🇦🇺 pays $1.5mil per person each year to detain people on Nauru.

One of my favourite plants in the garden at this time of the year is this smoke bush, Cotinus ‘Grace’. Its dark purple leaves transform into the most extraordinary, glowing colours, in shades of oranges and reds! #DailyBotanicalBeauty #gardening

Did The Romans Descend Into Any Caves That Were Supposed To Be Entrances To The Underworld?
There is nothing remotely Elysian about the Phlegræan Fields; nothing sylvan, nothing green. The Fields, which lie on the north shore of the Bay of Naples, are part of the caldera of a volcano that is the twin of Vesuvius, the destroyer of Pompeii, a few miles to the east. The volcano is still active, but, today, its most obvious feature is this barren, rubble-strewn plateau. Fire bursts from the rocks in places, and clouds of sulphurous gas snake out of vents that lead up from deep underground.
