Space Invaders Against Sexism

I wonder how effective they are?

Moorish?

Someone told me this window was Moorish. I thought it was Gothic. What do I know?

Heavy Metal Skull

Submerged Door

I've had enough flooded basements in my life for this to give me the heebie jeebies. There is water above the bottom of the door here... It has to be inside the house, too. I don't think I could live in Venice.

Good Jeannette!

Having fun in Padova*.

* I refuse to use the English name of the town (Padua). I mean, why? Padova is a perfectly good name and it isn't hard to pronounce or use weird letters - the reasons (I think) that English-speakers say Cologne instead of Köln or Munich instead of München. It sure makes it easier to find on the train schedules when I use the local name.

Why?!?

Why is it that so many of the shutters in Venice don't fit into the windows?????? It is really bothersome.
