Chanel Street

Ever since more and more tourists came to visit Turin, we see more and more branded shops begin to open store in Turin too. Example like along via Lagrange there are Chanel, Prada, Miu Miu,  Liu Jo, Diesel, Moncler etc....

A couple walking past the Chanel shop which was not yet opened.

Dancing Tango

Tango dancing at piazza Boldoni, one of the dancing around Turin event in Spring.

Tango is a seductive and elegant dance when performed by professionals, while danced by people who just enjoy dancing it, it is contentment and pure joy.

Festa Catalana In Torino

Turin was chosen as the 2015 edition "Festa Catalana" international and it is part of the program of the festival of children's theater "Children's World".  

At piazza San Carlo, music, dances, the colorful folklore with traditional giant puppets, Regional Games and the spectacular "Castells", the traditional human towers that represent one of the most significant images of the folk festivals in the region of Barcelona.  

That's what happened in the late morning August Saturday heat, under the curious eyes of passers-by and tourists, with the evolution of the acrobatic components of the company Xics de Granollers. The event continued until late evening and Sunday.

Peru Dancers

Not sure what was the occasion, but last Sunday morning, the Peruvians community gathered in the piazza in front of the town hall and dance. Must be some celebration.....

Streat Food At Murazzi

A row of food stalls along Murazzi providing foods and drinks.....for 3 days and at the end of the walk, a stage was setup for concert.

Not sure what is 'Streat Food' or was it an error, anyway, not sure even if it was a good idea.
Whenever people eat and drink along the river Po, they tend to throw the leftover into the river and 3 days of food fair, hope they can be considerate not to dirty the river. 

This side of Murazzi is usually more quiet and most of the ducks and other animals tend to gather on this side, so no peaceful walk for 3 days, and the stalls blocked the view of the river by the way.

Lone Goose And The Ducks

The same old lone goose by the river Po, near to the Regina Margherita bridge standing by the side of the river, still wondering why he is so much bigger than the others......

CDP August Theme Bicycle

Bicycle is one of my favorite subject for photography, and in Torino there are plenty of them. However, for this theme day, I decided to choose a different approach.

This is an art piece displayed in the La Marmora garden, a man carry his girlfriend on a bicycle with their cat in the basket on the back.
Interesting is that the sculpture is a continuation of the previous one which was the same man sitting on the bench next to this sculpture. Now, the bench remains empty, with just a book and a hat on it.

The second bicycle shot is this window of a restaurant in via Conte Verde. A bicycle is placed above attached to the ceiling ( sort of ). Just hope that it is well secured.....
