Winter Solstice Festival, Kensington Market, Toronto

Past me, silent, in the dark marched a surreal army of childhood dreams.

Alfa and bicycles, Chinatown, Toronto

Alfa, missing . . . gone.

Rome

An apparent refugee from the 1940s. Beggar, Ponte Sisto.

Like a river of emotion from their dour faces the graffiti explodes across the wall.

Stone steps worn so thin they are disappearing, Ghetto, Roma.

Reading the obituaries, Venice

On the walls of a grocery store - the final summation

Kids, Venice

Sisters playing along the canal

Friends chatting while they sit on the Holocaust Memorial, Ghetto, Venice.

Venice

Ancient relationship

A son and mother on the Cannereggio

Laughter and screams exploding from around the public water fountain, Cannereggio

Uncle Zio, Florence

A timeless moment flashed by me. 

Will she remember it at all? 

Forever?
