Split Tongue Crow played a tripple-billed show @ the Sumner Night Chapel as part of the Keene Music Festival series to benefit the restoration of the Chapel. A band new to me, I was blown away! Also in the lineup were Big Paws and Blackjack Crossing. Check out pictures of their sets as well, and go buy everyone's music, or better yet, see them live!

Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.
No trip to the North Shore (that's what we Minnesotan's call the upper east section of Minnesota that runs along the northern shore of Lake Superior) is complete without looking at the Split Rock Lighthouse. This is a popularly photographed icon of the North Shore, and this picture looks about like the 1,000,000 other pictures that have been taken of this location.
From the website:
The horrific shipwrecks of 1905 fueled the demand for a lighthouse along Superior's North Shore. The amazing construction process was completed in 1910, and the light at Split Rock shone until 1969. The history center's superb displays, exhibits, and video presentations showcase the evolution of the lighthouse. For a glimpse of this remote lifestyle, include a visit to the lighthouse keeper's home and outbuildings. (Did they really sleep in those little beds?) The path leading southwest down to Lake Superior presents a distinctive view of the lighthouse and remnants of the lift that was used to haul supplies up from the lake. Climb the short, steep circular stairs to the top of the lighthouse. Spend some time at this historic treasure!
6> Dinsdagochtend 1/5/2007 - Sightseeing Split
Nadat we hadden gedoucht vroeg onze gastvrouw of we thee wilden. We kregen er ook koekjes bij en aten deze samen met onze bananen en druiven als ontbijt. Toen we de binnenstad wilden gaan bekijken vroeg de gastvrouw of we even konden wachten. Ze belde bij de buren aan en een horde kinderen rende naar buiten. De oudste leek even oud als Eva, sprak vloeiend Engels en vroeg of we mee wilden lopen naar Marian. Wij wisten niet wie Marian was, maar dit bleek een heuvel te zijn die heel Split met de familie beklimt op vrije dagen. Dus ook op de Dag van de Arbeid. Onze gastvrouw loopt voor ons uit met de jongste kinderen. Eva en ik wisselen wat Engels uit met het oudste meisje. Ze blijkt al 14 jaar te zijn. Halverwege de berg kan het kleinste jongetje ons niet meer bijhouden, een voor een nemen we hem op de nek. Bovenaan de berg was het nog drukker dan op de weg ernaar toe. Een fanfare band speelde muziek en er waren allemaal kraampjes ingericht. Vanwege de dag van de arbeid droegen veel mensen een rde anjer bij zich. Eva en ik vonden het wel weer mooi geweest. We lieten hen achter bij de fanfare en lopen terug omlaag naar de oude stad. Het centrum is voor een groot deel gebouwd binnen de muren van een 1700 jaar oud Romeins paleis. Via trappetjes kon je over de daken en door smalle steegjes lopen. In de loop der eeuwen is de hele ruimte tussen de paleismuren volgebouwd met huizen. Maar overal waren resten van Romeinse muren, zuilen en poorten te zien. Via de markt liepen we naar de haven om te kijken of we met een veerpont naar een van de eilanden voor de kust konden gaan. Maar omdat we op internet hadden gezien dat het donderdag slecht weer zou worden besloten we op het vaste land te blijven en langs de kust verder te trekken. Er bleek al binnen een kwartier een bus naar het plaatsje Trogir te vertrekken, een klein eilandje dat per brug vanaf het vaste land te bereiken is. Eva bleef bij het busstation wachten terwijl ik als een speer op en neer naar het pension rende om onze bagage op te halen.
Our guide in Split: “Anyways, don’t worry. You will be seeing the sewer system.”

No matter which side I go, I'll always prefer Nikon for my photographic needs. It's just a personal preference. Been clicking with my DSLR, beginning in June 2011 and ever since, I've owned DSLRs from Nikon only.
I held a triangular and used the total internal reflection property for this image.
After arriving in Split the next morning on the overnight from Zagreb, we took 2062 107 on the 07.07 local to Perkovic, and then back on the 08.25 to Split, where the train can be seen here after arrival.
