The great horse race

We visited Siena yesterday where twice a year is a great horse in the center of the city, Piazza del Campo.  Below is a picture of the race which is run in July and August.

 The scene was much calmer for us.  Once again, we found the lure of these center of the city piazzas.

 It was also finally warming up.  I hear it is finally warming in Minnesota also.  Of course, their main Church, another Duomo, is majestic and a real treasure.  

We climbed to a high viewing point to see the whole city.  

It made me stop and again treasure what God has given us in our abilities.  We can be creative and life giving in all we do.  Thank you, God.
