Bicycle touring Sardinia. Staring
at the pavement we battled onward until my next photo stop where
I scrambled from my bike and meandered amongst ancient rocks
looking for a suitable angle for my subject. Finally, realizing
that all sides were equally photogenic, I peered through my 24mm
Zeiss wide angle lens and focused on the prehistoric, three-story
beehive-shaped dome of volcanic basalt called a nuraghe.
Sardinia boasted more than seven thousand of the intriguing structures.
(I hazarded to bet that the only thing more ubiquitous on the
tiny island were sheep.) |
