A few years ago, we spent 3 weeks driving Italy, Milan, Lake Garda, Cinqu Terre, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Tuscany & we finished on Amalfi, Ravello, Capri, Sorrento, it was one of the best holidays we’ve had, & we drove this road, unreal 🇮🇹👌

NEW: Rescue bid for woman stranded 22,000ft up mountain with broken leg called off after 10 days as bad weather hampers efforts and one rescuer dies
Natalia “Natasha” Nagovitsina, 47, is trapped at 22,965 feet on Victory Peak in Kyrgyzstan
She was injured on August 12, and her partner went down the mountain to get help
Drone footage showed her still moving as recently as three days ago
Temperatures have dropped to -23C, and multiple rescue attempts failed, including helicopter efforts
Italian climber Luca Sinigaglia, 49, reached her and delivered supplies but could not bring her down
@TheCinesthetic The raw, jagged energy of “Armenia” by the Einstürzende Neubauten is also a great choice. I often play it to revive the scene while driving in my car.
@Rainmaker1973 Interesting! Could that mean that summers on the Southern hemisphere are generally warmer (perihelion), and winters on the Southern hemisphere generally colder (aphelion) than on the Northern hemisphere?
It's perihelion day, Today.
In Northern Hemisphere we're right in the middle of winter, but Earth is actually at its closest position to the Sun.
Today the Earth is 5 million kilometeres closer to the Sun than it is are in early July.
So why isn't hotter than in July? Because Earth's tilt (and not its distance from the Sun) causes seasons.
Op deze dag in 1914 begon de (eerste) Slag bij de Marne die tot 12 september zou duren. De Slag eindigde in een overwinning van de geallieerden op de Duitsers, maar de kosten waren enorm hoog aan beide kanten: 68.000 Duitse, 80.000 Franse en 1700 Engelse soldaten kwamen om
Morgen loop ik de @CPCLoopDenHaag. Toch al snel 1 uur 45 minuten aan muziek wat ik dan nodig heb. Welk nummer mag absoluut NIET ontbreken op mijn hardlooplijst?
Mooiste citaat over geschiedenis? Ik zoek wat inspiratie
