This photo is for Dusty, who kindly asked me to participate in the 10 Day Travel Photo Challenge that is now circulating.
In the blog world (much unlike the real world), I don’t feel obligated to follow rules, so instead of 10 days of photos, I’ll just post this one. I also won’t nominate anyone, but feel free to join in on your own – it’s a great excuse to post old travel pictures!
But I like how the prompt asks you to leave the photo with no explanation, so: here’s my take.
The Snow Melts Somewhere

Something you don’t see too much atm, I am guessing? Crowds that is.

What a wonderful photo! How lovely to see people milling about together 🙂 Everyone looks like they are heading towards the same point, I guess towards the fountain or was there something specific? Thanks for taking part and putting your own spin on the challenge 🙂

I guess it was just a hangout, the place to be! (The Spanish Steps in Rome.) Tourist sites are so funny though, like why… why??? 😀
Anyway, thanks for the fun challenge!! 🙂

The Spanish Steps! Back when you could actually sit on the steps.

Oho, tulipa heti mieleeni, että minulla on tuolta vähän erilaisia kuvia viiden vuoden takaa, blogini ensimetreiltä. Tämä on muuten yksi makeimpia juttuja joita olen missään suurkaupungissa koskaan tehnyt, suosittelen ehdottomasti – sitten kun matkustaminen on taas mahdollista 🙂

Ooh, onnistuitpa löytämään hiljaisen aamuhetken!!! Ihanaa 🙂 Tulee mieleen meidän Havaijin reissu, kun aikaero oli 12 tuntia niin me oltiin biitsillä joka aamu jo seiskalta!!! 😀 Se olikin just hyvä, koska ei ollut ruuhkia, sai parhaat paikat, eikä ollut liian polttava aurinkokaan!

I don’t miss crowds at all! But small events, yes. We had just discovered some nice childrens’ events when Covid came along… and then they were off the agenda

Ah, what a reminder of times past…though I didn’t spend much time there because of pre-covid crowds, I am happy I got to experience one of Rome’s iconic spots.

Same here! Though to be honest, there are many other places in Rome I remember better than those steps!

Those where the times where the crowds attracts you more, the bigger, the grandier. It feels like “Yeah, I belong here..”
But nowadays……???
