How would you define romanticism? To Gregory it is mood. Nothing sets that mood faster or more solidly in the mind than old quaint places. The Villages of Italy and the Streets of Paris all hold that essence of a Romantic mood. Combined with the portrayal of light, these images are Iconic. They have a timeless enchantment and optimistic attitude, a thrilling sense of de`ja`vu.  They convey that yearning to be there, whether you have ever been or not.
