CFFC: Rome’s Non-Catholic Cemetery

Cee calls and I deliver: twenty images from the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome, a surprisingly cheerful spot, for her Fun Foto Challenge. Not just due to all the flowers. It was April after all. And I know Cee loves flowers too, especially bearded iris, that’s why there are some in all of these photos, or…

CFFC: Garden party

I’m not a regular contributor to Cee’s challenges, but sometimes she says just the right word. So when I saw her beautiful gardens for her Fun Foto Challenge, I knew I wished to link photos from this particular Roman garden to her challenge. Photos are from today, lunch too. Buon appetito! Same goes for my new writer’s…

CFFC: Outer is inner

This is what the bottom layer of a round wooden structure in “Škocjanski zatok” nature reserve is hiding. It’s time for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge again, and the outer shall be inner shall be outer. Photo: © signature mmm For:

CFFC: Laundry from my windows

For a while now I’ve been threatening with my laundry folder. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge on the theme of windows lets it all hang out. First come Italian windows, followed by Slovenian from Piran – so that you can be the judge of whether Italians truly do it better. I’d say it’s a tie. Photo: a ©…

CFFC: My Entrances and Doors

Since I take photos of doors all the time for Norm’s Thursday Doors (and for myself) as it is, here is a selection of favourite previously published ones for Cee and her fun challenge. Since this is a special occasion, here are more then twenty photos which is my usual limit. I think I’ll make…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Stepstairladders

Stairs are pretty much like doors, or arches, or windows: they follow my glance wherever I go. As for ladders, I didn’t need to go far. Work was in progress, and I got three in one (first photo). From then the tour continues by way of usual suspects: Roma, some Toscana, the Tarot Garden with some wicked…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: It takes a train to cry

Bob Dylan says that “it takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry”. The train is our daily feature but I’d say we are done with crying for this lifetime. About crying on and off the train I’ve written here. It was necessary to bring us together, but then the train stopped being the symbol…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: (Not Jeff) Bridges

Not done with Roma yet, as if it was possible to be done with Roma. Today one bridge for Cee, leading to the island with a special function. When I announced to my family that I was going to Roma on my first visit, there could have been a vast misunderstanding if left at that. In…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Found-ains

I admit, I like fountains a lot. Must be the dog in me. And collecting some of my favourite fountain photos I realised that they are not so very different. That is, until small Slovenian town Žalec builds the first beer fountain in Europe. Plans are made and it’s a go. Just keep the dogs away….

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Fiat 500 event

To say that nothing ever happens around here would be a lie. Sometimes a dog sneezes. And sometimes there is a development. When I passed our largest parking area recently I saw that each traffic sign has a cute little padded orange coat. First I thought that somebody was afraid of floods, but then I read…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Roman Candy Architecture

I love it when someone spurs me to do something. (Frankly, I think that’s why I’m on here). Cee and her architecture challenge managed it last. It doesn’t need to be ancient Rome all the time. Finally I put together some examples of “ordinary” Roman architecture. These images were taken in Monteverde district of Roma on several…
