Testing photo attachments

Because I am taking my laptop, I will be blogging throughout our trip to Italy. I've never posted photographs to a blog before, so this is a test. These are pictures from my last trip. I will try to post video separately.

This is a picture I snapped while wandering through a residential neighborhood between our B&B and the Coliseum. I am repeatedly drawn to this color Mediterranean blue. It always seems so fresh and vital.

This photo was taken as I approached the Coliseum through the park behind it--not the standard touristy perspective. I felt as if I was eavesdropping on a private moment here, but the mood of the shot captured a peacefulness that I have never personally felt in Rome because it is such a giant, pulsing metropolis.
