Honest man

Posted by Giovanni (Milan, Italy) on 28 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

There is a writing on the sun-dial:"vuoi sapere l'ora ch'è? Te'l dico presto: è l'ra d'operar da uomo onesto" (transl."Do you want to know what time it is? I can tell you right now: it's time to behave like an honest man").

I didn't noticed the sun-dial first - love the tones, the pinkish stones, et toute l'atmosphère douce - oui, il est temps de devenir un honnête homme (et une femme, je ne t'en parle même pas ;/

J'adore ce genre de vieille bâtisse avec ces petits détails comme le cadran solaire, l'énorme cactus qui grimpe le long du mur, les portes en bois usé... beau rendu des textures et des tons.
