WPC: Layered October

All twenty multilayered photos below were taken in the same month. Welcome to October. Seeing that I’m desperately running out of blog space, again, I thought to combine the Weekly Photo Challenge and my Calendar 2016 and show you what October looks like around here. Especially since it is nothing if not layered. My second…

WPC: Wonder lust – Wander list

Yes, I have my wander lust and list too. These are just some of the spots I have crossed out. My list is getting additions on an hourly basis, as soon as I see something appealing on blogs or Tweeter or Facebook. Normally I only include a destination if it’s under 3 hours’ drive from…

Vision 20/20

And it’s not over yet. This is my sister’s visit in twenty images. Even with a single photo from each location (okay, and a bit more from home) I had to stop myself at 20. It begins and ends with colourful bits to bite with plenty in between, including the first use of bikini this year. Click…

Thursday Doors, November 24

We conclude the Vetulonia trilogy with the obligatory Thursday door post. First we had a look inside the Etruscan museum, then we went outside, and now it’s door time. Plus a window, plus a cat. Plus cemetery. Some sky. Parents. It was a good day. Photo: a © signature mmm production For Norm Frampton’s Thursday Doors…

Ancient Vetulonia now

We already visited the interior of the Etruscan museum, and now it’s time to have a look around. Vetulonia is said to be one of the largest metropolises of the Etruscans, and strolling around it and breathing that fresh air you get to feel – a bit more there, if not exactly rejuvenated. Or is…

Etruscan mysteries

A visit to Vetulonia, an Etruscan metropolis, and its museum happened since father found a family discount online for that day. I’m sure they didn’t mean bestia by it but welcomed him anyway. And the kid was a bit grown. I’m really bad at history. Really really bad. So bad that when I had to…

WPC: Shiny crazy diamonds

For this challenge I’ve been enjoying collecting images with a certain shine to them. It can come from different sources. And yet, does it really? But first a short recap of the past week: I gave you our local beach.  I showed you our slightly pink flamingos from not so very close up.  I alerted you to…

Empty Tweet slate

A clean slate is an empty slate. —Jim Morrison And since we are doing new things today – I’ve just posted my first ever Tweet. It was this photo and this text: Greetings from my own Etruscan great-great-grandmother dressed for the occasion of rising from the tomb in Vetulonia. And yes, I found @SnowMeltsSW even before they offered…

Thursday Doors, October 13

With parents safely on train, I conclude that we have seized the week’s only two really nice and warm days to discover five new towns, their autumn feasts, a museum, a couple of tombs, a Pinocchio, and of course the doors. Three door images from each of the five towns coming up. 1. Caldana (community…
