A cosy spot

The foggy, cold, rainy weather is still here with us. Today it also snowed for a bit, encouranging me to believe that I would soon have had some unusual "ingredient" for my photos... But it was only just a sprinkle...

I was approaching the newsagent when I realized how cosy the tiny kiosk looked in the gray, icy air, it was really inviting!  

B/W romantic promenade

First of all I want to say thankyou to all of you, blogger friends, for your  very very kind comments, they really do make me happy...! I am trying to improve but I must say that both my new computer and my new camera do help a lot!

Now, the photo. I took it the other day, on my walk in the "Foggy day", just a few hundred meters down the Lungadige. From this angle you can see the Ponte Pietra in the mist and the side entrance of Santa Anastasia church. 

Believe me: this is a perfectly romantic walk for lovers!

Belvedere

This photo was taken from the terrace of Castel San Pietro. Beneath the terrace there is the Roman theatre and Ponte Pietra. This is the very first place I visited when I came here, thirteen years ago and whenever I come to admire the view, I cannot but think that Verona is really spectacular!

Bronze glow

I am posting about snow, again. I can't help it. I took this photo after midnight on new year's eve. This is Piazza San Niccolò, which is near home. I like this sculpture and the contrast with the church of San Niccolò, especially in this light in which the bronze has such a special glow.

The man with the umbrella seemed captured too...

Foggy day

It's still icy cold here and today it was also pretty foggy. There is still some snow left on the roofs and on the river shores. I took a long walk today and enjoyed this magical atmosphere near the Ponte Pietra. This is the oldest bridge in Verona, built in 100 BC!

First day of the new year!

It was snowing lightly, last night, when I took this photo. Today the snow is almost completely melt, except on the roofs where it resists, untouched, for a little longer.

..And finally the snow!

I wished it so much and, finally, while we were having dinner (at home with friends), it begun to snow! A soft, lovely snow that added a magic detail to the special evening...

Later on we went out for a walk. This is Piazza Erbe. A happy crowd in the cafés, people walking and talking joyfully, the snow that kept falling...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! 

May the new year be a paceful one. 

Heartfelt wishes of good health, love and armony
