One of the things that struck me most in Rome, particularly while
in the historical district, was the rich patina the time has painted over the
city. Buildings, roads, sculptures, monuments and of course the iconic ruins
have all had their appearance enriched by the mask of time. Everywhere I
looked, my inner voice would shout, "... wow", "look at
that", "oh my" or some other phrase in wonderment and awe of the
rich details in the scene before me.
The time worn look of cobble stone streets ...
 |
| cobbled up |
Windows and doors down a gritty side street ...
 |
| A Side Street in Rome |
Ancient ruins with years of exposure to the elements ...
 |
| Forum III |
They were in abundance, everywhere I looked.
I continue to work through the catalogue of images from our trip. Stopping to consider some in more detail, working on some intermittently, trying to get past the first day or two. I'm enjoying them so much, this may take a while ...
