Street Photography

We left the apartment this morning with a specific destination in mind.

We made it there, no worries.

But I’ll share that story and the images from that part of our day in another footprint.

I keep telling myself to keep the phone in my pocket when we are heading somewhere so that I am not tempted to take photos. I inevitably fail. Bologna just has so many interesting things that catch my eye.

On today’s wander, we came across a flea market in Piazza Santo Stefano; found the door to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher open — part of Basilica Santuario di Santo Stefano (aka the Seven Churches) — and checked out a chapel on a hall that was behind a locked door when we visited last fall; walked by the the first Maserati workshop … a museum of sorts that is currently closed; spied all kinds of interesting doors and antique knockers; window shopped at sweets shops that are colorfully decorated in anticipation of Easter; caught glimpses of Torre degli Asinelli — one of the two leaning towers of Bologna — peeking above buildings lining narrow streets; and even strolled through the all but deserted Galleria Cavour … with its budget-buster brand shops.

A delightful stroll to be sure.Læs mere
