A taste of autumn in Dublin

I was back in the dirty old town for five days. I met my friends, went to my favorite places, visited the Knitting and Stitching Show , got dripping wet, then a sore throat and a cold, and ate some delicious carrot cake. I loved being there again.

Street culture

Souvenir de Freiburg (part 3)

Apart from being very green city Freiburg has a special relationship with water. It just seems to flow everywhere. They have a river (the Dreisam) and a canalization of it along the old town, several public fountains of drinking water and what is most...

Souvenir de Freiburg (part 2)

Freiburg is one of the greenest cities I've ever seen. Of course the fact of being in the Black Forest it's a good starting point, but all over the city you can see how they have taken care of this aspect. They have several city parks, many houses have...

Street art reinvents itself

A few weeks ago I was walking in Milan next to a building site. This is a detail picture of the enclosure of the site. Interesting effect, isn't it? Builders place the timber boards, people paint on them, then they are taken down and put up in the next...

I like building sites

I had never paid special attention to building sites until I had one in front of my house in Milan. There use to be a row of old houses on the other side of the street and one day when I was walking round the corner I heard a great roar: they were knocking...
