Foro Romano
El Foro Romano (en latín, Forum Romanum, aunque los romanos se referían a él comúnmente como Forum Magnum o simplemente Forum) era el foro de la ciudad de Roma, es decir, la zona central —semejante a las plazas centrales en las ciudades actuales— donde se encuentran las instituciones de gobierno, de mercado y religiosas. Al igual que hoy en día, era donde tenían lugar el comercio, los negocios, la prostitución, la religión y la administración de justicia. En él se situaba el hogar comunal.
Series de restos de pavimento muestran que sedimentos erosionados desde las colinas circundantes ya estaban elevando el nivel del foro en la primera época de la República. Originalmente había sido un terreno pantanoso, que fue drenado por los Tarquinios mediante la Cloaca Máxima. Su pavimento de travertino definitivo, que aún puede verse, data del reinado de César Augusto.
Actualmente es famoso por sus restos, que muestran elocuentemente el uso de los espacios urbanos durante el Imperio romano. El Foro Romano incluye los siguientes monumentos, edificios y demás ruinas antiguas importantes:
Templo de Cástor y Pólux
Templo de Rómulo
Templo de Saturno
Templo de Vesta
Casa de las Vestales
Templo de Venus y Roma
Templo de César
Basílica Emilia
Basílica Julia
Arco de Septimio Severo
Arco de Tito
Rostra (plural de rostrum), la tribuna desde donde los políticos daban sus discursos a los ciudadanos romanos.
Curia Julia, sede del Senado.
Basílica de Majencio y Constantino
Tabulario
Templo de Antonino y Faustina
Regia
Templo de Vespasiano y Tito
Templo de la Concordia
Templo de Jano
Un camino procesional, la Vía Sacra, cruza el Foro Romano conectándolo con el Coliseo. Al final del Imperio perdió su uso cotidiano quedando como lugar sagrado.
El último monumento construido en el Foro fue la Columna de Focas. Durante la Edad Media, aunque la memoria del Foro Romano persistió, los edificios fueron en su mayor parte enterrados bajo escombros y su localización, la zona entre el monte Capitolino y el Coliseo, fue designada Campo Vaccinio o ‘campo bovino’. El regreso del papa Urbano V desde Aviñón en 1367 despertó un creciente interés por los monumentos antiguos, en parte por su lección moral y en parte como cantera para construir nuevos edificios. Se extrajo gran cantidad de mármol para construcciones papales (en el Vaticano principalmente) y para cocer en hornos creados en el mismo foro para hacer cal. Miguel Ángel expresó en muchas ocasiones su oposición a la destrucción de los restos. Artistas de finales del siglo XV dibujaron las ruinas del Foro, los anticuarios copiaron inscripciones desde el siglo XVI y se comenzó una excavación profesional a finales del siglo XVIII. Un cardenal tomó medidas para drenarlo de nuevo y construyó el barrio Alessadrine sobre él. No obstante, la excavación de Carlo Fea, quien empezó a retirar los escombros del Arco de Septimio Severo en 1803, y los arqueólogos del régimen napoleónico marcaron el comienzo de la limpieza del Foro, que no fue totalmente excavado hasta principios del siglo XX.
En su estado actual, se muestran juntos restos de varios siglos, debido a la práctica romana de construir sobre ruinas más antiguas.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history.Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1:2-4) It can often times be hard to understand why we go through trials, and we often lack a mature perspective in the midst of them. It is an opportunity for us to grow and for our character to be built up.

When the night comes
And you lay your weary head to rest
No more trials, no tests
When the night comes
When the night comes
You dont have to be afraid
Of any choice you made
When the night comes
Dont be afraid
Youre only dreaming(repeat)
When the night comes
The headlines read
Whatevers in your dreams
When the night comes
When the night comes
And you lay by the one you love
The one who knows you and the things you do
When the night comes
Dont be afraid
Youre only dreaming(repeat)
When the night comes(repeat)

Another upload of the first log trial run from Aberystwyth earlier this year and following on from the approach shot previously uploaded.
97304 "John Tiley" and 97303 "Dave Berry" are on the sharp end with 6C55, the 19:56 Aberystwyth Run Round Loop to Chirk Kronospan, skirting the River Dovey and nearing Dovey Junction in low light, Friday 29/4/22.
There was a trial running logs from Aberystwyth back in 2005, but strangely, it was top and tailed by MPV's, lets hope this latest trial develops into a regular working, at least the traction is better this time around!

First day of harvest was kind of disaster. The GPS on the combine had issues so it took an hour to even get going. When I went to unload the first wagon, our overhead wet corn holding bin sprung a leak,scattering about 20 bushels of corn all over the grain dryer. Finally,when emptying out the combine for the day, someone had left the door of the wagon just a little open, so there was another 20 bushels left on the ground. Oh,how I look forward to today! LOL
Looking into the teeth of a gale howling inland off the Great Southern Ocean. Trial Harbour near Zeehan on Tasmania's West Coast.
Wild day with plenty of weather and lots of wash amongst the reefs. The West Coast has the longest fetch of any stretch of water on the planet. Hard to imagine this was a harbour at one point in Tasmania's recent history.
The shot is actually a two frame stitch. The left and right side frames each lacked a little of the other so I spliced 'em :-)

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this girl's hair, but today she made the smallest argument toward no bangs.

Trial Island in Oak Bay, British Columbia. The Olympic Mountains in Washington State on the horizon.
I don’t want to confuse anyone, but I always refer to the youngsters as Great Brown Herons because they are still dressed in their juvenile colors and are not yet wearing those gray and blue tinted feathers that the adults wear. There were three of these youngsters on the bayou on this particular morning attempting to figure out just what is and what is not edible. I doubt they need the ruffage so that twig that this one has picked up will do nothing to satisfy its hunger. I’m guessing that it’s a steep learning curve for these juveniles and very puzzling. A pair of lost souls in the shallow area of Horsepen Bayou.
I guess that we could call this floundering around even though there are no flounders being caught.

Using an image on my very old iPhone and adding a 'texture' from 'Formulas'. app. First try... looking forward to more experimentation. Fun!
This cruise ship has just departed Victoria and is passing Trial Island Light house. Notice the rip tide which is can be quite hazardous for small vessels.
On this day the rising sun appeared so much larger than usual and was easy to expose. Thank goodness for haze, atmospheric conditions, or whatever caused it.
Victoria, B.C.
