Amazing.... it's just so hard to comprehend.... 2,000 years ago people were walking down those streets, going about their usual business.... To be on the same street.. Awe inspiring.

Terrific pics. It's amazing to think what happened on those very same streets so many years ago.

Now you've done it Raf.

First you tilted the tower in Pisa and now you've left this town in ruins.

Nice pics buddy.

Thanks so much for sharing!

I was very fortunate to go as a child when my dad was stationed in Germany. I was been 11 at the time and it is one of my most vivid memories. I still have many books and some framed artwork from that trip.
