The Pisa Tower of Leaners

Just came back from a short trip to Florence and Pisa. Did the usual sight seeing and shopping and found out a few things:

1. Italians love to eat. They take 3-hour dinners; starters, first course (which are the pasta dishes), main course (usually a roast meat or stew) and desert.
2. Florence love their Michelangelo's David statue. There are no less than 3 in the city and the real one isn't all that different from the replicas.
3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa... ahh... Who can resist doing those customary poses.

So I set out on a mission - taking pictures of people doing exactly that. Pay attention to those who are taking the pictures because they are actually the gung-ho ones, 'directing' their subjects on what to do.

I'll leave you to fill in the captions.

68 comments:

  1. that's fodder for a sociology essay, me thinks. same along the lines of pinching the tiny distant heads in photos, or the faked hanging off a cliff images that are always fun to make.
