A "Who-Done-It"

Prone Body, Merry-Go-Round, Piazza Navona, Rome, Italy

Early one morning,
 in the ancient city of Roma,
 in a deserted Piazza Navona,
 by a motionless Merry-Go-Round,
lay a mysterious body,
 still and quiet... deathly quiet.

Who-done-it?

    Too funny! I didn't get the title until I opened the photo. Nicely framed :) And probably a comforting spot to sleep?

    Fabulous post Doug. I think a horse and a bottle of Scotch may have been involved.

    I never realised that horses had to have a regular oil-change.

    A merry-go-round is always exciting, bringing out the child in us.

    Who-broke-the merry-go-round? Looks like some creative cropping of a repair guy.
