The Pantheon, Rome – in black and white and single words
A few months back I visited Rome for a few days, I love this great city with its amazing history and people. My favourite place during this trip was the Pantheon, at some point very soon I want to post about this building in more detail, here however I want to strip this post down to the basic feelings I had on walking into this amazing space for the very first time in my life.
I am a big fan of word lists to describe personal experiences, so here goes !

The Pantheon, Rome, a visit in space and time.
I’m always amazed that these magnificent buildings have managed to stay upright so long in a land as earthquake-prone as Italy. We can only hope that they continue to be so lucky!
