Détails de la cour d'hier


When last April I had posted the whole view of the courtyard, VP of Livorno Daily Photo asked for a detail of the statue and sundial. Here they are. I have added a poll under the header, I'd appreciate your opinion!

Quand en avril dernier j'avais posté une vue générale de cette cour, VP de Livorno Daily Photo avait demandé des détails, que voici. J'ai ajouté un sondage sous le titre du blog, j'apprécierais votre avis !

  2. Very nice. But...how the heck can you remember something someone asked last April????

    Good grief, I can barely remember what happened an hour ago!

    You're a genius!

  4. A sundial, then? I almost wouldn't know what to do with it. I tell time on an iPhone but it's not all charming.

  5. Love the top shot... so simple and so effective. Almost quilt-like :)

  12. I never get tired of looking at the art in Europe. It's so beautiful and classic. Very hard to see much of that over here - especially where I live since history only goes back about 400 years.

  13. That's a very nice sundial!

  14. I was right asking for more: this is a curious and unusual sundial. I like how the hours are dropping just above the statue. The statue itself looks so natural and relaxed, even patient, as it should be for a 'part' of a sundial...
    Thanks very much for these details!

  15. Belles photos, les deux. At first glance the figures on the sundial look like people in little groups.

  16. J'aime bien les cadrans solaires mais je n'arrive jamais à lire l'heure dessus! :) la statue assise me plait bien, les pieds qui pendent dans le vide donnent une sensation d'abandon..
