Yes, I know, more tower photos... In my defense, I came up with the idea of using these photos months ago after returning from Italy one day while looking at the upcoming themes. I decided to use photos from another tower climb for last week's Technology PhotoHunt post only last week.
The top of the Torre dei Lamberti (Lamberti Tower) in Verona:

Fabulous! Really really nice shots there.
My curves are a bit more *ahem* subtle...

That is a great stairway. You did a great job capturing the spiral curves.
It is 26 degrees here this morning - I am so looking forward to some sun and warmth. See you soon.

Beautiful shots, girasoli! I happen to love your towers photos, you can post them as often as you like.
Have a great weekend! (Hope it is not rainy there like it is here)

Egads, I remember those stairs! They just kept going, and going...
They do make for stunning photos, though!

Thank you everyone :) This was a fun tower to climb and to photograph.
Marta, can't wait til you get here. I am so happy the weather is supposed to be good all week.
Candi, we had a big rainstorm Thursday night and one again last Monday, but other than that, we have been blessed with beautiful sunny weather. It is a little chillier at night now but not too cold :)
Softdrink, there certainly were a lot of stairs to climb. Reaching the top is always the reward :)
Dear Lisa, Annie, & Kim, I am so so sorry that I deleted your comments by accident. I found them in my junk comments (spam) folder along with a bunch of spam. I tried to delete all of the spam first, but must have hit the wrong button and instead deleted everything. There was no way to retrieve your comments after I hit the wrong button. Again I am very sorry. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me your comments. I was able to read most of what your wrote before I deleted everything by mistake. Again, I apologize. Bad bad spam!!!

Ok-sorry - I know this is totally inappropriate to hijack this thread - I don't see you have updated your blog - hope all is well with you and your family. Thought of you today when I heard the news that this coming season all Red Sox games will be in real time and as long as you are not local can be viewed on an itouch/phone.! menehune

menehune, I am fine. Thanks! I have just been a bad blogger lately. Very busy with the end of the semester combined with Christmas stress. Two weeks of vacation coming up. Hoping to catch up with everyone then. Thanks for the tip about the Sox games on the iTouch! Guess in this case it is good to not be local :) I have been following all the trades, etc. Sad to see Mikey go (if he does).

Mikey and Jason Bay - Bay is a big loss! But that is what happens when you become 'famous' and on a winning team....
