Doodling at the park-Florence

A giraffe in St Marks Square

...in Italy it is almost carnival time, and during the carnival in Venice it is quite easy to bump into a giraffe in St. Mark's Square. I took this photo a few years ago while enjoying the surreal fun of the Venetian carnival.

Packaging and reflections III

A patisserie close to the Bastille

...a souvenir from a few years ago, I wonder whether this patisserie still exists, what a marvellous alibi to plan a long weekend in Paris!

At the Cini Foundation, Venice

Florentine cloisters

I was thinking about Florence...

I was thinking about Venice...

...and while I was going through my photo files I found this shot I took at the Cini Foundation, a stunning setting. I remember hearing the echo of piano playing, someone was practising for a forthcoming piano competition on the Island of San Giorgio. I remember that while I was listening to the music, I was walking past a large room where the window was wide open and long white organza-like curtains were floating,...I now wonder whether it was just a dream, too beautiful to be real!
