The birth of the building is to be seen officially on 25 January 1240, when the Emperor Federico II Hohenstaufen ordered the construction of a castle dedicated to Sancta Maria de Monte. The structure of the building is strongly esoteric and dense of symbols. The emperor was very loved in Italy and Germany. He speaked multiple languages: Latin, Arabic, Greek, German, Italian. The first treaty about the falconry was written by this extraordinary man, called Stupor Mundi for his culture. This treaty is still used.

Molto bene EDV. It is like a fairy tale come to life. The FDR gives it a surreal effect. It looks like it could have been a post for the contest. Another masterpiece straight from Italia.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL THE CANADIANS, which is the Oct. 12.
Heavy Frost this morning only 3C out.
Ed - The post-photo work creates an image that almost looks like a computer rendering from a role-playing game. Wow! Thad

GO TWINS!!! ... AL Central Champs!
To think it's that old is incredible. I like what you did with it, with the sky almost looking like it's on fire and the superb textures in the building.
