corner view:  water

Welcome!  This weeks theme is from Trinsch. 
 

I've just returned from a trip to Napoli, a beloved city who offers countless opportunities for images of water.  I had big plans for photos of l'aqua; unfortunately, there was a bit too much water in the form of rain and fog, so my dear camera remained safe and snug in my bag most of the time :(

A Rainy Thursday Afternoon in the Heart of Naples

Instead, I offer a piece about a way that l'aqua calda (hot water) is  currently important in my life.  The temperatures have dropped, and while we've delayed it a bit, it's time to get the heat going in this little casa of ours.

We have a system of riscaldamento pavimento,  or floor heating, in our home sweet home.  It's essentially a series of tubes beneath the flooring through which the hot water circulates, providing ambient heat for our home.

Yep.  It's nice.  Really nice.  In our house is takes a day or so to get going . . . so our toes are cold, very cold.  I hope you are warm and cozy in your corner of the world.

Jane from Spain is still out and about -- lucky girl.  We miss your besos, Jane.  Hurry back!  Thanks again Trinsch for a great theme.

I, having totally forgotten to ask someone else to do so,  have selected next week's theme for us: contrasts. Take it where you care to, i miei cv amici.

And, while I'm thinking of it:   Joyce, would you mind selecting the theme for the following week? I'd sure appreciate it greatly, my friend.  I think Ms. Jane might be home in Spain by then.
