Frozen Torino
The Sunday before Christmas was an extremely cold day (-14 C/6 F) but I spent a couple of hours strolling around the city centre.
The remains of the the very fine and powdery snow from two days earlier had turned to ice, and it was almost too cold to take pictures: at times when I didn't manage to shoot, I wondered whether it was the camera or the frozen finger that failed!
I was waiting for Paola, Francesco and the little Adele who travelled all the way from a valley near Bergamo to come to see me for the day.
As I was walking around Piazza Castello, via Po and Piazza Vittorio Veneto I couldn't help but smiling reminiscing about my previous passeggiata there two months earlier with paulintoronto when it was instead too warm for the time of year!
