Someday. We’ll put it in the hope chest.
6 years agoBeautiful! Have it printed and hang it on your wall. Oh no, you don't have a wall.
6 years agoWe were in Brescello six years ago. I also have fond memories of Peppone and Don Camillo, but mainly from the wonderful film with Fernandel. My journal https://travel.topicwise.com/doc/page/?o=1r1&page_id=283553&v=2B
(I'll have to get it on this site, too.)
I love scenes like this too. I give all the credit to the farmers. I think they have an artistic sentiment.
6 years agoYou nailed it!
6 years agoThey’re slippery, alright. We crossed these when we arrived in the rain, and didn’t care for it much. I guess this is just the natural native material down here in the river bottom.
6 years agoThanks for researching this, Steve. I took a few different photos of it, and they all look like this. Optical allusion, I guess.
6 years agoWe first saw this surface in Spilimbergo and then again in Treviso. We discovered in Treviso it isn’t particularly friendly to walk on either! Especially when slippery from the rain 😬.
6 years agoAt first I thought that if both presumably point to heaven, then by extending their angles you could locate that magical place. But no, checking our records, we see that both buildings are in fact straight. So that would put heaven at an infinite distance, which theologically speaking might be more in line.

We could have seen it in the rain too, if we’d been just an hour later. We’re lucky Rachael is such a taskmaster. This is such an amazing area, isn’t it? We’ll have to make it through here again some season.
6 years agoAll these places you are visiting now are so familiar to us - glad you are enjoying them so much. Btw we cycled the Mincio in pouring rain 😭.
6 years agoBetter keep your helmet on!
6 years agoI know, darn it, I should have shot one, but it’s a refuge.

Actually, brickwork is not that easy. I saw an episode of a handyman show recently where four contestants had to each build a demo small chimney. The possible difficulties are many - from getting the mortar the right consistency to having the joints the right thickness, lining things up straight, etc. etc. But here I do think the Duke should have hired Holmes on Homes.
