Night shot. You can see an arched bridge over a river, illuminated in red. Behind it, you can see houses and an illuminated church.

Remembering
Robert Nesta Marley
on the anniversary of his birth in 1945 ... forever 36 🎂

Born in Nine Mile, Jamaica, Marley began his career in 1963, after forming the group Teenagers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, which became the Wailers.

Further info in the alt text 👇
In 1965, they released their debut studio album, The Wailing Wailers, which included the single "One Love", a reworking of "People Get Ready". The Wailers released 11 more studio albums, and after signing to Island Records, changed their name to Bob Marley and the Wailers. They began engaging in rhythmic-based song construction in the late 1960s-70s, which coincided with Marley's conversion to Rastafari. Around this time, Marley relocated to London. The band gained international attention after signing to Island and touring in support of the albums Catch a Fire and Burnin' (both 1973). After their disbandment a year later, Marley carried on under the band's name. The album Natty Dread (1974) received positive reviews. In 1975, following the global popularity of Eric Clapton's version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff", Marley had his international breakthrough with his first hit outside Jamaica, a live version of "No Woman, No Cry", from the Live! album, followed by his breakthrough album in the US, Rastaman Vibration (1976), which reached the Top 50 of the Billboard Soul Charts. Marley survived a politically motivated assassination attempt at his home in Jamaica. He permanently relocated to London, where he recorded the album Exodus, which had commercial and critical success. In 1977, Marley was diagnosed with acral lentiginous melanoma; he died in May 1981, and he received a state funeral in Jamaica. The greatest hits album Legend was released in 1984 and became the best-selling reggae album of all time. Marley also ranks as one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of more than 75 million records worldwide. In February 1981, 3 months before his death, Marley was honoured with a designated Order of Merit, Jamaica's highest honor related to people involved with either the arts, literature or science. In 1994, Marley was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A black and white photograph of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, featuring its iconic dome and classical architecture. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds. A London bus marked “100” is visible on the right side of the image, along with traffic lights and pedestrians crossing the street in the foreground. Trees partially frame the scene on both sides.

The image shows the iconic entrance to The Savoy Hotel in London. The perspective is from the middle of the driveway, which is lined with high end cars on one side and topiary on the other, leading into the hotel, with a person walking away from the camera toward the entrance. There is a grand canopy in bright silver over the entrance with the word “SAVOY” in large capital letters and golden statue of a knight above this surrounded by flags.

A weathered stone archway frames an open, ornate metal gate on the right and a tall, narrow evergreen on the left. Beyond the arch, a shaded stone path leads down toward a calm pond, bordered by grasses and wildflowers, with mature trees casting dappled sunlight across the lush green landscape.
