Grottos

You see, unlike most writers today, I do not use a computer. I write the old-fashioned way: on the walls of caves.
~Cuthbert Soup


So today, we're hiding in the caves and not coming out until it's safe out there. What do you say? There's room.

These are beautiful! Particularly loved The Grotto of Yursuf with the sun shining into the mist in the background. Lovely piece.

Also thought that the Carlo Bossoli painting was extremely interesting.

Loved the Cuthbert Soup quote. Started my day with a giggle...which is now echoing throughout the cave. :-)
