Tuesday Photo Challenge – Street
Frank’s theme this week is Street.
When I first watched the movie “The Italian Job,” those narrow streets fascinated me. I was so impressed by the drivers maneuvered the Mini Coopers through those narrow streets.
Our trip to Spain allowed me to visit those narrow streets. Some streets did have cars going up and down, except that the pedestrians must be very attentive when cars going through.
This street took us to The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba also known as the Great Mosque of Córdoba.
In Valencia, we had an afternoon free. We were roaming on the street to find a restaurant for an early dinner.
We were on this street before visiting the Cave Houses – houses that are constructed inside of caves.

My Dear, This was a great post! Loved the streets. Yes, You and I had the same reaction to those driving scenes in the “Italian Job”, good movie!
I just wanted to let You know how very much I am indebted to You for the Poem that resulted from Your “Tunnel of Music” and Your inspirational and gentle nudge that ended up in me writing ” A Special Time With Him”, the poem about My Dad. I have scheduled it for posting on Friday the 16th. I hope You will take the time to come see what Your blessed encouragement helped bring to blossom!
Bless You My Dear!!!!

Thank you, Teresa! You’re a great supporter! I had some urgent matter, didn’t get to do the poem. My 40 years old Singer sewing machine broke all the bobbins, I had to run around to find one that is the right model. Got some wrong one, need to return, but got some correct one, eventually.

Absolutely. I agree! Plus, it’s had all the years of being your partner in sewing, it’s like it has built up that loving and effective partnership with you, maybe it is invested with good sewing “karma”!

We visited one – as part of the tour. The owner bought certain cave space, and he could sell part of it for others to build a home. I don’t know how it works – who owns the mountain and the caves in the first place…

I know how it feel. Two nights ago the ringing was so loud that I felt like my head was going to explode. With such bright and constant stimulation, there was no way I could fall asleep. I used the wooden pegs to rub my head, used my fingers to put pressure on different points of my skull, and cuffed my ear, and rubbed my ear – anything I could think of. Finally I exhausted myself and fell asleep. Miriam

Hi Miriam. I also rub my head when my tinnitus gets loud…I can feel the relation between the tinnitus and the muscles and pressure points in my head…this is why I’m trying alternative help to see if will make a difference…I’ll let you know how I get on! Take care Miriam x

It’s something positive to look forward to. The youtube my husband watched last night linked high blood pressure to tinnitus. Perhaps for some, it would be the case. At least for mine, it has some connection, but not all!

Yes, I wonder if they are from the ancient time. Many of the cathedrals in Spain are built inside of the Muslim structure – they kept the shell, rebuilt inside. There are many Roman structures left also. The modern streets may not have those characters I think!
