Photo a day series on hold

All of our belongings are in transit now, which means that for the moment, we don't have access to our computers and photos. Therefore we'll have to put the Photo a Day series on hold.

We're in Gig Harbor, WA for a bit. The weather is about 10 degrees cooler than in Rome and 20 degrees warmer than in Reykjavik.
