There may be something cliche about photos of older people in Italy anymore (meaning it's a pretty common subject), but there's something to be said about the beauty of of an everyday routine performed in friendship. These two girls were doing their evening people watching.

No no no no no no! So, by this logic, because Ansel Adams did it, no more photos of Yosemite? People take photos of old folks (wherever) because they can be beautiful and they demonstrate something about the human condition.
(Nice picture.)
I wonder if perhaps they could be sisters. There is a certain resemblance, even in their clothing and shoes. Young and old people have much more character than those middle-aged ones! (Should I even say that since I am no longer on the long end of the spectrum?)
Makes me miss my best friend. Great shot T!
Excellent candid photo. It's more classic than cliche ihmo. I love shots like this.
Wonderful image of life.
I think it is lovely more than anything else. Daily life is always beautiful! Great capture T.
People Watching! What a great pastime. It never grows old!
I even engaged in it last Sunday while eating a large Ice Cream Cone! Wonderful Fun!
Wonder what they're thinking? And, it will be a secret forever. I love candid shots too. :))
An activity I don't mind myself...
Yes, they see more than we know.....
People watching, love doing it myself when we're on holiday. Nice candid.
Apart from the fact that such photos are a common sight on the internet nowadays, you captured this scene much more beautifully than most others - love the light on the old stone wall, and the shadows. Also, the colours of their clothes fit very well.
Love this very nice picture, done the shoppings together and enjoying the sun in almost the same cardigans. They must be friends for ever.
The pace of life still seems very civilised in much of Italy and more sociable.
Sweet ... charming ... friendship ... character ... shared life experiences, both good and bad ---- those are the words that come to mind.
Nice picture. Its nice to know that growing old also means people watching people with best friends.
People who need people are the luckiest people in the world - I think that's how the song goes...this is an excellent example of the "rightness" of just being close to another human ...
Ah...by the way, they don't look so "old" to me! :-)
So nicely set and said.
An activity I would not mind sharing.
Wonderful shot! They almost look a little shy.
I love the legs. They look like they could be sisters. :)
bigs sisters are watching you
It is such peacefulness, I need to return to once coming home, taking a walk with my son.
Please have a good Friday.
Great shot of life as it is ...
Beautiful!
HI Trish, what an incredible shot and what about that light. Great pic. Carla
Patty and I like to go to indoor shopping malls and find a comfortable seat and watch the people go by. These ladies have been around for a while but were probably new babies at the end of world war two.
I like the photo with the layout. It looks good.
Muchas veces, la vida no se contempla sin la gente que nos quiere y que nos rodea...
Saludos y buena tarde de viernes.
Maybe cliche'...but always wonderful! These two women are no exception. Love the expressions you've captured..the honesty.
Complimenti per la giusta luce.....Saluti Tony
I like very much the women looking in the opposite way. Excellent street shot !
Beautiful image!, Thanks for sharing.
you have a happy weekend.
a hug.
Wonderful capture, full of life and meaning.
What a beautiful picture, it's lovely!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Gorgeous shot, T! I LOVE how they're just sitting there and enjoying their day. Almost seems like they're wearing matching cardigans :D
What a background for this great portrait!
Oh there's nothing cliche about this T it's special indeed. The stories those two could tell I bet!! I love the sight of them sitting in the sun, watching and probably nattering about the people passing! Wonderful shot.
Being together is enough. You do not have it look and said nothing. just go with it. Great message, a greeting.
The picture is brilliant, certainly not just cliche! Apart from the women, I like everything else as well...the bench, the beautifully textured wall, the light...terrific capture :)
what a delicate contextual portrait
looks cool and nice light!
amazing street shot, very italian :)
Yes, I remember that being the case. In evenings, people came out to watch other people. The light here is quite nice.
The humdrum is anything but!
I agree with Jack. Totally. ;-)
[Thanks for trying it verification-free, T. I noticed a few crap comments made it through the filters, but I hope not enough to discourage you.]
It's a wonderful photo. One of your best. (And that's saying something.)
superb !
