Next Stop, Bologna Centrale (Weekend Street/Reflections # 13)

 

Bologna, Italy

It was 2014. We were on a train from Florence to Venice or maybe it was from Venice to Florence. My wife was trying to read a book called "Cat Bearing Gifts" while the two women were having a slightly loud conversation. Maybe I should have paid extra for “la carrozza silenzio.” Just kidding. They didn't bother my wife and I found them entertaining.

Now you can link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals etc. unless of course there is a reflection.

"Street photography, a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

James, she had a point, and wanted to make sure her friend heard it. Perfect photo to tell a story.

Ah oui les souvenirs de voyages sont aussi faits de ces détails, concernant, les gens les attitudes, des détails qu'on trouverait insignifiants dans son propre pays... ce n'est là qu'une hypothèse. J'espère que tu vas bien, et que la vie est douce par chez toi.

I ABSOLUTELY love this picture!!It brings back so much memories; and it could be taken from a movie: you know, the travelling neighbour hearing something he should not :)..

Talking about secrets, ..
James,I hope you'll understand this:
From now on, instead of "Arthur Rimbaud", look for "Toscano" in the list..

A very interesting photograph James and like Jeff says, you could write a story about it. Thanks for hosting, stay safe and have a lovely weekend.

The woman on the left appears to be an animated talker!

Fantastic candid shot in B&W. You get that real old photographic masters feeling on film from this one. Well done James.

A familiar scene that now seems so alien and far away (long ago?)

Linda said...

Le train est un endroit idéal pour l'observation, y prendre des photos est tout un art.

Don't you just love those "slightly loud" talkers. Maybe they are hard of hearing, I do that if Mrs. Jim doesn't warn me that I am being loud. :)
