Thursday Doors – July 28th (posted July 30)

….church doors in Italy were a photographer’s dream

Every large city in Italy seems to have a Duomo or cathedral. These two doors are from the Duomo in Florence.

One Word Photo Challenge – Child

…..thanks to Jennifer Nicole Wells for this week’s theme Child

Travelling through Italy with our granddaughter was delightful. After Venice we took a train to Florence. Even at nine months she’s very inquisitive and it was fun watching her discover the world around her.

In our apartment in Florence she helped us unpack the groceries.

Cee’s Which Way Challenge – July 27, 2016 – Venice, Italy

…..pathways in Venice, Italy didn’t always lead us to where we wanted to go

This is the pathway to our hotel in Venice. It was so small that the porter who was helping us with our luggage missed it the first time we passed it.

Most of the streets and pathways in Venice were very busy but some were almost deserted. The reason for the later was due to the fact that they often ended in a dead end.

Even the canals seemed deserted at times, especially the smaller ones.

Thanks to Cee for returning the Which Way Challenge
