Thank you so much @torbil for your appreciation.
This kind of stripes-styles is very typical of the Romanic and Renaissant period in the Italian religious architectures, such as church and bell towers. They alternate various types of marbles, which usually are the ones easily retrievable in the local region.
The animals were so cute, you're totally right! And they were also friendly, in that public park in Verona.
Thank you for noticing that I do not exaggerate with editing: indeed, my style has always been to use editing only to correct technical issues, rather than to change radically the nature of the photos.
There are many shots in this blog post, you're right. But consider that this was the summary of a 3-day trip, so I couldn't really take out more shots 😂 I think each shot carries a memory of mine, and sometimes it's hard for me to make a strict selection of all the photos I take during my trips.
Thank you for stopping by 🙏
