Strolling the Canal

Posted by on May 20th, 2012 in Canals, Incredible Locations, Italy, Journal, Milan, Photo of the Day, Photos, Quips

The Naviglio Grande – The Grand Canal – is between my casa and the metro subway station, Porta Genova. This gives me plenty of opportunity to stroll the canals and see what I can see, to allow my eye to be caught by sight.

Pharmacy and Sweet Shop, with residences above.

This is the door to an artist's studio. The Naviglio Grande is lined with studios, antique shops, restaurants and gelato sellers. It's a hot spot in the evening!

Classic look in signage and appearance satisfies the stereotype of "Italian Style", likely drawing the tourists.
