gilded with grime
Silent stories,
mortar’s thread
Medieval views
crown bolded hues

There is something about cobbled streets that speaks to me. Perhaps it is the knowing that thousands and thousands of feet, of lives, have trod thereon.

I imagine that this street looked almost the same a hundred years ago. Lovely photo and poem.

We could probably overlap photographs of both times and there would be little or no change. I love that about Europe. 🙂
