Florence, Italy

      This is one of my favorite pictures. These folks are looking out of their apartment window to see what the yelling is about. The back-story is this: two grown men driving expensive and well washed cars bumped fenders. One was tired of waiting ( a one way street hardly big enough for one car let alone two ) passed on the right going up on the sidewalk to do so. He clipped the rear fender of the car in front. Both men jumped out and started waving their arms and while they were speaking Italian we understood every word. The one passing claimed the first car was blocking the road, the one -blocking the road - claimed that the second was too impatient. Both felt it was the other's fault. The one passing over the sidewalk told the other driver to wait, he was going to get his camera (his apartment was just feet down the street) so he could document everything. As soon as he was gone, the other driver drove away. Neither car was really hurt. Neither man won the argument. Everyone else - all pedestrians, we - took pride in the fact that walking was easier, safer and more fun than driving those narrow streets. Pedestrians can be arrogant. The folks in the window took it all in.
