If you like traveling, it’s impossible not to know the wonderful Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa), the campanile belonging to the Cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, also known as The Leaning Tower.
Dating back to 1173 and even intially meant to be a perfectly vertical structure, the Tower of Pisa is today one curious attraction due to its high leaning at about 3.99 degrees. How this happened? As Wikipedia says: “The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning.” Now, the Tower of Pisa is a beautiful landmark in a continuous fight with its harsh environmental conditions.

A long time ago, I was adding some pictures of amazing water sculptures: splashes, colors, shadows…
But never wondered what happens when you drop everyday objects into fizzy water… Rings, watches, dvds and bubbles… As Carl calls them on Flickr his pictures are just the wonderful expression of fun with fizzy water and a macro lens.

A few days ago, when I was going home, I saw a big black umbrella in the middle of the street. It was sitting there all alone, open, and cars were passing by… The first thing that passed through my mind was “Oh, my God!! Mary Poppins lost her umbrella…”
