Recently on our local NW England news, Blackpool Tower is now 125 years old.

A local one this time on a revisit, 19 years on, with camera, to Blackpool and Fleetwood - "A Good Seaside Day" .

Only been to the first 2, and know the other 2 from TV and Saint Francis, of course.

Where did you visit, FB?

So many beautiful places in Italy, of course - and I'm being reminded of this now by the helicopter cameras covering the Giro cycling.

Excellent selection, WAV. Reminds me of a wonderful week my late wife and I spent in Italy. Thank you.

Thanks, Donuel:

It was easier last time in 1988, in my early 20s!

But I remembered that - unlike spacious Paris where the good underground is really needed - Rome is a walkabout city and this visit confirmed that.

I took the metro to the Vatican then walked a scenic route - in the order of the photos - to the Colosseum, buying an umbrella and wiping my camera lens a lot in the changeable weather that day.

The other 2 days, I took it easier - on the coast and at the tennis.

Even if no one else is able to say it, Well Done.
Was it easy?

...stayed in Ostia and had about one day on the coast, one day walking about the city, and one day watching tennis at the wonderful Foro Italico.

There are so many beautiful sites in Rome but, of course, people know it and there are big crowds and queues at most of them.

This is not a music thread, but it is one where David Franks parks his "poetry." Mr. Franks isn't a regular member now, but this thread is moved to the top of the page so he can continue to post links to his blog.

The first time we tried to move this to the top other members started sniping and turned it into an overtly political thread, and that is unacceptable. Past discussions have been left mostly in place, but new remarks from guests or members that don't have to do strictly with the content linked to will be deleted. This is a compromise that is acceptable to moderators as long as it doesn't become a battleground. ---mudelf

Hi all:

In my free time the last few years, my hobby has been going back to places I visited in Walkabouts: Travels and Conclusions in Verse/WalkaboutsVerse/WAV with a bridge camera.

Here is one example from a recent visit to Rome - quite timely as the Giro cycling and the Italian Open Tennis are currently on:

"A Beautiful Stage"
