    At first I thought you were in Turkey, learning to sing Arabesk. My eyes these days....
    Love all the elements showed in this photo. You were right to include the grey strip.

    I really like the way you show the details of the streets of Livorno. I think that it's these small details that defines the city. Well done:-)

    And a very graceful script for the dancers.
