Description
We came back from Turin last night after a nightmarish journey by train. A guy had been killed on the tracks, and there were works in progress on the line. Mix it up with the fact that it was Sunday and the police had to look for the coroner and the judge (our legal system is the opposite of the Common Law)to start the work on the crime scene. Add the fact that the railways are super unionized and the railway people didn't want to work after their usual time. Add the fact that the Railway CEOs discourage it in order to save money. Add also the fact that in Italy we are not citizens, but subjects for the bureaucrats, and hence customer's satisfaction isn't important. Add to it, as a final stroke, the fact that we Italians are a bit messy (you know it, Susan, don't you?) and you have the perfect recipe for a hellish journey. And we had taken the train to avoid driving!
After an afternoon spent to catch up with comments (I know they are a bit short), I'm posting this one I made in Rome from the terrace of the Capituline Museum, on the Capituline Hill, one of the seven hills of ancient Rome. I'm still storing the shots made in Turin in an external hard disk, before going through them.
Thanks for your kind comments.

We don't have the passenger train problems BUT only because we don't have much in the way of passenger trains:-) This is a very intriquing photo. Hope to visit Rome one day.

Gorgeous photography up to your high standards with exquisite subject matter and POV! I just started reading again about the Roman civilation from the on-line free ebooks site I like to get reading material from. This one, I can't remember the exact name or author, was written in 1867 but I still find the subject matter fascinating. Thanks again for sharing! Sorry to hear about your hellish train ride! I am glad you survived intact! Looking forward to more photos!
