Believers sought,
unbreakable bonds
Countless gods,
faithful crowds
Wounded by time,
shackled by scars
Dome of heaven,
light of gold
The Pantheon, Rome

Thanks! I don’t know if studying history is what makes this phrase so prevalent in my mind, but I “hear” it all the time as I think about the past. 🙂

This is one of those shots that looked terrible via 35mm film. When I digitized and gave it a few touchups (hardly anything), it ended up absolutely beautiful. I’m no longer mad I snapped the shot!
Three weeks of gearing up to teach Art History gave me instant inspiration for the words!

So many of your photos from your travels will set the stage for specific eras in art history. I think that so much of what you love is going to come together as you teach this class. I wish I could be in the classroom as your student!
