For #frescofriday the extraordinary 'black room' from the imperial villa at Boscotrecase, dating to the end of the first century BC. It might look dark and gloomy now, but the walls would originally have been burnished to a glossy finish, filling the room with almost magical reflected candlelight.

Costume suggestions for #FrescoFriday #Halloween from a #fresco from the #domus of the #Farnesina, 30-20 BCE: this odd pair of women in long chitons, one in front with a shield on her head topped with olive branches, and another taller woman behind, holding a menacing little saw. #AncientBluesky 🏺

These frescoes decorate a room in the house of Vigna Guidi, c. AD 130s. It was partly destroyed & buried, like the whole neighborhood adjacent to Porta Capena, to make way for the great complex of the Baths of Caracalla, built above it from 212 AD on.

This photograph was taken along the trail to Spray Falls in Mount Rainier National Park. The waterfall started disappearing from cloud cover shortly after we arrived. I had to stop along the trail to capture this group of trees, as the background was slowly engulfed by approaching fog.
