Taxi Protest

Everyday, there is protest in piazza, protest by the merchants, protest by the nurses, protest by the artists etc etc.

 

The other day, there was the protest by the Taxi drivers about the curfew.

Rows of taxis drove in and parked in piazza Castello, and that was the second protest they have made this month.

The photo captured was during the first protest.

Fall

Went out during the early fall, the leaves have not fully changed their colors yet, but it was still nice and the feeling of the fall season was there.

 

Along the river Po there is a cyclying lane beside the pederians walk, sometimes people stake along it.

Happened to see this guy staking along beautifully under the beauty of the fall, without falling.

CDP November 2020 Theme : Kind

Be kind to all, not so easy to do, especially regarding to human. To some human, the kindest thing I can do to them is to ignore them. It is so much easier to be kind to animals, and so much more fun.


Occasionally, we do express our kindness to people, but sometimes it is difficult to judge if it is the rightest thing to do, so whenever it happens, just be kind and not think about it.

 

To animals, I usually show my kindness towards them just sometimes they are not so kind to me but that is alright.

Getting Dark

In the moment when the sky is getting dark and the street lamps around the piazza are beginning to light up.

 

In a time when a pademia is still going around, but everyone try to get back to their normal life. 

At piazza Carignano, in the famous bar/restaurant, many people were still dining out, despite the Autumn cold and the Covid-19.

With the new DPCM, no dining in and out are allowed after 1800 hours, so this scene will not to be seen till god knows when....

Location : Piazza Carignano

Aftermath

Monday the new Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers came into effect, no dining in all bars and restaurants after 1800 hours, gym, cinema and theatres are to be closed.

 This causes many discontents among the shop and restaurants owners, 2 protests were organised on Monday evening.

One protest was held in piazza Vittorio, it was a peaceful and respectful protest attended by many business owners who are painfully affected by the restriction.

 

 

The other one was held in piazza Castello, organised anonymously and among the protestants, there were some group of thugs who took the chance to create chaos and to rob.

 

 

Shortly after the beginning of the protest, bottles and paper bombs were thrown at the police in the piazza, provoked a confrontation between the police force and the protestants.

Then the groups were spreaded into the nearby streets and piazza, creating damages along the way. Breaking windows and doors of the shops and robbing the goods.

This is the aftermath of the night of that protest.

Poster Vendor

There are many poster vendors in Torino, most of them are Africans. They display their posters on the ground and if you stopped to take a look at the posters, they will immediately approach you and try their best to convince you to buy one.

 

Often they setup their 'stand' under the arcade which ca be rather crowded in the evening and during the weekends, so when we walk past, we have to be very careful not to step onto the posters.

Bird On A Branch

Walking along the river Po, saw this big bird, maybe is an heron resting on a branch by the river.

 

Without a long enough zoom, it was quite difficult to capture a shot, and basically I had only one chance to make the photo, because by then it would discover that someone is pointing something towards it and by instinct, it would fly away. 

That was what happened exactly, just one click and it flew away.
