Wings of Desire, Rome

Ah, more orange. But we're the original blue lover, but....

Photographer Giampaolo Macorig used a sepia filter to achieve the look. Here is his flickr set, ominously titled The Apocalypse is Coming? Well, we're not sure (& he isn't either) but it feels like it lately. We really ought not recite Yeats when in such a mood. Here's The Second Coming, if you've not read it lately. Somehow this leads to Dante & his tomb in Ravenna...& that means Venice. And then we are back to the crossroads of Byzantium (Yeats, again), & the Moroccan patterns/colors from earlier this week. And the film, no we won't go into it because then there's Rilke... Basta!
