Looking Up

 

Even in a special place like Italy, we can get used to things and forget to look around.

Looking down becomes a habit, especially when we are watching our steps,



 

or involved in our own thoughts or in a conversation with another.



 

We try not to miss anything new along the street...



...the special things that can appear instantly to the side or out in front of us.

But the real surprises here in Italy are when we look up.

    



                    There always seems to be something to see in Italy, day or night...

...inside or outside.



 
When we look up, we can see ancient things in a new way,
 


or see fresh, new things in an old, familiar way.

 





Sometimes, we can see the old and new together.





These days, we try to remember that even though we have lived here for months, 
we can keep finding surprises...



...when we look up.

Surprise!
