inSPIREd Sunday

This church was undergoing restoration when
 I visited Rome back in May.  It's 
Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte (Prayer and Death) . . .

which may explain this symbolism that
appears in multiple places on the façade.

Traveling Tuesdays

This is Via Giulia, in Rome.
Now why doesn't my block in Brooklyn 
(or any other I've ever lived on) look like this?
