had never noticed this side entrance to Der Rathskeller, the pub. I had a really tough time framing this shot, but as I was leaving and walking towards my car, I saw the sign and it just sort of came together. I always seems to find that my favorite shots are the last ones I take or the ones I never actually envisioned when I approach a location.
Yeah, I'm officially showing! Lol, I like this picture, again taken by my 9yo niece. I loved my stomach, so made it the focus.
I encountered this little guy at the Bolsa Chica wetlands as I was making my way toward the water. Lizards were out in full force since the weather was so warm. He paused to let me take this shot (I like to believe). I got on the ground to get a more ground-level view and better bokeh.

At Inetsuke-jo Ato (Inetsuke Castle ruins), Akabane, Tokyo.
Inetsuke-jo Ato (Inetsuke Castle Ruins) are ruins of medieval castle which located on the tongue-shaped plateaus about 21 meters above sea level. The castle was designed to utilize natural landscapes. It was recorded as a Hori-ato (trench remains) in the Shinpen Musashi Fudoki Ko (A topography of Musashi Province from 1804 to 1829).
It is thought that main castle was constructed on the plateau terrace where currently Josho-ji Temple. The north and the east-west sides are steep cliff, and the plateau is followed by flat on the south side. According to the excavation around Josho-ji Temple, the dry moat remains (width about 12m, depth about 6m) were found with artifacts in the early 16th century.
A wooden seated statue of Ota Dokan is inherited in Josho-ji Temple. In the history of temple, Ota Dokan constructed Inetsuke-jo Castle. There is no archives specified the castle builder, but the result of excavation suggests that this castle is though to be related to Ogigayatsu Uesugi Clan. Also Ota Dokan was the main retainer of Ogigayatsu Uesugi Clan, so he might be built the castle.

Archaeological Site - Side
Side, with its long history, has accumulated a wealth of archaeological ruins for exploration. The well-preserved city walls provide an entrance to the site through the Hellenistic main gate of the ancient city even though this gate is badly damaged. The second gate is the Monumental Gate, flanked by the marble nymphaion, an elaborate three storey fountain structure decorated with marble reliefs, and supplied by the Manavgat River 18 miles away by means of a system of tunnels and aqueducts. A colonnaded street with many of the marble columns still standing leads to the Monumental Gate beside which is an double stepped podium with an elegant but empty niche bearing a dedicatory inscription to the Emperor Vespasian. The niche originally housed a statue and later on a fountain.
Immediately to your left is the amphitheatre, a mammoth structure which is the most complete ruin at Side and the largest in the Roman style in the region. It could seat around 15,000 people and some seats still contain the inscriptions of patrons’ names. Unlike other Hellenistic theatres that were traditionally carved into the side of a hill, this theatre was erected on flat land and its sheer vertical dimensions were supported by an infrastructure of vaults and arches - a construction unique to the Eastern Mediterranean. The theatre was subsequently altered by the Romans to accommodate gladiators and lions when a thick wall was erected on the lower levels to protect the spectators. You can walk through the seating area, but you can also walk underneath the seats, in the tunnels and ramps through which the spectators would have entered. The one part of the Side amphitheatre which is not intact is the stage, only a part of which is still standing. Over time the arch has collapsed onto the stage and the Proscenium is a jumble of loose blocks. In the 5th century, the theatre was used as an open-air basilica.
The agora, the market place and site of Side’s second-century slave market, and the circular foundations and some of columns of the marble Temple of Tyche from the 2nd century BC are still visible in front of the amphitheatre. The state agora is visible within the sand dunes of the eastern beach at Side. It is an amazing site, surrounded by columns which held a giant cross in the centre during the Byzantine period. It would have been decorated with copies of Greek statues, some of which remain on display in the Side Museum which is housed in the remains of the public bath house. There may also have been a library at this site.
The Temples of Apollo and Athena are adjacent to the ancient harbour which is located on the southeast part of the peninsula. Of these twin structures, built at the end of the 2nd century, it is the partially reconstructed Temple of Apollo that has become Side’s most photographed structure; its fine marble columns frame the sparkling blue of the sea just a stone’s throw away. Unfortunately, the site is now surrounded by barricades while extensive renovation work is carried out, and this rather spoils the otherwise amazing views. The remains of the temples are carefully arranged on the ground outside the barricade and on closer inspection many of these still depict faces, figures and calligraphy. Near the temples is a Byzantine Basilica, a 5th century structure that was built using some of the masonry from the two temples. In the 8th or 9th century, a small church was built in the nave of the ruined basilica.
The experience of entering Side by car and watching from the window as Roman ruins nearly 2000 years old fly by, is simply unforgettable.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
