“Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar!” (An Italian Proverb)

In the last few days a good BP friend of mine has expressed a huge interest in coins thrown into a fountain. This gave me the idea to search my archives, and to post this photo of coins carrying people’s wishes, thrown into a different fountain for this month’s theme entry. My coin is in there too! Photo was taken in 2008.

I tossed this coin ('er I mean image) right into favorites Rolan! I love all of the colors and the meaning behind it all. Think of all of the wishes in there.

Wonderful Brother Rolan! -Laura

  What a fabulous shot! Where was the fountain? One does think of Rome... from the movie, maybe?? Wonderful light and colors here. I couldn't help but think that maybe in the current ecnomonic situation, some poor souls might be wading in the water trying to take them OUT! Hmmm. Actually I've seen that happen here and there.. Well done, Rolan! Thank you for that lovely birthday forward, too!
