[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am spending most of this week on a business trip to Milan. I took advantage of the opportunity to spend a night in Padova, visiting a friend. I had never been there before. The city is breathtakingly beautiful. In my estimation, it beats both Rome and Florence in this regard. I spend this morning walking around the city and touring the university, one of the oldest in Europe, before taking the train to Milan. Three vignettes from this morning?s walk. Two ladies on Via Cesarotti: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-f2g6Tdx/A I have seen many beautiful squares in the world, but I cannot think of any that surpasses Prato della Valle in Padova: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-LfSzrgd/A Bridge: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-VQTCR52/A The square also had a nice little food market where I bought a kilo of excellent organic apples for ?1.80, and of course several caf?s, in one of which I warmed up with an excellent capuccino. Incidentally, I have gone back to Leica M8 for this trip, as I am temporarily Fuji-less at the moment (in the middle of upgrading from X-T1 to T2). It works great as long as there is good light. I also have the little Ricoh GRII with me, of course. MUCH more to come.
