Hi Rosemary. Yes, there is nothing like a piazza. Here in Australia there is a paucity of public places where people can sit away from traffic and enjoy some quality time with friends. Parks are the closest things we have or cafes along the main streets that crisscross a town and in most such scenarios the old are left out.That is why I love the Mediterranean ethos. Great shot of this old couple in front of the church where they were probably baptized, married and will be eulogized when dead. A life in a close community- something precious in this world where many live dislocated and lonely lives.Best wishes. Klaudio.

To SnapRJW: viewing and critiquing
Hi Rosemary,
an interesting thing to note about viewing and critiquing images here on TE is that many people view but don't comment or critique. My most viewed photo, over 1,800 views, is a Rose Parade float featuring Elizabeth Taylor (tribute) but only one member critiqued it. It was taken with my little Canon Powerpoint camera. (My family teases me about my Rose Parade pics) Marc Muench, yes the famous one, was leading a workshop in Arches National Park and was asked by a workshop participant to take a photo with a Powerpoint camera of the arches. He put it on his blog page. Non DSLR cameras have their place in this world too. Having lots of critiques isn't the goal for me. It is just about sharing and learning how to take better photos. And learning about other parts of the world too like Africa which I don't think I will ever be able to visit. My first image on TE was only critiqued by one member, and he gave me the most valuable and honest advice about how to improve my photography to date. Have a great day, Karen
