More photos from the Getty Villa

I promised you more photos from Mark and my trip to the Getty Villa and here they are: slow down and savor the loveliness in the lines of the columns, statues, flowered ceilings and more.

Venus Alcove

 

Replica of ancient fountain of the Large Fountain at Pompeii: tiles, shells and theatre masks

 

Several fountains had lilies in the water that encourage a lingering look

 

 

In the herb garden this grape arbor offered shady on a sunny late summer afternoon

 

 

In the same garden, this blooming pom tree

 

 

Even the ceilings on the porches are painted, which reminded me of Firenze/Florence Italy. I think this could make a serene computer screen wallpaper.

 

 

Finally, the interior pools and gardens lined with maidens, arms gracefully arched bidding us to be calm.
