"What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters." -Charles Baudelaire. Heidelberg, Germany. There are some photo which I take that simply don't need to be edited. I love simply beauty, a moment locked in time, there best when one can't identify the century, but this one is just perfect.  For more follow me on Instagram: @among_honest_thieves

\ "You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand." - Charles Spurgeon (Heidelberg, Germany)

I am all for travel, provided stay away from most tourist hot spots. A rule of thumb I have lived by for many years. Now does't get me wrong, I have seen Rome, lived in London, traveled to Berlin, but it's just not the same as the smaller towns, cities, and villages. I have found more memorable times in these small places than in any big city, adventures in the Middle East in places I have never heard of or would know how to spell.  However I was thoroughly pleased with the sites and sound of the beautiful city of Verona. A lovely place were the small town feel of true Italy is mixed with the beautiful sites and amazing restaurants of the tourist infested city of Rome.  A picture is worth a thousand words they say, I hope these ones speak.  For more follow me on Instagram @among_honest_thieves. 

If old forgotten ruins could speak they would say: "Quod Fuimus, Estis; Quod Sumus, Vos Eritis." "What we were, you are; what we are, you will be." -Whitby, England.

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. Simply beauties that others claim to be complex, because they fail to to see it's simplicity.
