And it’s also what I call a “fatal error” – a thing I can’t get past. But still: I’m posting it anyway. Caution to the wind and all that.

Another randomly-spotted street scene somewhere in Palermo. Between the metal bars across the windows and the tenacious stand of ivy, the place seems pretty secure.
