Piazza delle Erbe (Market's square) is a square in Verona, northern Italy. It was once the town's forum during the time of the Roman Empire.
The northern side of the square is occupied by the ancient town hall, the Torre dei Lamberti, the Casa dei Giudici ("Judges' Hall") and the frescoed Mazzanti Houses. The western side, the shortest one, features the Baroque Palazzo Maffei, decorated by statues of Greek gods. It is faced by a white marble column, on which is St. Mark's Lion, symbol of the Republic of Venice.
The north-western side occupies the site of the ancient Roman Capitol Hill, which looked towards the forum. Numerous of its buildings facing the square have maintained façade frescoes. On the southern side is the crenllated Casa dei Mercanti ("House of the Merchants", also known as Domus Mercatorum), now the seat of the Banca Popolare di Verona. Other buildings, the tall houses of the Ghetto, are reminiscent of medieval tower-houses.
The square's most ancient monument is the fountain (built in 1368 by Cansignorio della Scala), surmounted by a statue called Madonna Verona, which is however a Roman sculpture dating to 380 AD. Also historical is the capitello, dating to the 13th century, during which it was used for several ceremonies, including the oath of investment of the city's medieval podestà and pretors. Towards Via Cappello is another column, with a 14th-century aedicula with reliefs of the Virgin and the Saints Zeno, Peter and Christopher
This weekend I came back home for Labor Day, and I will be leaving again tomorrow ): Oh well, college is fun too...besides the work, and it's rushing week! woohoo.
I love the Missouri woods and sun! The whole state is just so beautiful when it comes to the nature. I always try to capture an image when the sun goes down, and I took this one of my sister.
I'm currently trying to get through The Hunger Games movie for the 1000th time, because each time I watch it, something always comes up!
I'v been wanting to make a photographic research of the Oporto's inner city back yards for years now. It's one of the city's best kept secrets. I will make of this picture a starting point.
my compact camera died on this holiday :(

Flickr Lounge Saturday theme - yard - I spent the day in Stockholm so didn't manage to get my own yard. These are three of five back yards from the block of flats where I lived as a child.

Callie's fur is growing back where the groomer removed it. Each day I am brushing her with a special brush along with arrowroot powder. The groomer taught me that the powder will help to prevent the matting of fur caused by an elderly cat's lack of grooming as it will suck up any greases emitted by the body normally removed by grooming. It seems to be working.
"Arrowroot powder is a starchy substance that’s extracted from the root of a tropical plant known as Maranta arundinacea. When the arrowroot is harvested, it looks similar to other underground tubers such as cassava, yucca or kudzu, which are oblong in shape." Source "5 Things You Need to Know About Arrowroot Powder"
I wanted to get a shot of the Aquilegia in my garden before they went over but it's been too breezy the last few days to get anything properly focused so had to go back to basics & bring one indoors :)

From the back the Arlington takes on a kind of dangerous look. And to borrow from Lyle Lovett, 'she's ugly from the front' too.

The last from me of this superb little bird. What a fantastic opportunity we have all had over the past few days to get up close and personal. A first for me and I'm sure many others.

Staple Street, TriBeCa
Manhattan
New York City, September 2015
It is going back in time, 2015 to be precise.
Not that long ago, but long enough to capture this iconic street in TriBeCa before gentrification kicked in.
I took this shot with my first Leica Monochrom camera and to give it a cinematic look I colored it manually. No AI or other 'trick' (now I have my Fujifilm camera to do that for me).
I posted the 'original' in 2015 but realized it wasn't 'there' yet.
Instead of replacing the old one, I decided to post the improved version because I'll never be able to photograph Staple Street again in the same mood.

The Three Sisters, Tongaporutu, New Zealand.
In a big storm in 2003 one of the Three Sisters disappeared. A few years later a new third sister popped out of the eroding cliff face (right).
