I am hunting for stairs like these for years! I have never managed to find some – either the building was closed, the stairs were closed off, I couldn’t find them, or whatever – but in Cologne, Germany, I managed to find a couple that have that beautiful twisted look.
Venice is famous for its small streets, canals, gondolas, and apparently a very bad smell in the summer. The latter I have never experienced myself – but another aspect of Venice that I didn’t really realize the first time I was there – people watching!! This picture is taken from a cafe in the city center where I spent about 3 hours just observing (and taking pictures of) the hundreds of people that rush by. Toward the end, I noticed this little scene and thought it nicely combines the spirit of that visit – busyness, an architectural marvel, history, and a simple feeling of … cool! Make sure Venice is on your list!
Sometimes there are no fun facts about things in my images – in this case, it’s simply a beautiful gate! It can be as simple as that.
I mentioned the hot springs in Japan a couple of times – a place where monkeys bathe in the winter and tourists can come to watch them do it. Ok, that sounds weird, but you know what I mean, hehe.
This little fella here was just sitting at the side of the road – not being scared or anything. He tried to open a couple of backpacks, and when that failed, proceeded to eat the next twig he came across. What a life.
Be honest – if you could have a Snoopy that size, you would get it! Even though Snoopy is rather old and, thank heavens, one of the few things American movies haven’t butchered to the end of time yet, it’s still super big in Japan – probably because Snoopy is simply cute and fluffy.
