Part IX of XII of the interregnum: Genoa's underbelly

Graffiti image of a praying, radiant nun from the old town centre of Genoa, Italy.Dear Gentle Reader,

I live in Gotham. 

I might even write about that, one day. But not now.

While I am not offering written fluff, for three weeks, I am providing a pictorial view of the underbelly of cities. Today, the final, assorted images of Genoa.

Genoa (Genova in Italian) is a fantastic city with a rich history of conquest, exploration, and occupation. But the humble scribe has no time to write until May 18, as an e-interregnum is currently in effect as previously noted here.

So, instead, a head-level look at the popular art. And by popular art, I mean art by the populous. 

By the people.

A series of graffiti shots.

Your humble scribe may add commentary after May 18. We'll see. But, till then, each picture counts as 1000 words.


Tschuess,
Chris

As per always, 
on every post, 
on this blog, 

putting the mouse over the picture reveals the captions.

And these postings are all automated, 

as your humble scribe will not be back until 18 May.

But, 

I will be keen

to read 

what 

YOU

choose

to say.

Dear Cloudia,

I am so pleased that you are enjoying it. Aloha from us all to the three of you. The five of you, really; I sort of think of your boat as a passive character and manifestation of part of you, and you certainly bring Hawaii to life as a living actor in your posts.


Tschuess,
Chris

Dear Miss Kitty,

Rowwr!
