Throwing the Dog Into The AirПереглядів: 518The skateboard dude stunned us all -- including Tom Green, holding the microphone -- by tossing his little dog into the air. Fortunately, he caught the dog.

Dining Room With A Map of TorinoПереглядів: 533This dining room at the Torino Mediacentre had a map of the city on the floor. There are also see-through plastic tables and chairs, but they're difficult to spot.

Via Po -- Heading to the Olympic StoreПереглядів: 487More "Luci d'Artista" --- this time it's "Palomar" by Giulio Paolini. "Palomar consists of many circles of light that meet and overlap until they assume the aspect of planets and satellites."

Man, Dog, Skateboard - SestiereПереглядів: 522Tom Green, the comedian, was filming in Sestiere. For some reason, there was a dude with a skateboard and a red dog, and they came riding down what passes for the main street.

Marjorie Getting Ready for the OlympicsПереглядів: 560At 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 PariolПереглядів: 656The 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 TorinoПереглядів: 489These 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 HolzerПереглядів: 1990Torino 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, ItalyПереглядів: 595We 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!
