An Onlooker There and Then : an old print
I wonder how people living there love their environment however appealing it may be to the onlookers.
This was taken when not all could afford to buy a daily newspaper. Many prefer to share a posted newspaper as the lady in white and her companion on the lower left hand corner did.

It has just come to my attention that renowned opera Mirella Freni had past away on 9th this February at 84. My baritone friend opined that she managed to improve all the way during her long career. And I suggested Nicolai Ghiaurov may well be an important factor. Freni was married to the equally well known Bulgarian bass singer Nicolai Ghiaurov. Well, it so happened that she shared the same wet nurse with Pavarotti, both were born in the same neighourhood and even in the same year. Freni had performed on the stage with both Pavarotti and Nicolai frequently.
