In this sophisticated world, one often finds oneself in a struggle with power, fame, money,
attention and many other unnecessary entities of life. I seek to find a simple life, uncomplicated
yet meaningful. A lot more important elements of life are waiting to be discovered. Live your life to the fullest.

Europe - Pisa
Best tower award goes to... Leaning tower of Pisa! What else. The first thought which comes into my mind when I first saw the tower was: OMG, it is beautiful. Pisa is a city in Tuscany, central Italy, on the right bank of the mouth of the Arno River on the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. The city is known worldwide for its famous bell tower. The best thing about Pisa is that all the famous attractions are concentrated at one location. So this make it easy for us. We just need to see the tower, the Duomo and the Baptistry and we are more or less done with Pisa. While the Leaning Tower is the most famous image of the city, it is one of many works of art and architecture in the city's Piazza dei Miracoli or "Square of Miracles", to the north of the old town center. The Piazza dei Miracoli also houses the Duomo (the Cathedral), the Baptistry and the Camposanto (the monumental cemetery).  Isn't the tower beautiful?  The Baptistry:   Entrance to the Duomo:  It is amazing how an architectural error can lead to the creation of Pisa's most famous icon: Leaning tower. And it earn them quite a big sum of money I suppose. I will let you guys enjoy the photos.   Three pictures of all the main attractions in Pisa. Thanks to the special effect of my camera.  Views from the top of the tower is nice:   Actually I think the tower is not so high. But it is still quite scary up there! My balls have definitely shrunk as I grow older.     You know why the leaning tower doesn't fall? You will know in a while.    Lots of visitors are helping to push the tower. No wonder it won't fall. I like the grass field at Pisa too. Best grass field to lie down award I must give.   I have to sleep early and wake up early now. Starting work next week. Sianz. TOP OF PAGE |
