Secret Agent Man (Weekend Street/Reflections #132)

Neorealismo (Weekend Street/Reflections # 131)

BERJAYA

The pouring rain didn't stop this guy.

For a moment it felt like I was transported into an old Italian neorealism film.

Tourists at night (Weekend Street/Reflections # 128)

 

BERJAYA
Florence, Italy

There are so many amazing things to see in Florence. This couple is sitting beneath the Column of Justice in the Piazza di Santa Trinita. I'm pretty sure the man was looking at the Basilica di Santa Trinita.

One at a time please (Weekend Street/Reflections # 116)

 

BERJAYA
Florence, Italy

They both tried going through the narrow entrance at the same. I thought it looked funny so I took this picture as I walked by.

Oops! I decided to take a blogging break last weekend and of course I also forgot the Linky. Thankfully I checked and was able to add it later. 

                                            Have a great weekend!

The Mario Bros? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 85)

BERJAYA

 Florence, Italy                      (The Ponte Vecchio)

Does anyone remember the arcade game Donkey Kong or The Mario Bros.(Mario and Luigi)? Maybe it was the ladder, but that's what I thought of when I saw these guys.😉

Have a good weekend!

Night Rider (Weekend Street/Reflections # 81)

BERJAYA

 Florence, Italy

Watch out for fast bikes in Florence.

I've been hit by a bike twice, both in Florence. One time was my fault, and the other was the bike rider's fault. Both times were painful, but thankfully no lasting damage.

                                           Have a nice weekend!

La Gazza Ladra/The Thieving Magpie (Weekend Street/Reflections # 28)

BERJAYA

 Florence, Italy

La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie in English) is a pretty cool name for a jewelry store. The woman in front of the shop was either smoking a cigarette or blowing me a kiss.😀

La gazza ladra is also an opera semiseria by Gioachino Rossini. 


I hope you are having a good summer!

Window Shopping in the Rain (Weekend Street/Reflections # 19)

 

BERJAYA
Florence, Italy

Did she buy something? Did she meet the man walking toward her? Probably not, but I don't know. After the click of the shutter, I was already looking for the next scene to unfold. 

Have a great weekend!

Night Rider (Weekend Street/Reflections # 18)

BERJAYA

 Florence, Italy

My back was turned but I could hear a bike coming my way, so I spun around and snapped a quick picture as he zipped by. That's what I'd call a lucky shot. 😀�?

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!


It's been a month since the last Covid update for my city.

Newport Beach population 86,000:

As of May 28, 2021, there are less than 50 active cases but there were 2 deaths since the last update. (total deaths 77)  Hopefully the cases will go to zero soon.

I'm glad to see other towns and cities are opening up!

Triumphal Arch "Arcone" (Weekend Reflections # 584)

 

BERJAYA
Florence, Italy

This arch can be found in The Piazza della Repubblica in Florence, Italy. I think this was reflected in a clothing store window. Looks like they had a clothesline display at the time. 


Have a great weekend!

How Much is That Reflection in the Window (Weekend Reflections # 573)


 BERJAYA        Florence, Italy 

I can't tell if that's supposed to be a dog or a polar bear. In either case it's reflected in the window and the man's coat.
Any old timers out there remember the song, "How Much is That Doggie in the Window" ? It was popular before I was born. 😀

I took this shot from inside of a Pylones shop in 2019.

Have a great weekend!

Looking for an Allegory (Weekend Reflections # 529)

BERJAYA
Florence, Italy

This is one of those times when you probably had to be there to know exactly what you're looking at. So I'll try to explain. 
(My wife couldn't see the floating man until I showed her)
This is a reflection in a shop window. I was outside looking in. The easiest explanation is that everything in this photo is a reflection except for the strange man in the fetal position who seems to be floating above the reflected parked cars. Can you see him? His head is bent downward and seemingly resting on the nearest car with his bent knees on the second car while his foot seems to be pointing toward the man walking up the street. The floating man is not a reflection and he's not real either.The shop was closed, but I'm guessing it was an art gallery and the man hanging from the ceiling was part of an art installation. 

Have a great weekend!
