A reconstruction of Alexandria, looking west down the Canopic Way. The colonnade ran the length of the city, offering protection from the sun as well as a highly effective conduct for rumor. Set at the edge of an impossibly blue sea, Cleopatra’s Alexandria ranked as “the first city of the civilized world,” its fashion capital and seat of learning.

Ellis Island

27 Jul 2013 1 1 171
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Island Ellis Island was the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States as the site of the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892 to 1954. The island was greatly expanded with landfill between 1892 and 1934. Before that, the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine. It became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965, and since 1990, hosts a museum of immigration run by the National Park Service. A 1998 United States Supreme Court decision found most of the island to be part of New Jersey.

In School and College days there was an anti-establishment mentality amongst us all boys. Most of us were anti-Government in each aspect!! Now I understand what exactly it was. It was actually the part of "Crooked Timber of Humanity" as Immanual Kant nomenclatureedm

Hanalei Caves

www.kauai.com/wet-and-dry-caves Haniniholo, Waikanaloa & Waikapalae Wet Caves are located off the the main road in the Haena State Park and are easy to get to. Maniniholo Dry Cave is located directly across the street from Haena Beach Park. This large opening dry cave can be explored easily and is fun to explore with children. Maniniholo dry cave is 300 yards deep and leads to a small exit hole on the side of the mountain. The cave's interior used to be much larger but a 1957 tsunami partially filled the cave with sand. Take some time to explore this dry cave while visiting the North Shore

Perspective

27 Jul 2023 4 3 101
Perspective: the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point. Depth of Field: Depth of field is the area of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the subject which the lens is focused. Put simply, it refers to how blurry or sharp the area is around your subject. A shallow depth of field refers to a small area in focus. Often the subject is in focus, while the background is blurred.

DIALOGO DI GALILEOO GALILEILINGEO

16 Jan 2022 1 1 176
The front piece of Galileo’s ‘Dialogue’ (1632). Aristotle (left), shown as a feeble Old man; Ptolemy (centre), wearing a turban because he comes from Egypt; and Copernicus, wearing the clothes of a Polish priest, stand on the shore of the Floretie port of Livorno debating questions of physics and astronomy. But Copernicus looks nothing like the Image of Copernicus that appears in other source, where he is always portrayed as a young and clean-shaven . Indeed, the Latin translation by Bergnegger soon corrected this ‘error’, providing a more accurate representation of Copernicus. It seems Galileo has decided to present himself in the role of Copernicus. Over the heads of the three philosophers hangs the curtain which rises at the beginning of a theatrical performance -- a device that was used by Galileo’s engraver, Sterano della Bella, for the frontpieces of plays. Thus Galileo implies that the argument presented in the book are not to be regarded as true, for Copernicanism had been condemned by the Church. rauterberg.employee.id.tue.nl/lecturenotes/DDM110%20CAS/Galilei-1632%20Dialogue%20Concerning%20the%20Two%20Chief%20World%20Systems.pdf
