Split's early history, revolves around a Greek settlement founded between the 3rd and 4th century BC. Its most famous historical development, however, came in 295 AD when Roman emperor Diocletian ordered a residence to be built for his retirement, as it was close to the large Roman settlement, Salona.
It took ten years to build this magnificent palace and Diocletian lived there until he died in 313 AD. After his death, many Roman rulers continued to use it as a retreat although by the later part of the 6th century it had fallen into disrepair.
Today, the palace is bustling with shops, restaurants, and three thousand local inhabitants who live and work inside this wondrous city-scape. Split, Croatia
Sigmund Freud's Vacation in Split
There are some hidden points around Split not even many locals know about, and there are those which puzzle anyone who sees them. For example, whenever I'm guiding a tour around the historical city centre, there is a plaque almost everyone will stop and ask "What does it mean?" It's not very visible, placed on a facade of a strange looking, oriental style building in the passage connecting a square locally known as the Fruit Square and Riva. Next to a relief showing widely recognizable face inscription says "Sigmund Freud, father of psychoanalysis stayed in this house in September 1898".

Split [split] (italienisch Spalato, entstanden aus griechisch ἀσπάλαθος, aspálathos) ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kroatiens. Sie ist die größte Stadt Südkroatiens und gilt daher im Volksmund als „Hauptstadt Dalmatiens“, ohne dass ihr dieser Status je offiziell zugesprochen wurde. Die Stadt ist Verwaltungssitz der Gespanschaft Split-Dalmatien (kroatisch Splitsko-dalmatinska županija), die den zentralen Teil Dalmatiens umfasst. Split zählte 2011 etwa 167.000 Einwohner.[1] Dies entsprach 3,885 Prozent der gesamten Bevölkerung Kroatiens.[2]
Split ist eine bedeutende Hafenstadt und Sitz der katholischen Erzdiözese Split-Makarska. In Split befindet sich zudem die Universität Split. Die Ursprünge der Stadt sind auf den Diokletianspalast zurückzuführen. Die Innenstadt von Split mitsamt dem Diokletianspalast wurde 1979 von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt.
After a long time, I thought that I would post a shot of my layers technique of contrast control. The attached techniques in albumns are oldies and have some additions I have long since discovered. Ask.
After my Broley cleanups, I side tracked to a couple of early snaps at the old Ramey place, directly across from Broley. I noted that Ramey Ranch was on the 1800s road to Jamestown and Ward, early mountain mining camps. Well, this is definitely a sub-suburban housing location. Folks discovered that serving foods to the miners was more profitably assured than prospecting or mining. Well, my direction seems to have drifted toward old farm shots that avoided recent collapse, the assault of prairie castles and floods. Ooops it looks like the river floated foundations and lands downstream and caused your new split level house some problems. It did open up a new entrance however. It will be a lot easier and quicker to move into your new split level place.
I found this January shot while poking the back roads while in no particular hurry. I turned north onto 61st and found the gate open to the field next to the old abandoned Ramey Place north of Crane Hollow. If you pass by, you'll find a new roof on the old Boulder County un-Open Space Ramey house, not so much these outbuildings. Both Broley and Ramey farms have their own albums.
I pulled off the road, through the pasture gate to compose this and edited it as a break from my Broley posts. This place was a (cattle?) ranch; a Beaver slide hay rake is in front of the implement shed, left. This image captured detail with little gamut. I was faced with processing the capture and that takes some time if this contrasty. I worked at my job of separating the highlights and shadow details.
Saturday, I swung around McIntosh Lake and it looked like a local swap meet for the Trumandemic. Not a single face mask was in place. Mass immunity? No, mass stupidity! I passed them by in my truck and headed back while fending off Don Corona. Five to fourteen days. Five to fourteen days to an interesting understanding of real reality. I'll do my editing. I'd hoped that we could get some breaks from the 90-100 degree heat that blitzed me on yesterday's trek. We recently had a couple of relief days but the forecast gives us a string of 10 and more over normal, mid nineties to pour salt on our wounds. We never got a proper spring and jumped to summer this year again.
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
"All you need is love" is a lie 'cause
We had a love but we still said goodbye
Now we’re tired, battered fighters
And it stings when it nobody’s fault cause there's
Nothing to blame At the drop of your name
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left
So maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right
Sister's birthday Tomorrow
should be fun :)
"bands won't play no more"... once a thriving music venue.. 20 years of neglect and broken promises.
Piled carefully and artistically, fish for sale at the market near Split, in Croatia.
It was POURING rain, and puddles and rivers ran enthusiastically beneath the fruit and fish stands. The locals just ignored the weather, and continued to inspect the produce, stopping inside a wagon-cafe for a cup of coffee, where we were perched, looking out.
I loved that we were the only foreigners in sight!
