The rain is coming down tonight and I hear it on the roof. We are way up in the eaves of an old multi storied building and I like it this way. Cozy. The city seems quiet tonight, though I know it really never is, and counter to what seems normal to me, plenty of people are walking around out there. It is always a relative measure. On the promenade along the beach today, in the gray and the drizzle, it was what I probably would have considered thronging almost anywhere back in the USA.
Here?
It was so quiet!
Look at all the (wet) chairs to sit in over the ocean! Hardly anyone is even swimming! And this group of 40 high school students isn't even in anybody's way.
And so I find it a good night to work on some pictures. These days, as you have seen, I am making them more like drawings or paintings, with etched in layers, causing me to be completely unable to keep up with working on the many pictures I take most days.
These ones are from Italy still, Ventimiglia, mostly the old town over the river:

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
