Verona again, and yet another shot of an Italian girl on a moped! there were so many of them, it's a popualt mode of transport & I would imagine it's cheaper and easier than owning a car.

I don't know what make or model of bike this is, nor do I know what the motorbike in the background is, but there were a lot of them in Italy, many more than you'd see on the roads here in Ireland.

Over the last couple of weeks I feel as if I've been neglecting TE! It's not intentional, work & life are quite busy at the moment, I'll be back :)

Hi Peter,

Interesting daily life capture. I agree with a tighter crop with the girl on the bike and the graffity. TFS!

Are you sure you weren't stalking her? :)Good subject with the graffiti background, however I agree with the others about the crop. Probably from just behind her and above the wall at the top, would give the image more impact.

Hi Peter,
nice gra...ffitical picture ;)) I like the urban scenery and a nice composition... maybee a tighter crop would be better to cut out the other bike, but I like it anyway. Hey, I forgot... I like the background with those graffiti writings on the walls. This is making a good scene ;))
Have a nice weekend,
Tomi

Hi Peter. Good capture of city life. I personally hate graffiti as it spoils the look of so many places. Agree with other Feather's suggest re crop. Good to learn of Verona through your lens. Murray.

Interesting to see graffiti in this part of the world. I'm so used of seeing the history side of Italy, that I never get to see the modern. I agree with the others, a tighter crop would have been nicer, but it's still a nice shot to look at Peter.

Btw, congrats on beating us in the International Rules game. What a finish!

Hi Peter. This is an interesting image you have. I like motocycle a lot. And this picture really entertains me. The background is also interesting. Good work. Sothy
