Description
This image is dedicated to Chip, because it was his talking of Kafka and e-ghosts that inspired me. The street is a portion of San Pietro street in Padova, in front of the house of a friend of mine. We were back from a good meal at one of the pretty, small reastaurants nearby. I got the chance to take some night shots of the narrow, porched streets just behind what remains of the medieval walls. Here there was the first Jew community before they moved closer to the market and the university in the 16th and 17th centuries, so the area is currently outside the Old Ghetto of Padova.Looking at the dark caves between the thick, low-ceilinged porches covering flagged pavements, and the ancient cobble-stoned street, I thought of those who had walked along it. I wondered whether memories of the past may linger like perfums or smell tracks do ... and I added the two ghostlike figures in the postwork to re-capture the fleeting glimpse in the past I lived that night.
Thank you for your kind comments.
