When I look at this picture, I always smile. You see I was walking down the steps of the old city when I took this one. No one told me that cars were not allowed in the old city. There are parking lots on the outside of the city. My writing conference was in a hotel at the highest point by the cathedral, and I had to walk. The walk up approximately 1600 meters upward according to my estimation was a challenge. The second evening, when I walked down to go to the parking lot, this view of the sky caused me to stand still and enjoy the peace Matera offered me.
Be safe this weekend.
