Epic Battle

The city life can be quite violent, the other there was a battle between two dangerous creatures by the side of via Po, in front of the passer-by.

Not sure if anyone was injured .....

CDP August Theme Music

For the CDP August theme : Music, I have two photo, one from Singapore where an old chinese musician sat outside a Catholic church playing a traditional chinese music instrument and the other one from Turin where a small band was playing at via Garibaldi.

In both cases, however, their music seems to be not so much appreciated, are we too busy to stop ourselves to appreciate some music?

Bear Mural

Have known about this huge mural for quite some time, but it is located not exactly in the center, so didn't have the chance to see it up close until recently a visit to a clinic near by.

The mural features a huge sitting bear and is located just beside the Colosseo Theatre, at the San Salvario district.
It is the creation of Portuguese artist Artur Bordalo who is also the nephew of painter Real Bordalo.
Named "Big Trash Animal" as it is made of recycled materials and scrap, mostly from cars and bicycles.

Pond Of Rain Water

July is pretty hot but in this week, almost everyday a thunderstorm comes and showers the city to cool it down a bit. Since the roads in the city are mostly not so well maintained, ponds of rain water often formed on the uneven roads. It is not good for cars and people using the roads, but pretty good for making photo of reflection.

Here is one reflecting the building at the junction of via Pietro Micca and via Bertole.

Golden Light On Mole

Splendid sunny day throughout the beginning of July, towards the evening, often casts with golden light shining down to the city.

The view of La Mole covered under a light golden sunshine....

Quench For Thirst

Hot, hot, hot, with the temperature reaching up to 35 °C, walking around the town can be dehydrating, fortunately there are quite a number of fountains all over the town and the water is highly drinkable.

A long queue in front of the fountain at piazza Vittorio for the fresh, cooling water comes from the Alps.

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.
For the CDP July theme, I offer this photo taken in Cambogia....
