A vivid fragment from a small Pompeian house near the House of Menander. This wall painting once decorated a garden space and shows wild beasts in motion — here, a lion in pursuit of its prey. Part of a larger cycle of hunting scenes and exotic landscapes, it blends myth, nature, and imagination in true Third Style fashion. A glimpse into the vibrant visual world that once animated everyday life in ancient Pompeii.

Uwajima Castle (宇和島城, Uwajimajō) is one of only twelve original castles that survived intact from the Edo Period (1603-1868). The small but atmospheric castle was built around the turn of the 17th century and was later refurbished when the Date family took over ownership in 1615. The castle stands on a hill which was situated just by the sea in the past, but land reclamation along the coast has resulted in it standing further inland today.

The high-rise building known as Calusa Harbour (historically spelled Caloosa) is a landmark waterfront property located at 2525 First Street in historic downtown Fort Myers, Florida. Constructed in 1980, the building has a rich history centered on its transition from a modern riverfront development to an award-winning senior living community.
Construction and Early History
The building was constructed during a period of downtown expansion along the Caloosahatchee River. Designed to maximize waterfront vistas, the high-rise features a distinct white facade and a tiered architecture reminiscent of a cruise ship. It was named in honor of the Calusa (or Caloosa), the indigenous "Shell Kings" who originally ruled the Southwest Florida coast and engineered the region's first complex waterways.
Transition to Senior Living
In the decades following its construction, the high-rise shifted away from general commercial/residential use to specialize entirely in luxury eldercare. It established a reputation as the only community in the immediate downtown area to provide a full continuum of care under one roof. Management responsibilities have transferred across leading healthcare groups over the decades, moving from Sunrise Senior Living and Five-Star Senior Living to its current operations by Sinceri Senior Living.
Modern Status & Milestones
Today, the property functions as a resort-style senior community housing up to 175 beds. In December 2025, the building celebrated its landmark 45th anniversary with a city gala, anchoring its legacy as one of the longest-standing, trusted senior care establishments in Lee County. It continues to be highly rated nationally, earning honors such as a U.S. News & World Report Best Senior Living designation.
