I have decided I'm mad for Petra. It's strong, pert, primal, and appeals to my enjoyment of kitsch. I'm not saying that Petra is a "cheap" name, no no. But it immediately puts me in mind of pteradactyls and chunky amber jewelery and Pebbles Flintstone and saucy leopard-print frocks. I'm not sure why I think of that before the beautiful, rose-coloured ancient city of Petra, which should give it a more glamourous and eerie-historical air, but I do.

But hey, even if the city doesn't come to my mind right away, it likely will for others, and having that as background colour is nothing to sneeze at. Seriously, pictures of Petra take my breath away.
