Midweek Photo: Marching to Rome

Somewhere along the road from Salerno to Rome, 1943

Wordless Wednesday: Same Place, Different Years

This is one of the WWII photos, i suspect sent to my injured dad by a buddy .  It could be a photo i took in Rome, overlooking the Forum.   Turns out the shot isn't identical, possibly not even from the same vantage point, but this looks extremely familiar.

One of my shots, 1976: from the same balcony?

At Last, Wordless Wednesday: War Zone

   A few months ago, i posted this photo in its original black & white.  It's the last one here.
The one above is a negative version, which i did as a graphic in my Open Office Write program.  It's called Invert in the program, which you get to as a dropbox (?right term) under Filters.
  i rather think the revised version, maybe less clear than the original, is in a different way clearer to show how horrible this was.

Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Anybody know Where were These taken?

A street of Naples?  the last photo looks it, and this was on the route

Almost Wordless Wednesday:Passion

Sometimes i can be easily discouraged from doing something.  But not when i'm passionate about the thing.

i wanted to capture the amazing fumerole
AND read the words on the sign.
It didn't look possible, but i tried anyway.

Can you read it?
You may need to click  on the photo to enlarge.
Ask for what you want anyway, even when "the rules"  say don't.

i guess i've always been this way.

Swiss-Italian Border, 1976
shot with Kodak Instamatic 

This is the shot my friends said
 would be a waste of film:
The reflection of the above view,
 from a plate glass window.

Of course, you don't always come up winners.  The Europe scrapbook has a piece of pattern paper to show the shot i attempted from the top of the Empire State Building.  At night.  But you can't get what you need if you don't try..  .
