An Artisan in Michelangelo Square
Every high density tourist area has a ton of vendors. Pompeii has trinkets that relate to volcanic devastation and excavation, Pisa has every imaginable version of a leaning tower. What I look for is that special artisan who is creating something a little unusual, something different. This "mature" woman was doing just that.

Following my previous post in this thread, I have finished my article in my blog about this trip to Serra da Estrela:
I have also posted a separate thread about it, and Bob suggested I posted here also.

The Kiss!!!
Just after checking into the hotel in Venice we heard a loud applause and cheering from outside the door. Nothing like a wedding pose on a small bridge over a Venice canal. My take is these were pre-wedding shots. Hey, they must have known I would be there snd they didn't hire me...... 😁. Good thing they did not pick today. Rain from morning till night. 😩 Not what one wants when on Holiday!

PS..... Nice to have my new MacBook Air on the trip. Makes editing a lot easier and I store all the images on the disk
That's a real beaut, Bob! Impeccable timing and a beautiful background. Amoré!
BTW... big thumbs up from my bride as well. :-)
Thanks, Jerry. I suppose the image was like the "Moon hit your eye like a big pizza pie, that's.........."

I really like that image! Those little bridges in Venice bring back many good memories for me. As usual, however, I can't let a good thing alone. If it was mine, I would have added a dramatic sky to emphasize the moment and narrowed the focus more on to the couple by getting rid of some distracting elements, adding some lighting and color, etc. Please forgive me, I can't help myself.
Looking forward to more Venice images!

There are all just beautiful Ulrik

No problem. I’m processing a whole bunch for the group and hadn’t had too much time to spend on any one image. I do like what you did, though. You are hired!!!!
I did spend a ton of time on a group pic at Pisa. I lifted the camera a bit to get the group in the lower part of the frame while getting the Baptistry, Cathedral, and tower in the frame. What happened is the round Baptistry naturally bent inward due its presence near the edge of the frame. It was tilted similarly as the tower. Took me some time but I did it.

Lots of lovely images in this thread! Would love to respond to each contribution if I could, but instead I just want to say to keep up the good work everyone!
A quick walk to the beach before the weather turned and I had to head back home. SOOC jpg no edit other than resizing. Xpro 3, 35mm f/1.4.
