permanent; certain; firm.
The decision won’t be set in stone until
we release the documents.

Every arch has a keystone at its top.

With out a keystone all archs would collapse…

Completed nearly 2,000 years ago and mostly

still standing Rome’s Colosseum

is an ideal example…

…of the reliability of keystones.

Rome’s Trevi Fountain proved…

 

…a good spot…

…for people shots.

 

By the time we reached Paris we had learned

that our priority entry did not mean that we

were the only company, or coach,

at the attraction. …

However, after we had been shown around

both inside, and outside, the Palace…

 

…we discovered that there was susbtantially more coaches waiting than when we arrived. 

Late commer’s were queing for two to three hundred metres waiting for their chance to enter Versailles Palace.

  It was moments like these that made me forever grateful for our priority/early entrance.

Trevi Fountain in Rome…

…was so crowded that it was difficult to get close

to the fountain, or simply move around.

maximalism

maximalism, a reaction against minimalism,
is an aesthetic of excess.
The philosophy can be summarized as “more is more”,
contrasting with the minimalist motto “less is more”.
