New element in my blog : my favourite picture.

Hi,
I've just added an element on the right side of the blog about pictures.
Recently I saw many beautiful pictures, so I decided to put some in my blog.

I 'll change it as much often as possible, maybe daily, depending on available pictures and free time ;P.

Thanks to the authors :)

No words to explain ... just listen to Bobby

London

Hi fellows,
unfortunately I 'm back from London.I 'm sad ... look at the picture and you can just imagine why!
I 'll try to share with you what I lived for 3 days (very short period).
I cannot miss to say that I like London, it is objectively nice! But most of all I enjoyed it for many reasons.
I walked freely, with no fixed destinations, no time tables. I tried to live everything as much slow as possible, to capture not only London as a touristic city, but London and Londoners.
Thanks to a friend (and destiny as well :P), I met Peter and Adam (see the picture), lovely persons.
We were at a club in which fans of the Northern Soul music meet to share a common passion. Peter loves that music and I was happy that he decided to share this with me. I 'm eager learning about music, most of all jazz, soul and blues.
I had also a dinner with Peter two days later, and we had a walk through the "City" of London. I loved walking and talking to Peter in that beautiful atmosphere.
Therefore I was at the Tate Modern museum, an old power station reused as museum. I like this kind of museum, modern, out of the classic schema, in which you can find the classic paintings, as well as a video produced with strange effect on a mobile wall, and more artistic experiments.
As I planned before leaving, I was to the theater for the "Phantom of the Opera"... nice! Despite audio and the seat in the balcony (the highest location in the theater :(, even if I payed 24 pounds for that seat! ) I enjoyed the show.
I spent most of the time in the touristic London, and this is not representative for the entire city, I saw people from everywhere, a lot of people of different countries, but living and sharing the same places and services, no suspicious with each other, no awry sights ... just living peacefully.
Moreover, English people are really polite. They take care of individuals, above all if they need help. I saw more than once people asking to provide help if needed. I know that it is not very unusual, but I think it was great because it was done without distinguishing among races and colours. Probably, that's why I didn't see people asking for money or washing car's windows or selling roses (as happens in Italy) at the traffic lights. If everyone stops to help anyone asking or not, there 'll be no one searching for any kind of job to live (or survive).
Finally, art, architecture, music, nature (in the beautiful parks!) and hospitality distinguished this travel to London.
Of course, I have to wish to myself to be back in London not too late :P!
