Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

This is my beautiful dog Charlie. Animals are another of my great passions, they regale you with great love and affection. People who do not love animals do not know what they are missing. I can only feel sorry for them.

They bring warm summer memories.

Smart phones have extended the field of play, using football jargon. We are after all amid that all too brief NFL season. Photos are everywhere if you keep your eyes open. Happy shooting.

During the summer months In Castellammare's Piazza Petrolo overlooking the sea, bancarelle or stands are set up selling a variety of very interesting products ranging from housewares to food. The most colorful are those dealing in artisanal goods such as canned and dried edibile products. There is even a stand with an American Indian motif selling Peruvian native music CD's. Needless to say, this is a very attractive area and is always quite busy. There are also some very good restaurants in Piazza Petrolo thus adding to the attraction. A very fun place to go on hot nights.

Back in 1972, these temples were open to all but now they are part of an archeological park museum. It's full of tourists who must pay admission. Here we see a wedding party climbing to the top to have photos taken. I wonder haw these people are doing. They are probably grand parents now. At any rate, this photo was shot using a Canon FT with a Canon 28mm F 3.5 FL lens on Tri-X. Those were the days.

Coney Island if full of die hard sun worshippers always trying to bask in the sun.    

One photo suffices to show the toughness, strength and pride of the US veteran. We can only say thank you.
