Just before the second lockdown, I went down to the Royal park to see if there was anything interesting to photograph.
It was quiet and not many people there, the leaves were in gorgeous color before falling off at the end of the Autumn.
A small group was sitting in the middle of an open patch enjoying a bit of peace and nature.

This pedestrians lane is in the middle of Corso Siccardi, there are benches on the sides which usually are occupied by the homeless at night and by people to sit down to take a rest during the day time.
It is also a good place to observe the change of the season, as the trees along the lane changes colors as the season changes. The best sight is of course in autumn.
Location : Corso Siccardi
When I was wondering in the San Paolo Distinct, through Google Map, I noticed a Zen garden nearby. Out of curiosity, I followed the direction given by Google and found it.
And here it is, a little piece of unmaintained land with over grown weeds and some sort of gate structures made by metal.
Instead of the peaceful, calm Zen sensation, it just looked rather sad and distressed, looked abandoned.

Recently there are many renovation works started in town, especially make over for the outer face of old buildings, since the works are subsidied by the government.
One thing I have noticed which I have never seen before coming to Italy is that they cover up the consturction part with detail drawing of the part being worked on.
Such as this design of the tower of the church on the covering of the tower being worked on.

Just two pigeons enjoying the autumn view by the river.
The pigeons are nice when they are not coming to you to ask for food and of course when they don't create hygiene issues....

A runner running through the Autumn under the the colorful autumn leaves along the river Po.
Running is one of the activity allowed to do outdoor without mask during the lockdown , so during the lockdown we can see more and more people became athletics running all over the place.

The World Press Photo all began in 1955 when a group of Dutch photographers organized
an international contest (“World Press Photo”) to expose their work to a
global audience.
Everyday, there is protest in piazza, protest by the merchants, protest by the nurses, protest by the artists etc etc.
The other day, there was the protest by the Taxi drivers about the curfew.
Rows of taxis drove in and parked in piazza Castello, and that was the second protest they have made this month.
The photo captured was during the first protest.

Went out during the early fall, the leaves have not fully changed their colors yet, but it was still nice and the feeling of the fall season was there.
Along the river Po there is a cyclying lane beside the pederians walk, sometimes people stake along it.
Happened to see this guy staking along beautifully under the beauty of the fall, without falling.

Be kind to all, not so easy to do, especially regarding to human. To some human, the kindest thing I can do to them is to ignore them. It is so much easier to be kind to animals, and so much more fun.
Occasionally, we do express our kindness to people, but sometimes it is difficult to judge if it is the rightest thing to do, so whenever it happens, just be kind and not think about it.
To animals, I usually show my kindness towards them just sometimes they are not so kind to me but that is alright.
