Not exactly Rome but a nice place and a great shot :)

Ha ha ha, thanks Lucien! Rome is metaphorically quoted here, see comments above. Let me put it that way: it was scorching hot, so after wandering around for a while I needed something to quench the thirst.

I knew that " In vino Veritas " but " In Beer Veritas " I didn't...

You will be amazed to know how many great proverbs we have paraphrased in these lands, Lucien. It must be the beer, ha ha ha!

Great shot. Looks like a great place to find a beer.

Love this street shot , What did you do with all the cars and People?

PRO+

Thanks Liz! It was around 10.30 AM when I took the photo. This is a one-way street leading to the Chepstow Castle, on the banks of river Wye. There is no photoshop here. How I managed to dispense with cars and people I am sure you can guess... patience.

Superb !.....Wonderful street scene !

Thanks Trisha!

Great dof and leading lines, Mick! How lovely! :)

PRO+

I must admit, I had a big smile on my face when I saw how the photo came out, Kathy. Thanks a lot!

Leading lines, nice beer, no parking, all the people are in the pus, or may have been abducted, the former more plausible though. Great shot Mick

Thanks Graham! The shot was taken around 10.00 AM GMT with the sun climbing up the sky and sending hot beams eastwards. It was right in the heatwave and mercury at that point was showing 30 degrees. Those who had more common sense than me stayed in...
