"Exploring the World Through the Lens of Roa: From Brooklyn Bridge to Otago Peninsula" Step back in time to 1899, as we stroll along the pedestrian promenade of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Captured through a stereograph view, this photograph transports us to an era when this architectural marvel was still relatively new. Venturing across continents, our next stop takes us to Yellow Point on Broad Bay and Otago Peninsula in Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand. The breathtaking landscapes and serene waters captivate our senses, reminding us of nature's unparalleled beauty. Journeying further south within the United States brings us to Canton town square in Mississippi's Deep South. Along the historic Natchez Trace trail lies this charming town square that exudes Southern charm and hospitality. Delving into history once again, we find ourselves amidst 16th-century Mexico with Antonio de Roa—an Augustinian missionary who left an indelible mark on his surroundings. His legacy lives on as we imagine him traversing these ancient lands centuries ago. Traveling eastward towards Asie (Asia), we encounter Stefano della Bella's artistic creation from 1644. This evocative piece invites us into a world where imagination meets reality—a testament to human creativity throughout history. Giuseppe Canale's masterpiece "Gods and Goddesses in a Landscape" beckons us further into artistry's realm. Painted between 1740-1802, it showcases mythical figures harmoniously coexisting with nature—a reminder of humanity's fascination with divine tales. Our journey now leads us to Saint-Germain-en-Laye in France—home to Ancien Hotel de Noailles. This grand structure stands as a testament to French architecture while whispering stories of past elegance and sophistication. Nature calls once more as we venture near Balclutha along Clutha River—the heartland of South Otago, New Zealand.
