Went up to Metato Weds pm for a concert. It was so hot, but the views were incredible! The mountains just above us:
And the sea below:
A lovely evening. Great food, good company, sense of being way above it all.
The small town was lovely, but sheesh it was hard to walk around in. It basically clung to the side of a hill. Here are two shots from there.
As usual, I’ve got odds and ends for you too. How about this sign in a local bookstore saying that the latest Camillieri Sicilian detective story has come in. He’s such a hero here!
And a couple shots of my fellow students in Italian school. I’ve met sun many delightful people, mostly from Holland and Switzerland, but wherever we go out for lunch, we usually have 5-6 different nations represented. It’s humbling to learn about their countries and see how they see the world. Such a different viewpoint!
I went to the local museum/marble art venue on Friday for an interview with a Moravian sculptor who lives here: Ivan Theimer. He seems to have done a lot of monumental sculptures. They are so very cool. He pulls in a ton of history and culture in the monuments, plus a turtle or two. Check out the images and information for the Rights of Man monument in Paris It’s intriguing!
This is a piece of his they put on view for his talk. He has some imagery in the base. In the big monuments he has lots of small images and extra bits and pieces. I really like his work because he combines art and thinking.
And to wrap up, a couple Italy postcard shots and a moment of whimsy. OMG, this place is beautiful!
Thanks for the info on the sideways shots. I’ll check them out. I had to do something different this time to upload the photos. I couldn’t get my phone to upload them, so I had to put them I my computer and then transfer them from there. Hmmm
Glad you are having such enriching experiences! BTW, the 1st shots when viewed in the email were sideways….??? but ok on the site.
