The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Introspection


Via dei Fori Imperiali. Piazza del Colosseo. Rome

“No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes.”
Henry Miller

Can't miss that red bus! Haven't been to Mexico City in years (unfortunately) and when I was there, no double decker buses.

Dos versiones las dos me gustan quizá la de color son interesantísimos los colores pero en mi opinión el revelado queda un poco forzado, ¿no lo se?. El caso es que a mi me gusta.
La de B&N esta estupenda pero en todo caso mas convencional.
Un saludo, Ángel

There was a moment before I realized that, yes, this is indeed an image of Rome, Italy - my former hometown.
Beautiful capture, and the puddle around the small drinking fountain is a very common sight.

Quite a thought-provoking photograph because of the lettering on the water fountain.

Seguro que no es para elegir, pero me quedo con la primera, como creo que vives en Usa, feliz cuatro de julio.
