Fresco Hoodies

This white dove was landing on a bush decorating the garden wall of the house of the golden bracelet in Pompeii. Well at least, that's my story, if you have a better one let me know

A lovely fresco from the triclinium (formal dining room) of the House of Livia in Rome. Livia was the wife of Augustus, who became 1st Emperor of Rome after the death of Julius Caesar.

A painting of a glass bowl filled with pomegranates from the Vesuvius-engulfed Villa of Poppea, wife of Roman emperor Nero, in Oplontis, near Pompeii (1st century AD)

An other of those gorgeous birds from the frescoes decorating the house of the Golden Bracelet in Pompeii. The roman painters were so talented you wouldn't be surprised to hear the bird sing on its branch !
