No, this picture is not in the USA but here, in Concordia Sagittaria! These road signs are on the corner of the street where the pizzeria Sacco Vanzetti is.

Ducklings



Young ducklings in a small canal in the centre of Portogruaro, always swimming in a perfect straight queue and gathering in a circle when they stop.

Here we are, at his point. Grandpa's garden has a lot of vegetables growing, not yet ripe, but hopefully with some sun these tomatoes will turn red.

Shopping carts



This is a normal sight here: in order to get a shopping cart outside of the supermarket, you must insert a coin as a depot. This is thought to prevent shopping cart thefts or shopping carts brought away too far from the entrance.

Is this a common system in you country too?

Reflections



This is one of my favourite spots in town. Along the river, the different colored houses reflect in the quiet river, on a windless day. Peaceful.
