I’m not sure if this will pass…vehicle details for Cee, but, being so small and well kept I think it’s a detail of its own – a real gem.
Tankar
More style…and tasty things
More style – food!
For Totti – truffles!
The finest delicatesse store…
…some real treats
Clothes and accessories
Handsome Simon Baker…not for sale

More than me wanting a tree…
What is this…?
Wooden toys factory
Necessary beauties…
Old remedies…
Ai Monasteri…in this family for generations
All recipes are from monasteries
Light!
Stylish shops…
It’s hard not to be impressed by the Italians. Everything they do, they do with style. In style. And they all look gorgeous…slim, long-legged women and smart men in sunglasses…Tasty food, great monuments, history seeping through their every stone.
A little taste of this is for stylish dogs too…
Three lovely friends – who were allowed into any shop, it seemed…but they were completely natural! In fact I didn’t see a single dog wearing any of these crazy outfits…
…ballerina? Fur coat? Or…a new necklace perhaps?
Or, why not a new sweater and a pair of jeans…
Honestly…this is ridiculous. Buy a doll. Naked Chinese Crested and some other breeds might need clothes, and sometimes I wish Totti had a raincoat because his fur never dries after a walk in heavy rain…but No.
Travel Theme: Arches
A late night walk in Rome. More arches than in The Colosseum is hard to find.
Walking home treats you to some stunningly beautiful bridges over the Tiber. You never want that soft night to end.
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Minimalist
I guess I don’t have many of these…but I found a couple from Jämtland last winter. The second one I have published here before. The colours of winter bring out the monochrome feeling and clear freshness. Minimalist.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Bark or Leaves
From Ostia Antica are my photos for Cee’s Challenge, Bark or Leaves. It fascinates me how well they melt together – the old ruins and the trees. The bark of those pine trees seem to continue into the man made work, and the lush ivy seem to have grown out of the brickwork. Perfect marriages.
Mobile Rome…
Cell phones…love and hate, communicator and destroyer of Real communication…
In a lonely street…
Going to church…
In the tram…
Loving someone…
Alienating…?
When getting fresh water…
…or salt water
Well, even the old Romans…
Contemplating Rome
Walking from early morning to late night in this eternal city – Rome – I noticed that an important piece of that special mood and atmosphere … is in its people. I was surprised to see how many men and women who actually were just sitting, silently reading a book or a paper – or just contemplating. Life. Stillness. Movement. Not only old people were engaged in this…yes, I admit to feeling a spark of hope and joy every time. Maybe 95 per cent were either playing with their phones or eating …but…Maybe the Book will not die, Maybe…there is still Hope for us to Slow Down and Feel. Just letting go, and just Be.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Descent
A story of – Descent.
I have just returned from Rome, and a trip back in history to the once lively old seaport of Rome, Ostia Antica. This was ”the mouth” of the River Tiber, but due to silting it now lies 3 kilometres from the sea. The theatre, once double the hight of these remains – is still, today, a beauty. Three hours of walking through the whole area of magnificently preserved buildings with frescoes and mosaics, listening to birds singing and the old stones telling their silent story – is time well spent.
