Enrico writes great poetry and essays in Italian (T.G. there is Google translator! :-)) Another plus in his posts is the artistic photos that he chooses to illustrate his work.

Sydney II – downtown

Sydney is a city that respects and maintains the old buildings and venues. At the same time, the town adds many engineering works and spectacular buildings. And they care so much about their beautiful parks! Bravo, Sydney!

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Mary is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney and the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney, currently Anthony Fisher OP. Wikipedia

the new and the old is a constant in this beautiful city

at Oxford Street

at Hyde Park. Note to myself: I loved the simplicity and beauty of this fountain! (January 2015)
