As I have mentioned quite often, La Mole is the landmark and major attraction of Turin. It is rather difficult to resist snapping a shot or two while walking past it.
So, here are a few shots of La Mole from different views, all were taken nearby its surrounding.
Location : La Mole
It is just one of the many narrow streets in Turin, pebble pavement, old high stone walls, and seems to have lots of story.
It is via Botero, there are a few nice restorants along the street, a church at the end, a sort of pawn shop runs by a bank where usually attracts a long queue of people trying to pawn their valuables.
I think there are also some illegal loaning activities happening there, since the bank's pawn shop service doesn't accept every kind of 'valuable', so the loaners outside will come into play.
Location : Via Botero
People in Turin love to keep dogs, some love to keep big dogs, some keep more than one, even if they live in apartment.
Big dogs need space to move, they need to go out as much as possible. While in time not possible for them to get out, they will just stay on the balcony and watch.
Location : Via San Francesco d'Assisi
The last set of phone done with my phone.
Glad to have visited the piazza few days ago as it started to rain since a few days later and no doubt it would have caused damages to the blossoms.
Location : Piazza Filiberto
Nowadays, very often I take photo using both my camera and my phone, the phone provides me with sort of a preview and certain fun effect on the photo which otherwise takes more time to be done on a camera.
The first visit to piazza Filiberto to see the tulips, I used my phone to snap some photos, because we were in a bit of a hurry and the visit was unplanned.
Location : Piazza Filiberto
These tulips planted in the flower beds in piazza Filiberto sprouted at the beginning of this month, showing off their vibrant and delightful colors.
This is the second set of Photo made in piazza Filiberto with my camera.

Also this year, Messer Tulipano came to piazza Filiberto, in the urban garden situated in the piazza, colorful tulips are planted to welcome the Spring.
The flower beds in Piazza Emanuele Filiberto: the beating heart of the Quadrilatero Romano, where there is urban garden for seven years has changed the face of this corner of old Turin, between the Sanctuary of the Consolata and Porta Palazzo, as part of the project called “Cascina Quadrilatero”.
The beautiful tulips have indeed brightened and cheered up the mood in this rather difficult time.
Location Piazza Filiberto
There is a bridal gowns shop in the Galleria San Federico, looks expensive, and I usually don't really look at it's window display, since nothing is really suitable for me.
I love to imagine that they were looking at preparing for a better future when the pandemia is over.

A Gay party, a political party, not the recreational type. A gay party for Torino next election.
There are still many issues concerning rights, discrimination for the LGBT group, so I imagine that's why the Gay party is formed.
I understand as an association or as a group, it could function, but as a political party, I am not sure how it can function well....
Anyway, it is still good to see that something is happening...
It was the ending of Winter, walking back home, sadly from a funeral, the road leading back home from the graveyard has a series of tall trees, the dried leaves left on the branches were surprisely red under the sunlight.
It was the same road we took everytime we went to the graveyard, many times were to send someone away. That day was the same....
