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.
Please click on the photos to see more detail.
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).
