In the Words of Lord Byron
16 Tuesday Apr 2019
Posted in Travel
“I saw the Cascata del Marmore of Terni twice, at different periods, once from the summit of the precipice, and again from the valley below. The lower view is far to be preferred, if the traveller has time for one only; but in any point of view, either from above or below, it is worth all the Cascades and Torrents of Switzerland put together. . . .”
As both perspectives are seen in photos by our Italian friends,
Who know the Switzerland which Byron goes on to put down.

- Once from the summit

- Again from the valley below
