[Leica] Nathan's PAD 29/11/2016: three vignettes from Padova

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Ah, Padua! Italy is a gorgeous country and just full of wonderful cities.

You've taken some lovely images of a place I've sadly had to bypass on many 
occasions. Always meant to see it, but was always rushing either to, or 
from, some airport. Maybe I'll get there some time in the future.
