This week’s photo challenge invites us to share our photos of twinkling light.

Chandelier. Fenice Theater, Venice, Italy.
1. Am I right to assume this little gem of a car, parked outside the Houses of Parliament in London, might be a bit slow for today’s roads?
2. Driving through the countryside requires patience. You never know when you’ll encounter large and slow vehicles, such as this one in Tuscany, Italy.
3. If you are in a hurry in Venice, the gondolas are not the best choice. They move slowly through the many canals, not only because they are beautiful, but also because the gondolas can’t go fast. And, yes, there is also some traffic congestion…
4. Being slow is not just for vehicles and people. These little creatures are so slow, they totally justify expressions such as “at a snail’s pace” and “snail mail!”

I could only think of loss and death for this week’s theme… At least it gives me an opportunity to pay homage to the victims of 9/11 once again.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum was for centuries the center of Roman public life, the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. (Wikipedia)
The Roman Colosseum.
“It is the most beautiful of ruins; there breathes all the majesty of ancient Rome. Memories of Titus Livius filled my soul; I saw before Fabius Maximus, Publicola, Menenius Agrippa.” (Promenades dans Rome, Stendhal)
Aisle’s Travel Theme this week is Above.
All races and cultures converge near the Piazza di Spagna in Rome, Italy.
Condolas converge in Venice, Italy.
Venice Beach Canals, Los Angeles, CA.
Wilshire Corridor, Los Angeles, CA.

Ailsa’s Travel Theme is Colorful. And what a fun theme it is!
Colorful painting on a street wall in London. It’s signed by “Grems, 2013,” but the signature was too far from the artwork. I like the bald guy photobombing and helping show the scale of the work.
I’d like to meet the man who wears these gorgeous, colorful shoes. In Rome, Italy.
Display outside florist. Capri, Italy.
Never a dull bottle, with these colorful alabaster stoppers. Siena, Italy.
It doesn’t get any cuter and more colorful than this adorable window in Greve in Chianti, Italy.

Jy is wat jy dink - nie wat jy dink jy is nie. Dit help soms om hardop te lag vir wat jy dink of dink jy is.
