Walking down Borgo Pinti in Firenze in the rain on a Monday morning last March, I was suddenly inspired to stop and shoot his pic - regrettably only having my phone camera, so the top is kind of washed out. Would that I had one of my better ones (which are still nothing great compared to a serious photographer’s rig.)

no sun in Firenze?
Not that day, and every other morning as I walked my morning “commute” to language school the street was teaming with people, so I was very fortunate to get this opportunity.
Another completely serendipitous thing about this photo: if you look closely, the “T” street sign has a Christ on the cross added - I came to find out only after I returned to the USA that this is the work of a street artist in Florence who started doing all kinds of stuff to street signs, which of course was technically illegal, but now the town has embraced it and his work is seen all over the city, and is a minor tourist attraction in and of itself. I had no idea when I snapped the shot that I was getting it, until later in the week when I took a closer look at the sign.

@frenchrooster, as much as I appreciate your contributions, when posting photos which were not taken by you, it would be nice to state that when posting it as it can be kind of misleading people into thinking you’re the author of the image. Having said that, thank for all your contributions to the thread so far.
Regards,
Tony

You are right Tony, it can create confusion. Better to write the origin of the photo.
I have always understood the idea was to only post photo’s taken by yourself
- as a photography hobbyist.

Thanks @frenchrooster and @drmark for the reminder of Firenze or Florence as us Brits like to call it . One of my favourite cities for obvious reasons, we were back there in October and walked down this alley at the perfect time .
