history reflected

spent a couple go lovely, warm days in the heart of history. i love this city.

weekly photo challenge: enveloped

stroll along the tiber river in rome, enveloped by trees generously sharing some shadow against the hot italian sun. life can be so nice.

colours will come

hard to believe, but spring will come. i know for sure (that’s me trying to convince myself) that the cold morning frost will give away, the colours will come. the freeze outside is just a bad april’s fool game.

from the desert bloom to the setting sun
from the first deep breath of “I love you, baby”
colours will come

out in the fields

there is a rider passing by. say hello, wave goodbye.

weekly photo challenge: reflections (of rome)

almost a year ago by now, a couple of days in rome. i had this idea of doing a post with a few photos of (ancient) rome mirrored in cars, shop windows and other modern things. this weeks photo challenge made me go from thought to realization. sometimes i need that kick in the b. 

weekly photo challenge: inside caffè greco

time stands still. the winds of history gently sweeps around your hand as you lift that espresso from the bar counter to drink. isn’t it keats sitting there in corner? yes! and byron as well. i think i need another coffee to wake me up.

weekly photo challenge: object

could i see a potential objection to the objectification of the object in matter?…

for the sake of reference i should have had someone in the picture as well, the hand is as big as i am.

weekly photo challenge: inside

it’s the inside that counts, right? who needs fashion when you have style…

those of you who look will find which well known italian brand this model is posing for. caught this on via condotti in rome when i passed a fashion photo session, i assume for advertisements.

out of season

chestnuts are fall, not may – so these sold close to fontana di trevi must be imported. and could il signore selling them potentially be a bit displeased with that?

was it worth it?

if you ask me, yes it was.
