These virtual ruins & the music reminded me of one of the largest Romanian amphitheatre that I had the opportunity to visit a few years ago. It was built in the 3rd century in the city of Thysdrus, today called El Jem, in Tunisia. It’s the 3rd largest one in the world after the amphitheatres of Rome & Capua both located in Italy. (See pictures of their ruins in comments.)
Italy & Tunisia were once part of the same Empire.
Understanding our History helps us understand our present & it helps us anticipate our future with more discernment. And all of that is meant to help us avoid repeating the past mistakes.

Together In Unity – to all our American friends – Together We Stand.
I hope so much that the economy will improve , war will end and we all can find common ground.
This is Peace Arch on the Canada – USA border in sort of no-man's land . I used to go shopping to US often but not in few years. I just HATE how everyone is assumed to be a criminal , all the questions …. why , where , how long …. smile here is a big guy with a rubber glove. Last year I was returning on the long flight to Vancouver and … Canada Border Services gives me litany of questions and I politely answered few of them but when he started to ask me why I was traveling by myself only and so one - I just had enough and give him my 5 cents.
“
- Look ! It has be really long day , I have nothing to declare , all my paper work is in order , you can send me to be searched – I really don't care. I have 2 passports Canadian and Polish . Would you like to know what I was told by Polish Customs offices when I arrived in Poland ?
- What ?
- Welcome home ! … and than that fellow smiled . How difficult would it be for you guys to learn something like that !
- Go ! Just go !
and he gave me my passport

Unity Temple is a Unitarian Universalist church in Oak Park, Illinois, and the home of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation. It was designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and built between 1905 and 1908. Unity Temple is considered to be one of Wright's most important structures dating from the first decade of the twentieth century. (Wikipedia)

Wow what's going on?! The last picture has over 10000 views that's insane! Thank you so much! I appreciate every single view, comment and fav!
Yesterday I had time to test my new sigma 35mm lense. I'm quite enthusiastic it's sharp as a razor and pretty quick. But I have to become hardened to the 35mm it's a pretty big difference to my old 50mm...
This is a beautiful and big field of puppies on the "island" Reichnau, so much red and purple at this spot. Loved to take photos there but unfortunately it was a bit early in the evening and the sun was pretty bright...
I wish you a great weekend and always good light:)
The Chapel of Unity in Coventry Cathedral was born immediately after the bombing, when it was decided that any new cathedral should have a space where Christians of all denominations could come together. Slightly to the ecclesiastical north of the main building, it is separated from it by a light-filled passage. The interior is lit rather dimly by thin strips of stained glass, funded by a gift from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Germany. The mosaic floor was designed by Einar Forseth, who also designed the “Swedish Windows” by the lady chapel.
Just occasionally people tell me they don’t like Coventry Cathedral. I couldn’t disagree more; a powerful symbol of Resurrection, restored to a very different life barely twenty years after being destroyed in the Blitz on 14 November 1940. The Modernist Cathedral of St Michael of the 20th Century both surrounded by and incomprehensible without the ruins of 14th Century building that surrounds it.
Coventry Cathedral incarnates the twin and interconnected British revivals of the two decades after the end of the Second World War – a revival of high culture and a revival of Christian faith. Basil Spence’s cathedral housing Jacob Epstein’s sculptures, John Piper’s massive arrangements of stained glass into windows, and Graham Sutherland’s tapestry, still in 2021 the largest in the world, represent collectively a totemic achievement in modernist visual arts and architecture.
The brief for the competition to select the architect of the new Cathedral demanded that the design emphasise the celebration of the Eucharist; Spence himself had a further vision of the building as the repository of great modern works of art. He described his building as “a plain jewel casket”. Piper’s windows cast shafts of colour into the heart of the nave, while the plain glass West Screen, which faces to the geographical south, allows much natural light into the building, essential given that the east end is entirely filled with Graham Sutherland’s great tapestry, still the largest in the world at 22 metres tall by 12 metres wide.
Coventry Cathedral was built to a tight budget – “not more than £985,000” – and making much use of reinforced concrete, the new cathedral was constructed in just six years, between Queen Elizabeth II laying the foundation stone on 23 March 1956 and the dedication ceremony on 25 May 1962.
Could there have been a finer or more appropriate setting for the world première of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem on 30 May 1962? On that night, the Cathedral’s great post-War religious theme was also incarnated in the three soloists: Peter Pears (Britten’s partner) from the host nation, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau from Germany, Galina Vishnevskaya from the USSR, representing three belligerent nations. That tri-national partnership continues to be symbolised by the presence of a replica of the Stalingrad Madonna given by the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, where the original hangs, with a second copy being in Kazan Cathedral in Volgograd.
A building that breathes with the presence of the Holy Spirit, giving new life the Church in every generation.

