Weekly Photo Challenge: FORWARD

A Word A Week Photo Challenge – Round

For this week’s Word a Week Photo Challenge – Round  I’ve decided to post a photo of the most famous amphitheatre in the Roman world Colosseum, which though not round, but oval in shape, is the best known example of Roman architecture.

SUNDAY POST: Concept

For the latest Jake’s challenge I decided to post a photo of what was Michelangelo’s concept for a piazza in Rome.

The existing design of the Piazza del Campidoglio and the surrounding palazzi was created by Renaissance artist and architect Michelangelo Buonarroti in…

SUNDAY POST: Peaceful

Is there a nicer, more important word than peace? (well, except for love) When I need peace I turn to nature, most often to small lakes with still, mirrored surfaces where I can reflect and ponder in peace. Here is the photo that says peaceful to me.   This is my response to Jake’s Sunday Post challenge.

Rome
