This week Carmi has suggested "Well aged" as a photographic theme.
I have recently had a wonderful three-week holiday in Italy, so here are some pics around this idea.

Firstly, a well-aged foot from the Vatican Museum in Rome:
I can't resist a shot of the Colosseum:
This mosaic is one of those recovered from Pompei. It is in the
Napoli (Naples)Museum.

Well-aged Parma hams from a family farm. Delicious!
I feel a little disrespectful posting these ones; I hope
no-one takes offence!

They are mummies - one wrapped, one not - from the
Egyptian Museum in Torino (Turin).

Love the foot, and the Coliseum, and OMG the MUMMIES! How cool is that? Great set Alexia!
ReplyDeleteWow. Nice choices.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
You obviously had a great time! Love the mummies - can't get much more aged than that!
ReplyDeleteNice selection! Especially liked the foot and the tile mosaic.
ReplyDeleteI love how these shots literally take us back in time. I once had a teacher who said photography was like a time machine. We laughed at the prospect then, but now I realize how right he was!
ReplyDeleteOh so very cool! Thanks for the well aged treat for today! Love those perfect toes too! Although the little toe is a bit funny...and what stunning mummies my favorites of all time! I ahve to get my own well aged in...too just got back from vacation and so much to catch up on! Have a great day Alexia!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone - I had fun choosing these :)
