Al caffé, al fresco osservando la vita

Description

I looked at her.

she was sitting in front of me with a distinguished and proud air, in her simple and elegant 'outfit'. The one for special occasions. 

he silently observed the flow of life beyond the shop window, located in front of the loggia that overlooks the teeming city square.

On a summer day, it was very hot at six in the afternoon...

The Lady was enthralled by the comings and goings of the customers she saw alternating at the bar counter.

But he didn't talk to anyone...he meditated.  

She caught my attention because of all people she was silent and still, as if waiting for something or someone. 

I spend so long just ordering coffee. 

The inspirational photo shoot, before I left my table, started instinctively....

soon it would be a painting.
