CDP July Theme : Tools

Found this set of surgery tools in the house, kept in a leather case, they should be of the end of 1800.

Wonder how many patients they had operated on and now, they are just placed on a shelf for display.

The Mole in the mist of blue....
Sometimes the weather in Turin can be quite foggy, and when that happened, the top part of the Mole usually is hidden by the fog and the rest of it is embraced by the fog in this case colored by the blue light projecting onto the Mole.

July Theme Spirit

For the asian tradition, burning inscenses holds an important position, is a way to send offering to the spiritual world or a way to try to communicate with the spirits....

Even in half abnadoned and ruined temple, there are people placing inscenses to pay respect to the spirits.

CDP July Theme Motion

The fun of taking the metro is to get to the front seat of the first cart and watch through the glass panel how the metro rush through the tunnel.

Of course having a camera in hand just added more fun to it.

Looking Down - July CDP Theme

Looking down is the theme of July , this photo was taken from the top of La Mole, the tallest building in Turin. Beside a spectacular panorama view of the city, it provides also a view into the courtyard of the buildings below. The view might be less beautiful but nevertheless not less interesting.
