If there’s a Cheeky Wednesday somewhere out there in the blogosphere, I’m pretty sure I just participated in it. Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter.

Colosseum at Night (Rome, Italy)
After a long, wandering, aimless day, we got lost on our walk home and wound up out much later than we’d intended. Thankfully the Colosseum lights helped us find our way. (One of many benefits of having a place to stay in the heart of the city.) Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter.

Weird Sites in Rome, Take Eight
The ceiling is falling! The ceiling is falling! At the very least – the ceiling is perplexing! I can’t quite wrap my brain around this particular design choice (although I find the 3D effect of this photo super fun). Perhaps it’s symbolic of the powers-that-be looming over you, lingeringly, able to crush you at aContinue reading “Weird Sites in Rome, Take Eight”
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Seven
As grand as this doorway is, I have no idea why they placed that little square shaped atrocity up there. Is it a light? A smoke detector? An alarm? A time traveler’s portal? What the frak, Jack? Many of my photos from Rome have this issue. I knew it would be a place where ruinsContinue reading “Weird Sites in Rome, Take Seven”
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Five
These shots were taken within 500 feet of one another. Just goes to show, one person’s art is another person’s graffiti is another person’s art. Shot on iPhone 8.
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Four
Ceilings in Roman churches reminded me of those posters your dentist puts up so you have something to look at while they scrape away at your gums. I can totally picture this guy saying, “Look, Ma – no cavities!” Shot on iPhone 8.
Unnecessary Steps (Rome, Italy)
We wandered through so many random churches with so many sculpted ceilings, I’m not even going to try to remember where this was taken. I became minorly obsessed with taking shots of these moldings that descend down from the ceiling art, like a needless staircase. Plus a bit of asymmetrical symmetry, because my photography goesContinue reading “Unnecessary Steps (Rome, Italy)”
Father of the Fatherland (Rome, Italy)
Experiment in asymmetrical symmetry. Shot on iPhone 8, black and white filter.
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Three
Sometimes you gotta shoot the “wrong thing”. The only source of light into the Pantheon comes from the center (the oculus). Said oculus is a popular shot, tourists angling their lenses up to the ceiling to capture it and the surrounding dome walls, which are eye-catching swirls of squares. My traveling companion used it asContinue reading “Weird Sites in Rome, Take Three”
