Perseids colour festival

Dear Friends
although all around us is quiet or disquiet, but immersed in its traditional routine, the impetuoust Perseids meteor shower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseids ), near to the max. of its paroxysm, is strongly influencing our Earth; fortunately avoiding to hurt its surface and our heads. In Munich the shower is not appreciable because the sun light in the day and the cloudy sky the night mask its lights. However, the EurAstro Radio Station (EARS), operated by myself, as can be seen from the images, arrives to document the furious disruption radio emissions it produces. I am a bit sad of not having the possibility to send you the bings and the rustlings forming the song of the Perseids.

Garden of Eden in Verona ? - 3

Dear Friends
Do you think that the Garden of Eden can be ameliorate ? Certainly not. But the Garden of Eden in Verona (http://www.destination360.com/europe/italy/verona/giardino-giusti) certainly yes. Let me say that I am still disappointed after having seen during the walking in the garden, practically at the end of the visit, that the magnificent Venus of the Garden and the two possible nimpheums, near the Belvedere and the Labyrinth, are in complete abandon after the start of the works for their restoration and valorisation. Lack of founding ? Administrative delays ? Other complications ? Unfortunately, I don't know.

Garden of Eden in Verona ? - 2

Dear Friends
having not yet had the possibility to be, as traditionally in summer, in Brittany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany), I cannot propose you the classic images coming from the botanic garden of the Abbey of Daoulas (http://www.brittanytourism.com/discover-brittany/islands-and-headlands/presqu-ile-de-plougastel-and-daoulas-abbey). However, I find that the Giusti garden, "Garden of Eden" in Verona (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Verona-140824/Off_the_Beaten_Path-Verona-Giardino_Giusti-BR-1.html), provides a valuable alternative to that garden. You don't believe it ? See the images and tell me your opinion.

Garden of Eden in Verona ? - 1

Dear Friends
being in Verona, I spent part of my afternoon of Saturday 02/08/14 in visiting the historical Giardino Giusti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Giusti) built at the end of 1400 by Agostino Giusti Knight of the Venetian Republic and Gentleman of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, visited not only by me evidently, but among the other also by Cosimo De' Medici (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosimo_de'_Medici), the German Emperor Joseph II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_II,_Holy_Roman_Emperor), the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe) and the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart). The warm, coloured and peaceful atmosphere of the garden and its vegetation labyrinth, inevitably conveyed to me, and I hope will suggest also to you too, the idea of the peace of the Garden of Eden, place of all delights.
