On the streets of Rome

Here are a few picturesque, funny, intriguing pictures I took today while strolling through Rome. It’s my second time in the Eternal city, and there is an advantage in getting back to a place you like. No need to run to see the musts any longer, you can enjoy the landscape and the people and focus on a few things that HAPPEN rather than things that ARE (in this case a fabulous exhibition with the paintings of Caravaggio at the Quirinale – thanks, again Marica!

I met for example the invisible man …

… and two dalmatians, a lady and a van who turned the back to me at the same time.

I photographed the narrow streets of Rome that I love …

… as well as the exclusive gallery now renamed after Alberto Sordi.

I looked for the silhouette of Saint Peter’s at day from the Quirinale …

… and at night from the top of the Spanish Stairs.

I saw precious or at least expensive old Russian icons in an antiquarian shop …

… as well as cheap art in Piazza Navona …

… and tomorrow it’s another day!

    Unde sint doi dalmatieni? Vad numai unul:) Si taremi-a placut omul invizibil…

    • Adevarul este ca au avut loc dezbateri in legatura cu familia canina. Concluzia partiala la care am ajuns este ca mama dalmatiana a avut o legatura inter-rasiala din care a rezultat in pui interesant in felul lui – dalmatian cu cap roscat. Nu stiu daca vom apuca sa aprofundam problema si sa ajungem la concluzii definitive.

    Nu cumva puiul nu este dalmatian?
    Are “crupa” de Jack Russel, rasa care e si ea “patata” si are exemplare cu capul colorat fie rosu, fie negru, fie ambele culori.
    Privit asa, din spate, puiutul seamana bine de tot cu Joey a nostru.

  3. Nu am cunoscut rasa aceasta, Silvia. S-ar putea sa ai dreptate, catelusul sau catelusa corespundea descrierii tale. Si eu care am banuit-o pe dalmatiana de imoralitate 🙂
