Ancient-looking Beasts in Modern Pompeii

Pompeii, Italy ~ April 18, 2004

This was the floor in a hotel lobby where we stayed. The black thing is nothing more than a rubber mat to keep people from slipping in the rainy weather. Of course, now I wish I'd gone down and removed it before taking the photo, but you know how it is - you've been walking all day, you're exhausted, and one more step seems like one step too many. *Snap!*

Fan Shapes on the Pavement

Pompeii, Italy ~ April 17, 2004

I love the cobbled streets of Europe with their painted fan-shaped markings. I have no idea what the fan shape means, but it's fun to look at and adds a certain character.
