WPC: Atop of the morning to ya

The title goes well with yesterday’s Fiesta, whereas the photos are two apiece from different tops I have climbed in my two countries.

But first the last week on my blog lest I forget. There were quite a few topics:

• Last week’s subject of “wish” had me running for a pretty little church;
• I told you which films I saw in the last four months and why;
• birds had their wedding-day so I had to show you some birds of Tuscany, including flamingos;
• six Slovenian windows went well with six Ray Bradbury quotes;
• my 2016 calendar got richer for twelve images from May (I added two upon realisation that I’d only posted ten);
• on Thursday the doors were again from Pitigliano, your favourite, it would seem;
• and yesterday I had some St. Patrick’s fun. I hope nobody needed that sink.

And now things I’ve climbed and belle views I had, over here in Italy and over there in Slovenia, with two photos from each location, or thereabouts. (The view improves upon clicking on the photo.)

Let’s start in Rome. The bar on top of Monte Mario is an excellent point of view.

The Tiber from much closer.

Porte Ercolo in November…

…and in April.

Orbetello on the lagoon, taken from the monastery on Monte Argentario.

A bit to the left: the border of the lagoon.

Tuscany from Scarlino.

Tuscany from Pienza.

And two more – if you ask me, it’s never enough: Tuscany from San Martino sul Fiora.

Tuscany from Capalbio the first time my parents ever visited me. It was a surprise visit for my birthday four years ago. The weather was not playing along.

Piran “beach” in January…

…and in July, with plenty of zoom from the hill where I walk the dog. I call this photo: Happy pest bathing.

A bit to the right, from the same hill.

And a bit more.

(A part of) Kranj, 4th biggest Slovenian town, from the hill Šmarjetna gora where I used to go for card tournaments.

Quite a bit to the left: From our hike to Stol mountain, below Sava river.

And finally back home: a view of Maremma from the roof.

Somebody is waiting for me to come back down.
