Ciao Paolo,
Simple but very nice composition. I like italian films, especially made by Giuseppe Tornatore and in Your picture I found the same, beautiful atmosphere. I like how those men are enjoying it's life. We must learn from it, how to be happy in every day life. Great shot.
molto grazie... maki

This scene could be any of the Latin countries, as the weather there makes it ideal for the older generation to sit and chat. I like the symbolism of including the telephone sign in the image; "It's good to talk" (logo from a British Telecom advert.)

I like the idea you don't need cellphones...
A great composition.

Hi Paolo,
I like the way you cropped this photo, showing the telephone sign. Nice that the phone is actually missing -- these men don't need it.

Ciao Paolo. I came across this warm hearted picture of yours. Old wall, old friends. Both showing the effects of time. Yet like the mortar holding the stones together, a friendship forged since childhood, holds these fellows together. A nice way to grow old, with people that know and accept you as you are. Well caught, this genrous moment. Regards, Klaudio

che bella foto. composizione perfetta. anche i cartelli ai margini contribuiscono a dare un bel ritmo. bravo e bravo a non farti vedere mantenendo la scena naturale!
