Happy 1st December!

Not much to report on this, other than it's our Christmas card cover for this year. Just trying to find someone to print them. If anyone has any very good or bad experiences with such companies online, please drop me a note! I'd really appreciate it.

It's from a Venetian lamp shop window.

Hope everyone is having a great week and fun start to advent calendar season.

In Bocca Al Lupo, Rome

First off and most importantly; "Crepi".

This is some very dignified Roman street furniture, depicting the city's patron beast. The background bokeh is the same car as used in Painting By Numbers, Rome - in fact it was whilst taking this shot that I noticed the reflection.

In retrospect I was a bit distracted having seen the next shot, and so this one is probably not perfect. Particularly I'd have gone for a slightly wider DOF to sharpen up the wolf's nose.

Thanks for everyone's recent comments - hope you are well and enjoying a wonderful week.

Update: Explored #292. Many thanks to everyone who has commented, fav'ed and viewed. I massively appreciate the attention and insights offered. Thanks to all! Really pleased the vintage feel came off and people generally enjoyed it.
