These fabulous hot pink lilies are a Southern favorite in September. They pop up without warning like little firecrackers. It seems we 4get about them until after the yard man has already mowed them down...this year 1 survived.

ROMA ARCHEOLOGICA & RESTAURO ARCHITETTURA 2024. ROME - Inauguration of Piazza Pia: A Pedestrian Haven Linking Castel Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's; in: IL MESSAGGERO / ENGLISH (23/12/2024).
ROME - A pedestrian square that, among trees, seating, and fountains, unites Castel Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's in a single perspective, eliminating the river of cars in front of Via della Conciliazione, thanks to the extension of the already existing underpass of Lungotevere in Sassia.
What Changes
After 450 days of work and an investment of 85.3 million, Piazza Pia, the symbolic work of the Jubilee, was inaugurated. At the ribbon-cutting were Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, Monsignor Rino Fisichella, the Pope's delegate for the Jubilee, the Minister of Infrastructure Matteo Salvini, the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the President of the Lazio Region Francesco Rocca.
Also present were Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano, the CEO of Anas Aldo Isi, and the President of Anas Edoardo Valente. Despite the excellent archaeological finds, from the Roman fullonica to Caligula's portico, the works were completed in time for the opening of the Holy Door tomorrow at St. Peter's.
A Small Miracle
"In a few hours, the Holy Father will begin the Jubilee, and Rome will open its doors to millions of pilgrims. We have all worked hard and well to ensure that the city meets expectations," and "today we are able to inaugurate Piazza Pia, thanks to those who worked, from Anas to Fs to the workers, but also to a method we inaugurated with the control room at Palazzo Chigi for which I thank Undersecretary Mantovano. It can be defined as a small civil miracle, the Jubilee method that can remind us that in Italy things can be done well and quickly," said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Piazza Pia and the extension of the vehicular underpass of Lungotevere in Sassia in Rome. "A project of over 85 million euros to make traffic more fluid and to have a large pedestrian space that can host up to 150,000 people here - she added -, done with a spirit of collaboration that I also want to remember today.
The New Road
Thanks to the extension of an already existing road axis, the road platform has maintained the same geometric characteristics as the existing work: a carriageway consisting of three lanes, two with a width of three meters and one with a width of 3.5 meters. There will be two service pedestrian crossings of different widths, the left one 50 centimeters and the right one 100 centimeters. In the center of the square, two fountains have been placed to create two water mirrors capable of reflecting the sky. The creation of green spaces with valuable tree species is planned, which, in addition to enhancing the work, will mitigate the "heat island" effect. The area affected by the new underpass is home to several "subservices," among which the presence of two primary city collectors stands out: the Basso Farnesina and the Basso di Destra. They come from the North, pass under two arches of the "Passetto" - the arched passage in masonry that connects the Vatican to Castel Sant'Angelo - and, crossing Piazza Pia, join just before the entrance of the existing underpass, creating a new and unique collector. The new underpass was made with a "phased" process that ensured the maintenance of the sewer system during the works. Initially, the phases provided for a sewer bypass dug between diaphragms adjacent to the existing collector, which, once put into operation, allowed the demolition of the original collector and the completion of the underpass structures.

The Finds Discovered During the Excavations
At the end of June 2024, the construction site experienced a crucial moment for the discovery of significant archaeological finds covering a vast area falling right in the access ramp to the new underpass. Thanks to an emergency archaeology intervention and the work of the Superintendency, it was possible to secure everything and resume the excavations. The finds will be exhibited in the gardens of Castel Sant'Angelo. The excavation returned an important series of Campana Slabs, figured terracottas used for roof decoration, with unusual mythological scenes, reused as covers for the fullonica's sewers, but originally probably made for the covering of some garden structure, perhaps the same portico. With a synergy that proved fundamental among all the entities involved, last July the diaphragm was demolished and, subsequently, the connection of the new underpass with the existing one was made. Finally, the excavation activities were completed to bring the underpass level to the floor and the bottom slab was made. Given the particular context, highly urbanized and characterized by the presence of historical buildings and valuable archaeological value, the "cut and cover" or "top down" technique was chosen, which allowed work to be carried out simultaneously on the surface and inside the underpass, thus allowing an acceleration of the completion times of the work, which was completed in just 450 days thanks to 110 professionals working 24 hours a day, in three work shifts.

Nice small scale challenge to get the distinctive shape and enough detail to make it distinguishable.

Welcome to the Virtual Aquarium. This is one of a set of pictures specifically intended to be viewed as a whole, in slideshow form.
Beyond being a group of pictures, I am conducting an experiment here. I have always noticed that watching fish has a calming and soothing effect on me as well as others. Please come as often as you wish, especially when you are feeling tense or need to relax for a moment, and escape your concerns for a minute or three. Pictures will be added, omitted and rearranged periodically, so it might be different the next time you visit.
I would appreciate you taking a moment to comment as to how you were effected by the aquarium at any given time. Please leave your notes and thoughts with the set, rather than on "individual" items. (That's okay too, but I am very interested to know your feelings about the whole!)
Thanks for your views,
Steve

Built in 1769 and expanded in 1786, this Moravian-style building was constructed as the Single Brothers' Home for the Moravian settlement of Salem. The building was later modified in the 19th and 20th Centuries, before being returned to its late 18th Century appearance during the restoration of Old Salem in the mid-20th Century. The building features a side-gable roof, with an older wing featuring a red brick exterior, half-timbering, six-over-six double-hung windows, a shed awning at the first floor, a rear log barn, and a newer wing featuring a red brick exterior and arched bays. The building is a contributing structure in the Old Salem Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
