Split

Rain again! Nothing interesting to photograph except people under the rain ( actually in the photo, it was a mix of snow and rain ), such as these 4 persons in piazza Castello, maybe they are not related at all, but to me it seems like the women are parting way with the two men, opposits repels.

Interesting to note that, women carry umbrellas and men don't....

The Hanging Scarves

 Few days ago while in the pharmacy, a young man came in and asked if we are locals, then he asked about why there are scarves hanging on the trees in the park of Porta Palatine....We had no idea....

So, out of curiosity, we went to check it out, and there were various scarves hanging on the trees and on the gate into the park.

After some research, realised that it is sort of a movement to encourage people to hand out their scarves for those who in need of them but can't afford to have one for the cold winter....

The scarves are mainly for children and beside Porta Palatine, scarves are also hanging on the trees in piazza Statuto.

End of 2017, is time to choose our own best shot of the year. 2017 wasn't a great year for me regarding making photos, was too busy to really put more effort into creating better photos, however this shot of the arcade in piazza Carlo Alberto has to be my favourite .

Love the light and the composition and the lovely lady who walked exactly in the center of the arcade. Thanks Miss ....:)
