The inscription over the entrance to one of the Etruscan tombs at the Necropolis del Crocifisso del Tufo (my husband was pointing as he was reading it to me - yeah, he can read Etruscan).
The necropolis is situated below the town of Orvieto (which sadly we did not have time to visit), made by tufa rocks and in use mainly from the middle of the 6th century B.C. and then some hundred years (though the area actually was in use in total from the 8th to the 3rd centuries B.C). There are some 70 family tombs, built almost like small houses, with an entrance and straight walls and a door-opening (and inscriptions over the doors, telling who is buried where).

The weekly Conrail power move from Reading to Enola approaches its destination as it crosses the Rockville Bridge. This assemblage of local power from Reading, usually predominated by former Reading SW900’s, SW1500’s, and MP15’s, could also include GP10’s, GP15-1’s and GP38’s. These locos were mostly assigned to five-day a-week jobs, and were serviced at Enola on the weekends. This day’s lineup included eight SW900’s, an MP15, a GP38-2, a GP15-1, and an outlier SD50.
sometimes, a defeaning silence covers the streets. those moments, anyone can invent a new alphabet. anyone.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
I am always grateful for your comments, favourites and support. Thank you and take care.
When I say that I'm a "travel photographer" (which is not actually something I say a lot, but it's been mentioned), I don't mean that I fly around the world to National Geographic locations. I generally don't fly at all.*
By travel, I mean that I generally don't shoot at home. I travel (drive) to the locations I photograph.
Usually, it's about three to five hours away from where I live. And often it's just a daytrip.
Once a year, I am fortunate enough to take a month off and travel the US by car. Then, I am mostly camping, staying in hotels only when I "have" to. Usually the camping is free and in a tent. I don't like sleeping in my car.
For me, photography is how I interpret the world outside of my daily world. I don't carry a camera with me basically ever (unless I'm traveling).
I'm sure flying with big cameras and film isn't that much of a pain in the ass. And I see the draw in being able to essentially teleport ones self to your destination. It allows you to explore that destination much more thoroughly than I am usually able to. There's a great benefit to this.
But I am also a travel photographer in the sense that I photograph what I see while I'm literally traveling.
In this photo, taken looking towards Steptoe Butte in the Palouse area of eastern Washington, I literally stopped on the road, got out of the car, grabbed my RB67, and took the shot.
I don't think there's some big controversy over what is and isn't travel photography (unlike the ridiculous arguments over what is and isn't street photography), but it's at least something to think about while I'm apparently taking some sort of break.
*I've flown three times in my life - 1984, 2007, 2020. Will I ever do it again?

Paris 2015. I love walking in street of Paris each hour of day or night.
It gives sense of time passing as I meet people in many kinds of situations..
