With the Covid-19 madness still showing no sign of abating, it was time to dig back into my archives and look for some photographs from our last trip abroad. This shot was taken in January of 2020 and shows the Roman Forum in the early afternoon. The majesty of these ruins does tend to reduceContinue reading “The Eternal City in January”

Italy. Again!
My heart is breaking right now, for the suffering of my belovèd Italy, due to the Covid-19 outbreak . This photograph was taken on our last trip to Rome, in January of this year. I hope fervently to return there soon.
Willow the Ginger Beauty
I’ve shown you this gorgeous girl before: it’s Willow. Like probably most of the country right now, my wife and I are avoiding going out unless it’s necessary.

Au Clair de la Lune…

Better yet: there is a mirror telescope sitting still in its box, in our garage, and I would love to get that rigged up and head to a place called RomneyContinue reading “Au Clair de la Lune…”
Italy Street Scene
Italy is quite possibly my favourite place in the world, and we visited Rome in January of 2020. This photograph was shot near to Vatican City (41°54’8.244″ N 12°27’34.174″ E). When we first got to this street, there was a young couple sitting on the stairs, and although that might have ticked the ‘romantic’ box,Continue reading “Italy Street Scene”
