They Called It Zen Garden

When I was wondering in the San Paolo Distinct, through Google Map, I noticed a Zen garden nearby. Out of curiosity, I followed the direction given by Google and found it.


And here it is, a little piece of unmaintained land with over grown weeds and some sort of gate structures made by metal.

Instead of the peaceful, calm Zen sensation, it just looked rather sad and distressed, looked abandoned.

Cover Up

Recently there are many renovation works started in town, especially make over for the outer face of old buildings, since the works are subsidied by the government.


One thing I have noticed which I have never seen before coming to Italy is that they cover up the consturction part with detail drawing of the part being worked on.

 

Such as this design of the tower of the church on the covering of the tower being worked on.

Two Pigeons In Autumn

Just two pigeons enjoying the autumn view by the river.

 

The pigeons are nice when they are not coming to you to ask for food and of course when they don't create hygiene issues....

Just Eat

 'Just Eat' is a foods delivery service provider by riders who deliver foods to your house when you are too lazy to move but too hungry to stay unfeed.

 

The riders are all over the town and they often have to check on their phone for any order so they can book the order.

Saw this rider sitting on a stone stood checking his phone, couldn't resist to snap a photo.

World Press Photo Exhibition 1

The World Press Photo all began in 1955 when a group of Dutch photographers organized an international contest (“World Press Photo”) to expose their work to a global audience.




For six decades, the World Press Photo Foundation has been working from its home in Amsterdam as an independent, nonprofit organization. In that time, the world has changed continuously, and new developments in the media and technology have transformed journalism and storytelling. Their mission has expanded, and they draw on their experience to guide visual journalists, storytellers, and audiences around the world through this challenging and exciting landscape. 
 
 
 
 
The purpose is to connect the world to the stories that matter.
