CAPRI ITALY – We made it here after a longish day of travel. We spent two weeks here most summers when our children were younger. It hasn’t changed, except that it’s more crowded than every. The Piazzetta is one of the best people-watching spots in the world.

We plan our travel here around The Capri Literary Festival, an annual festival organized by our friends Antonio Monda and Davide Azzolini.

Day 3179 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Saturday July 4, 2015 Independence Day

CAPRI ITALY – We took a long grueling hike today from the piazza in Anacapri up the spine of this island to its far end at Il Faro, where we had a sensational lunch and spent the balance of the day.

Day 2088 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 262): Funicular. Looks like we were on Capri on the 4th of July four years ago.

CAPRI ITALY – We spent the better part of the day at the “beach” at Da Luigi at the Faraglioni, the much photographed rocks sticking out of the sea here. t put beach in quotes because there is actually not a sandy breach anywhere on Capri. People lay out on rocks (or rent lounges at a cost similar to a daily car rental) to feed their pre-melanomas, and climb down steps to swim. Strange, these Italians.

Day 2087 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1722): 25th Street

CAPRI ITALY – After a full day of travel from Milan we arrived here for Le Converationi, a literary festival organized by our friends Antonio Monda and Davide Azzolini. This is really, really fun, but visually Capri doesn’t change much from year to year and we’ve been here at least a dozen times so it risks being a bit stale on the photo a day front. We’ll be struggling a bit.

Day 2086 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

On this day two years ago (day 1356): Dolomites

CAPRI ITALY – A doubly grim morning: a rare few hours of overcast, and we’re returning form Italy today. We did a walk around before getting on the aliscafo back to Naples. All taken with my Leica M9.

On this day one year ago: Lillis Funeral Home in New Milford Connecticut.

CAPRI ITALY – Here we are on the Fourth of July. There used to be fireworks and a big party in the Piazetta on the Fourth of July – the fireworks are alas gone – they were sponsored by a local Jeweler, Alberto y Lina, and the word on the street is they stopped doing it after Lina died.

We spent the day at a different place where large rocks meet the water, Bagna di Tiberio. Don’t let the picture in the link fool you – that isn’t sand that you’re seeing. Anyway this with my Leica M9 and a 50 mm Summicron lens.

Here we are on the funicular that connects marina grande to the piazzetta.

On this day last year: a dull Fourth of July.
