Cats from Rome {Italy}

on
st peters square rome
forum rome

I found these two postcards while in Rome last year. They were created by the famous Giancarlo Gasponi, author of the photo books Rome Revealed, Rome. Water and Stone, Portrait Of Rome, and Rome. Fascination Of Art and History. The first postcard portrays a cat at the St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. The second postcard has cats posing in front of the Roman forum, once the centre of the Roman empire.

    Wonderful! When I was in Rome, I saw a cat at the Colosseum.

    We come across many traveling cats in our travels. Cats who travel in an RV quite nicely. Nice to meet you too, BTW.

    Love the photo of the cat in the carriage. And a blogging cat, how can you top that?

    These are wonderful pictures, and I had no idea they were postcards till you said so. I love the rich fancy cat riding in his own carriage! Stumble upon huh? Maybe I should go there and look around. I really hope you don't change your blog too much, it is PERFECT just the way it is!

    Ils ont l'air très sérieux ces chats, très dignes.
    En lisant les questions et les réponses, en particulier celle sur le redesign de ton blog, il y a une chose que je continue à me demander. Pourquoi est ce que la couleur blanche est sensée faire plus sérieux ? Un blog, pour être attirant ne doit il pas être coloré, chaleureux ?
    Je dois fonctionner à l'envers.....

    What a very cool blog! I am obsessed with Italy (believing that I was a fiery Italian in a past life!), so I really love the postcards! Thanks so much for sharing! This is my first visit to your site, but I'll be back! :)

    Loved the Italian kitties at the top.

    Congratulations on having an awesome year.

    You may have better luck in the search engines if you tag your photos properly. I'm a WordPress person, not Blogger so I'm not sure what your blog back end looks like. But in WordPress, we can tag every photo with terms that are search engine friendly.

    Then you need to repeat those keywords in any text you write.

    And yes, Stumbleupon is great for photography sites. I got my best hit ever from Stumbleupon. Unfortunately, SU users don't don't usually hang around.

    I love stopping by your blog! You have such amazing cat photos! I never get to travel, so it is a little bit like I get to travel through you. I love the way you use photos that have an artistic quality to them. In my opinion, the best ways to get ranked on Google are to post on Google+ and to use good SEO.

    I visited France and Italy with my hubby for our honeymoon. We saw several cats wandering the cobblestone streets. I always imagined they had some exotic story to tell.

    The black cat reminds me of Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter series

    Bellissime foto, ti è piaciuta Roma? Io X fortuna ci vivo ed è sempre un piacere vedere le foto di voi viaggiatori perché per lo stesso panorama, c'è un qualcosa di personale nella foto. Se ti và dai uno sguardo anche alle mie di foto, che ho fatto nello stesso punto di questa foto! Un saluto. Davide.
