sunbleached

This was one of those photos that I sort of thought I noticed when I walked by but it didn’t quite register in my brain. But then that little voice – the one that’s way smarter than I am – said, “Seriously? You’re just going to keep walking? Are you even for real?”*

So I turned around and made a photo.

*That voice is a total wise-ass.

pedestrian

In case you were wondering (and I am pretty sure that you were not), this is just a random side street heading off from Via Vittorio Emanuele. That group of pedestrians headed my way looked a little intimidating but in fact were not.

church/flowers

Delivery people were hard at work bringing large flower arrangements into the church. I don’t know if it was in preparation for anything in particular or just a regular Thursday flower delivery.

And here’s one of my greatest missed-opportunity shots, on the outside of the same church. I didn’t have time to really frame the shot, which is why that poor man has only one foot. 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.

building security

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.
