Photo Friday rolls in a bit late this week because some of the eCool team have hit the road and are enjoying a long and lovely weekend in Paris. So, from the City of Light & Love, we bring you an image of the city called Eternal.
Susan Sanders took this photograph of a young tourist testing out the Bocca della Verita (or Mouth of Truth) at the church of San Maria in Cosmedin in late summer. As the brave boy dares this ancient drain cover to bite off his hand, the warm raking light of summer throws shadows across the walls and floor of the narthex of the church. (If you don’t know the how dangerous it can be to stick your hand in the Mouth of Truth, we suggest you catch up on Roman folklore with a remedial viewing of Roman Holiday!)
