Nerd Rage

Just to mix things up a bit, I thought I’d throw in another shot from the pop­u­lar series Julia Sit­ting on Var­i­ous Things (Mostly Benches). Since the more cur­rent pho­tos are still on the Mem­o­ry­Stick, I’ll give you another one from the walk through Gub­bio (Italy) this sum­mer — I hope you don’t mind.

I don’t remem­ber the name of this piazza, and the sign on the house is too degen­er­ated to be leg­i­ble, so this is just a piazza bench. When they’re in a good con­di­tion, these street signs are pretty neat — the chiseled-in-stone look goes well with the whole medieval thing they’ve got going there. Vogue would approve. Okay, maybe you can’t read them from 50 meters away like the high-contrast, sans-serif, ISO-certified Ger­man street signs, but then again, in a city this cramped and nar­row, you don’t have to.

BTW, for those of you who noticed, even though the benches look very sim­i­lar, it’s not the same piazza as in this shot, but in the same neigh­bor­hood…
