Rooftop - Duomo, Milano

Took these with a crappy camera, but the view was amazing.

Chic winter girls

Europe in general have been incredibly cold these last two weeks, in fact they say that Italy is experiencing one of its coldest winters in 30 years. I also happened to be in Berlin for one of the coldest weekends ever, I think at one point it was about - 18'degrees or something.  All I know is the weather made me feel hysterical  for most parts of my weekend. What fascinated me most was how the Berlin girls managed to look so chic even in the coldest of weather. I of course was the opposite of winter chic, I piled on everything  I had in my suitcase. I call the look yeti-chic, the many layers causing me to also walk like one too. Winter 1: Edna 0

And more snow!!

Su Nuraxi, Barumini, Sardinia

 

The nuraghi are the archeological traces of the ancient cultures that lived in Sardinia from about 1500 B.C.  These rock towers looks like a heap of rocks from afar, but once up close it is pretty amazing to see the detail in them, how they were built, how many of them have several floors withe niches. I am quite in awe how they built with such giant stones. The one in the picture is close to Barumini and probably one of the most famous nuraghe in Sardinia. They suspect that this nurahge was used as a symbol of power or as a sacred space.
