Well, I am not a photographer, but I was scanning today some pictures of Rome to upload next week into my website and I found this one, of this cat I wanted to frame in the Eternal Town. You might maybe know that Rome is one of the most "cat loving" towns in the world, and that among its ancient ruins many of the beloved felines hang around like Kings and Queens indeed.
As I saw this picture though, I got a certain sense of atmosphere, so I wanted to share it with you all.
Enjoy :) (hope you will.. :)

what a great shot meli hugz!
L'immagine molto carina, mi ha fatto piacere veder pubblicata una tua foto: ribadisco quanto dissi tempo fa: sei brava anche in questo! :-) P.S.: Come mai la donna si copre il volto? Legge sulla privacy? :-))
penso stesse solo rispondendo al telefonino :) E' di spalle ;)
Meli!! U know that we all love your photographical escapades... Cool.. to make the conection with the catloving Roma.. and the columns in the photo... Very cool!! =)
Aaaaah! The Pencil Lady is also a Shutterbug! What a nice Photo and lovely words. Great.
the shot is taken in December , so it's winter Lucia, you're right :) And thank you man.. I hope teh Photography Community won't think I want to invade here with my crappy pics because be sure.. i won't :) But I loved to share the lil cat as well, in the week of cats ;)
una spettacolare fotografia...!!! le rovine delle colonne mostrano la cosa imponente che furono le antiche costruzioni romane...molte grazie per condividerla con noi...!!
Superb work, Meli!! Una fotografia di molta bellezza! Brava!!
I'm sure there is a certain sport in presenting oneself silhouetted against a ruin. Playing a hunch can be as much fun as the most imperial pose.
Maybe you are not a photographer honey but this is fantastic photo and very pro-looking!!!Amazing..
Great shot
As I told you earlier, that lady at the left is making this picture a real proper photograph. Without her the entire piece would look a bit cut. Which almost all 'normal' pictures do though by anyone..there are the tiny details that makes the biggest impacts. Cute cat too. Reminds me of Simon. :)
I thought of Simon too when I saw it Micke :)And I imagined you would have loved the picture then :) Thank you everyone...You are just too cute :)
So, there is more people than me beeing owned by a Simon. I am sure that this cat is king of the place, his pose tell that. The whole pic is a wonderful shot, and I agree that the lady to the left is contributing a lot.
Any photos you'll share with us will be appreciated by me so much, because each one affords me a tiny glimpse of your world... many hugs Meli :-)
It smells of winter, when the air is more damp than cold...
Beautiful image!!!
This photo is nice. Monuments in back are great,but hey ! There is cat ! and her guard bauty. Thank You for it.
Lovely photo! Lots of atmosphere there!
It's nice to know that there are cats that rule other parts of the world too, and not just my home. Seeing photos of other places, especially Rome, is always facinating and fun to view. Thanks for sharing this one, I enjoyed looking very much.
You share so much Meli. Rome kicks ass! Not that I've been there but I'd love to one day. I see the pussy is looking at the collusseum? Perhaps a reincarnated emporer or slayed Christian? mmmmmm Thanks Ms. M. Just lovely.
Beautiful photo Meli, makes me want to visit right this second long audible sigh. Thanks SO much for sharing your little bit of the world :DHUGS

I love the scope of this...the worlds within worlds within worlds
Very interesting picture. And I think you are right, he is the king of Rome!

A beautiful photo, Meli! Looking forward to more!
I love that the cat is the focal point among those marvelous columns, the ornate black fence and the beautiful archeture in the background. I can see why you picture the atmosphere in this photo. Beautiful Meli!
A women of many talents. I'm sure the cat loves in the photography forum would love this one. nice work. I'm gonna have to start some drawings to post.
Beautiful Shot, Mel! I love the contrast of the little cat to the tall columns, as if such a small creature could actually imagine it could possibly have ruled the world as such. Great picture and a Stunning addition to your Gallery!
