Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Piazza del Anfiteatro in Lucca - unique place as it is a perfect oval. The mediaeval buildings sprang up around the remains of the old Roman amphitheatre. Any stone from that was slowly poached away for other buildings leaving the outline of the amphitheatre and the 4 arched entrances into it are where the gladiators used to enter it originally.

Was the pace of life as relaxed as the photos suggest. Interesting location by the way.

Some very atmospheric shots.
I especially like number five...those earthworks look very interesting.......I like seven as well.
That is a great capture.

The locals seemed to enjoy a very laid-back lifestyle - many getting about on foot or on bikes. Not many cars allowed in the walled town though the local buses thundered through during the day and didn't take any prisoners.
I really liked the feel of the place -there were lots of tourists but it still retained a small-town, intimate feel.

Today in Pictures started in a field adjacent to St Mary's Burial Ground, across the field to The Millennium Baby Wood, and back up the main road.

Have tried all fungi season to get a good shot of that fungi, but this year the slugs beat me to it every time.

I love the coluur in them all - number 5 is such a great subject -I've never seen one in the wild - did you notice the little slug crawling up it?

I beg to differ though and say my favourite is number 6 ;):)
