Romadise in summertime



skateboarding by our house



view from the mountain they skateboarded



skating and holding a camera is awkward




at the end of the day they rested. and had prosecco (sparkling wine) and chips by the seaside!




could be in hondeklip baai




windolene!




on a tram




one of the entrances to villa borghese




their gallery of modern art, much better than ours but the works are badly maintained




had to tear ben away from this one




i love it, they had some humour amoungst all the solemn marble statues




this is amazing. i thought it was a real suspended sphere. it blew my mind. four very big mirrors form a box which you step into. the end of the box is filled with about 16 screens with the same video playing on all of them. you step onto a 'suspended platform' and the mirror goes underneath it enhancing this amazing effect like youve just walked into the mainframe computer of the movie eagle eye and youre staring at this huge digital ball of light suspended in the air! anyway it was a amazing and for some historical exhibition in italian of course.




here you can see the end of the box and where the mirrors start on each side of the box





mosaics at the exhibition





villa borghese is beautiful





cute little ponies. the park is huge so theres all sorts of bikes and mini trains to take you around. alex is that you photo bombing my picture!





and we had a picnic on the grass





so cool! she just grew out of the plinth




the tiniest movie theatre




purple tulips out in full bloom





trying to get into the zoo through the back door





this resulted in a scraped knee and powdery white cap




just do it




these cool double bike carriages that you can hire




soccer on dirt




lovers on every park bench. at least they have benches here!





carabineri, scuse me wait, these are the other kind. there is military police and government police, cant remember which is called carabineri...
