The view from the Pontevecchio this morning after we arrived from Rome was simply breathtaking.
More photos for this week’s photo challenge: scale. On to the Tuscan countryside in the morning.

Italy Day One: Rome
A day to remember and a first for me blogging from my iPhone.
It began with a special and unexpected moment never to be forgotten.
The rest of the day fitted well with this week’s photo challenge: scale as Rome is all about scale at every turn.

Next stop The Eternal City.
Our last visit was on the 19th of July 1999 as you can see.
It’s been far too long.
Stay tuned 🙂

Finale Ligure reflection matted and framed.
The window is from the Youth Hostel in Finale Ligure, Castello Vuillerman, where we stayed in 1999. We’ll never forget climbing the more than three hundred steps with packs on our backs to the Castello where the views of the city were well worth the climb.
The first variation in ink and water-colour repurposed from Studio 365:Day 145…
…the journal entry from our visit
…and the original window reflection.

The Weekly Photo Challenge from Cheri today asks us to “share an image that means “earth” to you,” for upcoming Earth Day. This photographic detail of my painting of Cypress Alleyway, which I have already featured on thechangingpalette more than once, is my way of celebrating an earthly magical place that I shall never forget.
