I'm always amazed and somewhat awestruck at the detail they use to give attention to. Not that there are not magnificent buildings constructed today but it seems we , as a people, have become to hurried to take the time to do what they use to. <em>cheeky's last blog post..<a href='http://suidafrikameetsusa.blogspot.com/2008/05/words-that-resonate.html' rel="nofollow">words that resonate</a></em> <strong><em>Awestruck is definitely a good word to use when seeing these amazing structures.

I remember there was this dog on the road in the middle of that very intersection causing a lot of angry honking of horns as you can imagine as the area is so busy and so small! He was fine in the end as trotted over to the footpath once he calmed down a bit. We have a similar intersection in Rome: Quattro Fontane which is very similar. Have you ever been to Rome? <em>Leanne's last blog post..<a href='http://australiatoitaly.blogspot.com/2008/05/london-calling.html' rel="nofollow">London calling</a></em> <strong><em>I haven't been yet, but I've heard lots of good things ;) Lovely photo’s - I have been there and stayed at a hotel just a one minute walk away.
