Cold on a Cold Day...






The rain falls from the heavens,
Strong and heavy,
Clear and steady.

The temperature drops,
The skin turns cold.

And mists begin to form,
In thin white wisps,
And the green hills are now a blurry grey.

I don't have to cry,
I'll leave that bit to the sky,
And when I see you online...
I remember. I smile. I forget.
I think about saying 'Hi'
But no...
I am invisible to you
And I want it that way...

It's a cold cold day...

The Mole Antonelliana

Some photos of the Mole Antonelliana...thought I'd take some pics of the symbol of Turin :)

What the nearby signage said:

'Bold and controversial, this building designed by Alessandro Antonelli (1798-1888) is the symbol of the city, and appears on the 2 cent coins. Originally commissioned as a Synagogue, it was acquired in 1878 by the City Council. Near completion in 1889, it was the highest brick building in the world (now 167,5 m). Since 2000 it has house the National Cinema Museum, symbol of Turin's renascent cinema industry. The dome is illuminated by an installation by Mario Merz "Il volo dei numeri".'

Henry and the Ancient

You've met Henry (here).
Henry with the musket.
If you think he's scary...
Look who's he aiming at.



Let's take a closer look...



Meet the Ancient...



His name is Eudomius.







Eudomius is angry.
Eudomius is strong.
He wants to fight Henry.
Something's gone wrong.



Musket Vs Dagger....
Who do you think will win?
I hope they don't kill each other,
That would be a sin.