Unity, By Simon Donovan and Ben Olmstead, Tucson, AZ
"For the Grant Road Improvement Project Phase 2, Simon Donovan & Ben Olmstead were selected to complete artwork for the project. The sculpture they created is called Unity and is comprised of five figures, three female, two male. Each one is approximately 10 feet tall. They stand in a circle facing outward, holding hands and leaning far forward. They would tumble forward if not for the cooperation, trust, and collective effort that is required in forming an unbroken ring. Thus the title "Unity".
"The sculpture is made of hundreds of parallel, vertically aligned stainless steel plates, each held 1 inch apart. The result is a study of figures with a shifting perception of form as one moves around the sculpture. Additionally, it will be illuminated with amber colored LED lights at night."

Taken at night, the bow of Pontypridd's Unity sculpture is looking resplendent following a recent repaint.
The sculpture was designed by Andy Hazell and installed in 2009. It represents three iconic parts of Pontypridd's history. First, the depiction of the old bridge, engineered in 1756 by William Edwards. Second, the railway - once Pontypridd had one of the longest railway platforms in the country and was one of the busiest as coal ("black gold") was transported down to the sea from the many collieries to the north of Pontypridd. Third, the bow of the ship represents both the coal that fuelled the naval fleet and the Brown Lenox chainworks which stood nearby, and supplied chains to Isambard Kingdom Brunel and others.

"A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure". - Chaplin on "The Tramp"
Chaplin's final speech in 'The Great Dictator':
"I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost….
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
o those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. …..
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"

The Lincoln Memorial honors, the 16th president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was one of those rare leaders that changed the course of history and as a result, is considered one of the greatest presidents in American history. He was responsible for abolishing slavery, holding the country together during the Civil War, and providing successful reconciliation afterwards. Unfortunately due to his controversial efforts towards unity and equality, he was also the first American president to be assassinated.

An even smaller version than my previous model (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright). This version uses only 123 pieces.
This is a black and white version of the Unity school. The school is over 100 years old. If you look through my photo stream you will see that I rarely convert images to B&W. This is because I usually like the color version better. However, on rare occasion I like the B&W version better. This is one such instance and I feel this version does the image more justice and has more mood to it.

# Boys from Papua and Java
I met these boys at Demak Education Expo.
They said they were students of Latansa *Latansa (Aribic) means not to forgot* Yunior High School
They was perform a Javanese-Sumatra traditional martial art called Pencak Silat.
But what make me interested is, their unity in diversity.
Some came from Papua-eastern Indonesia, some were Javanese-West and Central.
Different races, colors skin, and Island where they born, also different tongue to speak Indonesia, were melt when they play together.
But when I ask them for a photo, the Papua boys seems shy.
They were a bit afraid to watch straight to my lens!
Or perhaps afraid of me?
Oh well, dear.. I am not that frightening!
As a teacher, I did want to protest to their teacher, how did you educate their personality?
Nothing to afraid for!
Nothing to shame!
Where ever you came, we live in one earth in equality.
As our nation motto, Bhineka Tunggal Ika ~ Unity in diversity.
So please, be proud!
Stand straight, lift your face, and smile!
You and I, we, were, are same!
