Marjorie Getting Ready for the Olympics477 viewsAt our hotel in Saluzzo, The Griselda. The staff at the hotel were tremendously friendly, but the bed and pillows were made of concrete, and we were right next to the lift and heard every creak and clatter.

A Caribineri (Policeman) in Cesana Pariol600 viewsThe cashier at a restaurant near our hotel observed, "We thought we'd be invaded by tourists. Instead, we were invaded by the police." Most caribineri were glum and unfriendly. This gentleman, however, was different. He even helped me to my seat, and carried my camera.

Two "Doormen" in Torino435 viewsThese two ladies were, I suppose, "doormen" at a hotel in Torino. I thought their hats were funny (as did they) so they let me take their photograph --- until the President of the Republic of Italy arrived.

Xenon for Torino - Piazza Castello - Jenny Holzer1905 viewsTorino has a programme called "Luci d'Artista." Jenny Holzer uses powerful Xenon lights to project "her words with the intention of contrasting ignorance and violence with sweetness and moral courage." The English didn't make much sense to Marjorie and me, but the castle was impressive.

Me -- At Lunch in Bra, Italy504 viewsWe went to lunch in Bra, Italy (I liked the name). While we waited for our food, Marjorie and I played around with my ultra-wide angle lens. I'm not sure this photograph of me is all that flattering: I don't think I will be using it when it's time to renew my passport!
