I love Guell palace and park, what a visionary. <br /><br />The Pantheon is special because of its domed ceiling design with the hole in the roof but it wasn't the architecture that impressed me.<br /><br />You will think I'm mad and I'm not usually sensitive to such things, but when I first saw that building I heard a sound like an orchestra of lower pitch instruments droning one note. That is the nearest I can describe the sound. I was immediately struck by the immense age of the Pantheon, it was as if the energy of its ancient past was still resonating from it.patchouligirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462983717621525841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-49380175242638818032009-08-25T11:15:29.269+10:002009-08-25T11:15:29.269+10:00Puss, yesterday I returned from abroad where I vis...Puss, yesterday I returned from abroad where I visited the Salt Gallery on Rottnest Island.

I didn't understand before I saw them in real life, and wondered what everyone was going on about them for, but seeing them in real life was just wow! I am hooked.
