Keats House

Donall Dempsey
Keats House is a museum in a house once occupied by the Romantic poet John Keats. It is in Keats Grove, Hampstead, north London. Maps prior to ca.1915 show the road with one of its earlier names, John Street; the road has also been known as Albion Grove. The building was originally a pair of semi-detached houses known as "Wentworth Place". John Keats lodged in one of them with his friend Charles Brown from December 1818 to September 1820. These were perhaps Keats's most productive years. According to Brown, "Ode to a Nightingale" was written under a plum tree in the garden.

Snake River at Twin Falls, Idaho

Jimmy ThePeach
Quite a view of the Snake River as I pull into Twin Falls, Idaho. Parked at a scenic overlook and took some pictures. Imagine the first vehicles on the Oregon Trail here were dune buggies and what a surprise the Snake Canyon would be at 60 MPH. Oops, there goes Cletus. He, uh, plumb drove right into that there canyon.
That reminds me, in 1974, Evel Knievel tried to jump the Snake River Canyon on a rocket propelled motorcycle. He did not succeed but, at least he got farther than Cletus.

The East River is a tidal strait in New York City. It connects Upper New York Bay on its south end to Long Island Sound on its north end. It separates Long Island (including the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn) from the island of Manhattan and the Bronx on the North American mainland.
In reference to its connection to Long Island Sound, it was once also known as the Sound River.

Finnish sauna:
naked among the people
a nouveau riche
I considered "Finnish sauna" a winter topic - it can be used all the year but in our mind traditional Finnish sauna comes always located in snowy landscape. Also its hotness speaks in that way...

Aphrodisias,Turkey ---
not a sexual aid just
an old city
Fred Masarani
Aphrodisias (Greek: Ἀφροδισιάς, Aphrodisiás) was a small city in Caria, on the southwest coast of Asia Minor. Its site is located near the modern village of Geyre, Turkey, about 230 km (140 mi) south-east of İzmir and about 100 km (62 mi) inland from the coast.
Aphrodisias was named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, who had here her unique cult image, the Aphrodite of Aphrodisias.
