Splat!:

Oh do I ever heart fashion:

Yes, usually when updating my blog, I try to reference old baseball playing codgers. Well, but in this case, it is true. I may have mentioned up in here that I took about 1,500 photos during my recent Italian sojourn. At some point I will have gone through all of them, though this day won’t be upon us any time soon.

So, behold, the newest stuff from my galaxy of Italian images:

That Bologna, it was:

No, I will only post more photos of Venice. Sorry to disappoint you:

Hehehehe. I was imitating the old Time Magazine ads, where they would say their “eagerly awaited Man of the Year” issue that always turned out that they had nominated someone like Jeff Bezos Man of the Year. My entry about Parma will be considerably more entertaining.

For those of you don’t know, Parma is the second largest city in Emilia Romagna. Bologna is the largest city in Emilia Romagna, but Parma is the second largest. To be totally honest, the weather the day I visited wasn’t the best, but I still think I managed to get a few good shots of Parma. Observe:

No, me neither, but I thought I’d post a few just to change it up a bit. Let’s have a little soft serve to break up the constant gelato, shall we?

First off is a photo that blows away, I mean blows away the beauty of Venice, Florence and Bologna in one fell swoop:

Oh wait. No, I was kidding. They are…. rubber boots! Someone just kinda left them out somewhere and forgot about them. I decided to turn them into a pretty pic.

Another few of these strange ones? Eh, OK. Whatever you want:

And to finish off the entry, a SPLASH of color:

Yes, the Italy photos will continue. I still have Parma to post. Have I mentioned I visited Parma while in Italy? Yeah. But I thought I’d post some photos of rubber boots ahead of time.

No better place to do it than Florence:

Is Bologna better as a square? You be the judge:

And, yes, I know I already published what I thought was the definitive man in arch shot. No, today this is the definitive man in arch shot. Next week there will probably be the definitive definitive man in arch shot. In other words, I can’t make up my mind. Enjoy, nevertheless:
