Paul in his letter to the Romans says : hate what is evil love what is good… live in harmony with one another… Never be wise in your own eyes.
Romans 12 : bits of verses 9 and 16
We are on our way back home but will stop at different places on the way. Trulli was a little out of the way but very interesting.
About 50 miles from Bari (the port in Italy that we arrived at from Greece) is Trulli.
Here is a reason they had in the 15 th Century. The king in Naples issued an edict that urban settlements had to pay tax.
The crafty people of Tuli designed a circular house with a pointed roof. This point had a capstone under it. Removal of it made the house a pile of stones . A canny way to avoid tax when the King’s man came along.
Many of the houses are used by holiday makers but a few are still lived in.
Red and white Dahlias blooming well.
dry stone walls dividing fields.
They are making hay.
A summer scene.
We have travelled a lot today.
Sandy 🙂
The shelter of excuses has a leaky roof.
Compromise makes a good umbrella , but a poor roof.
Ron Kaufman, James Russell Lowell
What an interesting town to visit Sandy! Houses are not build like those anymore. It’s just little boxes put together in a short time nowadays
It was so creative to build like that. A few people still have the skill. They are cool in summer and warm in winter. Architects study them for their unique design.
Very interesting and creative roof tops. That is quite the skilled task to build. 🙂
They are beautifully made.
