Ponte Rotto


The Emilio bridge (Pons Aemilius), today “Ponte Rotto”, is the oldest Roman stone bridge in Rome,. Preceded by a wooden version, it was stone since the 1st century BC.
Il Ponte Emilio (Pons Aemilius), oggi “Ponte Rotto”, è il più antico ponte di pietra romano a Roma,. Preceduto da una versione di legno, era stato costruito in pietra fin dal I secolo AC.


A single arch in mid-river is all that remains today.
un solo arco in mezzo-fiume è tutto quello che rimane oggi.


A good weekend to all!

Tous ces merveilleux détails que tu nous révèles jour après jour (ah ! Cet enfant ? séparant deux fabuleux lions ailés)... C'est comme si tu nous peignais les traits d'une épouse tendrement choyée alors que moi avec mes messages sur San Francisco je dévoile un amant de passage...

I love the detail in the top photograph of what seems like a man holding apart two creatures who might be wanting to fight.

"Are you mad about what has been happening inside Iran these days? Well then take a deep breath... blow it all into a Green Balloon... and wait until Friday afternoon to send it up to the sky, wherever you are on this planet. Millions of Iranians inside Iran are planning to paint the sky green on Friday exactly at 1pm Tehran time. The non-violent green movement is being cracked down on the ground, so lets take it to the sky."
