Inside Castello Part 1


WHERE'S the Poet? show him! show him,
Muses nine! that I may know him.
'Tis the man who with a man
Is an equal, be he King,
Or poorest of the beggar-clan
Or any other wonderous thing
A man may be 'twixt ape and Plato;
'Tis the man who with a bird,
Wren or Eagle, finds his way to
All its instincts; he hath heard
The Lion's roaring, and can tell
What his horny throat expresseth,
And to him the Tiger's yell
Come articulate and presseth
Or his ear like mother-tongue.








Some kind of fairy tale ~ ;) 






A view of alternatives.





This little batch somehow totally reminds me of COD4.

Via Giuseppe Mazzini / Via Della Memoria

Non, rien de rien 
Non, je ne regrette rien 
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal 
Tout ça m'est bien égal

La Notte Bianca

Caught a bit of Brescia's once-a-year La Notte Bianca Saturday night, a month ago. Pretty dancing and music. Many people. Festival coincided with Mille Miglia event, which drew a solid amount of fashionable tourists.


Luna de Tango dancing


Forgot to flip the next two videos. Not much visual, anyway.


After show music

Redemption

Again in early May, whilst hunting down the local train station, I was feeling quite curious. I had been snapping random pictures, when I noticed an old man slowly disappear behind a door along the street: another church had been shoved in between some homes and shops. I decided to pursue the old man on a whim.

First step in . . . and I was, again, taken aback by another intricate interior--they are so deceiving from outside! Turning right, my eyes immediately re-encountered the elder man, but I found my legs guiding me to a back-row pew. Taking a seat, I suddenly became aware of my summer attire and felt ashamed for entering a church in shorts and a tank top. I then proceeded to feel ashamed for habitually feeling ashamed, and all was well.


I snuck in a few pictures of the church, despite being watched. And, finally, I present to you the man in his later years of life. Do we judge him?


On a side note, I went to London a few weeks back. Another pretty city. Prepare to be flooded:



To the left, we have the Big 
Ben.
  
And to the right, the London Eye at sunset. Next time, I'll actually buy a ticket.
