G@tto: On SALE in South Sardinia

April 28, 2009

An ordinary day in my fief...

yep, just an ordinary day in Oberkampf.
(click on post title)

Out for a little shopping, like books at
l'Imagigraphe, where I've been told that
about forty readers came and met Amin
Maalouf, on April 2nd...


________

(still waiting Le Mur is cleaned up)...





... had a coffee, leafing through my new book, '100 Expressions à sauver',
(100 expressions to rescue), by Bernard Pivot...




... and, last but not least, I bought a bottle of fresh milk and said hello to Hamid.
Just an ordinary day in my fief.

Well, if you ever plan to motor south...

... get your kicks on La Pigna Hill !

This is the old Sanremo (Liguria, Italy), built in 'anno Domini 1000' up on a hill,
so the inhabitants could watch the sea and prevent pirates' attacks.


Knowing that Pigna means pine cone, you can easily find its shape on the map,
with its concentric narrow streets and majestic ficus macrophylla trees on top.

Two of the huge Ficus macrophylla, fiercely exhibiting their aerial and ground roots.








Unfortunately, I was on a flash trip and I discovered the place too late,
but I'll be back, soon - my oldest friend lives in Sanremo now.

Drawing for Peace...

"The power and the responsibility of political cartooning were illustrated by the Prophet
Mohammad cartoon debacle and the controversial cartoon
exhibition on the Holocaust
in Iran.


Conceived by the French cartoonist Plantu, Cartooning for Peace
is an initiative born
on October 16, 2006 at the UN Headquarters
in New York"... (more).




The most interesting thing is the universal meaning
of some
drawings...
