Lock Down Thirty Sixth Day

36th Day. Tuesday.

Nothing, just stayed home and worried that with the temperature fluntuating so much in a day, might get a cold. It is normal since every year it happened when changing season, but this year it is a bit more inconvenient.

Perhaps should get out for a walk to change some air.

Location :  Via Barbaroux/Piazza IV Maggio

Lock Down The Seventeenth Day

The 17th day, thanks to the Siberian winds, we are back to winter again. Some areas wre snowing yesterday, in Turin there was just some fine rains.

 
It was sunny in the morning when I went to buy some breads, later in the afternoon, the sky begun to turn dim.

The bread shop was within 200 meters from home, it was the only shop opened in the whole street. When I reached there, there was a guy waiting outside and a woman doing her purchase inside the shop, so I waited outside a distance away from the guy.

There was a police car at the corner of the street, but the police just sat in the car and didn't bother anyone.

Confined at home for days and nothing seems to happened, all cosy and quiet, yet the report on the news  reminds us that there is a storm outside, an invisible harm that we have to fight against with patience.

Location : Via Mercanti

Christmas Lights Are On

Just some of the Christmas lights decorations around...Some olds and some news.

Via Roma

It seems initially there was no intention to install any decoration lights on Via Roma, but after some serious consideration, they realised that they just can't leave the main street of the town center naked.

Via Lagrange

Also, in via Lagrange, the lights were installed after some late reconsiderations.

 Via Barbaroux

 As in via barbaroux, the same old lights are installed as per past few years, but these lights suit well with these narrow old streets.

Festival of the Solstice : The Five Elements

The five elements which surround us in our everyday life, earth, water, fire, air and spirit. 
Earth, the element which represents stability, firmness and resistance to changes.

In a concrete city, people tried to live a day in direct contact with natural earth by placing grass patches on the street at via Barbaroux.

Water,  an element which represents fluidity, flow and adaptation of changes in form, an element which provide nutrition.

In summer, water provide a sense of freshness under the hot sun, for people relaxing along river Po at Murazzi.

Fire, an element which represents energetic, forceful and heat. A destroyer by nature, yet under proper manipulation, it provides warmth, light and energy or even fun.

Playing with fire in an entertaining manner, at piazza Castello.

Air or wind, an element which represents movement, openness and freedom. An basic element for survival, expansion, the lack of it proved to be suffocating.

Air bubble is way of air controlling the movement within and outside of a body, along via Langrange.

Spirit, an element beyond physical,  represents a form of communication and ability.It can also be associated with power, creativity, spontaneity, and inventiveness.

Candles are often used as a form of offer, communication with spiritual world in various cultures.
