House in Lucca

Needed a pick me up picture and found this gem hiding in the depths of a folder marked Firenze, Lucca, Pisa.

Love the colour contrast and the simplicity. So normal and close to home. A break from the breathtaking and awe-inspiring Renaissance art and architecture.

Ice-cream

As a child, there was no greater joy than an unexpected trip to the ice-cream store. The only event bigger than that, was if we went to an amusement park, where we rode all the rides and then got cotton candy and ice-cream.

Now all grown up and unable to have those silly quirks. I don't visit amusement parks as frequently as I want to, this visit ranks right up there. Hell, it is even fighting for the top spot.

Via Colori

Via Colori - Nov 20, 2010

In the heart of downtown, a day filled with colours and fun. A constrained display of talent as much for fun as it was for charity. I took a walk with friends and took in the hues and sights. This is one of my favourite pictures of the day.
