Smoking Genius

A statue of the opera composer Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) who was born in Lucca.
He is shown here with his trademark cigarette.

Interesting location for a statue! Love your composition, those windows are great to see. Fabulous textures and colours on the wall. And I like the inclusion of Mr Puccini's visitors. Without them, it would seem too lonely. 8)

Great composition

Great shot of an old building. I would guess the statue and its enclave was put in afterwards where a door once was.

@myautofocuslife Thanks Livia! @annbo The building is very characteristic of the town, with its red brick walls and slatted shutters. @vesna0210 Thanks Vesna! @kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @bobhuegel Ah, in fact the statue stands in front of the building out in the square, though I see that it does look like it is in the doorway! @sonnypichay Grazie Sonny! Ma ora ho quella canzone che mi gira nella testa... @loragill Thank you Lora! @bobbyj Thank you Bobby! @rachelmackenzie Thank you Rachel!
