Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

Ben writes for the Daily Post’s Weekly photo challenge: “losing myself in thought…” – yes, indeed, lost in reflections about our life or history – watching parallel an optical reflection – often I was caught in this double trap too – he described that well! So my choice for this week’s challenge: a place with thought provoking history:

PADOVA

Former place for gondola races. Pathetic places need horse (or gondola) races; the magic scenography of the large elliptical place PRATO DELLA VALLE in Padua (Padova, Italy) is a variation of the big amphitheater of this town which already has been well known 4 hundred years before Christ.
