No Palio, just plenty of superb pasta and more - An evening Siena - Great atmosphere

That's the tower that is in the reflection in my photo above! But perhaps not too surprising. Likely one of the most photographed plazas in the world. A great town, eh? Hotter than a bastard when we were there, though.

Been walking in the Derbyshire Peak District this weekend Eastmoor near Chatsworth House:
Monsel Dale and the viaduct:

Is this lovely Metro entrance also the one for Pere Lachaise cemetery? (I'm thinking either of the station Pere Lachaise line3, 1/2km away, or Philippe Auguste line2, next to the cemetery - I can't remember which I mean)
Anyway, if it is the one next to Pere Lachaise, it's very appropriate since, as well as Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Chopin etc, etc, numbered among the inhabitants is Fulgence Bienvenue - civil engineer remembered as the 'Father of the Paris Metro'.

..I fear not, but thank you for the interesting history. It is CITE on the same island as this:
and a short walk from the Marie.
I love the way Paris has no fear as far as architecture is concerned. Pompidou for example is not far away either
Howard: good tag for the lamps

Not my best picture, but I like the view and it really shows how strong the sun was up in the mountains. - Looking back from the mountains in the direction of Malaga.
Peter I only see a band of blue over a gray block , for some reason.
One of my favourite travel pics:-
For me it gives a little of the "wow" factor. I'll confess to not noticing(consciously) the group at the base, which gives the pic it's scale.
