One day, I'll finish resizing all the five million rest of my photos from Italy.

For now, the first set.

VERONA

We only spent a few hours here - between finding a place to park the tour bus, and having lunch, we only had time for two sights. Admittedly, I took up more time than I should have in both of them.

Verona Amphitheatre:
Still used, in the summer, for operas. There's something right about that. How history should be.

'Juliet's Balcony':
A tourist trap, more likely than not. But it was quiet when we went there, and it doesn't matter if it's real or not. That isn't the point.

There's a statue of Juliet hidden behind that tree. One tradition is that if you rub her well-worn right breast, you'll have good luck for a year. In the other direction, leading to the tiny, secluded little courtyard, there's a corridor, lined with the bright screens of audio information stands, and - well. A second tradition is that, if you leave a message there, you will be granted true love for eternity.

Just for Meg:

They're beautiful.

Not quite deleted, though.

Well, anything else aside, it didn't come out as well as the rest of the photos - I couldn't stop the flash from glaring off the pen. But I couldn't post it before, and I wanted to just do it now, before I, you know, just... never did.

Yeah.

I think things are gonna be okay though.

God, the light in the stadium is amazing.

*hearts*

They are completely gorgeous!

You do realize you can set up a macro in Photoshop to resize, save, and close all the pieces you have open with on click, right?

I know, but I prefer to resize each one individually so I can sharpen it as much or as little as needed at the same time, to preserve as much image quality as I can.

:O

Those are stunning. The colors, oooh. I think you're right about Juliet's balcony and the tourist trap. So, so far from the point.

Also fwiw, I agree with Josie on all counts.

That is because I am always right.

Well, yeah. I'm getting I agree with Josie tattooed on my forehead to save time.
