Vacation Photos (modem murder)

Some pics from our recent vacation, all shot and edited with a Nokia phone.
I actually left my DSLR at home.

They are in pretty random order, from Rome, Paris, Florence and Sienna.

Thanks guys!

No Rolex, both my wife and I wore Damasko watches. They are damn near impossible to scratch and extremely comfy.

Thank you all!
I actually sent the album link to Nokia and they replied to me and passed it on to their social media department.

Kinda cool!

Amazing photos! The vacation looked like it was a blast. It would be cool if the photos found their way into a Nokia AD. And nice Damaskos. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Chip, absolutely stunning pictures. I took the same trip 23 yrs ago. It would be amazing to see your pics in a Nokia ad.

There might be another modem murder tomorrow, if the weather cooperates.
