 An iron happy duck on a brick wall. (Really I have no idea what it is).

 Fontana del Nettuno on Piazza Nettuno

Via Rizzoli in the city centre with torre degli Asinelli and torre Garisenda in the background. City life in the middle-ground, a woman in a red dress crossing the street, a vespa on the left, people.

Via Rizzoli

 A mosaic of two of the Three Graces sculpture by Antonia Canova. This was on a wall in a cafe.

Graces

 Grafitti "bologna nel cuore"

nel cuore

 The famous fishtank at Neaera. From that angle, it looks like they're looking at the fishtank. The TV is hidden above it and it's the World Cup they're really engrossed in.

 This is an iron map of Bologna, in the centre of a gate. Behind me is the entrance of the Hotel Holiday where I had stayed the night before.

Pink and orange and green. That was behind a large church. It was Sunday, around noon, and I could hear the choir from within the church. So I sat for a few minutes and listened.

Colours

 More arcades. This time in a bulbous mirror.

 At CDG, soccer fans in front of TV. Brasil was playing.

 A fine mist of water lingered there for a short while after this aircraft took off.

 One is taking off and others are in the pipe.

Two aircrafts are queueing to take off

On deck

 Clouds in front of the sun.

 Behind the mist is the aircraft that is taking off. We're next.

 I love sunbeams!
