.................piazza della frutta, padova, italy, 2007
this panorama is taken ten minutes before noon when markets and stores are still open. lot of activities [and excellent finds] under loggias, arcades and in the side streets are making this space very attractive. just 15 minutes later other panorama was made on piazza delle erbe just on the other side of palazzo with completely different atmosphere.
