For some odd reason, I love pictures of people reading.
ReplyDeleteJuju,
ReplyDeleteisn't it interesting how many people read in public?
I am always comforted by the sight of somebody engrossed with a book or newspaper.
Hello Merisi.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is something, perhaps rare nowadays, about seeing someone reading something that has been printed on paper. Reading something that does not require batteries!
Thank you for these great views of beautiful Venice. xo
Very evocative of life in Venice :-)
ReplyDeleteI adore the backstreets of Venice. The laundry at the windows is a favorite sight -- took me back at once!
ReplyDeleteI love reading the papers ever since I was a child. Lovely pictures!
ReplyDelete(Any suggestions on Rome? or Naples? :))
Cool shots of people. I love how the gondoliers are all bundled up. I have always visited in summer. It's time for a visit during a different season.
ReplyDeleteI carry a book with me now, one thing I learnt when in Paris :-)
ReplyDeleteI go to coffee shops here that have the newspapers .. good when you are on your own. I think I need to be sitting outside Gelateria Paolin too!
Love the covers on the line..very colourful.
Yes yes yes, your blog is just soooo wonderful and gives me a lot of energy!

I walk and read too. This morning I read about 30 pages of a book while stopped in a traffic jam
ReplyDeleteOh, to be in Venice!!!! Love the laundry pic. My step-daughter is there right now too..... so envious : )
ReplyDeleteAh, la Serenissima. I read in public all the time & people come up & ask me: what are you reading. I think that's funny. It is not so rare, right? Anyway, lovely as always, Merisi.
