Yikes! this looks like Lombard Street in San Francisco..with two way traffic.

A Citroen truck??

I was referring to the fact you could cycle indoors in case the “real cycling”day did not happen..oops!

If only my knees were not so worn out! 20 miles max... unloaded.
But it sure sounds fun!

Hey Bill, you wanna come back with us next time as our "pet monkey"?

It really gives a graphic portrayal of the passage of time.

Thanks Andrea. It helps to be in such a beautiful place.

Much as you travel, you probably already know they are a bit astringent until dead ripe and wrinkling, but I might have been tempted to attempt to pick a few. I may be old, but I still climb trees.

Catchy description...

Outside of Rome, you can walk into town on the Appian Way, also rutted from chariot wheels.

This is a beautiful shot. Layers of textures, perfect lighting, and a wave to draw the eye over to the edges. Well done.

They are cute! It always cheers me up to see them, unwanted though they generally are. My favorite fact about monk parakeets is that they build colonial nests shared by as many as dozens of birds, each with their own entrance hole. Nests can be huge, weighing up to a ton, and can be a threat to people below if they fall.

Invasive they may be, but they sure are cute. Also, hard to see a green bird in a green leafy tree so we were happy to spot a few on the ground.

Fortunately Dodie was unaware of this risky behaviour until evening when she saw the photos. By then it was too late to say more than "Please don't do that again".

And little to no shoulder!
