Aaargh..dog spittle on your camera.
It might never be the same again(but I hope it is...would miss your lovely pics).

Re: Today in pictures
 

just a couple of the out-takes, if you want to get the same sensation as you view these pictures as I did, rub some tripe on your face as you look.

Wow - what a place! Beautifully captured Diane :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

On to Verona which wasn't today but last Sunday.
1 & 10 Castelvecchio - what a difference 5 hours makes - much nicer in the light of dusk.
2 Not what they tell you is Juliet's balcony - this is much prettier!
3 Clocks on the tower of the castle
4 Statue to motor-bike champion of the 50's from Verona
5 Statue of King Vittorio Emanuele II - on 'is 'orse, with is 'awk in 'is 'and...
6 Opera props stored outside the Arena
7 Nuns in the Arena giftshop
8 The Arena
9 Frescoe opposite from the Arena - would have been modern art when painted

Re: Today in pictures
 

You are right about the pictures 1&10....definitely more alluring burnished by the fading sun.
Your pictures give us a real taste of culture and life.......it has been very grey here today so the blue skies and vibrant colours are most welcome.

1. Oh yes.

7.& 8, I was reminded of Susie as I stood here, I did say to her, one day I would photograph this building.

I'm sure she would have apreciated the photo Dave and the fact that you thought of her when you took it :) It would go nicely in the 'anything with legs comp'

I love number 6.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Interesting and varied selection. Is that cactus a bit cheeky (especially viewed as a thumbnail) or is it just me? :eek::D

Re: Today in pictures
 

:D that depends how you look at it, our peg says it reminds her of me (can't see it myself :D).

Re: Today in pictures
 

Prickly??! :rolleyes:

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some more photos taken last weekend 1-6 are in Verona again, of San Zeno Maggiore and the cloisters, where I went to see my god-daughter Ana sing with Westholme choir (she's the blonde girl just behind the bassoon!) The others are from Castel Arquato - view of the hills , man risking drinking the fountain water (not a good idea probably), unusual Fresco in the 12th C church of the last supper - they are seated at a round table and Jesus has a templar cross in his halo, the font is thought to be 7th century and remains from an earier church on the site which was destroyed in an earthquake.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks, I think of her every time I see a picture of that structure as we had a few comments about it between us. I already have my competition folder ready for uploading, looks like I will have to delete one and put one in, I must admit it never crossed my mind that it fitted into the "anything with legs" competition, you can have some karma for that, and a like.

ps. just tried to give you the karma, I have to spread it around first.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I emailed a few photos to Suzie of the same structure a few years ago and some of the area around her house, and I think I posted them on her at one time.
I can't post one in this competition now seeing as it had been suggested and Dave may want to post his but it was a good suggestion Dianne.
