Winter Swam

The lost goose which got mixed up with the ducks on the river Po has traveled further up the river, now it is on the other side of Vittorio bridge. 

Still separated from its group, but it seems happy to be in this new environment.

In Metro

Turin doesn't has an extensive Metro line, but it is pretty conformable to take, not too crowded and although is rather small, but it is clean and tidy.

It is almost fascinating to travel in the Metro....

Shadow And Light Under The Arcade

One of the view always attracted my eyes is the shadow created by the beams of sun light shining through the arcade in Torino.

Along Via Po

 Along Corso Vittorio Emanuele ll

 Along Via Pietro Mica

Torino has many long arcades along some of the main streest, some are well decorated and some are not so well maintained. Nevertheless, whenever the light shines through, it creates an amazing, spectacular view.

Riding In Early Winter

Along the river Po, the trail is covered full of fallen leaves, regardless the cold, still many cyclists and runners doing their outdoor hobby along this trail.

Met this cyclist while taking a walk back to the town center.

Witches Of The Chocolate Fair

Every year in November the town has the Chocolate Fair, exhibiting and selling all kind of chocolates.This year they had it at piazza San Carlo again.
Not being a real fan of chocolate, I just briefly walked through the piazza and this group of ladies dressed up in traditional costume caught my eyes. People went around each stand where these ladies were and got chocolates from them, not sure what was it about....

Anyway, they gave me an impression of witches.....

Cirko Vertigo Red Devil

For the Christmas Season, various performances are arranged to entertain the public in piazza Castello. One of these is the Cirko Vertigo which I enjoy a lot seeing their show.
The performers are hung and lifted up by cable attached to a big wheel which is raised up slowing when the show begun.

Out of all the performers, this red devil is especially stand out.

Christmas Tree

This year a new Christmas is placed in piazza Castello, quite pretty and obviously very bright.

Autumn Riverside Walk

This time of the year, along the river Po, the stretch of walk from one bridge to the other bridge is covered by golden fallen leaves. Although the evening is pretty cold, but the color of Autumn is so beautiful and the place is so peaceful, thus makes the walk very pleasant.

CDP December Theme :Shop Window

This is for the CDP Decembre theme : Let's Look In Your Shop Window.
The first one belongs to a shop with beautiful things for Christmas, love their dreamy child like, fairytale style....

The second one belongs to a toys shop's Halloween decoration, their comical style creepiness captured pretty well the atmosphere of Halloween.
