There’s one not unlike it in Krakow too, Paula 🙂 I don’t think I have ever been to Oxford but some day I must. All those dreaming spires would brighten a drab English day.
Hugs to you!

Have you noticed a trait of mine? When someone tends to be mysterious about something it makes me really persistent and more curious – I was hoping this trait would less with my more mature age, but nah … I will give you a break: Just promise me something (I will not have to wait 5 years to learn about it, right?) (you can always use email to share your dark secret with me)

Paula, quando hai scattato questa foto?
Io trovo che l’immagine abbia un’aria primaverile o di primi giorni d’autunno.
Mi piace come hai saputo catturare la delicata luce del sole che ”sosta” sotto il ponte e ci invita a scorrere nella sua scia.
Buona Giornata,
Renzo 🙂

this would be to improve your Italian – yes, that would be my goal – the problem is it keeps getting mixed with French, Spanish and Portuguese – but I am getting there-. Taxi drivers in Rome had no problems understanding me and we chatted during long drives, anche i camerieri 😀 Italy is and will always be close to my heart.

Paula,ti è riuscito benissimo, infatti a me ha trasmesso le sensazioni che ti ho descritto.
Allora per ringraziarti vorrei anche io augurarti la buona notte con una canzone (ho visto che molte volte nei tuoi post è presente la musica).
No so se conosci Andrew Bird, a me certe sue canzoni trasmettono una malinconia mista a un sentimento della natura.
Spero ti piaccia:

I saw the “connect” challenge, and the only thing I could think of was to show photos of me with my friends and loved ones. That seemed too uninteresting to a general audience, so I did nothing. I love how you interpreted this challenge!

Tu es parfaitement dans le thème, un “pont” qui relie 2 immeubles séparés par une rue, c’est bien l’esprit!

Ok, je vais expliquer en anglais. I was lead and chased over there by two tour guides that were ruining my frames, I was annoyed and bored, the light was all wrong – I had to play a little afterwards – Oxford is very photogenic but that Sunday afternoon it was crawling with people and lazy students and I wanted to find it on a moody cloudy day – you know that type of purplish grey clouds and drama – like in some good BBC crime series 😀
Oh, I understand now! Anyway your shot is great 🙂

A great shot Paula, and a lot of interesting backstory to the photo. despite the obstacles, what a beauty.
Confirming my avoidance of guided tours – I had two guides on my recent gallop through five countries, one in Vienna and one in Budapest, both women from 5W who devoted a day to me, sussed out my interests beforehand, and took it at a pace I enjoyed. And of course your lovely city guided me itself.

Good choice. Zagreb does not require guides. Once again I remembered that unfortunate email I did not see on time, but now you can see the email I really use it is featured on the right side of my blog.
