On the Street....Masculine Details, Milano




Everything about this guy is truly old-school Italian: his stare, his gait, and his impeccably tailored suit. Unfortunately, upon every occasion of me raising my camera to take his portrait he would lower his head and walk away.

On my last day in Milan, I could no longer settle with sneaky shots from behind and I thought I should try one more time. I took a risk and tried to get his attention by giving a startling shout behind him in hopes that he would turn around and I could get what I needed and face the consequences. Much to my surprise, when I did capture the fortunate snap above he gave a slow wink,turned, and strolled off.

Wow this cat is black like my first cat, but has the attitude of the one I have now. So weird!

I love how cats can do stuff like that, I met a shy cat a while back, would keep looking down. Even when I got his full attention, he'd look for just a little while and look down again. Interesting creatures!

Hi every body on this site,my name is FIDELIA WAYNE, I want to give a testimony about my HERPES that was cured by a herbal doctor .few months years back i noticed some changes and symptoms in my body. which made me spend alot of money but couldn't get a cure, I never thought that I live again and I am very grateful to this great man named dr OLOKUN toward my HERPES situations, who cured me last 4 weeks. I was in great pain so I told one of my best friend; she told me it's not a big that there is a spell caster that can cure my HERPES.a test and I did, when the doctor told me that I should go for a test i did it doubting,to my greatest surprise it wasnt found in my body system anymore I could not believe myself, I went to see another doctor the result was still the same, I was human on the planet earth again, so I emailed and thanked him. Please, if you are having a similar problem please contact him through his email drolokuntemple@gmail.com OR whatsapp hem on this very numberor +2348132537313

Movie Orca unquestionably belongs to this exclusive category, inviting us on an exhilarating expedition through the realms of nature, survival, and vengeance. Debuting in 1977, this legendary film not only captivated audiences but also served as a poignant reminder of the commanding presence of the ocean’s ultimate predator, the killer whale Movie
