    Pompei

    26. juni 2024, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    1. Is a farm house that shows just how much volcanic ash fell over the area.
    2. These are stepping stone people would use to cross the street.
    3. This is a fast food restaurant back in the day.
    4. This gives you and idea how close the volcano is and how many building are currently closer to the volcano then Pompei.
    5. This was the stadium in Pompei that is now hosting music concerts.
    6. The last two pictures are court yards that where commonly shared between a few different residences.    Les mer

    Castel Sant'Angelo

    2. juli 2024, Italia ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Was originally built as a mausoleum for a Roman emperor but was stripped of all its marble then turned into a fort and then a prison and now a museum. Overall I was not impressed.

    Capitoline Museums

    3. juli 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    The first picture is a replica of a marble statue made in ancient Roman times. The museum had pieces of the original statue on display. There is a person in the lower right of the picture for scale.

    Centrale Montemartini

    3. juli 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    This museum was a power plant where they have the old equipment on display plus some other Roman artifacts.
    1 and 2. Originally the power plant had two diesel generators that produced 5,500kw of power from each engine for a total power output of 11,000kw
    3. Is one of the connecting rods inside the diesel engine.
    4. Is the alternator connected to the engine that produced electricity.
    5 and 6. In 1940 they added a steam turbine that used coal to generate steam and it was rated at 20,000kw. These are pictures of the steam boiler where the steam was produced. This would bring the total power output of the power plant to 31,000kw. A modern nuclear power plant produced 5,000,000kw of power, which is a lot of AC units.
    The rest of the pictures are some other stuff in the museum.    Les mer

    Rome

    3. juli 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    These are some pictures I took around Rome.
    1, 2, 3. Grand marble neoclassical temple honoring Italy's first king & First World War soldiers.
    4. A bridge over railway tracks, seemed like it was way more bridge then needed.
    5. This is a drinking fountain where the water runs continuously and they are all over Rome. Apparently the water comes from the same spring the Romans built their aqueducts to and there is more fresh water then they know what to do with.    Les mer

    Lecco

    7. juli 2024, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    I feel like the words hiking trails have a different meaning in the Alpes then they do in Austin. The day after I hiked this trail someone was medevacked off the mountain by a helicopter.
    To my complete surprise half way up the mountain there was a restaurant. I looked it and it is ran by a hiking club in town. The last two pictures show the restaurant and the cable car they use to move supplies up and down the mountain.Les mer
