Torino, Lungo Po Armando Diaz
It is one of those days you prefer to walk instead of jumping on a bus. I know I should run to catch a train, but I need to slow down, and so I take the longer road, but the most charming one.
It’s almost 7 pm of a late winter’s day. Spring is approaching fast and is shyly showing its first signs. Days are becoming longer and longer, light has not completely faded away yet and the sky seems a delicate palette of warm colours.
I adjust the rhythm of my steps to that of the water, the river calmly flows beside me. We are going opposite directions, but that doesn’t prevent us from exchanging stories and thoughts. We are silent companions for this piece of the journey.
And as I slow down, I see.
I grab the only camera I have with me and shoot. I need to capture and remember the beauty of an unexpected but longed wished for moment.
What a beautiful photo, and what beautiful words… “We are going opposite directions, but that doesn’t prevent us from exchanging stories and thoughts.” Simply lovely.
Thank you so much, I’m happy that you liked it.

We are so used to rushing all day long that we forget to stop for a brief moment and just enjoy what we have and what there is around us. Beauty is always there for us to see.
Thank you Diane for your comment.
