Feeling Very 19th Century Today
As my hair grows longer and wavier, and my beard turns towards mutton chops, I am feeling quite 19th Century today. Add #covid19 to the mix and the comparison draws even deeper.

In the garden… Scene from the Orto Botanico in the Brera District of Milan
A couple finds respite in the cool shade of the garden on a hot Summer day. We did the same. After walking through the garden we found a bench and just enjoyed the scenery. The mosquitos got to be a bit fierce, though. Bring bug spray if you visit in summer. 😀

On The Street, Via Dante, Milano, Italia
I have never been one to practice street photography much, probably because I’m too self-conscious about it and worry about bad reactions from people.
That said, one afternoon we pulled up at a kiosk to rest our feet and have a snack while we waited to meet family for dinner.
Via Dante is a large, wide, now pedestrian-only Avenue in central Milan, right near a major subway station. It is a main location for the evening passeggiata or evening stroll so familiar in Italian towns of all sizes.
This location allowed me to casually sit and capture people as they strolled by without attracting too much attention to myself, so I felt comfortable enough to try out some spontaneous street photography.
What’s interesting is that these photos bring back some of the fondest memories as they make me feel I am there again more than any photos of dusty history or buildings.
