Things are often scary out of context: La Villa, Italy

     These are the same picture. The top one is cropped to only show the gondola of the tram up to the top of the mountain above La Villa, Italy. We stayed in La Villa - the Dolomites -for five days. When I look at the two pictures the top one looks pretty scary. You cannot tell how high it is or what relationship it has to the earth. How big are the wires holding it up?
     In the longer shot, one can see the town below and another gondola about 100  feet behind (or in Italian "thirty meters"). A good deal of travel fear is like that. When you think of a place as if in isolation it may seem a little frightening. They don't speak English in La Villa. Who made those cables?
     In the large context we are all people with the same emotions, desires and concerns. We all share the same globe. We have lots more in common than we have differences. Kindness begets kindness. We are all in this together.
