Here are a handful of shots, starting with the view right outside my window to around the Centro Storico (Historical Center) of Vicenza, Italy. Some of these frames were taken with an iPhone 5.

Not a bad place to hang your hat 🙂
Not bad at all, Tina 🙂
Beautiful neighborhood! 🙂
Thanks!
Wow, I am most definitely jealous of your ‘hood’. Beautiful photos too, but hey, every blink of the eye is beautiful in Italy.
Thanks, Grace.
Gorgeous shots! I particularly liked the back and shoulders of the statue against the bulk of bricks of the basilica … 🙂
Thanks W-Gene!
Definitely a place I would call home! Your photos are beautiful. Thanks for showing us around your neighborhood. http://blogagaini.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/phoneography-challenge-my-neighborhood/
Thanks very much for the comment and compliment.
What an amazing view you have. I bet you spend the mornings here with your cafe enjoying the park.
Emily – It’s the view I look out at while blogging. I usually walk through that park up to the Centro Storico just about every day. The caffe’ I grab during the stroll. 🙂
I have nominated you for the Hug Award. For more details, please visit this link http://cristimoise.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/the-hug-award-hope-unites-globally/
Cristi — Thanks again for the HUG Award nomination. My acceptance “speech” is online at: http://thepalladiantraveler.com/2013/04/11/speechless-huggable-dragon/
I love the look of your ‘backyard’, Tom. 🙂
Sylvia – It’s a real pain in the “you know what” when it’s time to mow it! 🙂
I’m always impressed by the amount of very old architecture that has survived in the centre of Italian cities. So many old buildings and works of public art. Much of London long since disappeared under the ‘Progress’ legion 🙁 Very nice shots – love the Basilica in particular.
Thanks Martin!
