Chicago T-shirt & shots

I'm not much into T-shirt design, but my daughter suggested that one of my recently re-worked pictures would make a cool T-shirt. So here it is...

Here is the original shot and its sibling...These were taken back in 2008, but I only now got around to processing them :-)

Giorni, senza domani...

"Days, without tomorrow..."

A line from my favourite Italian song - "A Casa d'Irene" by Nico Fidenco. (You can find the lyrics with a translation here)

This was shot around midnight, on one of the side streets of Piazza Noveno, in the centre or Rome. The lonely ghostly figure seems to be wandering aimlessly... looking for Irene's house perhaps?

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi - Piazza Navona, Rome

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is the largest fountain on Piazza Navona, in the centre or Rome, Italy. It was built in 1651 by Gianlorenzo Bernini. The four gods on the corners of the fountain represent the four major rivers of the world known at the time: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Plate, each design carrying its own symbolism. The one shown here is the river-God Ganges.

I managed to escape from business conference in the outskirts of Rome, just in time to catch the last glimpse of light in the sky in Piazza Navona :-)
