Today in Rome, heading down
Michelangelo’s Spanish Steps,
under an unchanging moon,
I held on to the balustrade,
grateful for his giving me a hand.
All for love, I stumbled over the past
as if it were my own feet. Here, in my twenties,
I was lost in love and poetry. Along the Tiber,
I made up Cubist Shakespearean games.
I played with an ignorant mirror for an audience:
myself, embroiled with personage
from Antony and Cleopatra. Delusions of grandeur!
They were for a time my foul-weather friends—
as once I played with soldiers
on the mountainous countryside of a purple blanket.

Imagini interesante.
Roma - mediul cultural si istoric e de apreciat.
I was there 3 years ago and I was so intent on getting the classical tourist shots. Like most other places I've been to, I need to go twice to look for different things. I like to look for repetition things like your St Peters chairs and columns
STUNNING -- SO MUCH TO SEE HERE, BECAME A FOLLOWER.

Vedi Roma e poi mori!
Foarte bine ai surprins frumusetea sculpturilor de acolo.Cred ca e un oras suprainbcarcat de istorie si cultura.
Beautiful Rome, and beautiful pictures.

Greetings from Spain, Wout’s fotobloG
Cu toate ca in cazul tau, cuvintele sunt de prisos, am sa incerc cateva ...
8827 - este favorita seriei - astept norii din Corfu ;)
8822 - nu ai cumva si varianta privita din unghiul opus? :D
8652 - tocmai am citit un articol pe descopera.ro. Se pare ca romanii inainte de a incalta sandalele isi puneau si ciorapii; desi in toate sculpturile si basoreliefurile nu se "intrevede" asa ceva.
8761 - nu e periculos sa te avanti asa in inaltimi... chiar daca te numesti "wind"?
PS: ar trebui sa iti optimizezi fotografiile pentru cautare. E pacat sa nu beneficieze si altii de ele.
Romania, i must visit.
Beautiful pictures.
Thanks!
Beautiful! Thank You.
