Surprises at Porta Sole

Just recently I have re-discovered one of the most magical spots of Perugia, Porta Sole.
I take the winding staircase up to the center, several times a week, to get to my little studio.
Each time I take it, there may be a surprise, not always, but often.
Like this view, which was how the sky looked just about half an hour before a huge rainstorm, so I was there just in time.

But actually the first photo I took while walking down the staircase was this one, with a pigeon who didn't seem to mind how close I was to him.

But then, an even more surprising scene of these girls, who seemed to have found a nice little place to fit in just perfectly, who kindly let me take their photos.

And here they are, up close. Ciao ragazze!
