Description

A little joke for St. Patrick's Day. This is my friend Patrick, Patrizio in Italian, and his dog Pippo. Pippo adopted Patrick years ago and their friendship is very strong. Here we are on the bank of a canal, a few metres from his home. He bought one of the farmhouses dotting the area, and renovated it. He is a retired engineer and a former collegue of mine. Other farmhouses, as the one in the background unfortunately fell into ruin after the people living there emigrated elsewhere. Thanks for your kind comments.

A most excellent scene and photo! I love your special effects! Your friend almost looks just a little bit like a leprechaun. Perhaps a distant relative? Thanks for sharing this scene! I really feel sad to see that wonderful looking old farm house slipping into obscurity like it is! What a shame! Looks like it could be a great fixer upper! Oh well, if I had the millions, I would certainly look into it! Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Sandra!

Clever and wonderfully fun picture! It's a beautiful farmhouse as well. I hope someone can fix it up. Perhaps with that pot of gold. :)

This is a fantastic image Sandra, and I really enjoyed seeing your friend and his cute little dog. Hopefully one day someone will move in and fix up those other farm houses.
