Some nice pictures


I love this picture of my dad. I took it while he was slowly going down the stairs in the parking lot outside the walls of Sienna. He walks very slowly, specially when he's on his way down and it just struck me as a sort of a visual metaphor on age. An old and somehow fragile man against the hard and angular concrete.

This one is just funny. Taken in Arezzo, near the church of San Francesco. Both faces look like they've been actually tortured frozen into the metal.

The last one for today is also a very curious detail of a big building and it was taken in the old part of town in Genoa, Italy. The building was very old, 1500's but the face looks very fresh and too humorous to be that old. What do you think? A modern take while remodeling a portico's details? Or a truly Renaissance piece of irreverent art?
