Here are the guidelines: You select one of your own photos to post that in some way utilizes the topic. Use the topic as a concrete prompt, or find a novel approach. Each person, just one post/photo per thread topic, (or two if you must)please. Photos should be resized to be no wider than 600 pixels. Too-large photos slow down the loading of the thread, and will be deleted. Read about how to post a photo in a thread, here . If you have an idea for a photo hunt topic, contact one of the Mods to offer the suggestion instead of beginning another thread.
Posting photos in the thread gives your permission for SlowTrav to eventually move the photos over to Photohunt albums in the SlowPhotos Galleries .
This week's prompt is "long."
You're encouraged to describe your photo--where you shot it, details of what you were doing or what was going on, etc.
A "long" stream of EVOO poured with theatrical expertise by Dante at Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano. I had a wicked delicious "MacDario" burger with 3 ladies I've met solely due to Slowtrav.com! Claudia Moore(FurKidsMom),Pamela Sheldon Johns and Nora Kravis who owns Chianti Cashmere. A fun time was had by all. I was thrilled to meet the Maestro of Meat himself, Dario! What a love!

Our longest vertical climb was along a series of stairways from the main Corso in Modica, past San Giorgio cathedral (pictured here) and much further up to where we had parked our car. Of the three "Baroque cities," Modica is our favorite.

Here is a picture of me using a long rolling pin to make pasta in Bologna during our cooking lesson with Marcello's wife Raefella. Now that was a long process. In fact preparing the whole meal took a long time, 3 hours I believe until we sat down to enjoy the fruits of our labor. It was great fun though and the meal was delicious if I do say so myself.
Got to love those "long rolling pins". I am always keeping my eye open for one here - will I use it? Will I find one? You never know on either question .
Pat that really is a wonderfully long hair-pinning road. Wow.
This is a great subject/thread. Terrific pictures. Thank you. W.

In may 2008 when we were there that road was going to re-open for traffic "soon". it had been closed to adjust the hillside to keep rocks from falling ion people on the road.

I know Rob would have loved to have been the first one on that road when it opened. I can even hear the echo of the engine as the sound would/could waft up the canyon.
