An Italian weekend reflection

Some of the 78 statues on the Prato della Valle square in Padova/Padua, depicting famous historical people. To name but a few: Galileo Galilei, Torquato Tasso... The Prato is, with 90.000 square meters, one of the world's largest public squares. More info here. And more weekend reflections here.
 

Weekend in black & white

Early this morning at the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, Roma, la citta eterna. Tom Hanks went into some trouble there... :-)
My first time in Rome, after over 35 years... One bit of advice, maybe... AVOID THE METRO AT ALL COST!!! It is somewhere between abysmal and catastrophic, an utter disgrace.

Well, as usual, take a look at the Dragonstar's den, over there.
And you will enjoy more reflections here.

Petite France

For this new blog of mine, I decided to be a little more artistic, using different programs and filters.
This is the area called Petite France, or little France, a UNESCO World Heritage site. More about it here. Incidentally, the town is 2027 years old...

Parti pris artistique pour ce nouveau blog, en utilisant les outils dont je dispose. La Petite France, quartier classe au Patrimoine Mondial de l'humanite par l'UNESCO depuis 1988, date du bimillenaire de la ville. Plus d'infos ici.
