Milan Street Art

There’s graffiti, there’s street art, and then there’s your random framed fresco on some random street in Milan.  There are surprises like this through Italy.

Espresso Bar Milan

I have a hard time resisting a good shot of illy espresso.  Whenever I’m out and about if there is a cafe serving illy in a machine like one of these I try to take a 5 minute pause from what I’m doing and throw one back.  This machine happens to be in Milan in a bar not to far from the Piazza del Duomo.  Years ago I had the opportunity to tour the illy factory in Trieste, Italy where the coffee beans are sorted and roasted and I can tell you that the amount of work that goes into making that short cup of espresso in incredible.  What’s cool about a lot of places (but particularly in Italy) is you can easily find places like this with machines like this just walking around a city.  That cup was delicious.

Candles inside il Duomo di Milano

Took a walk inside il Duomo di Milano a few years ago and found this dark corner where there was only this row of candles that the faithful light.  I thought is was a nice shot so I lined it up and snapped this.
