Non si può negare che le meridiane per te sono una vera passione, ti dirò che anch'io ne rimango affascinato. Le immagini che posti sono bellissime, come sempre.
Buon inizio settimana Pietro.

Pietro - You very well may be correct that you are unlikely to find a Packard Caribbean in Italy. In 1955, only 500 were built and it is estimated that fewer than 100 of them survive. In 1956, the production was slightly above 500, but again, probably fewer than 100 survive.

ahh, the sundial series--this is an especially lovely one! And I had missed your polenta building post, but of course now I'm wishing I had polenta for dinner like my father used to make [ironically I hated polenta when I was growing up!]
Thanks for sharing your eye for beauty, Pietro.

Hi Pietro!
Thank you for your kindness:)
I saw a news on TV, in Europe it's already way too hot, right?
It's hot here, too. it's kind of muggy!
these days I've been busy at work.
How about you?
Have a happy week :)

Hi Pietro, this is such a pleasing photo. It talks to me;
"Mach es wie die Sonnenuhr zaehl' die heiteren Stunden nur". (Roughly translated "do as the sundial does count the sonny hours only." T.
