Early morning in Florence and not a soul in sight. I’d already been up to see the bronze version of Michelangelo’s David with its aged green patina on top of the hill overlooking the city. A slight chill in the … Continue reading The Venice Diaries – The return home – Part 1

Weekly Photo Challenge – Infinite

Saturday, October 12, 2013Saturday, October 19, 2013 Maria a.k.a. Bess/Ishaiya

This week’s theme explores the concept of infinity. Narrow alleys and streets that disappear seemingly into infinity always fill me with a sense of wonder and exploration, and I can’t help but stop to take a photo then go and … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge – Infinite

Saturday, September 28, 2013Saturday, October 12, 2013 Maria a.k.a. Bess/Ishaiya
