Aw, it's so beautiful & looks so lonely.

un bel effet, cette rue vide, cela fait un peu fin du monde.

a nice effect, the streets empty, it is a little end of the world.

What a stunning piazza. Beautiful brick on the road, and the colours of the houses - every time I see Italy, in reality or in a photograph, I fall in love. Arona is magificent - as if your beautiful photograph.

Where is everyone? a great place for a nice stroll! hum? ( and photos of course) What time of day?

are the streets always quite like that? I like the peaceful atmosphere of this street scene, so unlike the streets where I live that's always bustling.

The old colorful buildings are very nice too.

This photo was taken at about 8 o'clock on saturday morning. I always go for a stroll earlier than that to enjoy the peace and quiet before the cars come in, although I must say that during the week Arona is very quiet. So nice!
Thanks all of you for your comments!!

This is a beautiful shot of a beautiful place. The clouds have such depth and the colors are so vibrant. It is an inspiration!

Did you have to chase everybody out to get this shot? It's grand!

Diederick Wijmans said...

Thanks ofr your kind and inspiring words, Jill!!

Severe looks to some people behind me who dared to "tresspass" invading the square, was enough to get this photo, even if it was quite early in the morning. Kris!!

What a joy toi get out onto the streets in the early morning. Peaceful and quiet, as if you had the whole city to yourself.
