Left Nice this afternoon by train. Our destination was Milan, where we’ll spend one day before flying back to Los Angeles on Friday. These are iPhone shots taken from the train during the 4-hour trip that took us through several coastal towns in Italy, including Genoa.

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)
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.
Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week is Arches. Having just finished a trip to Italy, I have plenty of those to share. Here are some of them.
These two little jewels are the most touristy of all the towns in the Amalfi Coast. We were there at the end of September, which was still high season along that region. The people are super friendly, speak various languages and, understandably, they seem to appreciate tourists. After all, tourism is their sole source of income.
Amalfi. Its main attraction is the Saint Andrew’s Cathedral (Duomo) overlooking the Piazza Duomo, at the heart of Amalfi. Walking around its narrow streets or just people watching is a lot of fun.
Positano. This tiny and picturesque village is a real delight, with lots of nice boutiques, galleries, restaurants and a nice beach.
Earlier this month we spent two wonderful weeks in Italy, where we visited Venice, Florence, Greve in Chianti, Montefioralle, Siena, San Gimignano, and Montalcino. We drove through the Tuscan countryside and Val d’Orcia all the way to Rome, where we ended the trip. It was a fantastic trip. Italy is a photographer’s paradise and I took thousands of photos. Starting my series on Italy, here’s a slide show of the beautiful Tuscan countryside.
This week’s photo challenge is On Top. I’m posting a few shots from my recent trip to 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.
