    Beautiful picture, the symmetry and reflections are perfect. Italy is on the top of my list of countries I still have to visit!

    BTW, I also like the new header look. Very contemporary.

    Oh, sweet shot!
    That must have been a lovely trip!
    Wish to go to Italy for some shooting, sigh :)

    Re DSLR:
    I waited almost two years until I took the step of buying the D300. That's 4 years with a P&S and no loss of interest and love in Photography.
    When I started selling my pics in Kuwait (in person) and online, I knew I should take the step.
    But it was hubby that finally convinced me :)

    Happy WW!

    Me too. Did you ever wonder how that bridge stays up with the weight of all that gold on it?

    When my kids are in graduate school and the dog dies (oh, wait, we don't have a dog, no need to deal with that), my husband and I are going to Italy. No ifs, ands or buts.

    Gorgeous photo.
